  • Patent number: 12292316
    Abstract: A sensor apparatus may include a channel structure configured to couple with an external element and a fluid conduit, such that the channel structure may receive a fluid, at least partially drawn through the external element from an ambient environment, and direct the fluid through the fluid conduit. A sensor may generate sensor data indicating a flow rate of the fluid through the fluid conduit based on monitoring a variation in a pressure at a location in hydrodynamic contact with the fluid conduit and in relation to an ambient pressure of the ambient environment. The sensor apparatus may enable generation of improved topography information associated with flows of fluid drawn from the external element based on measuring a local pressure at the location in hydrodynamic contact with the fluid conduit and determining the ambient pressure based on monitoring the local pressure over time.

  • Patent number: 12292916
    Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying media files on a device are provided. The device provides a first mode that displays a subset of media files, determined by a user query, from a plurality of media files. Once activated, the first mode persists on the device prior to becoming inactive. A second mode of the device displays the plurality of media files. The second mode is active when the first mode is inactive. An instruction is received from a user. When the instruction specifies the first mode by inclusion of a user query, a corresponding subset of files is obtained from a remote system. The subset of files is sequentially displayed until the period of time has elapsed according to the first mode. When the instruction does not specify a query, the plurality of files is polled for from a remote device and sequentially displayed according to the second mode.

  • Patent number: 12293653
    Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose a system for visually displaying information related to a fluid level in an above-ground storage tank, which may be enhanced to visually indicate the performance of selected tank sub-system(s). The system includes the above-ground storage tank adapted to store fluid, having a first sensor located in the tank. The sensor is in communication with a fluid indicator that provides a visual indication of a tank-level via a plurality of lights arranged proximate to an exterior surface of the above-ground storage tank. The plurality of lights are arranged so that when a first proportion of a light is electrified and illuminate, the illumination visually indicates a first detected fluid level.

  • Patent number: 12290609
    Abstract: Antimicrobial system including a luminaire configured to emit a disinfection light in an ultraviolet band for disinfecting a vicinity of a target pathogen. A switching device that includes a primary relay pack. The primary relay pack has a communication interface, a measurement circuit, a processor, and disinfection monitoring programming in a memory. Execution of the disinfection monitoring programming by the processor configures the primary relay pack to perform the following functions. Based on a second input from the operator, produce a visual inspection signal. Monitor, via the measurement circuit, a power parameter of the luminaire. Compare the monitored power parameter with an active disinfection threshold, a passive operation threshold, or a combination thereof. In response to the comparison, either determine that the disinfection light source is unexpectedly on, is degraded or disabled, or the luminaire is inoperable; or control power to the luminaire to emit the disinfection light.

  • Patent number: 12292887
    Abstract: A hybrid query execution plan is generated for executing queries on database systems implementing a columnar cache. A hybrid query execution plan combines a query execution plan for querying and retrieving data from a columnar cache and a base table. A columnar cache stores cached data in column-major format, which is logically represented by the database management system in row-major format. A database management system as described herein can scan valid blocks of column data according to a column scan operation. The system can identify invalidated blocks and execute a different sub-execution plan of the hybrid query execution plan to scan corresponding rows in tables corresponding to the location of data for the invalidated blocks.
