Patent number: 11697303Abstract: Certain aspects and features relate to using an image modifier to generate digital designs and to printing the digital designs on a structure for flooring or other decoration that can more realistically mimic designs found in nature or otherwise provide designers with the freedom to create aesthetic designs more easily. An image modifier can receive an image, such as an image of a naturally occurring view and generate modified designs based on the image. The modified designs can be slight modifications to the image and printed on the structures for flooring such that together the printed structures exhibit the appearance of a design found in nature or a desired appearance by a designer.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2021Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: Interface, Inc.Inventors: Graeme Robert Ripley, John Proctor Bradford

Patent number: 11428094Abstract: A wireless load cell monitoring system and method may comprise a remote load cell assembly and a base station. Embodiments of the remote load cell assembly comprise a remote processor, a remote memory, a battery, a remote transceiver, an analog-to-digital converter, and a load cell. Embodiments of the base station comprise a base processor, a base memory, a base transceiver, and a digital-to-analog converter. Embodiments of the remote load cell assembly pair with the base station using a wireless communication protocol, read analog voltage data from the load cell, convert the load cell analog voltage data into digital load data, and transmit the digital load data to the base station. Embodiments of the base station convert the digital load data into analog voltage data and output the analog voltage data.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Interface, Inc.Inventors: Ken Vining, Jay Bradley, Ronan Reynolds, Philip Richard Ouellette, James Richardson
