  • Patent number: 10801151
    Abstract: An ozone laundry system that injects ozone into the chemical injection system in order to allow the system to inject ozone as other cleaning chemicals are injected into the washer. This allows ozone to be injected through the wash cycle rather than just during the initial fill phase and additional avoids the expense and maintenance of adding ozone recirculation plumping to an ozone laundry system. Accordingly, ozone levels may be maintained at superior levels throughout the wash cycle.

  • Patent number: 10803085
    Abstract: A matched array technology system and method for displaying in a two-dimensional array the structured interaction between airspeed and angle of attack of an aircraft during various stages of flight. Proxy values of airspeed and angle of attack are defined and scaled so the axes of the array contain corresponding indicators resulting in a “matched array” and an embedded, unique “alignment vector” of cells where the underlying airspeed and angle of attack combinations are consistent with controlled flight. Wherever the proxy values intersect, indicators depict proximity to the alignment vector, and the direction and extent of adjustments to either or both airspeed and angle of attack needed to achieve and maintain controlled flight.

  • Patent number: 10802844
    Abstract: An architectural software model in which browser-executable code and non-browser executable code of an application are distributed. The browser-executable code (such as markup language and script) is executed by a browser on perhaps a client machine, whilst the non-browser executable code (such as C# code as an example) is executed on a server or by a service. Such code typically is included within a single desktop application with an interoperability component operating between. The browser-executable code is able to communicate with the non-browser executable code using a request-response protocol. In order to facilitate communication with the non-browser-executable code, the non-browser executable code is provided in an environment that includes a request translator and a response translator. The environment includes an interface which honors the request/response protocol followed by the browser-executable code.

  • Patent number: 10801969
    Abstract: A testing device for bottom-emitting or bottom-detecting optical devices may comprise a support structure to support a lower transparent chuck and an upper transparent chuck that includes a set of vacuum holes. In some implementations, a vacuum may be formed in a space between the lower transparent chuck and the upper transparent chuck when a vacuum pump is applied to an opening in a sidewall of the support structure. For example, the vacuum may create suction to cause an optical device under test to be mechanically secured on a top surface of the upper transparent chuck. The testing device may further comprise a photodetector disposed below the lower transparent chuck to detect light that travels through the upper transparent chuck and the lower transparent chuck when one or more probes complete an electrical path that causes the optical device under test to emit the light.
