  • Publication number: 20240073667
    Abstract: A system, method, and device for protecting a vehicle occupant over a computerized network. There is an electronic seat pad with an occupant sensor, a driver sensor control module that detects proximity a driver's portable electronic computing device relative to the vehicle; and a key-location sensor that detects proximity of a vehicle key to the vehicle. There is a system management module that determines alert statuses and sends alert and safety notifications to a remote notification device, which automatically registers an alert if a threshold level of safety notifications are not received. There may be pressure, temperature, signal strength, CO2, IR, and other sensors. There is a state library that may be updated to identify additional dangerous states based on sensor readings.

  • Patent number: 10155346
    Abstract: A system and method for calibrating the gap between a 3D printer extruder nozzle and build platform are disclosed. To calibrate, the build platform is moved laterally in the horizontal plane and the extruder nozzle is moved downward toward the build platform. While moving the nozzle downward, the velocity of the build platform or the power required to move the build platform in the horizontal plane is monitored. A drop in velocity or an increase is power required to move the build platform is detected when the extruder nozzle contacts the build platform due to kinetic friction. The vertical height of the extruder nozzle is then set or calibrated relative to the build platform based on the position of the extruder nozzle when the contact was detected.

  • Patent number: 8622249
    Abstract: A personal hydration system includes a control valve assembly including a valve body provided with a first inlet port fed by a liquid, a second inlet port, and an outlet port for dispensing at least fluid from the first inlet port. The control valve assembly further includes either a flexible and resilient or a non-collapsible reservoir which holds an additive and is mounted to the second inlet port. The first inlet port can be provided with a valve for preventing backflow of the additive from the reservoir, and the reservoir can be provided with a screen for disrupting coagulation of certain additives when mixed with liquid. A valve core is rotatably mounted in the valve body to establish various flow conditions.

  • Patent number: 8544688
    Abstract: A personal hydration system includes a control valve assembly including a valve body provided with a first inlet port, a second inlet port, and an outlet port provided with a delivery hose for dispensing at least fluid from the hydration bladder. The control valve assembly further includes a non-collapsible reservoir which holds an additive and is directly mounted via a rigid connection to the second inlet port of the valve body. A supply hose is connected between the hydration bladder and the first inlet port of the valve body. A valve core is rotatably mounted in the valve body to establish at least either a single flow condition of the liquid or a mixed flow condition of the liquid and the additive. In the mixed flow condition, the liquid from the hydration bladder freely flows through the valve core and is admitted into and circulated through the reservoir to produce a mixture of liquid and additive deliverable to the outlet port.
