  • Publication number: 20250107650
    Abstract: An equipment hanging device includes a equipment loop for holding a large item such as a bat, and hanging arms for attaching smaller items like mitts and helmets. The hanging device has a body from which hang the loop and two arms. Another hanging arm is attached at the bottom of the equipment loop. At the top of the body is a looped hanger strap to which a clip may be attached. The clip might be configured to hang from a chain link fence or the like. The front of the hanging device body has an area for inserting a front insert, and the back of the hanging device body has an area for a back insert. For example the back insert plate might be a transparent window to allow something like a picture or sticker to be placed behind the window. The front insert plate might be a badge showing a brand logo or the like. A retaining band may be used to hold the window and plates in place.

  • Publication number: 20250092977
    Abstract: To complete a transfer of solid material such as mulch, multiple hoses may have to be connected together, therefore, such hoses have hose connection fittings attached at their ends. A hose connector has a male fitting connected to a first hose and a female fitting connected to the second hose. The male fitting may be inserted into the female fitting and the two fittings are secured together thereby connecting a first hose to a second hose. The hose connector has a locking assembly consisting of set screw, a radial hole defined in the female fitting, and a recess for receiving the set screw in the male fitting.

  • Patent number: 12232557
    Abstract: A helmet comprises a shell defining a shell ventilation aperture and an inner liner securable within the shell. The inner liner defines an inner liner ventilation aperture and a recessed track. A ventilation control includes a slider plate and a boss disposed on the slider plate. The boss is configured to be frictionally retained within the recessed track while providing for the slider plate to be reversibly displaced along the recessed track from a first position in which the slider plate blocks a flow of air through the inner liner ventilation aperture to a second position in which the slider plate permits the flow of air through the inner liner ventilation aperture. The slider plate is configured to be reversibly displaced between the first and second position by a force applied upon a lower surface of the slider plate from within the helmet.

  • Patent number: 12201931
    Abstract: A filter unit for use with a filtrating fluid flow system is configured to receive a flow of a fluid containing particulate matter. The filter unit comprises a filter structure formed of a filter material configured to at least partially filter the particulate matter from the flow of fluid. The filter unit further comprises an entry plate located proximate the filter structure entrance. The filter structure and the entry plate together define a fluid cavity within the filter unit, the entry plate having at least one orifice defined therein through which the flow of fluid can pass into the fluid cavity. The orifice is configured to form a choke, creating a Venturi effect for temporarily increasing the velocity of the flow of fluid through the entry plate and within the fluid cavity, and onto the filter material.

  • Publication number: 20240292074
    Abstract: A method is provided for reconstructing images or video from output of neuromorphic vision (NMV) sensors in a low-light environment. The method includes passively sensing light by an array of NMV sensors in the low-light environment, integrating the sensed light by each of the NMV sensors, outputting a time-stamped event signal per sensor of the array of NMV sensors upon a value of the integration exceeding a threshold value, resetting each NMV sensor after outputting an event signal for new integration of sensed light, combining the event signals, and reconstructing an image and/or video based on the combined event signals.

  • Publication number: 20230333221
    Abstract: A time-of-flight sensor threshold circuit outputs a threshold voltage to a time-of-flight sensor, the threshold reducing over the duration of a time-of-flight measurement, which reduction can occur continually during the measurement. The circuit is provided with an initial threshold voltage portion to set the threshold voltage corresponding to a selected maximum threshold value, a time-dependent portion, to charge and discharge over time, to or from a current control portion, a threshold voltage ramp control portion to lower the threshold value over time by charging or discharging the time-dependent portion to or from the current control portion at a selected rate, and a synchronizing portion to synchronize current flow to or from the current control portion with a synchronizing input signal synchronized with an illumination pulse from a connected illuminator.
