  • Patent number: 12293334
    Abstract: An example method to facilitate online collaboration includes granting access to a collaboration space to multiple client devices, each associated with a corresponding one of multiple users, the multiple users including a first user and a second user. The method includes receiving input from the first user to create a first set of graphical objects in the collaboration space. The method includes receiving input from the second user to create a second set of graphical objects in the collaboration space. The method includes applying different visual attributes to graphical objects authored by different users to visually identify an author or creator of each graphical object such that all graphical objects of the first set of graphical objects have a first visual attribute and all graphical objects of the second set of graphical objects have a second visual attribute that is different than the first visual attribute.

  • Publication number: 20250120405
    Abstract: A multi cavity oven provides improved cavity and jet plate cleaning by directing pressurized cleaning spray into the jet plates while installed within the oven through cleaning spray inlet ports in the walls of the removable jet plates. By directing cleaning spray directly into the interior of the jet plates, cooking juices that fall through the slots and openings and into the air passageway of the jet plates can be pressure cleaned and drained from the interior of the jet plates without removing the jet plates from the oven cavity.

  • Publication number: 20250030246
    Abstract: Systems and method for reducing load from a power grid by offloading residences that have energy storage appliances (e.g., rechargeable vehicle or wall batteries), may be utilized by an electric power provider to help increase available electrical power on a power grid so as to reduce pricing for electrical power. The power provider may have customers (i) who opt-into authorizing the power provider to offload the customers' residences when the appliances are available to supply power to electric power networks of respective residences (e.g., when an EV is plugged into a power station), and (ii) who do not opt-in. If sufficient amount of power cannot be offloaded from the opt-in customers, messages with offers to the non-opt-in customers may be send to identify additional energy resources. The power provider may send commands to cause the appliances to offload the residences. Moreover, a price optimization engine may be used for energy market pricing.

  • Patent number: 12197357
    Abstract: A physical layer (PHY) is coupled to a serial, differential link that is to include a number of lanes. The PHY includes a transmitter and a receiver to be coupled to each lane of the number of lanes. The transmitter coupled to each lane is configured to embed a clock with data to be transmitted over the lane, and the PHY periodically issues a blocking link state (BLS) request to cause an agent to enter a BLS to hold off link layer flit transmission for a duration. The PHY utilizes the serial, differential link during the duration for a PHY associated task selected from a group including an in-band reset, an entry into low power state, and an entry into partial width state.

  • Publication number: 20250014122
    Abstract: Implementations of the disclosed subject matter may provide a method of retrieving a data record including historic utility bill statements of a customer, determining a historic energy usage rate of the customer based on the retrieved data record, and determining whether the customer is eligible to subscribe to a community solar energy generating system based on geographic location of the community solar energy generating system, the determined historic energy usage rate of the customer, and the customer's geographic location. The method may determine an allocation of energy produced by the community solar energy generating system when the eligible customer is enrolled in a subscription to the community solar energy generating system. The method may generate a customer data record for the user based on credits for the allocation of energy of the community solar energy generating system and receiving energy from another energy generating system.

  • Patent number: 12181604
    Abstract: A rear perception module is utilized in conjunction with a work vehicle having a work vehicle cabin and a cabin roof. In an embodiment, the rear perception module includes an environmental depth perception (EDP) sensor system including a first EDP device having a field of view encompassing an environmental region to a rear of the work vehicle, a rear module housing mounted to an upper trailing edge portion of the cabin roof, and vents formed in exterior walls of the rear module housing to facilitate airflow through the rear module housing along a cooling airflow path. A heat-generating electronic component is electrically coupled to the first EDP device and positioned in or adjacent the cooling airflow path such that excess heat generated by the heat-generating electronic component is dissipated by convective transfer to airflow conducted along the cooling airflow path during operation of the rear perception module.

  • Publication number: 20240350847
    Abstract: A fire suppression apparatus for suppressing a fire in a room includes a housing which attaches to a surface and houses a container filled with a pressurized fire suppressant. A fire sensor monitors a room for one of a presence of a flame or a temperature above a threshold temperature. When either the presence of a flame is or the temperature above the threshold temperature is detected, a timer is started by a control circuit, which then releases the fire suppressant after the timer reaches a predetermined time period. A reset input is provided for terminating the timer and preventing the release of the fire suppressant.
