  • Publication number: 20240344305
    Abstract: A faucet having a retractable spray head with a dampened retraction feature. One aspect is a faucet assembly comprising a collar fixedly attachable to a hose, and a damper mechanism including a rotary damper including a pinion, and a rack including a hose catch that allows the hose to move freely until the collar intersects with a hose catch, wherein the rack and the pinion movably connect. When a faucet spray head is moving from an extended position to a retracted position, the hose passes through the hose catch until the collar intersects with the hose catch, the collar engaging with the hose catch to move together with the rack along the rotary damper, thereby slowing retraction of the faucet spray head until the faucet spray head is in the retracted position.

  • Publication number: 20240109378
    Abstract: A modular tire pressure leak detection system includes a tire that supports a vehicle and a sensor unit mounted on the tire. The sensor unit detects real-time tire parameters inside the tire and transmits the parameters to a processor. A plurality of modules are in electronic communication with the processor. The plurality of modules include a pre-processing module that receives the parameters and applies a set of operations to generate pressure time series data, a leak detection module that receives the pressure time series data and determines a leak rate of the tire, and a post-processing module that receives the leak rate of the tire and analyzes the leak rate of the tire with determinations from a plurality of conditions. A leak alert is issued by the post-processing module based upon the analysis of the leak rate of the tire and the determinations from the plurality of conditions.

  • Patent number: 11865875
    Abstract: A tire high temperature forecasting system includes at least one tire that supports a vehicle, and at least one sensor mounted on the tire for measuring a temperature of the tire. An electronic memory capacity is in a unit mounted on the tire for storing tire identification information. A processor is in electronic communication with the sensor and the electronic memory capacity, in which the processor receives and correlates the measured temperature, a time of the temperature measurement, and the tire identification information. Transmission means transmit the measured temperature, a time of the temperature measurement, and the tire identification information to a remote processor. The remote processor executes a forecasting model, and the forecasting model generates a forecast estimate. If the forecast estimate includes a predicted high temperature that is greater than a predetermined high temperature threshold for the tire, an alert is generated by the forecasting model.

  • Publication number: 20230406549
    Abstract: UAV (400, 500, 600) systems and methods for simulation of reduced-gravity environments are disclosed. A UAV (400, 500, 600) system has an ascent vehicle (104), comprising ascent thrust means, and an aerodynamic, free fall descent UAV (102, 706), comprising descent thrust means. The ascent vehicle (104) comprises means to convey the descent UAV (102, 706) to a drop altitude (108), and the descent UAV (102, 706) is separable from the ascent vehicle (104). The descent thrust means is operable, following separation of the descent UAV (102, 706) from the ascent vehicle (104), to provide a thrust component in a descent direction (256), for countering air resistance on the UAV (400, 500, 600). The descent UAV (102, 706) may comprise a sensor system and controller (204), and the descent thrust means may comprise a ducted fan system.
