Publication number: 20250180027Abstract: A pump having a motor, an inlet port, a discharge port, a fluid sensor, and a controller is provided. The fluid sensor is configured to detect whether a fluid level has risen above a threshold fluid level. The controller is configured to activate the pump in response to the fluid sensor detecting that the fluid level has risen above the threshold fluid level, initiate a shutoff delay timer in response to the fluid sensor detecting that the fluid level has receded below the threshold fluid level, the shutoff delay timer having a shutoff delay time, increase the shutoff delay time if the fluid sensor detects that the fluid level has risen above the threshold fluid level again before the shutoff delay time elapsed, and maintain the shutoff delay time if the fluid sensor detects that the fluid level stayed below the threshold fluid level until the shutoff delay time elapsed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2024Publication date: June 5, 2025Inventors: Nicola Sgambelluri, Roberto De Jeso, Andreas Moeller, Mathias Grabbe

Publication number: 20240005611Abstract: According to various implementations, a method is performed at a first electronic device with a non-transitory memory and one or more processors. The method includes determining a reference location in a three-dimensional space based on a feature. The feature is generated by a second electronic device. The method includes obtaining, for the reference location, first reference coordinates in an augmented reality coordinate system of the first electronic device and second reference coordinates in an augmented reality coordinate system of the second electronic device. The method includes determining a coordinate transformation based on a function of the first reference coordinates and the second reference coordinates. The method includes synchronizing an augmented reality coordinate system of the first electronic device with an augmented reality coordinate system of the second electronic device using the coordinate transformation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Michael E. Buerli, Andreas Moeller, Michael Kuhn

Patent number: 10803666Abstract: In one implementation, a method, performed at a first electronic device with one or more processors, a display, and one or more input devices, includes obtaining, for a reference location in a three-dimensional space, first reference coordinates in an augmented reality coordinate system of the first electronic device. The method includes obtaining, for the reference location in the three-dimensional space, second reference coordinates based on transformation data received from a second electronic device. The method includes determining a coordinate transformation based on the first reference coordinates and the second reference coordinates. The method includes synchronizing the augmented reality coordinate system of the first electronic device with an augmented reality coordinate system of the second electronic device using the coordinate transformation.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Michael E.

Patent number: 10184408Abstract: A device for changing a compression ratio of a cylinder unit of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine has an eccentric bushing which is rotatably arranged in a bore of a connecting rod eye. Said eye encloses a crank pin of a crankshaft, and the bushing is rotatably guided in the bore and can be locked via locking openings, which are arranged to be offset from each other by preferably approximately 180°. The connecting rod has a locking apparatus which interacts optionally with the locking openings and via which the eccentric bushing can only ever be transferred from one position to the next. The locking apparatus has a sliding guideway extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bore of the connecting rod bearing eye. The sliding guide interacts with actuating pins arranged in the locking openings and can be displaced radially with respect to the bushing.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2015Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES AG & CO.

Patent number: 10087834Abstract: A device for changing a compression ratio of a cylinder unit of a reciprocating piston combustion engine is provided. An eccentric bushing is rotatably arranged in a receiving bore hole of a bearing eye of a connecting rod (“conrod”). The conrod bearing eye is formed by a conrod upper part and a conrod lower part, and which surrounds a crankpin of a crankshaft. In addition, the eccentric bushing is rotatably guided in the receiving bore hole and can be locked preferably in two positions which are offset from one another by approximately 180° in the circumferential direction of the eccentric bushing. In order to achieve a targeted rotation of the eccentric bushing in the bore hole of the conrod bearing eye between the locking positions, a freewheel is arranged between an outer casing surface of the eccentric bushing and the receiving bore hole of the conrod bearing eye.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2015Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES AG & CO.
