  • Patent number: 11017585
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes a computing system which may receive captured image data from a camera assembly. The camera assembly may include one or more cameras and an actuator to move the cameras. The image data may include frames that were captured while the actuator was moving the cameras. The computing system may determine for each frame, the time and position of the camera at the point that the image data was captured. The computing system may then generate an index of the captured image data and the associated time and position data. The index may be utilized for reconstructing the scene around the camera assembly from a viewpoint which is different from the viewpoint of any one of the cameras. This reconstruction may be performed based on one or more frames of the captured image data queried using the index, the viewpoint, and a time of interest.

  • Patent number: 10746414
    Abstract: A furnace may include a furnace cabinet, an inducer blower, and a flue vent adapter. The furnace is configured as a multi-poise furnace and configured to be installed and operated in each of the horizontal left flow orientation, the horizontal right flow orientation, the upflow orientation, and the downflow orientation. The flue vent adapter is used when the furnace is installed and operated in the downflow orientation. Alternatively, the flue vent adapter is used when the furnace is installed and operated in each of the horizontal left flow orientation and the horizontal right flow orientation. The flue vent adapter has a unitary construction to reduce manufacturing costs, reduce a pressure drop through the flue vent adapter, and reduce leakage.

  • Patent number: 10371414
    Abstract: Burner holders and cartridges of a furnace are described herein, which include a support assembly and a manifold. The support assembly is configured to support one or more burners. For example, the support assembly may include a burner holder with a cutout region, which may allow a burner to be moved between an operational position and a disengaging position by twisting the burner. The cutout region can allow the one or more burners to be removed or installed relatively easily, without the need of removing the manifold from the support assembly. The manifold can be attached to the support assembly by, for example, using one or more orifices as fasteners.
