  • Publication number: 20250100589
    Abstract: A gap blocking system includes a loading platform having a gap separating a first portion of the loading platform from a second portion of the loading platform. A ride vehicle is coupled to a transport extending through the gap. A guardrail assembly having a plurality of guardrail units is coupled to the first portion, where the guardrail units are configured to transition between a first position and a second position. The guardrail units are configured to block access to the gap when in the first position. The ride vehicle includes an engagement feature configured to interface with an individual guardrail unit of the guardrail units to selectively transition the individual guardrail unit from the first position to the second position. The individual guardrail unit is configured to permit the ride vehicle to occupy a guest-accessible position adjacent to or on the loading platform in the second position.

  • Publication number: 20250097297
    Abstract: A water management system including a first end point device in communication with a first fixture, the first end point including a first end point electronic processor configured to receive data associated with the first fixture and a first fixture identifier. The water management system also includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by at least one electronic processor to perform a set of functions, such as associating the first fixture identifier with a first location classification, organizing the first fixture into a first group of fixtures based at least in part on the first location classification, receiving operational data associated with an actuation of the first fixture, and processing the operational data which may include comparing the processed operational data to historical data, and determining a deviation in performance at least partially based on the comparison of the data to the historical data.

  • Publication number: 20250047746
    Abstract: A water management system including a first end point device in communication with a first fixture, the first end point including a first end point electronic processor configured to receive data associated with the first fixture and a first fixture identifier. The system further including a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by at least one electronic processor to perform a set of functions such as receiving the data associated with the first fixture and the first fixture identifier, processing the data associated with the first fixture and the first fixture identifier, comparing the data associated with the first fixture and the first fixture identifier to at least one target operational parameter of a plurality of target operational parameters, and determining a status of the first fixture based at least in part on the comparison of the data to the at least one target operational parameter.

  • Patent number: 9067465
    Abstract: A rim seal and method of manufacturing are provided. A rim seal segment is provided having two free ends and being constructed of a sealing material having a contoured cross-sectional profile. The rim seal segment has a length shorter than a circumference of the rim seal. The two free ends are inserted into a mold in spaced relationship with each other, and a connector is molded between the two free ends to connect the free ends and transform the rim seal segment into a continuous circumferential rim seal. A valve stem may be molded into the connector. A tire-facing surface defined by the combination of the rim portion and an outer surface of the rim seal has a profile conforming to an industry standard.
