Patent number: 11761212Abstract: A reinforced notched sub-purlin is formed by a top flange, one or more vertical webs, one or more base flanges, one or more notches, and at least one reinforcement. The top flange extends the entire length of the reinforced notched sub-purlin. The vertical web(s) extend from the top flange, and the one or more notches are formed by removing a portion of the vertical web (where only one vertical web is used) or by separating adjacent vertical webs (where a plurality of vertical webs are used). A base flange extends from the vertical web(s) in a direction opposite the direction in which the top flange extends from the vertical web. The at least one reinforcement is provided on the vertical web(s) and provides enhanced stiffness, thus improving ability of the reinforced notched sub-purlin (and a roof or wall panel installed thereon) to resist forces resulting from, for example, wind and snow.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2022Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: ROOF HUGGER, LLCInventors: Brandon King, Dale Nelson

Publication number: 20220243387Abstract: A laundry dryer control method comprising: setting the dryer to a default drying operation; performing the default drying operation when a user selects the default setting and does not select a dry boost setting; and performing a non-default drying operation when a user selects the default setting and does select a dry boost setting. In default operation, the dryer operates the drum and fan, and operates supplemental drying mechanism according to a predetermined schedule of “on” cycles and “off” cycles. If dry boost is selected, or if another non-default cycle is selected, the dryer operates the drum, fan and supplemental drying mechanism using a temperature feedback control loop, and operates until the laundry reaches a first dryness threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Applicant: Electrolux Home Products, Inc.Inventors: Ran Zhou, Brandon King, John Scherr, Pavan Honnegowda, Ian Beloved Chazarae Banks, Eduardo Palmeira
