Patent number: 11632531Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for synchronization and presentation of multiple 3D content streams. Example methods may include determining a first content stream of 3D content to send to a user device, where movement of the user device causes presentation of different portions of the 3D content at the user device, and determining a first position of the user device. Some methods may include causing presentation of a first portion of the first content stream at the user device, where the first portion corresponds to the first position, determining a second content stream of 3D content, where movement of the user device causes presentation of different portions of the 3D content at the user device, and causing presentation of a second portion of the second content stream at the user device, where the second portion corresponds to the first position of the user device.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tony Norman Bryan, Paul Martin, Samuel Leiber, Brent Allen Colson

Publication number: 20230017947Abstract: A fountain apparatus may include a wall insert that can be threadably attached to a water inlet port in the wall of a pool. The wall insert may split water flow into two streams, one that passes through a jet nozzle ball and into the pool, and the other that flows into a reservoir that supplies water to a stream nozzle tip to form a water fountain. A water insert reservoir cap may be releasably engageable with the wall insert and include two fluid passageways, one corresponding to the flow path to the jet nozzle ball and the other corresponding to the reservoir and the flow path to the stream nozzle tip. A reservoir locking cap may be used to secure the wall insert reservoir cap to the wall insert. A jet nozzle cap may be used to secure the jet nozzle ball to the reservoir locking cap.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: COOL TECH USA LLCInventor: Brent Allen Smith

Publication number: 20220407176Abstract: A system for mitigating fire within a battery storage container enclosing an energy storage system includes a sensor configured to detect a precursor condition indicative of a potential fire or explosion, a controller, and a set of extendable battery trays, each including a tray ejector and containing a set of battery cells. The controller detects a precursor condition in a battery tray via the sensor and ejects the battery tray to increase the distance between the battery tray and adjacent battery trays. The system can include a cooling channel in the battery tray configured to cool the set of battery cells, and/or a nozzle configured to direct fluid into the battery tray to suppress the precursor condition. In one variation, the system includes a door of the container configured to open, venting the interior of the container in response to detection of a precursor condition indicating a potential explosion.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Noah Lael Ryder, Brent Allen Turner, III, Ryan Alexander Hutchens, Anthony James Natale
