  • Patent number: 11960260
    Abstract: A method comprises measuring a light intensity at a window; determining if the light intensity exceeds a cloudy-day threshold; operating in a sunlight penetration limiting mode to control the motorized window treatment to control the sunlight penetration distance in the space; enabling the sunlight penetration limiting mode if the light intensity is greater than the cloudy-day threshold; and disabling the sunlight penetration limiting mode if the total lighting intensity is less than the cloudy-day threshold. The cloudy-day threshold is maintained at a constant threshold if a calculated solar elevation angle is greater than a predetermined solar elevation angle, and the cloudy-day threshold varies with time if the calculated solar elevation angle is less than the predetermined solar elevation angle. The cloudy-day threshold is a function of the calculated solar elevation angle if the calculated solar elevation angle is less than the predetermined solar elevation angle.

  • Publication number: 20070098975
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for sealing porosity of at least a portion of an outer porous surface of an article, said method comprising (i) applying a sealant solution on the outer porous surface of said article, (ii) infiltrating at least a portion of the outer porous surface with said sealant solution, and (iii) allowing the infiltrated sealant solution to react, thereby forming an infiltrated solid precipitate, said infiltrated solid precipitate sealing the porosity of at least a portion of the outer porous surface of said article. The method is useful, for example, in the protection of integrated circuit manufacturing equipment, internal chamber components, and electrostatic chuck manufacture.

  • Patent number: 4576425
    Abstract: According to the invention, an improved hinge is provided for use with a food service cart of the pass through design. Opposite sides of the cart defining the access openings are sealed by pivoting doors which open towards each other and against a common endwall. One of the doors is hinged in conventional manner as by the use of pairs of cooperating, vertically spaced brackets and hinge pins. A pin is pivoted in a portion of each bracket extending beyond the common endwall so that the one door can be swung through a 270.degree. range to seat flushly against the endwall. The invention contemplates the provision of a lengthened bracket associated with the door opposite the first door. The second door is pivoted about a point further from the plane of the endwall than the pivot on the first door. The second door can thus be folded in parallel, overlapping relationship with the first door whereas it would otherwise interfere with the corner at the free end of the first door.

  • Patent number: RE49847
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for treating diseases associated with expression of CD20 or CD22. The invention also relates to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific to CD20 or CD22, vectors encoding the same, and recombinant T or natural killer (NK) cells comprising the CD20 CAR or CD22 CAR. The invention also includes methods of administering a genetically modified T cell or NK cell expressing a CAR that comprises a CD20 or CD22 binding domain.
