  • Multilevel Fire Detector
    Publication number: 20250095467
    Abstract: A multilevel fire detector system includes a vessel with low-cost thermoelectric sensors such as thermopiles, facing multiple directions, that amplify infrared (IR) wavelengths particular to wildfire. A controller processes and compares IR data patterns in various ways and determines if potential fire risk or heat surges exceeds a threshold, which is a function of on-board and external data, then produces a warning signal transmitted by a communication system. The system may be deployed on its own, or configured with infrastructure, including transmission lines implicated in wildfires.

    Publication number: 20250089606
    Abstract: A method of mowing with an autonomous robot lawnmower includes traversing a mowable area with the autonomous robot lawnmower carrying a cutter and a vegetation characteristic sensor. The vegetation characteristic sensor is configured to generate sensor data in response to detecting a vegetation characteristic of the mowable area. The vegetation characteristic is selected from the group consisting of a moisture content, a grass height, and a color. The method includes storing position-referenced data representing the vegetation characteristic detected across the mowable area. The position-referenced data is based at least in part on the sensor data and position data. The method includes sending data to a remote device to cause the remote device to display a map including information based on the position-referenced data.

  • METHODS FOR CONTROLLING TEMPERATURE IN ULTRASONIC DEVICE
    Publication number: 20250090191
    Abstract: A generator, ultrasonic device, and method for controlling a temperature of an ultrasonic blade are disclosed. A control circuit coupled to a memory determines an actual resonant frequency of an ultrasonic electromechanical system comprising an ultrasonic transducer coupled to an ultrasonic blade by an ultrasonic waveguide. The actual resonant frequency is correlated to an actual temperature of the ultrasonic blade. The control circuit retrieves from the memory a reference resonant frequency of the ultrasonic electromechanical system. The reference resonant frequency is correlated to a reference temperature of the ultrasonic blade. The control circuit then infers the temperature of the ultrasonic blade based on the difference between the actual resonant frequency and the reference resonant frequency.

  • Hygiene Implement Holder with Shield
    Publication number: 20250089947
    Abstract: The holder rests or attaches to the ledge of a sink and stores a tool such as a toothbrush in an inverted position to drain into the sink basin. The holder includes a base cooperating with a suction cup, a post with at least one notch, and an arm with slots to hold the tool handle. In most cases, a three-walled shield protects the stored tool from splashes or debris created in the sink during regular use. The angle of the tool holder advantageously encourages any liquid debris on the tool to drain away from the tool as it dries during storage. In one example, a toothbrush handle rests in the notch and contacts the arm extending over the sink. The cleaning head, bristles, razor, or other working end of the tool will desirably hang to enhance the hygienic storage of the tool. A cover protects the tool from splashes.

  • TECHNIQUES FOR THROUGHPUT-CONSTRAINED BEAM SELECTION WITH SELF-CORRECTION AND VIRTUAL SERVING BEAM TRACKING
    Publication number: 20250096877
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may configure a first set of throughput targets and a second set of throughput targets for an application layer. The UE may set a target throughput rate associated with the application to a required throughput target included in the first set of throughput targets. The UE may monitor a real-time throughput rate associated with the application layer. The UE may set the target throughput rate to a value in the second set of throughput targets based at least in part on a difference between the real-time throughput rate and the required throughput target satisfying a threshold. The UE may select, from a set of candidate beams, a serving beam associated with an estimated application layer throughput that satisfies the target throughput rate. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • OFFSET SCORE CONFIGURATION
    Publication number: 20250091378
    Abstract: A greeting card has a front cover, a back cover, and an internal protection panel positioned there between. A pop-up is positioned between the front cover and the protection panel. The protection panel may be coupled with the front cover to protect and keep the pop-up in a closed position. The back cover is configured so that in a partially open position it keeps the front cover and protection panel coupled and in a fully open position it keeps the front cover and protection panel in a flat position to allow the pop-up to be more properly displayed. The front cover, protection panel and back cover can be formed from a single piece of cardstock, and the card can be further configured to allow for automated personalized printing.
