Publication number: 20230351710Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to providing versions of user data that correspond to different virtual user presence fidelities. Implementations provide multiple versions of user state data, generated from tracked real-world user movements, to subscriber systems. The subscriber systems can display a virtual user presence (e.g., avatar) that mimics the tracked user movements based on each subscribed version of the user state data. Different subscriber systems can comprise different display capabilities and/or display the virtual user presence in different scenarios. The different versions of the user state data can correspond to different virtual user presence fidelities. Each subscriber system can subscribe to a given version of the user state data that fits this subscriber system's particular display capabilities and/or virtual user presence display scenario.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Brian Matthew DOYLE, Chad TAYLOR, Joseph Lawrence ALLEN

Publication number: 20170038094Abstract: A fuel fired, atmospheric water heater has a burner positioned inside a combustion chamber. All combustion air entering the combustion chamber must pass through a damper. The damper is operable to adjust the flow resistance to combustion air entering the combustion chamber. The damper is biased to a closed position such that during non-firing periods of the water heater, the damper significantly reduces the flow rate of combustion air being provided to the combustion chamber reducing standby heat loss. An actuator is in fluid communication with a fuel supply line such that when pressurized fuel is provided to the burner, the pressurized fuel causes the actuator to move the damper to an open position to permit operative combustion air delivery to the combustion chamber during firing periods of the water heater.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2016Publication date: February 9, 2017Inventors: Robert Frederick Poehlman, Janice Fitzgerald, J.
