Patent number: 12241399Abstract: Described herein is a process for increasing mass flow of an exhaust gas through a catalytic converter system for a vehicle. The process may comprise determining a centerline and corresponding cumulative centerline bend angle of a first catalytic converter system spanning from an inlet point at a first end of the catalytic converter systems exhaust pipe to an outlet point at a second end of the catalytic converter systems extension pipe. Once determined, the cumulative centerline bend angle may be increased by increasing an individual bend radius of at least one bend within the exhaust pipe and/or within the extension pipe.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Prototitan, LLCInventors: Chris Clark, Jr., David Rochau

Publication number: 20240062346Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that detect surfaces and reflections in such surfaces. Some implementations involve providing a CGR environment that includes virtual content that replaces the appearance of a user or the user's device in a mirror or other surface providing a reflection. For example, a CGR environment may be modified to include a reflection of the user that does not include the device that the user is holding or wearing. In another example, the CGR environment is modified so that virtual content, such as a newer version of the electronic device or a virtual wand, replaces the electronic device in the reflection. In another example, the CGR environment is modified so that virtual content, such as a user avatar, replaces the user in the reflection.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Peter MEIER, Daniel KURZ, Brian Chris CLARK, Mohamed Selim BEN HIMANE
