  • Publication number: 20260014437
    Abstract: Methods of simulating a sport may involve, for example, capturing, utilizing one or more sensors, a swing of a pickleball paddle. An impact of the pickleball paddle with a physical pickleball may be detected or an impact of the pickleball paddle with a first virtual pickleball may be determined. A display may display a trajectory of a second virtual pickleball responsive to detecting the impact of the pickleball paddle with the physical pickleball or of the first virtual pickleball responsive to determining the impact of the pickleball paddle with the first virtual pickleball.

  • Publication number: 20250295954
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of generating a feature array configured for training a classifier of impact data measured by a mouthguard includes receiving signal data, receiving impact classification data representative of feature information that specifies the class of impact of each received signal data and storing the impact classification in a response array, extracting one or more features from the signal data and storing in an array, comparing each extracted feature to the corresponding response array element to select the set of features that respectively satisfy a classification relevance threshold indicative of a classification relevance, and, responsive to the number of selected features being less than a feature threshold, iteratively rotating the direction of respective x, y, z components of the rotational velocity time series data relative to corresponding x, y, z components of the linear acceleration time series data.

  • Patent number: 12392115
    Abstract: A water use management system may be installed in a setting that contains a primary infrastructure for water use to provide an alternate, modular infrastructure for water use. Fresh water used at various points of use, such as a shower or sink, may be modified by a point of use water conditioner. Water may be modified at the point of use based upon pre-configured routines or manual user selections. Treatments performed on the water may include quality treatments, such as modifying the pH or mineral content, and may also include experience treatments, such as the addition of scents, colors, carbonation, or health and beauty supplements. Additives used during treatment are provided in cartridges that may be inserted and removed from the water conditioner. Cartridges may self-identify when inserted, to aid in compatibility and usability determinations and recycling/recertification processes.

  • Publication number: 20250196977
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods for video based sensor fusion with respect to mobile structures. A mobile structure may include at least one imaging module and multiple navigational sensors and/or receive navigational data from various sources. A navigational database may be generated that includes data from the imaging module, navigational sensors, and/or other sources. Aspects of the navigational database may then be used to generate an integrated model, forecast weather conditions, warn of dangers, identify hard to spot items, and generally aid in the navigation of the mobile structure.

  • Publication number: 20240379310
    Abstract: A disclosed CPS relay assembly includes a polymeric housing, a relay switch printed circuit board (PCB) assembly (PCA) within the housing, a thermal substrate or heatsink, and a film of isolation material between the thermal substrate and the relay switch PCA. The isolation material may be a thermally conductive and electrically isolating potting compound. The relay assembly may further include a relay control PCA within the housing. The housing itself may comprise an injection molded plastic, e.g., thermoset or thermoplastic. The housing may include one or more standoff features configured to define a gap of a predetermined dimension between the thermal substrate and the relay switch PCA. The isolation material may exhibit a thermal conductivity of 0.1-3 W/m-K and one or more desirable characteristics for maintaining electrical isolation of the relay assembly.
