  • Patent number: 12181457
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating an aroma map is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes learning one or more aromas associated with one or more items. The computer-implemented method further includes identifying a presence of an item within a venue based on comparing one or more aromas detected by one or more sensors located within the venue with one or more learned aromas associated with the item. The computer-implemented method further includes identifying a micro-location of the item based, at least in part, on a location of the one or more sensors which detected the aroma. The computer-implemented method further includes generating an aroma map geospatially indicating the micro-location of the item within the venue.

  • Publication number: 20240122897
    Abstract: DMT nicotinate and DMT pamoate are disclosed. DMT and its salts are found useful in the treatment of stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic brain injury. They are particularly useful in the treatment of haemorrhagic stroke. They are particularly useful in the immediate treatment of undiagnosed stroke. They are for use with anti-hypertensives when treating haemorrhagic stroke or TBI. Also taught are preferred dosages and serum levels of DMT, an intravenous pump device containing a pharmaceutically acceptable form of DMT. The pump may be configured to provide a specific dose and/or duration. The pump may have a locking system to prevent access to said compound or said DMT above the dose.

  • Publication number: 20230284773
    Abstract: A rapid access pouch system includes an outer pouch having an inner storage compartment defined by a front surface, a back surface, two closed side surfaces, an open end, and a closed end. An inner tray is sized and shaped to fit within the inner storage compartment. The inner tray is semi-rigid. The inner tray includes a handle that protrudes out of the open end of the inner storage compartment when the inner tray is positioned inside the outer pouch. The open end of the outer pouch comprises a closing mechanism operably adapted for rapidly converting the outer pouch between an open configuration and a closed configuration. One or more outer storage pockets are fixedly attached to the front surface of the outer pouch, and the outer storage pockets have openings that are adjacent to the closed end of the outer pouch.

  • Patent number: 11321962
    Abstract: Implementations include actions of receiving consumer-specific data and ID-specific data from an identification presented by a consumer to a vending machine, processing at least a portion of the ID-specific data to determine one or more of whether the identification is unexpired and whether the identification is authentic, and serving the consumer from the vending machine at least partially in response to determining that the identification is unexpired and that the identification is authentic and determining that the consumer is authentic relative to the identification.

  • Patent number: 10954005
    Abstract: A spacecraft includes a power train that includes a solar array, an electric propulsion subsystem, and a power conversion module. The power conversion module receives power from the solar array at a voltage, Vi; and delivers power to the electric propulsion subsystem at a voltage, Vo. The spacecraft is configured to operate at a varying distance, D, from the sun within the range of Dmin to Dmax, Dmax being at least 1.3×Dmin. The solar array is configured to deliver power to the power conversion module at a voltage approximately equal to Vo when the spacecraft is proximate to Dmax.

  • Publication number: 20210063108
    Abstract: Devices for mounting firearms to dashboards and motorcycle handlebars, making them readily available to drivers, are provided. A magnetic firearm dash mount kit includes a cup ring, a ring, a round cap, and a fastener. The cup ring houses the ring magnet, which in turn surrounds the round cap. The fastener is inserted through a fastener hole of the case and a corresponding hole in the vehicle dash panel to secure the magnetic firearm mount to the vehicle dash panel. A magnetic firearm mount assembly for a motorcycle comprises a magnetic firearm mount, a clamp, and optionally a barrel mount. The magnet is strong enough to stably secure a variety of handheld pistols to the mount under bumpy driving conditions. The clamp is linked to the mount and is stably and releasably mount about a motorcycle handlebar. The barrel mount fits in the firearm barrel to further secure the firearm.

  • Patent number: 10788226
    Abstract: A packaged terminal air conditioner unit (PTAC) and methods for operating the same are provided. The PTAC includes a vent aperture defined in a bulkhead of the PTAC through which make-up air may flow. An indoor fan urges a flow of primary make-up air at a primary flow rate and an auxiliary fan urges a flow of auxiliary make-up air at an auxiliary flow rate. A controller determines a target make-up air flow rate, e.g., based on a user setting which is determined from building code calculations factoring in expected room occupancy, room size, and other factors. The controller then operates the auxiliary fan to urge the flow of auxiliary make-up air at the auxiliary flow rate which is substantially equivalent to the target make-up air flow rate minus the primary flow rate.

  • Patent number: 10247429
    Abstract: A packaged terminal air conditioner unit (PTAC) and methods for operating the same are provided. The PTAC includes an auxiliary fan configured for urging a flow of make-up air from the outdoor portion into the indoor portion through a vent aperture defined by a bulkhead. A vent door is positioned proximate the vent aperture and is operatively coupled with a reed switch assembly. A controller is configured for stopping the operation of the auxiliary fan when the reed switch assembly detects that the vent door is in the closed position.
