Patent number: 12650033Abstract: A window combination latch (140) includes a sash lock (142) and tilt a latch assembly (230). The sash lock (142) installs on a top rail of a window sash (110) and includes a cam (214) that rotatably couples with a keeper (144) to lock the window sash (110). The cam (214) includes a slot (320). The latch assembly (230) when installed has a tip (422) of a latch bolt (232) adjacent to a surface of a stile (112) of the window sash (110) and a head (412) of the latch bolt (232) engaged in the slot (320). The latch bolt (232) may be a one-piece structure that may include a flexible extension (414).Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2022Date of Patent: June 9, 2026Assignee: Roto Frank of America, Inc.Inventors: Suban Ariaratnam, Christopher Griffin, Robert Christie, Jason Sorrentino

Publication number: 20240231596Abstract: A plurality of video items comprising a first subset of video items and a second subset of video items are received at a client device. A graphical user interface comprising a scrollable area displaying the first subset of video items and a focus area displaying one of the plurality of video items is presented. Preview of video items of the second subset of video items is provided in or adjacent to the focus area in the GUI on the client device prior to receiving a scrolling request of a user of the client device to cause the second subset of video items to become visible in the first scrollable area.

Patent number: 11578238Abstract: Materials and methods for mitigating passive intermodulation. A membrane for reducing passive intermodulation includes a first polymeric layer, a second polymeric layer, and a continuous metal layer encapsulated between the first and second polymeric layers. A self-adhesive radio frequency barrier tape includes a waterproof polymeric top layer, a metal-containing layer adhered by an adhesive layer to the polymeric top layer, a pressure sensitive adhesive layer adhered to the metal-containing layer, and a release liner on a bottom surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer. A method of mitigating passive intermodulation includes passing a probe over an area of interest, the probe being sensitive to an intermodulation frequency of interest, and identifying a suspected source of passive intermodulation when the amplitude of the probe output exceeds a threshold at the frequency of interest.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2021Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Johns ManvilleInventors: Thomas Bell, Christopher Griffin, Jacob Heaps, Joel Hazy
