  • Publication number: 20240358080
    Abstract: Cartridges for vaporizer devices are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, the cartridge can include a primary reservoir, a secondary reservoir in fluid communication with the primary reservoir, and a vaporization chamber in communication with the secondary reservoir in which the vaporization chamber includes a first wicking element. The primary reservoir is configured to store a majority fraction of vaporizable material when in a first pressure state and configured to expel the vaporizable material in response to an increase in headspace when in a second pressure state. The secondary reservoir is formed of absorbent material configured to receive a first volume of the vaporizable material from the primary reservoir in the first pressure state and to receive a second volume of the vaporizable material from the primary reservoir in the second pressure state in which the second volume is greater than the first volume. Vaporizer devices are also provided.

  • Patent number: 12111628
    Abstract: An adaptive hydraulic control system controls irrigation system zones using predicted valve behavior, measured pressure, recovery time, and measured flow. A pressure sensor can measure a pressure in a water line and a flow meter can measure a flow rate in the water line. The adaptive hydraulic control system monitors the pressure and the flow rate, and determines when the pressure and the flow rate are above and below target operational thresholds. When the pressure is determined to be below a minimum target threshold or the flow rate is determined to be above a maximum target threshold, the adaptive hydraulic control system identifies one or more valves in an opened position of the plurality of valves that when closed would cause the pressure and the flow rate to return within the target operational thresholds. The adaptive hydraulic control system provides instructions to change a position of the one or more identified valves.

  • Patent number: 12082618
    Abstract: Cartridges for vaporizer devices are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a cartridge can include a reservoir housing that includes a reservoir chamber configured to contain a vaporizable material and first and second orifices each in fluid communication with the reservoir chamber. The first orifice is configured to allow at least a portion of the vaporizable material to be withdrawn from the reservoir chamber in response to generation of a first pressure differential across the first orifice that exceeds a first predetermined threshold pressure differential. The second orifice is configured to allow a portion of ambient air that is outside the reservoir housing to enter the reservoir chamber in response to generation of a second pressure differential across the second orifice that exceeds a second predetermined threshold pressure differential during the withdrawal of the vaporizable material from the reservoir chamber. Vaporizer devices and methods are also provided.

  • Patent number: 12079238
    Abstract: A storytelling interface comprising a map panel and a genealogy panel, and methods for using the same, are described. The storytelling interface facilitates dynamic and automatic scaling and relocation of the map panel based on a user's location within the genealogy panel, which facilitates a continuous scrolling operation to navigate between different sections of the genealogy panel. The storytelling interface facilitates a user receiving, viewing, and interacting with DNA and ethnic communities results determined from DNA testing, and allows a user to navigate through pertinent communities in both time and/or space.

  • Patent number: 11499516
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for selectively inhibiting a stop-start controller of a vehicle based on a predicted anxiety of a driver of the vehicle on a road segment that includes one or more road attributes associated with increased levels of anxiety. In one example, selectively inhibiting a stop-start controller of a vehicle based on a predicted anxiety of a driver of the vehicle includes determining a driver classification for a driver operating the vehicle; predicting an anxiety level of the driver at an upcoming traffic condition, based on the driver classification; and selectively inhibiting an upcoming engine idle-stop event based on the predicted anxiety level of the driver.

  • Publication number: 20220153283
    Abstract: Vehicle environment data about operation of a plurality of vehicles and vehicle component data for a vehicle component is input into a machine learning program to obtain a transfer function that correlates vehicle environment data to vehicle component data within a specified range of vehicle component parameters. A first event is identified by determining that a datum in the vehicle component data is outside the specified range. A predictive damage model of a vehicle component is updated based on the first event. A virtual parameter of a component model is adjusted based on output from the predictive damage model.
