Publication number: 20240093927Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for a method for controlling the temperature of a surface. In some embodiments, the method includes applying a variable input to a heat pump (e.g., a Peltier) in thermal communication with the surface. The variable input may vary about a voltage and may include a powered period and an unpowered period. In some embodiments, the method includes measuring a temperature of an element in thermal communication with the surface, determining, based on the temperature of the element, whether a temperature of the surface is within a safe temperature range for a user in thermal communication with the surface, in response to determining the surface is not within the safe temperature range, adjusting the voltage of the variable input to the heat pump, and in response to determining the surface is within the safe temperature range, continuing operation of the variable input at the voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Tylan A. TSCHOPP, Lauren Lynch CLAYTON, Ashok Samuel BASKAR, Christopher Lee GARBUTT, Zara Elizabeth JONES, Yen Lim Lee, Jianquan Li, Liangxiong Huang, Yunfei Zhong, Yamin Jiang

Patent number: 11922004Abstract: Reduced-size user interfaces for providing weather information are disclosed. At an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, indications of a location and a temperature at the location may be displayed. In some examples, a user may provide input through a touch on the touch-sensitive display and/or through a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism to display additional weather information, such as weather information for another location, another temperature, another time, and so forth. In some examples, the device may obtain data representing an upcoming activity, determine whether the activity is to begin within a threshold amount of time, and display weather information based on the upcoming activity. In some examples, the device may display an affordance at a position to indicate the time of day for which a weather condition is provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Lawrence Y.

Publication number: 20220324650Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for sorting or retrieving items to/from a plurality of destinations areas. The items are loaded onto one of a plurality of independently controlled delivery vehicles. The delivery vehicles follow a path to/from the destination areas that are positioned along the path. Along the path, the vehicles are scanned to determine if any item on the vehicles extends beyond a dimensional constraint. If it is determined that an item on a vehicle extends above the pre-determined threshold, the vehicle is controlled, such as by stopping or re-directing the vehicle. Once at the appropriate destination area, an item is transferred between the delivery vehicle and the destination area.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2022Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Christopher Lynch, Alexander Stevens, Robert R.

Publication number: 20220182755Abstract: Systems and methods herein provide directed sound to venues, including a queue line and locations offering multiple viewing devices with different audio streams. Directed sound can be sent to various locations in the queue line to reach specific individuals, positions in the queue line, etc. A queue rate may be used to determine current locations in the queue line. The directed transmission of sound waves can provide the directed sound through modulation of the sound on an ultrasonic carrier. In connection with directing sound to a specific location in a venue, one or more individuals can be tracked according to an indoor positioning system to send a sound message using a modulated ultrasonic carrier.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2021Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Joseph Frank Scalisi, Tyler James Gilbreth, Steven Christopher Lynch, Adrian Simon Lanch
