  • Publication number: 20250041155
    Abstract: A facial basin assembly includes a basin with a convex top side and a concave bottom side. The assembly features a mouthpiece to facilitate user breathing while their face is submerged in liquid. The mouthpiece is connected to a coupling device via one or more air flow conduits. This coupling device is designed to be removably inserted through a ledge of the basin and is adapted to direct the user's exhalation toward the bottom of the basin. The basin comprises a base portion and a curved portion, the latter allowing exhaled breath to escape into the environment.

  • Patent number: 12139790
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to a processing system and a method of delivering a reactant gas. The processing system includes a substrate support system, an injection cone, and an intake. The injection cone includes a linear rudder. The linear rudder is disposed such that the flow of reactant gas through the injection cone results in film growth on a specific portion of a substrate. The method includes flowing the gas through the injection cone and delivering the gas onto the substrate below. The localization of the reactant gas, allows for film growth on a specific portion of the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20240267686
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor and a memory operably coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions to cause the processor to receive a call request via an intercom operably coupled to the processor and further receive at least one of (1) badge event data via an access control device operably coupled to the processor, or (2) video data via a camera operably coupled to the processor, the intercom, the access control device, and the camera being co-located at an ingress location. Additionally, the instructions cause the processor to cause display, via a graphical user interface operably coupled to the processor, of a depiction of a modified call routing sequence that is generated based on a predefined call routing sequence and the at least one of the badge event data or the video data.

  • Patent number: 10707960
    Abstract: A retail merchandising system includes a plurality of gondolas positioned in a retail space, a plurality of visible light communication (VLC) sources positioned in the retail space, and at least one VLC sensor disposed at a fixed location relative to each of the plurality of gondolas. The plurality of VLC sources and the at least one VLC sensor are configured to cooperatively identify a location of the gondolas in the retail space. With pre-stored planograms and the locations of the store gondolas, product locations can be readily determined. Additionally, the system can determine customer locations and communicate with customers and/or track customer activity.

  • Patent number: 10518903
    Abstract: An aerial vehicle launcher including a rail having a first end and a longitudinal axis and a piston movable in a passageway formed in the rail, the piston connected to a carriage by at least two elongate flexible members. The carriage having a support device for releasably engaging the aerial vehicle. Upon the carriage and the aerial vehicle approaching one end of the rail, the support device controllably disengaging the aerial vehicle, permitting the aerial vehicle to be launched. A device is connected to a pressurized gas source, the device controllably providing pressurized gas from the pressurized gas source to the passageway for drivingly moving the piston, the carriage, and aerial vehicle along the rail for launching the aerial vehicle. The device includes a reservoir for holding pressurized gas, the reservoir being a conduit, the pressurized gas in the reservoir providing the driving force for launching the aerial vehicle.
