Abstract: A heat pump assembly may be securable to a tank of a water heater. The heat pump assembly may include a base pan, and inlet and outlet tubes including flanges. The base pan defines inlet and outlet openings each extending between upper and lower faces. The tubes extend through the openings, and are configured to secure the heat pump assembly to the tank by securing the base pan to an upper pan of the tank. A water heater may include a tank and the heat pump assembly secured to the upper pan of the tank by the tubes. A method for making a water heater may include introducing inlet and outlet tubes through openings in an upper pan of a tank. The method may further include introducing the tubes through openings in a base pan of a heat pump assembly to secure the heat pump assembly to the tank.

Abstract: A method for making labels comprising providing a plastic substrate layer and a paper substrate layer. The paper substrate layer comprises a printed display information sheet, wherein the printed display information sheet comprises a plurality of display information tags arranged in an array. The plastic substrate layer is coupled to each of the rows of display information tags within a first portion of the display information tags to form a composite substrate row. A first line of perforations is cut into a width of the composite substrate at one or more first spaced intervals, a length of the first spaced intervals being defined by a length of the display information tags. A second line of perforations is cut into a width of the composite substrate at one or more second spaced intervals, a length of the second spaced intervals being defined by a height of the display information tags.

Abstract: An embodiment may involve: generating, for display upon a graphical user interface, a workspace that includes a background arrangement and a virtual panel arrangement, wherein the virtual panel arrangement is embedded within the workspace and non-overlapping with the background arrangement; generating, for display within the background arrangement, representations of resources, wherein the resources include a window; generating, for display within the virtual panel arrangement, one or more tiled virtual panels, wherein the tiled virtual panels respectively contain further windows; and displaying, on the graphical user interface, the background arrangement and the virtual panel arrangement, wherein the window from the background arrangement is moveable to the one or more tiled virtual panels, and wherein the further windows from the one or more tiled virtual panels are movable to the background arrangement.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic and automated control of a heating appliance based on atmospheric pressure conditions are provided. Particularly, a controller of the heating appliance may be configured to automatically adjust the amount of gas and/or air provided to the combustion chamber of the heating appliance based on changes in atmospheric pressure in the environment of the heating appliance. Changes in atmospheric pressure may impact the combustion process within the heating appliance, which may lead to inefficiencies in the operation of the heating appliance if the rate at which gas and/or air is provided remain constant during pressure changes. To mitigate these impacts, a barometric pressure sensor may be used to measure the atmospheric pressure at any given time and may provide this data to the controller. The controller may then adjust the rate at which gas and/or air is provided within the heating appliance to reduce such inefficiencies.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a shroud structure. The shroud structure can include at least two distinct pieces. The shroud structure can include various recesses, apertures, and/or cavities each configured to at least partially receive one or more components of a heat pump system. The shroud structure can include an air inlet aperture in fluid communication with a cavity, which is configured to be in fluid communication with an evaporator of the heat pump system. On the opposite side of the evaporator, a fan outlet can be configured to be in fluid communication with the evaporator such that air can flow through the shroud structure.

Abstract: An apparatus for air dropping equipment and supplies from an aircraft is disclosed herein. The apparatus includes a canister having a rotor system configured to slow the descent at a predetermined altitude to a desired landing speed via auto-rotation and/or with motor assist. The rotor system is configured to prevent the container from spinning about its longitudinal axis during the descent.

Abstract: A method of applying labels to a store shelf in a retail environment. The method includes applying labels with adhesive strips applied to a bottom surface of each label and a top laminate layer with a release coating applied to the top surface of each label. The labels in the pad are sequenced according to a store's planogram.
