  • Patent number: 12067302
    Abstract: Spot aware print workflow techniques and system are described. In an implementation, a digital document is received for printing that includes a plurality of objects. Spot functionality is detected as corresponding to a respective object based on object properties detected for the respective object. One or more spot planes for are generated based on the spot functionality and a determination is made of color values for the one or more spot planes, respectively, based on context data describing a context, in which, the one or more spot planes are to be printed. The spot planes having the color values are output for printing by a print mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20240183561
    Abstract: An energy efficient heat pump for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a compressor system configured to direct a working fluid flow along a working fluid circuit of the energy efficient heat pump. The compressor system includes a first compressor configured to direct the working fluid flow in a first direction along the working fluid circuit and a second compressor configured to direct the working fluid flow in a second direction along the working fluid circuit, opposite the first direction. The energy efficient heat pump also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the first compressor and the second compressor, where the controller is configured to operate the first compressor and suspend operation of the second compressor in a cooling mode of the energy efficient heat pump and to operate the second compressor and suspend operation of the first compressor in a heating mode of the energy efficient heat pump.

  • Patent number: 11991507
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: capturing, using at least one camera sensor coupled to an information handling device, an image of a location; identifying, based upon analysis of the captured image, at least one user position in the location; determining, using a processor, whether a beamforming setting for a microphone array is optimized for the at least one user position; and adjusting, responsive to determining that the beamforming setting for the microphone array is not optimized for the at least one user position, the beamforming setting to an optimized beamforming setting. Other aspects are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20230332553
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine is operated at fuel-rich conditions by adjusting one or more operating parameters such as, for example, a throttle, an ignition timing, a load coupled to the engine, a fuel pressure, power to a supercharger, and power to a preheater to maintain a specified engine speed and a temperature of an exhaust gas. Operating the engine under these conditions allows the engine to function as a reformer producing a synthesis gas comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
