  • Patent number: 12562240
    Abstract: Systems and methods classify pollutants based on multifactor analysis of data from sensors in a monitored area and contextual data from remote or local sources. Classifying a pollutant in air at a monitored area may include operating a particulate matter sensor to produce raw data representing measurements of particulate matter in the air, evaluating pulses in the raw data to determine a pulse width and a maximum for each pulse, and identifying a type for the pollutant in the air using a classification model and data including the pulse widths and the maxima of the pulses. The data use in classification may further include non-particulate measurements from local chemical or environmental sensors and contextual data from the cloud or from local user devices.

  • Patent number: 11775138
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing an email assistant options bar. An assistant engine of an email application can identify contacts of a user profile that the user interacts with the most frequently based on a set of rules. When a user interacts with an email in the email application using a predetermined input type, the assistant engine can display the email assistant options bar. The email assistant options bar can include icons representing the identified contacts that the user interacts with the most frequently and a set of actions that can be performed to interact with the contacts. Some examples of actions can include forwarding the selected email, calling a contact, and setting up a meeting. The user can select one or more of the contacts and one of the actions. The assistant engine can perform the selected action with the selected contact as the recipient.

  • Publication number: 20220176006
    Abstract: Air purification systems and methods use a flat, wall-mounted enclosure containing a photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) system to remove airborne contaminants. The horizontal width and vertical height of the PCO system being large compared to its thickness to maximize catalytic surface area and efficiently use light to drive reactions. PCO performance may be further optimized through contouring a catalytic panel to increase surface area. The structure and does not require floor or counter space, and a visible face of the wall-mounted structure may have an aesthetic feature.

  • Patent number: 9828858
    Abstract: A turbine blade airfoil (25, 31R, 31M, 31T, 72) comprising an outer surface shape defined by Cartesian coordinates of successive transverse profiles at radial increments as set forth in Tables 1a to 1k, wherein each table defines a transverse sectional profile characterized by a smooth curve connecting the coordinates, and the surface shape comprises a smooth surface connecting the sectional profiles. The blade may include a tip shroud with edge profiles defined by Cartesian coordinates set forth in Table 2a and 2b. A gusset/fillet may be provided between the blade airfoil and the tip shroud, with a planar diagonal surface over most of a diagonal bracing area of the gusset/fillet.

  • Patent number: 8864457
    Abstract: A turbine airfoil assembly for installation in a gas turbine engine. The airfoil assembly includes an endwall and an airfoil extending radially outwardly from the endwall. The airfoil includes pressure and suction sidewalls defining chordally spaced apart leading and trailing edges of the airfoil. An airfoil mean line is defined located centrally between the pressure and suction sidewalls. An angle between the mean line and a line parallel to the engine axis at the leading and trailing edges defines gas flow entry angles, ?, and exit angles, ?. Airfoil inlet and exit angles are substantially in accordance with pairs of inlet angle values, ?, and exit angle values, ?, set forth in one of Tables 1, 3, 5 and 7.
