Publication number: 20250123157Abstract: A temperature sensor has a heat-sensitive element contained within a chamber, the heat-sensitive element changing from a first configuration to a second configuration at a predetermined temperature, and a biased member biased towards the chamber. The biased member initially is prevented from entering the chamber when the heat-sensitive element is in the first configuration and enters the chamber when the heat-sensitive element is in the second configuration. In some aspects, the first configuration is solid and the second configuration is liquid and a selectively permeable element is provided to allow the heat-sensitive element to exit the chamber in the liquid configuration. An indicator can be provided that has a plurality of feet initially held in a retained configuration by the biased member until the biased member enters the chamber to release the feet for sliding motion of the indicator.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2024Publication date: April 17, 2025Inventors: Thomas Jacob Zuiderveen, Jeremy Michael Van Horn, Justin George Pezzin, Yen-You Lin, Audrey Joy Corrine Siebert-Timmer, Elizabeth Sarah Smith Price, John Paul Chisholm

Publication number: 20250071156Abstract: Temporary access to a digital whiteboard is enabled for conference participants during a conference (e.g., a video conference). Based on a request to share a digital whiteboard with conference participants during a conference, ones of the conference participants to which to grant temporary access permissions for the digital whiteboard are determined. The temporary access permissions are granted to enable the ones of the conference participants to access the digital whiteboard during the conference. Based on an event occurrence, which may, for example, correspond to a termination of the conference or a disconnection of an owner of the digital whiteboard from the conference, the temporary access permissions are revoked to restrict further access to the digital whiteboard by the ones of the conference participants.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2024Publication date: February 27, 2025Inventors: Palmer Harold Batt, Alicia Anne-Kepner Brekke, Jianzhong Ding, Seokbin Kang, Stephen George Newton, Jeffrey William Smith, Jiabin Xiang

Publication number: 20250053405Abstract: A digital image representation may be created by a distributed platform system for a site based on each of the plurality of user-specific actions. The digital image representation may be created by determining a current state of the site from one or more application components of the site, computing a desired state for the site to reach from the current state at some point in time, and creating the digital image representation for the site using the computed desired state to be reached by the site at some point in time. The distributed platform system uses one or more digital models for creating the digital image representation for the site. The distributed platform system may be configured to update the site to reach the desired state based on the digital image representation of the site, at some point in time.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2023Publication date: February 13, 2025Inventors: Andre Jean Marie Surcouf, Trevor George Smith, Fabien Gérard Andrieux
