Patent number: 11959683Abstract: A modulating refrigeration system includes an evaporation unit and a condensing unit. The evaporation unit generates a first output airflow comprising a lower temperature, a lower relative humidity, or both than a first supply airflow and directs the first output airflow into a building. The condensing unit generates a second output airflow at a higher temperature than a second supply airflow and discharges the second output airflow to an unconditioned space. The evaporation unit comprises a first valve operable to direct a portion of refrigerant to a secondary evaporator and primary evaporator or to direct the entire flow of refrigerant to the primary evaporator and bypassing the secondary evaporator.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: THERMA-STOR LLCInventors: Grant M. Lorang, Gustavo Daniel Olivera, Weizhong Yu, David Treleven, Todd R. DeMonte, Robert John Motiff, Timothy S. O'Brien

Patent number: 11859795Abstract: A surface maintenance machine includes a body, a surface maintenance tool coupled to the body, processing circuitry supported at the body, and a light projection mechanism supported at the body and coupled to the processing circuitry. The light projection mechanism includes a light housing, a light emitting element within the light housing, and a projection lens that is configured to focus light emanating from the light emitting element. The light projection mechanism is configured to project light onto a ceiling surface that is above a floor surface along which the surface maintenance machine is configured to perform a surface maintenance task using the surface maintenance tool.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: TENNANT COMPANYInventors: Grant Daniel Leacox, Richard Alan Loveless

Publication number: 20230316891Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a system for detecting when an individual performs a prohibited action during a cleaning event. A wearable computing device that is worn by an individual performing cleaning in an environment detects movement associated with the wearable device during a cleaning event. One or more processors determines, based at least in part on the movement associated with the wearable computing device detected during the cleaning event, whether the individual has performed a prohibited action during the cleaning event. Responsive to determining that the individual performed the prohibited action during the cleaning event, the one or more processors may perform an operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Grant Daniel Lindh, Albert Goldfain, Janice Alina Frias, Helen Gates, Alex Robert Pederson, Christopher Moen Flynn

Publication number: 20230153845Abstract: A computer implemented method of generating a custom signal from a data library containing multiple datasets of variable values correlated with time and geography includes receiving a user defined target variable, a time parameter, and a geography parameter, determining the applicable datasets from the data library overlapping the user-defined time parameter or geography parameter, testing the control variables of the applicable datasets for statistical significance to the target variable, aggregating a custom signal of at least three control variables having the greatest statistical significance to the target variable. The method includes generating a forecasting model by determining an internal feature analysis, determining an optimal external feature analysis, and selecting an optimal feature set based on a statistical strength of the internal feature analysis and the optimal external feature analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Jason Edward Harper, Baylen Garrett Springer, Jonathan Paul Prantner, Grant Daniel Miller, Dakota Crisp
