Patent number: 12291799Abstract: Systems for producing M yarns, wherein M?1, include N extruders, M spin stations, and a processor, wherein N>1. Each extruder includes a thermoplastic polymer having a color, hue, and/or dyability characteristic, which are different from each other. Each spin station produces one yarn comprising at least one bundle of filaments. Each spin station comprises at least one spinneret through which filaments are spun from at least two molten thermoplastic polymer streams received by the respective spin station and N spin pumps upstream of the spinneret for the respective spin station. Each spin pump is paired with one of the N extruders. The processor is in electrical communication with the N*M spin pumps and is configured to adjust the volumetric flow rate of the polymers pumped from each spin pump to achieve a ratio of the polymers to be included in each M yarn.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2021Date of Patent: May 6, 2025Assignee: Aladdin Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Anthony Cascio, James Mason, Daniel Amos, Lucinda Jones

Patent number: 12285654Abstract: A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to interact with a user of an exercise device during an exercise session. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive data as input, and based on the data, providing an output. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the data from an input peripheral of a computing device associated with the user. Based on the data being received from the input peripheral, the method includes determining, via the machine learning model, the output to control an aspect of the exercise device.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2023Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: ROM Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael Bissonnette, Luis Berga, Steven Mason, Philip Powers, James D.

Publication number: 20250129644Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes a base defining a cavity; a lid coupled to the base; a latch; and a resilient member. The lid is pivotable between a first state in which the cavity is enclosed and a second state in which the cavity is exposed. The latch includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. Each of the second and third portions interact with the base when the lid is in the first position so as to discourage the lid from transitioning to the second state. The resilient member is disposed between the latch and the lid such that moving the first portion of the latch so as to compress the resilient member moves each of the second and third portions of the latch away from the base.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2024Publication date: April 24, 2025Inventors: William Banta, Spencer Robert Dahl, Samuel Quintrell.

Publication number: 20250119307Abstract: A service accesses an electronic file, which is associated with metadata. As a part of a repository transaction, the metadata is stored in a repository. The service triggers generation of an authentication hash on the electronic file and also triggers generation of a transaction hash on at least the repository transaction. The service then causes both the authentication hash and the transaction hash to be stored in a blockchain while refraining from causing the electronic file and the repository transaction from being stored in the blockchain.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2024Publication date: April 10, 2025Inventors: James Hamilton MADSEN, Nathaniel Mason MILLS, Kenneth David FULTZ, Salvatore Joseph GIANI

Publication number: 20250099816Abstract: A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to perform a control action. The control action is based on one or more measurements from a wearable device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive the one or more measurements as input, and outputting, based on the one or more measurements, a control instruction that causes the control action to be performed. The method includes receiving the one or more measurements from the wearable device being worn by a user, determining whether the one or more measurements indicate, during an interval training session, that one or more characteristics of the user are within a desired target zone, and responsive to determining that the one or more measurements indicate the one or more characteristics of the user are not within the desired target zone during the interval training session, performing the control action.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Applicant: ROM Technologies Inc.Inventors: Michael Bissonnette, Luis Berga, Steven Mason, Philip Powers, James D.
