  • Publication number: 20240013452
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating electronic renderings using feature layers. A set of sample electronic renderings can be generated for a virtual space based on feature data (e.g., including a set of features of the virtual space). Rendering data can be determined based on the set of sample electronic renderings, wherein the rendering data includes a set of feature layers, and wherein each feature layer is associated with at least one feature of the set of features. A rendering request can be received, the rendering request including a subset of features and associated feature parameters selected from the set of features as selected feature data, and an electronic rendering can be generated of the virtual space based on the selected feature data and one or more of the feature layers.

  • Patent number: 9718069
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a non-aerosol foam pump for use in association with an unpressurized liquid container and a foaming element comprising. The pump includes a liquid pump portion and an air pump portion. The liquid pump portion has a liquid chamber with a liquid internal volume and a shuttle liquid piston. The liquid chamber is in flow communication with the unpressurized liquid container and in flow communication with the foaming element. The air pump portion has an air chamber with an air internal volume. The air chamber is in flow communication with the foaming element. The liquid pump portion and the air pump portion have an activation stroke and a return stroke. During the activation stroke the air internal volume is reduced and during a beginning stage of the stroke the liquid internal volume remains the same and during a later stage the liquid internal volume is reduced.

  • Patent number: 9483050
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for outsourcing processing operations between a mobile computing device and a self-propelled device. The self-propelled device may be in operative control by the mobile computing device via a communication connection. Due to latency in the communication connection, the mobile computing device may compile a computer code package for transmission to the self-propelled device. Execution of the computer code package by the self-propelled device may offset operations otherwise performed by the mobile computing device.

  • Patent number: 9073066
    Abstract: A foam assembly connectable to a liquid container includes a main pump body, a resiliently deformable piston dome, an air chamber, a liquid chamber, a mixing zone and a porous member. The main pump body has an exit nozzle with the porous member therein. The air chamber and the liquid chamber are each defined by the piston dome and the main pump body. The liquid chamber has a liquid inlet valve and a liquid outlet valve. The mixing zone is in flow communication with the air chamber and the liquid chamber. The volume of the air chamber and the liquid chamber are each dependent on the position of piston dome and during an activation stroke the piston moves from the at rest position to the depressed position and responsively the volume of the air chamber and the volume of the liquid chamber are reduced.
