  • Publication number: 20240304748
    Abstract: A micro-transfer-printable component source structure includes a source wafer comprising an anchor portion, a sacrificial portion disposed on only a portion of the source wafer adjacent to the anchor portion, a component disposed directly and exclusively over the sacrificial portion, and a vertical tether physically connecting the component to the source wafer. The vertical tether extends from the component along a side of the sacrificial portion to the anchor portion and includes a vertical portion that extends in a direction at least partially orthogonal to a surface of the source wafer. The vertical portion can be between the component and the source wafer or adjacent to the component. Components with vertical tethers require less area on the source wafer and can be micro-transfer printed to a target substrate in closer alignment.

  • Publication number: 20240295458
    Abstract: An edge device receives sensor data from a sensor affixed to a moveable gate. The edge device determines the positional state of the moveable gate based on the sensor data by inputting the received data into a machine learning model or by comparing the sensor data to values associated with a positional state through a calibration process. The edge device stores a log that associates the positional state and sensor data. The edge device determines the health state of the moveable gate using a machine learning model that is trained to predict, based on input of a new log, the health state of the gate. Responsive to determining that the health state of the gate is unhealthy, the edge device triggers a remedial action.

  • Patent number: 12063126
    Abstract: A building system of a building including one or more memory devices having instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a request to access a portion of a building graph of the building from a system, the building graph including a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges, the plurality of nodes representing entities of the building and the plurality of edges representing relationships between the entities of the building. The instructions cause one or more processors to determine whether the system has access to the portion of the building graph based on a policy indicated by the plurality of nodes and edges of the building graph and provide the portion of the building graph to the system in response to a determination that the system has access to the portion of the building graph.

  • Patent number: 12055907
    Abstract: A building system includes one or more memory devices comprising instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform one or more first operations based on a digital twin of a building. The instructions cause the one or more processors to update a schema of the digital twin by adding a property or tag to an entity class of the schema, add, based on the schema, one or more data elements representing the property or tag to the digital twin, the one or more data elements related to an entity of the entity class, and perform one or more second operations based on the one or more data elements representing the property or tag.

  • Patent number: 12053092
    Abstract: A foundation for a mattress is formed from one or more single-layer, unitary foam blocks with supports that extend across each foam block's bottom side. The supports provide lateral or longitudinal crosswise support across a bed frame and can be directly attached to the foam block or may be provided in a kit or separately sourced. Legs can be attached to the crosswise supports. The foam block is rigid enough to support a mattress and is compressible so it has a compressed configuration and an expanded configuration, and its bottom side may have channels for the supports. In the compressed configuration, the foundation may be folded and vacuum-sealed in a plastic membrane which provides benefits for storing, shipping, and delivering the foundation. When the foundation is delivered to its place of use, the compressed foundation is removed from its packaging, allowing the foam block to return to its expanded configuration.

  • Publication number: 20240229783
    Abstract: A balanced pump-axial piston pump for a hydraulic tool is provided. The balanced pump-axial piston pump includes a camshaft, cam followers, a lift block, a spring, a pump piston, a piston chamber, and a manifold. Rotation of the camshaft drives radial movement of the cam followers at the same time. The radial movement of the cam followers make the lift block move linearly along the axis of the hydraulic tool. The spring pushes the piston against the lift block so that the piston is kept in contact with the lift block. The linear movement of the lift block moves the piston linearly in the piston chamber, thereby pumping oil and providing hydraulic power.
