Abstract: An HVAC system is provided. Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to an HVAC system in which multiple indoor units are coupled to central outdoor unit, where at least one of the indoor units is configured to provide conditioned air through ductwork and at least one indoor unit is configured to provide conditioned air without ductwork. Moreover, a gas furnace can be provided in the system, for harsher environments that benefit from more robust heating. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosure herein provides for adjusting motion parameter parameters and thresholds for VR locomotion. The system receives a first input from a VR interface. The first input comprises a first motion parameter. The system then determines whether the first motion parameter exceeds a motion parameter threshold. If the first motion parameter exceeds the motion parameter threshold, then the system determines an adjusted motion parameter. The system then configures the adjusted motion parameter to be applied to the first motion parameter.

Abstract: A method of erecting a multi-storey structure is disclosed. During construction, at least a portion of a perimeter facade of the structure is disposed to extend at least two storeys height beyond an upper work area of the structure and forms at least part of a safety barrier for that work area and wherein in erecting the multi-story structure, at least one further floor of the structure is erected over the upper work area. The further floor forming a respective subsequent upper work area of the structure, and wherein at least a portion of the facade is disposed to extend at least one storey height beyond the uppermost of the subsequent work areas.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides water-based well treatment fluids methods of using such fluids in treating subterranean formations to prevent swelling and/or migration of fines. The water-based well treatment fluid contains an aqueous continuous phase and a clay stabilizing agent comprising less than 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the clay stabilizing agent, of an unhindered primary amine and a second amine selected from an alkanolamine, a polyalkylene polyamine, a compound having a formula R4—(CH2)d—NH2 where R4 is a piperazino group or a morpholino group and d is an integer from 0 to 10, a compound having the formula where his an integer from about 2 to about 7 and a mixture thereof.
