  • Publication number: 20250246060
    Abstract: A vehicle operates as a hub for locating and filtering water. The vehicle receives filter information over a local network connection between the vehicle and a water filter. The vehicle sends the filter information over a wide-area network from the vehicle to a cloud server. A human machine interface (HMI) remote from the filter displays filter details based on the filter information that explain aspects of the operation of the filter.

  • Patent number: 12357514
    Abstract: An absorbent article is disclosed. The article includes a topsheet formed of a section of formed nonwoven web material having an ordered arrangement of zones, each zone comprising one or more attenuated regions adjacent to one or more built-up regions, wherein the attenuated regions have a first average basis weight and the built-up regions have a second average basis weight, wherein the first average basis weight is less than the second average basis weight, the difference in basis weights corresponding to disposition of the filaments according to the ordered arrangement. The attenuated region(s) may be included within a configuration of one or more channel portions on the topsheet. Alternatively or in combination, the attenuated region(s) may be included within a hinge portion extending along a wing portion of the topsheet.

  • Publication number: 20250220112
    Abstract: A Captioned Telephone Service (“CTS”) system, equipped with a CTS application, offers several user interfaces. These interfaces are designed to set the primary and secondary languages of the user, as well as the caption language of a contact. This configuration ensures that the caption language of a phone call matches the caption language assigned to the contact if the call is made with that contact. Additionally, if the caption language during a phone call is found to be incorrect, the system allows for a swift change to another language. This could be either the primary or secondary language of the user, or a completely different language, as required during the call.

  • Publication number: 20250207365
    Abstract: A system for preventing misuse of an object detection system of a work machine may include an output device and a controller communicatively coupled to the output device. The output device is configured to display a notification indicative of misuse of the object detection system. The controller includes a processing circuit comprising memory communicably coupled to one or more processors. The memory includes instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the processing circuit to: detect a collision mitigation event of the work machine; classify the collision mitigation event as a misuse event; determine a misuse value associated with a work machine operation based on the misuse event; compare the misuse value with a misuse threshold; and, when the misuse value exceeds the misuse threshold, provide the notification indicative of misuse of the object detection system to the output device.
