Publication number: 20250003596Abstract: A system for igniting a grill can include a solenoid valve, a flame rectification sensor, an igniter, and a control circuit connected to the solenoid valve and the flame rectification sensor. The solenoid valve controls flow of gas to the grill's burner and includes a switch that closes when a handle connected to the switch opens the solenoid valve. The control circuit sends current to the solenoid valve when the switch is closed to hold the solenoid valve open. After the switch closes, the igniter is ignited. After ignition, the control circuit monitors the presence of a flame with a flame rectification sensor. If no flame is detected after a certain amount of time, the control circuit stops sending current to the solenoid valve to close the solenoid valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2024Publication date: January 2, 2025Inventors: John T.

Publication number: 20250002033Abstract: A vehicle dash cam may be configured to execute one or more neural networks (and/or other artificial intelligence), such as based on input from one or more of the cameras and/or other sensors associated with the dash cam, to intelligently detect safety events in real-time. Detection of a safety event may trigger an in-cab alert to make the driver aware of the safety risk. The dash cam may include logic for determining which asset data to transmit to a backend server in response to detection of a safety event, as well as which asset data to transmit to the backend server in response to analysis of sensor data that did not trigger a safety event. The asset data transmitted to the backend server may be further analyzed to determine if further alerts should be provided to the driver and/or to a safety manager.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2024Publication date: January 2, 2025Inventors: Mathew Chasan Calmer, Justin Delegard, Justin Pan, Sabrina Shemet, Meelap Shah, Kavya Joshi, Brian Tuan, Sharan Srinivasan, Muhammad Ali Akhtar, John Charles Bicket, Margaret Finch, Vincent Shieh, Bruce Kellerman, Mitch Lin, Marvin Arroz, Siddhartha Datta Roy, Jason Symons, Tina Quach, Cassandra Lee Rommel, Saumya Jain

Patent number: 12178191Abstract: Disclosed is a mounting base (300) for attaching a portable electronic device (402) to a collar apparatus (400). Mounting base (300) includes a frame (102) and a latch (200). Latch (200) is moveable between a latched position and an unlatched position. Latch (200) includes an actuator (206) with a button (208) that may be depressed by a user to manually move latch (200) between the latched and unlatched positions. A portable electronic device (402) includes an insertion portion (410) that is received in a receiving aperture (108) in the frame (102). Once the insertion portion (410) is inserted, the device (402) may be rotated manually to engage latch (200). During rotation, a lock stub (216) on latch (200) engages a corresponding feature on insertion portion (410), thereby preventing counter-rotation of device (402). Additionally, one or more tabs (120) on frame (102) interfere with corresponding structure on insertion portion (410) to secure device (402) onto mounting base (300).Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2019Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: Mars, IncorporatedInventors: Robert W.

Patent number: 12183466Abstract: A method and system addresses the circumstance where a lack of confidence in the impairment rating has arrested the impairment rating process and additional data collection is no longer possible. One or more incomplete data sets are compared to and corrected with a high accuracy database containing reviewed historical impairment data. An analysis of the data outputs a temporary impairment rating and a recovery score index, which yields a corrected and substantially accurate impairment rating report which can be used within the managed impairment repair process as the worker's compensation claim moves toward claim closure.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2019Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: Alchemy Logic Systems Inc.Inventors: John William Alchemy, Bruce Brandon Wilson, Jerry Lee Artz

Publication number: 20240427156Abstract: Devices and methods for dynamic power configuration (e.g., reduction) for thermal management (e.g., mitigation) in a wearable electronic device such as an eyewear device. The wearable electronic device monitors its temperature and, responsive to the temperature, configures the services it provides to operate in different modes for thermal mitigation (e.g., to prevent overheating). For example, based on temperature, the wearable electronic device adjusts sensors (e.g., turns cameras on or off, changes the sampling rate, or a combination thereof) and adjusts display components (e.g., adjusted rate at which a graphical processing unit generates images and a visual display is updated). This enables the wearable electronic device to consume less power when temperatures are too high in order to provide thermal mitigation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2024Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Sumant Hanumante, Bernhard Jung, Matthias Kalkgruber, Anton Kondratenko, Edward Lee Kim-Koon, Gerald Nilles, John James Robertson, Dmitry Ryuma, Alexander Sourov, Daniel Wolf
