Patent number: 12060205Abstract: The present disclosure provides a splash guard to minimize potential contact between the chemical product and a vent membrane during transport and/or transfer of containers, thereby resulting in preservation of the integrity of a vent membrane during transport and/or transfer of a chemical product. The splash guard is affixed to the fitment and so can be removed from the interior of the container prior to transfer of the chemical product out of the container. The splash guard may be used with fitments of varied shapes, sizes and/or structures, and with containers of varied shapes, sizes and/or structures. The splash guard is easy and inexpensive to manufacture and easy to install, e.g., by snapping onto a ring (lower perimeter) of a fitment. For example, the splash guard covers the entire circumference of the neck of a container, and is formed of a moldable material that provides rigidity.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: August 13, 2024Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Matthew Darold Lausted, Joseph Steven Bons, Andrew Richard Sarnstrom, Lisa Anne Kreye, Karl Alan Heinbuch

Publication number: 20230368144Abstract: An example method to facilitate online collaboration includes granting access to an editable collaboration space to multiple users. The method also includes dividing the users into subgroups including at least a first subgroup and a second subgroup. In addition, the method includes assigning the subgroups to different virtual breakout rooms in the editable collaboration space, including assigning users in the first subgroup to a first virtual breakout room and assigning users in the second subgroup to a second virtual breakout room that is different than the first virtual breakout room. Further, the method includes populating each virtual breakout room with common initial content obtained from a virtual common room, the common initial content being the same in each virtual breakout room.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: Ryan J. Stringham, Jarom Yan-Ming Chung, Taylor Jessica Halversen, Karl Steven Baranov, Lindsey Whitefield Martin, Geoffrey Ryan Maddox, Sean P.

Publication number: 20230085169Abstract: An example method to cluster graphical objects in a collaboration space includes displaying graphical objects in a collaboration space, each of the graphical objects including text. The method includes receiving first input to select one or more of the graphical objects. The method includes receiving second input to cluster the selected one or more graphical objects according to intent, theme, or commonalities of the text of the selected graphical objects. The method includes determining one or more intents, themes, or commonalities of the text of the selected one or more graphical objects. The method includes, in response to the second input, clustering the selected one or more graphical objects according to the one or more determined intents, themes, or commonalities of the text of the selected one or more graphical objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Ryan J.

Publication number: 20220108276Abstract: An example method to facilitate online collaboration includes granting access to a collaboration space to multiple client devices, each associated with a corresponding one of multiple users, the multiple users including a first user and a second user. The method includes receiving input from the first user to create a first set of graphical objects in the collaboration space. The method includes receiving input from the second user to create a second set of graphical objects in the collaboration space. The method includes applying different visual attributes to graphical objects authored by different users to visually identify an author or creator of each graphical object such that all graphical objects of the first set of graphical objects have a first visual attribute and all graphical objects of the second set of graphical objects have a second visual attribute that is different than the first visual attribute.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2021Publication date: April 7, 2022Inventors: Ryan J.
