  • Patent number: 11856674
    Abstract: Systems and methods for content-based light illuminations are disclosed. For example, a user interface may be utilized to receive and/or determine a configuration of a light array associated with a connected device. The configuration may be utilized to generate a visual representation of the light array, which may be overlaid on a display window that is configured to display content to be utilized for generating light illumination sequences. Color changes associated with each light representation of the visual representation may be determined based at least in part on the positioning and area of the display window associated with the light representations, and corresponding illumination data may be generated and sent to the connected device.

  • Patent number: 10315356
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the additive manufacturing of three-dimensional objects are disclosed. Two or more materials are extruded simultaneously as a composite, with at least one material in liquid form and at least one material in a solid continuous strand completely encased within the liquid material. A means of curing the liquid material after extrusion hardens the composite. A part is constructed using a series of extruded composite paths. The strand material within the composite contains specific chemical, mechanical, or electrical characteristics that instill the object with enhanced capabilities not possible with only one material.

  • Patent number: 9109388
    Abstract: An accessory mounting bracket for securing door accessories to a door coordinator. The accessory mounting bracket has stepped portions that define a channel that is sized to receive a door coordinator. A recess is disposed below the channel and provides an offset for fasteners that mount the door coordinator to a door frame and may protrude from the door coordinator. A set of bores are used to attach the accessory mounting bracket to the door coordinator and a soffit of the door, while a second bores, which are threaded, allows for attachment of a door accessory to the accessory mounting bracket. The second bores are formed in the accessory mounting bracket so as to be spaced apart from the door coordinator.

  • Publication number: 20050102940
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of making a door having first and second door facings and an internal doorframe. An interior side of a first facing is coated with quick acting adhesive. A frame is placed on the coated interior side about the periphery of the first facing. The frame is then coated with quick acting adhesive. An interior side of a second facing is placed on the coated frame. The facings and frame assembly are then compressed to form a door. The present invention also provides for an automated system of making the door.
