  • Patent number: 11965804
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and alerting to likely leaks in an electronic display assembly are provided. An electronic display assembly includes an electronic display, a testing area, and a differential pressure sensor fluidly connected to ambient air in an ambient environment and gas within the testing area. A controller determines one or more differential pressure readings based on data received from the differential pressure sensor, and generates and transmits an electronic notification where the differential pressure readings are below a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20220163635
    Abstract: Systems and methods for imaging and ranging sensors that sense objects around a vehicle. In one example, a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor including a plurality of microelectromechanical (MEMS) mirrors may be operated such that a functional field of view of the LIDAR sensor is adjusted by changing a number of MEMS mirrors that are operated to scan an external environment surrounding the vehicle. For example, one or more mirrors may be turned on or off depending on an intended vehicle path. In some examples, while all the MEMS mirrors are operated, overall processing of data may be reduced by using data acquired from the number of mirrors that scan the desired field of view.

  • Publication number: 20210345062
    Abstract: A system for tracking refuse collection vehicles includes one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including receiving, from a user device, a first user input indicating one or more parameters of a geofence, the geofence defining a virtual perimeter around a geographical location, determining whether the refuse collection vehicle is within the virtual perimeter of the geofence based on a current location of the refuse collection vehicle, and transmitting, to the user device, a first notification based on a determination that the refuse collection vehicle is within the geofence, the first notification indicating to a user of the user device that the refuse collection vehicle is within the geofence.

  • Patent number: 9809952
    Abstract: A dewatering system for separating a slurry into solid material and effluent water. The dewatering system comprises a plurality of support frames arranged to enclose an interior space of the dewatering system, with the interior space being configured to receive the slurry. The dewatering system further includes geo-fabric material positioned on a portion of the support frames, with the geo-fabric material being configured to filter the slurry received within the interior space, such that effluent water permeates through the geo-fabric material and is discharged from the interior space. The dewatering system further comprises a dump door assembly associated with at least one of the support frames, with the dump door assembly including a plurality of hatches configured to selectively open to allow effluent water to be discharged from the interior space of the dewatering system.

  • Patent number: 9009725
    Abstract: A combination of workflow management tools is utilized to implement a logical system that supports the needs of both simple and complex workflow environments. Team members may access a central database to collaborate on a project via user interfaces with work item functionality, such as creation, reporting, performance, updates, and communications. Select management of work items may be automated. Work items may represent server-oriented tasks and sub-tasks and may be ticketed and tracked. A knowledge base may provide help for the system application, such as online or live access to access helpful information. In an example embodiment, the workflow management tools are implemented to support the creation of a Video Hub Office project.

  • Publication number: 20110173850
    Abstract: A flexible and rigid thin hoop to be inserted into wet pants, shirts, or other appropriate clothing for the purposes of reducing or eliminating wrinkles. This invention reduces the use of electricity by old methods such as ironing or professional pressing, and reduces the risk of injury by burns. The preferred method of use eliminates the step of using a drier, thus further saving electricity and time in laundry activities. Additionally, improved timing or ease of use may be found through reduction of warm up time for heating elements within irons or assembly of iron boards.
