Publication number: 20250116981Abstract: An appliance includes a cabinet, an interior cavity defined by the cabinet, a storage compartment positioned within the interior cavity that supports a temporarily stored item, a temperature control system, a gas detector, and a scanning apparatus that has at least one camera and is configured to record and store image data associated with a user's preference. The scanning apparatus conducts first and second data capturing phases. A difference between first and second data sets is analyzed to produce a current inventory manifest. The appliance also includes a weight scale and a controller. The controller evaluates a location of the temporarily stored item based on the image data and determines remaining contents of the temporarily stored item based on data from the weight scale. The controller determines a preferred air velocity for the storage compartment based upon data collected from the gas detector and the weight scale.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2024Publication date: April 10, 2025Applicant: WHIRLPOOL CORPORATIONInventors: Joshua George Abdoo, Ariana M.

Publication number: 20250085553Abstract: Display devices include waveguides with in-coupling optical elements that mitigate re-bounce of in-coupled light to improve in-coupling efficiency and/or uniformity. A waveguide receives light from a light source and includes an in-coupling optical element that in-couples the received light to propagate by total internal reflection within the waveguide. The in-coupled light may undergo re-bounce, in which the light reflects off a waveguide surface and, after the reflection, strikes the in-coupling optical element. Upon striking the in-coupling optical element, the light may be partially absorbed and/or out-coupled by the optical element, thereby reducing the amount of in-coupled light propagating through the waveguide.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2024Publication date: March 13, 2025Inventors: Jeffrey Dean SCHMULEN, Neal Paul RICKS, Samarth BHARGAVA, Kevin MESSER, Victor Kai LIU, Matthew Grant DIXON, Xiaopei DENG, Marlon Edward MENEZES, Shuqiang YANG, Vikramjit SINGH, Kang LUO, Frank Y.
