  • Systems and methods for improved cellular quality of experience
    Patent number: 10698568
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an improved cellular user quality of experience (QoE) are disclosed. The system can comprise a database including multiple cell towers and their operating frequencies. The system can also include a database of frequencies for a plurality of user equipment (UE). The system enables user to input a chosen UE, a chosen location, and a connection type. The system can then provide a compatibility map depicting the coverage provided by cell towers proximate the chosen location that operate at the same frequencies as the chosen UE. Improved knowledge of UE and cell tower compatibility in areas of interest to the user can improve cellular customer satisfaction, retention, and loyalty, and reduce UE returns.

  • Crop machine with an electronically controlled hydraulic cylinder flotation system
    Patent number: 10681865
    Abstract: A header is supported by a pair of hydraulic float cylinders, where a float pressure to the cylinders is directly controlled by an electronic control supplying a variable control signal to a PPRR valve arrangement to maintain the float pressure at a predetermined value. At the set pressure a predetermined lifting force is provided to the header. A position sensor is used to generate an indication of movement and/or acceleration and/or velocity. The electronic control is arranged, in response to changes in the sensor signal, to temporarily change the control signal to vary the lifting force and thus change the dynamic response of the hydraulic float cylinder. A lift force greater than that required to lift the header can be provided by a lift cylinder and can be opposed in a controlled manner to apply a controlled downforce by the back of the same cylinder or by a separate component.

  • MULTI-DIRECTIONAL AIR DISTRIBUTION ASSEMBLY FOR A DISHWASHING APPLIANCE
    Publication number: 20200093348
    Abstract: A dishwashing appliance includes a tub defining a wash chamber. An inlet is defined in the tub and provides air flow into the wash chamber. A fan selectively urges air through the inlet in at least two different directions, including a first direction and a second direction. A diverter disk is proximate the inlet downstream of the fan and upstream of the wash chamber. The diverter disk defines an axial direction. The diverter disk is movable along the axial direction between a first position and a second position. The fan urges the diverter disk to move from the second position to the first position when the fan urges air through the inlet in the first direction, and the fan urges the diverter disk to move from the first position to the second position when the fan urges air through the inlet in the second direction.

  • Intramedullary fracture fixation devices and methods
    Patent number: 10548648
    Abstract: An intramedullary bone fixation device is provided with an elongate body having a longitudinal axis and an actuator to deploy at least one gripper to engage an inner surface of the intramedullary space to anchor the fixation device to the bone. Methods of repairing a fracture of a bone are also disclosed. One such method comprises inserting a fixation device into an intramedullary space of the bone to place at least a portion of the fixation device on one side of the fracture, providing rigidity across the fracture, and operating an actuator to deploy at least one gripper to engage an inner surface of the intramedullary space to anchor the fixation device to the bone. Various configurations allow a segmented device body to lock in the intramedullary space before and/or after fixation of the bone.
