  • Patent number: 12342965
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of a modular dryer assembly for integration into a wall structure. In one embodiment, the modular dryer assembly comprises parallel structural members having first and second ends. An air blower is secured between the structural members for directing an air flow toward the second end of the structural member. A heating chamber receives the air flow from the blower compartment and exposes the air flow to a heating element. An air duct chamber extends from the heating chamber toward the second end of the structural member. A vent louver structure is attached to the air duct chamber. The vent louver structure is configured to direct the air flow from the air duct chamber to an exterior area.

  • Patent number: 11703208
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to manipulate a perceived target material color by varying compositions of illumination with static perceived chromaticity is disclosed. An illumination source is configured to emit light at a first set of wavelengths with a first set of amplitudes to illuminate the target material. An observer perceives the emitted light to be at a predetermined chromaticity, and perceives light reflected from the illuminated target material to be at a first chromaticity. A control device switches the illumination source to emit light at a second plurality of wavelengths at a second plurality of amplitudes, which is perceived to the observer to be of the same predetermined chromaticity as before, while the light reflected from the illuminated target material is perceived to be of a different chromaticity.
