  • Publication number: 20240418378
    Abstract: Certain embodiments of an indoor unit (e.g., an indoor unit for a heat pump system) include: a housing comprising an exit-point on a wall-side of the housing, the exit point comprising a refrigerant line and the housing having a height of less than 11 inches; a heat-exchanger connected to the refrigerant line, wherein a portion of the refrigerant line that is external to the heat exchanger, and that runs internal to the housing and between the heat exchanger and an outdoor unit, runs substantially within a height-depth plane of the housing prior to exiting the housing and traverses less than 25% of a width of the housing; and a fan, wherein the indoor unit is configured to exchange at least 8000 BTUs/hour with a room and wherein the indoor unit produces a noise of 48 dBA or less.

  • Patent number: 11839279
    Abstract: Accessories that can add new functionality to an electronic device. These accessories can provide additional functionality that allow for the replacement of a physical object that would otherwise be carried in addition to and separate from the electronic device. These accessories can further provide improvements, such as a reduction in size or improvement in functionality over the physical object to be replaced.

  • Publication number: 20230132464
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a compartment on a vehicle such as an autonomous or semi-autonomous delivery vehicle may be provided with an interface arrangement configured to facilitate the coupling and uncoupling of compartment inserts. The interface arrangement may include mechanical, electrical, and data transmission features. Mechanical features of an interface arrangement may be configured to physically secure or hold a compartment insert in a desired position and/or orientation within a compartment, while electrical features may be configured to enable power to be provided to the compartment insert. Data transmission features may be configured to enable monitoring and control of features of the compartment insert. Different types of compartment inserts may be configured to mate with an interface arrangement, e.g., a substantially universal interface arrangement which effectively provides for interoperability of different compartment inserts, in a compartment of a vehicle.
