Patent number: 11933320Abstract: A dishwasher appliance or pump assembly may include a fluid pump and a vibration damper. The fluid pump may define a center of gravity. The vibration damper may be attached to the fluid pump. The vibration damper may include first and second spring beams and first and second damper masses. The first spring beam may extend longitudinally between a fixed end and a free end and be offset from the center of gravity at a first radial side. The first damper mass may be disposed on the free end of the first spring beam. The second spring beam may extend longitudinally between a fixed and a free end and be offset from the center of gravity at a second radial side. The second damper mass may be disposed on the free end of the second spring beam.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Haier US Appliance Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Kyle Brewer, Mark Fryman, Craig Curtis, Steven Koepke, Luke Fredette, Scott Noll

Patent number: 11869334Abstract: A mobile device can wirelessly connect, using transceivers, to a medical item and a wristband worn by a user. The mobile device includes a software application enabling a user to input distance thresholds. The wristband can also include a software application enabling a user to input distance thresholds. Both the mobile device application and the wristband application can monitor signals between the medical item and wristband. In another system, a medical item distance alert system can include a plurality of medical items. In another system, a mobile device is not in communication with the wristband or medical items. The wristband software application can monitor signals between medical items and provide alerts in the absence of another mobile device. Preferably, ultra-wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth transceivers can be implemented to provide accurate distance estimates with low power usage.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Inventors: Mark Curtis, Kenya King
