  • Patent number: 11732466
    Abstract: An active insulated assembly for controlling heat transfer through insulated assemblies. The active insulated assembly includes a thermal conductor configured to actively move thermal energy from the active insulated assembly. The active insulated assembly also includes a first radiant barrier on a first side of the thermal conductor configured to reflect radiant energy back to its source and allow the assembly to resist heat transfer in either direction. The active insulated assembly further includes a second radiant barrier on a second side of the thermal conductor wherein the second side is opposite the first side, the second radiant barrier configured to reflect radiant energy back to its source and allow the assembly to resist heat transfer in either direction.

  • Publication number: 20230252659
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to displaying and editing an image with depth information. In response to an input, an object in the image having a one or more elements in a first depth range is identified. The identified object is then isolated from other elements in the image and displayed separately from the other elements. The isolated object may then be utilized in different applications.

  • Patent number: 11669985
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to displaying and editing image with depth information. Image data associated with an image includes depth information associated with a subject. In response to a request to display the image, a first modified image is displayed. Displaying the first modified image includes displaying, based on the depth information, a first level of simulated lighting on a first portion of the subject and a second level of simulated lighting on a second portion of the subject. After displaying the first modified image, a second modified image is displayed. Displaying the second modified image includes displaying, based on the depth information, a third level of simulated lighting on the first portion of the subject and a fourth level of simulated lighting on the second portion of the subject.

  • Publication number: 20220244838
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to using avatars and image data for enhanced user interactions. In some examples, user status dependent avatars are generated and displayed with a message associated with the user status. In some examples, a device captures image information to scan an object to create a 3D model of the object. The device determines an algorithm for the 3D model based on the capture image information and provides visual feedback on additional image data that is needed for the algorithm to build the 3D model. In some examples, an application's operation on a device is restricted based on whether an authorized user is identified as using the device based on captured image data.

  • Patent number: 10867084
    Abstract: A system for creating an energy performance and predictive model. The system includes a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium which performs the steps obtaining parametric information objects that represent actual physical objects and modifying the parametric information objects by embedding data related to energy performance characteristics unique to the device represented. The system further performs the steps grouping the modified parametric information objects that define actual real world interrelationships to create a complete virtualized project and parsing the virtualized model data set to create a first parsed data set and a second parsed data set. The first parsed data set creates the project system control application, which acts upon and coordinates the actions of the real device through the virtual field bus.

  • Publication number: 20200341610
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device initiates or modifies the display of one or more selectable options in response to detecting an object near the touch-sensitive display of the electronic device. In some embodiments, an electronic device prevents an indication of an event from auto-dismissing while the electronic device detects an object hovering near the touch-sensitive display of the electronic device. In some embodiments, an electronic device changes a visual characteristic of content presented on the touch-sensitive display in response to detecting an object hovering above the touch-sensitive display.
