Publication number: 20220403896Abstract: Valve systems include a valve and a valve actuator assembly for operating the valve. The valve actuator assembly includes a drive device and a hand wheel assembly that can independently be used to cause movement of the valve. An anti-back drive component is coupled to the output of the drive device, the hand wheel assembly, or both. The anti-back drive component includes a locking device and an unlocking device, each with respective protrusions that cooperate to define cavities that house pairs of springs and rollers. The shape and orientation of the cavities allows for rotation of the rollers in the cavities and the anti-back drive component by rotating the unlocking device, while preventing rotation of the rollers and the anti-back drive component via rotation of the locking device to selectively prevent rotation of the output of the drive device, hand wheel assembly, or both.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Michael Douglas Williams, Mark Scott Soldan, Donald Hoban, Matt Todd Buss

Patent number: 11403829Abstract: Users can view images or renderings of items placed (virtually) within a physical space. For example, a rendering of an item can be placed within a live camera view of the physical space. A snapshot of the physical space can be captured and the snapshot can be customized, shared, etc. The renderings can be represented as two-dimensional images, e.g., virtual stickers or three-dimensional models of the items. Users can have the ability to view different renderings, move those items around, and develop views of the physical space that may be desirable. The renderings can link to products offered through an electronic marketplace and those products can be consumed. Further, collaborative design is enabled through modeling the physical space and enabling users to view and move around the renderings in a virtual view of the physical space.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2021Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: A9.COM, INC.Inventors: Jason Canada, Rupa Chaturvedi, Jared Corso, Michael Patrick Cutter, Sean Niu, Shaun Michael Post, Peiqi Tang, Stefan Vant, Mark Scott Waldo, Andrea Zehr

Patent number: 11299881Abstract: An interface for a structural member includes at least one first sidewall that extends from a first end along a longitudinal direction and defines a first cavity. The at least one first sidewall defines a female end section and includes a transversely oriented female end surface at the first end. The interface also includes at least one second sidewall that extends from a second end along the longitudinal direction and defines a second cavity. The at least one second sidewall defines a male end section adjacent the second end and configured to be received within the first cavity, and a stop surface offset longitudinally from the second end and oriented to bear against the female end surface in substantially face-to-face contact when the male end section is received within the female end section. The stop surface and the male end section are integrally formed and monolithic.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: BULL MOOSE TUBE COMPANYInventors: Mark Scott Abernathy, Marlon Edwin Robinson, Jeffrey A.

Patent number: 11232511Abstract: Various embodiments provide techniques for generating a virtual wardrobe in which wearing of items can be tracked through computer vision. In various embodiments, computer vision techniques can be used to identify individual clothing items from an image or video of a closet containing a collection of clothes, in which some of the items may be partially obscured, such as positioned behind other items, folded, at an odd viewing angle, shadowed, or the like. Through the present techniques, the clothing items may be automatically cataloged, and utilization of individual items can be tracked automatically based on additional image data of instances in which an item is worn. Various recommendations can then be made based on the attributes of the items in the virtual wardrobe or utilization of the items.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2017Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: A9.COM, INC.Inventors: Andrea Zehr, Caroline Gehrig, Mark Scott Waldo, Stefan Vant

Patent number: 11205923Abstract: A system for controlling power in a facility having an electrical system including a generator and an associated fuel tank. The fuel tank provides fuel to the generator and has a gauge indicating remaining fuel. The generator is electrically connected to the electrical system. A first power consuming device imposes a first load connected to the electrical system of the facility and second power consuming device imposes a second load connected to the electrical system of the facility. The system receives information related to the loads and calculates an initial estimated run time of the generator given the remaining quantity of fuel and information related to the first load and information related to the second load. The system selectively removes the second load in a simulation and calculates a second run time of the generator given the remaining quantity of fuel and information related to the first load.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2019Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Raymond Frederick Martin, Mark Scott Mueller

Patent number: 11093748Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and method for visual search and augmented reality, in which an onscreen body of visual markers overlayed on the interface signals the current state of an image recognition process. Specifically, the body of visual markers may take on a plurality of behaviors, in which a particular behavior is indicative of a particular state. Thus, the user can tell what the current state of the scanning process is by the behavior of the body of visual markers. The behavior of the body of visual markers may also indicate to the user recommended actions that can be taken to improve the scanning condition or otherwise facilitate the process. In various embodiments, as the scanning process goes from one state to another state, the onscreen body of visual markers may move or seamlessly transition from one behavior to another behavior, accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2020Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: A9.COM, INC.Inventors: Peiqi Tang, Andrea Zehr, Rupa Chaturvedi, Yu Lou, Colin Jon Taylor, Mark Scott Waldo, Shaun Michael Post
