Patent number: 12209768Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for evaporative cooling control. In one implementation, a humidity setpoint is received for a designated space, and at least one atmospheric condition of ambient air is received. The at least one atmospheric condition is measured using one or more ambient air sensors. A performance prediction of an evaporative cooler is generated by calculating a set of one or more predicted psychrometric properties of supply air leaving the evaporative cooler based on the at least one atmospheric condition. The humidity setpoint is compared to the set of one or more predicted psychrometric properties of the performance prediction in a setpoint comparison. A flow of fluid is controlled over evaporative media using one or more pumps of the evaporative cooler. The flow of the fluid is controlled based on the setpoint comparison such that the humidity setpoint is prevented from being exceeded.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: WESTERN MECHANICAL SOLUTIONS, LLCInventors: Michael K. Fulton, Hal Douglas Yoder, II, Enrico J. Ressler

Patent number: 12212865Abstract: A system for obtaining color imagery using SPADs includes a SPAD array that has a plurality of SPAD pixels. Each of the plurality of SPAD pixels includes a respective color filter positioned thereover. The system is configurable to capture an image frame using the SPAD array and generate a filtered image by performing a temporal filtering operation using the image frame and at least one preceding image frame. The at least one preceding image frame is captured by the SPAD array at a timepoint that temporally precedes a timepoint associated with the image frame. The system is also configurable to, after performing the temporal filtering operation, generate a color image by demosaicing the filtered image.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2023Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Raymond Kirk Price, Michael Bleyer, Christopher Douglas Edmonds

Patent number: 12191694Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and devices for controlling charging of vehicles, to avoid charging during charge-adverse time periods or during charge restriction events. This can advantageously reduce cost to vehicles owners, and or provide access to reward incentives. Further, power distribution entities (utility providers) advantageously have increased control over power distribution to avoid over-burdening of power distribution infrastructure. Further, systems and methods for determining or inferring whether a vehicle is connected to a charge station are described, which can be used to inform automatic restriction of vehicle charging.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2021Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: Geotab Inc.Inventors: Eric Christopher Mallia, Christopher Joseph Mendes, Matthew Stevens, Young Seok Shin, Michael Douglas McLean

SYSTEMS, DEVICES AND METHODS RELATING TO CONTROLLING HEATING IN A RADIOFREQUENCY TREATMENT PROCEDURE
Publication number: 20240423693Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a radiofrequency (RF) treatment are provided. In some embodiments, the method can include: performing, using a programmable controller, at least the following functions of: measuring an electrical energy flow through a grounding pad that is in contact with at least a portion of skin of a subject's skin; determining, based on the measured electrical energy flow, a heating factor that represents a measure of heat absorbed by the subject over a period of time in response to treatment of the subject with an electrical radiofrequency probe; and comparing the heating factor to a predetermined threshold. In response to determining from the comparison that the heating factor is approaching or greater than the predetermined threshold value, the method can include disabling the radiofrequency generator or changing the electrical energy flow such that the controller regulates the electrical energy flow using a closed loop feedback system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2022Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Lisa M.
