Patent number: 11906174Abstract: A hot water delivery system includes a water heater, a mixing valve that is coupled to the output of the water heater, and a plurality of loads that are coupled to the output of the mixing valve. A load set point temperature of each load that is representative of a maximum temperature of the hot water that is to be delivered to the respective load is set by a user. Responsive to detecting the occurrence of an event associated with a load of the plurality of loads, a controller of the water heater controls the mixing valve to adjust the temperature of the hot water from the water heater to the load set point temperature associated with the load, provided the load set point temperature of the load is different from a water heater set point temperature at which the water heater maintains the hot water therein.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2019Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Rheem Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Robert Aaron Oglesbee, Matthew S. Wasson

Publication number: 20240040073Abstract: A computer stores a reference image representing a physical background within a field of view of a camera of a client device. The computer receives, via the camera and during a video conference to which the client device is connected, camera-generated visual data for output to at least one remote device connected to the video conference. The computer identifies, based on facial recognition applied to the camera-generated visual data, foreground imagery representing at least one person and background imagery representing content of the camera-generated visual data other than the foreground imagery. The computer identifies a difference between the background imagery and the reference image. The computer generates a composite image by replacing, within the background imagery of the camera-generated visual data, an item represented within the background imagery and within the identified difference with a co-located part of the reference image.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2022Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Shihwei Chang, Robert Aaron Klegon, Cynthia Eshiuan Lee, Nicholas Mueller, Shane Paul Springer

Patent number: 11651785Abstract: Methods are described for forming a mounting surface on a slider body. In one method, an adhesion layer can be deposited on a top surface of a slider body. A first photolithography cycle deposits a first metal layer having a first thickness of at least 8 ?m. A second photolithography cycle deposits a second metal layer having a second thickness of at least 8 ?m over the first metal layer. The first and second layer form a mounting support on the top surface. In another method, the top surface is etched to form a mounting support.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2022Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Joseph M.
