Patent number: 12486611Abstract: A laundry appliance including a cabinet and a flow control device is provided. The cabinet includes a drum rotatably mounted within the cabinet. The drum defines a chamber for receipt of articles for drying. The flow control device includes a body forming a plurality of inlet openings. The body forms a flowpath from each inlet opening to an outlet opening. The plurality of inlet openings is each configured to receive a fluid. The body is in fluid communication with the chamber through the outlet opening to provide a fluid received through one or more of the plurality of inlet openings. The flow control device includes a valve positioned at the flowpath.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2022Date of Patent: December 2, 2025Assignee: Haier US Appliance Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Alexander B. Leibman, Venkata Chakradhar Rangu, Robert Byron, Jay Pareshbhai Shinde

Patent number: 12399764Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for facilitating error corrections during testing of proposed code. The system may receive, via a user interface, a proposed code for testing on an application testing platform and may request initiation, on the application testing platform, of an application testing protocol of the proposed code. The system may receive, from the application testing platform, testing logs associated with the proposed code. The plurality of testing logs may include error notifications, and the system may determine explanations and proposed corrections corresponding to the error notifications. The system may output, via the user interface, an aggregation of the testing logs with the explanations and proposed corrections.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2023Date of Patent: August 26, 2025Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventor: Robert Byron

Publication number: 20250037182Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for progressively training an auto recommendation machine learning model based on differences between customer automobile searching preferences and actual automobile purchasing behavior. Search data indicating a history of auto shopping searches by one or more users may be received. Training data may be generated based on the search data and historical vehicle financing data and used to train a machine learning model. Auto shopping preference information may be received and provided as input to the trained machine learning model, which may output one or more recommended automobiles. After display of those one or more recommended automobiles, the system may receive an indication of an automobile purchased by a user and determine a difference between the automobile purchased by the user and the automobile shopping preference information. Based on that difference, the trained machine learning model may be further trained.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2023Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: Alexander Gurfinkel, Srikanth Bongu, Nicholas Nitta, Robert Byron

Publication number: 20080060937Abstract: An electrochemical cell includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a proton exchange membrane disposed between and in intimate contact with the electrodes, and a pressure pad disposed in electrical communication with the first electrode. The pressure pad is an electrically conductive sheet and is of a structure that is conformable to pressure variations within the cell. Methods of forming the pressure pad include disposing dimples or corrugations at the electrically conductive member. A method of maintaining compression within the cell includes disposing the electrically conductive member and the compression member at the first electrode, applying a load at the cell to compress the cell components, and maintaining electrical communication through the electrically conductive member.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2007Publication date: March 13, 2008Applicant: PROTON ENERGY SYSTEMS INC.Inventors: Trent Molter, Lawrence Moulthrop, Jason Shiepe, A. Speranza, Robert Byron

Publication number: 20060199067Abstract: In one embodiment a compression device comprises: a base plate having a surface, a spring support plate, a resilient member, a manifold, and a side plate. The resilient member is disposed between the spring support plate and the base plate in compressible mechanical communication with the base plate to enable a force to be imparted to the base plate in a direction normal to the surface. The side plate is disposed from the spring support plate to the manifold, wherein the side plate physically engages a periphery of the manifold and a periphery of the spring support plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2006Publication date: September 7, 2006Applicant: PROTON ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Frano Barbir, Robert Byron, Matt Stone, Bhaskar Balasubramanian

Publication number: 20060199055Abstract: In one embodiment, an electrochemical cell comprises: a first electrode and a second electrode with a membrane disposed therebetween to form a membrane electrode assembly, a bipolar plate disposed on a side of the membrane electrode assembly, and a thermistor element disposed proximate an edge of the bipolar plate. In one embodiment, a method of cooling an electrochemical cell comprises: radiating heat from a fin extending from an edge of a flow field support member of the electrochemical cell and flowing air along the fin to convectively remove heat from the flow field support member.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2006Publication date: September 7, 2006Applicant: PROTON ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Frano Barbir, Robert Byron, Matt Stone, Bhaskar Balasubramanian

Publication number: 20060199056Abstract: In one embodiment, an electrochemical cell comprises: a membrane electrode assembly comprising a first active area and an opposingly positioned second active area, and a flow field support member disposed adjacent to said membrane electrode assembly. Each of the active areas comprises an electrode, and has a length to width ratio configured such that, during use of the electrochemical cell, a temperature differential measured across the shortest distance from a center of the active areas to an edge of the active areas is less than about 15° C. The flow field support member has a flow region that aligns with either the first active area or the second active area.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2006Publication date: September 7, 2006Applicant: PROTON ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Frano Barbir, Robert Byron, Matt Stone, Bhaskar Balasubramanian
