  • Patent number: 9021110
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for consistently associating a user ID with a user. In one aspect, a method may comprise receiving a data request at a transceiver accessible by a server computing device, wherein, in response to receiving the data request, the server computing device is configured to: access, by one or more processors coupled to the transceiver, a first value embedded in a first cookie associated with a first expiration time; set a second cookie embedded with a second value; and reset the first cookie responsive to receiving an indication that the first cookie is expiring, wherein to reset the first cookie comprises replacing the first cookie with a third cookie set with a value equal to the first value and a third expiration time later than the first expiration time. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

  • Patent number: 8757008
    Abstract: A powered capture hood assembly to measure volumetric airflow in heating and cooling systems and for ventilation fans. The capture hood assembly has a hood for capturing or providing airflow, a formed nozzle structure attached thereto for conditioning the airflow and a blower apparatus with an adjustable fan attached to the opposite end of the nozzle structure. Subsequent the positioning of the hood over a supply duct, for example, a fan speed controller is utilized to adjust the fan in the tubular blower member to provide a zero or null pressure reading between the venturi portion of the nozzle structure and the local ambient room pressure. A pressure gauge is utilized to measure the pressure differential between a pressure reference tap of the formed nozzle structure and the pressure tap of the blower apparatus to determine volumetric airflow.

  • Patent number: 7481554
    Abstract: A battery powered LED lamp including an array of high-performance LEDs disposed in a lightweight directionally oriented shade. Converting electronics are provided which may include a step-down DC voltage switching regulator for converting a higher voltage of the battery power source to a lower voltage required to drive the LEDs at greater than 90% efficiency. The converting electronics may also include an LED current monitoring circuit for preventing thermal runaway of the LEDs and for reliably operating the LEDs near their maximum rating so to provide the maximum amount of brightness from the LED array and maximum battery life.
