  • Publication number: 20240123460
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and computer program products for producing and applying a spray foam producing mixture onto a surface, and imaging a spray cone, or the applied surface, using an infrared or an optical imaging device to capture an image, and then determining, based on the captured image, if a defect that requires correction exists in the spray cone or in the applied surface; and optionally, in response to determining that a defect requiring correction exists, modifying a process parameter in producing or applying spray foam.

  • Patent number: 11937762
    Abstract: A vacuum tool configured to be removably coupled to hose or wand of a vacuum includes a body including a first end, a second end, and a first longitudinal axis extending between the first end and the second end. The vacuum tool also includes a head coupled to the first end of the body, a connection portion coupled to the second end of the body and configured to couple the body to a hose or wand of a vacuum cleaner, and a brush coupled to the head. The brush includes an elongate support defining a second axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body and configured to couple the brush to the head, and a plurality of bristles positioned on the elongate support.

  • Patent number: 6069880
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting a pilot signal on a second frequency while monitoring a first frequency having an assigned paging slot and a plurality of non-assigned paging slots. The method comprises the steps of monitoring the assigned paging slot of the first frequency and scanning for the pilot signal on the second frequency during at least one of the non-assigned paging slots of the first frequency. If the pilot signal is detected while scanning the second frequency, the pilot signal is processed normally. The method also includes entering a sleep mode for a remainder of the non-assigned paging slots. In a preferred embodiment, scanning for the pilot signal on the second frequency occurs in a non-assigned paging slot immediately following the assigned paging slot. In an alternate embodiment, scanning for the pilot signal occurs in a non-assigned paging slot immediately preceding the assigned paging slot.

  • Patent number: 5953320
    Abstract: The wireless communication device receives a neighbor list message from a first base station. The neighbor list message includes a respective base station configuration parameter for each of a plurality of base stations. In response to the neighbor list message, the wireless communication device constructs a neighbor list table, including one record for each of the plurality of base stations, with each record including their respective base station configuration parameter. After handing off to a second base station, the wireless communication device replaces the record for the second base station with a corresponding record for the first base station. The wireless communication device then may change the respective base station configuration parameter for at least one of the records of the plurality of base stations in the neighbor list table to match the base station configuration parameter of the second base station.
