  • Publication number: 20240135302
    Abstract: A building system including one or more storage devices storing instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to ingest information associated with a physical asset of a building, the physical asset being an indoor air quality device. The instructions further cause the one or more processors to cause a graphical model of the building to include a heat map of one of infection risk or particulate concentration overlaid onto a floor of the graphical model based on the information. The instructions further cause the one or more processors to generate a building layout recommendation based on the heat map of the one of the infection risk or the particulate concentration. The instructions further cause the one or more processors to cause a display device of a user device to display the graphical model including the heat map and the building layout recommendation within a user interface.

  • Patent number: 11958361
    Abstract: A military vehicle includes an engine, an energy storage system, an accessory drive coupled to the engine and including an air compressor and a first motor, a second motor coupled to an axle, and a clutch positioned between the engine and the second motor. The clutch is spring-biased into engagement with the engine and pneumatically disengaged by an air supply selectively provided thereto based on operation of the air compressor. In an engine mode, (i) the clutch does not receive the air supply such that the engine is coupled to the second motor and (ii) the engine drives (a) the accessory drive and (b) the axle through the second motor. In the electric mode, (i) the first motor drives the air compressor to compress air to facilitate supplying the air supply to the clutch to disengage the clutch and decouple the engine from the second motor and (ii) the second motor drives the axle.

  • Publication number: 20240087708
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an online system for patient control of a medical prescription. In one example, a method is provided for transmitting a prescription to a first pharmacy in response to a patient selecting the first pharmacy for a first fill of the prescription. The method may further include transmitting the prescription to a second pharmacy in response to the patient selecting the second pharmacy, different than the first pharmacy, for a second fill of the prescription.

  • Patent number: 11918219
    Abstract: A device includes a capsule extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end and including a channel extending therethrough. The capsule is releasably coupled to a proximal portion of the device. Device also includes a first arm rigidly fixed to the distal end of the capsule to extend distally therefrom. In addition, Device includes a second arm, a proximal end of which is slidably received within the capsule so that the second arm is movable between an open configuration, in which the second arm is moved laterally away from the first arm and a distal end of the second arm is moved distally past the distal end of the first arm, and a closed configuration, in which the second arm is moved toward the first arm and the distal end of the second arm is moved proximally toward the distal end of the first arm.

  • Publication number: 20210331214
    Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning industrial components has a liquid container defining a liquid enclosure for containing a cleaning liquid and ultrasonic transducers having an operating frequency and a wavelength in the cleaning liquid and secured to at least a portion of the liquid container at a spacing of between 2 and 10 wavelengths. In operation, the transducers generate a larger power density in the component-receiving area of the liquid container than an average power density of the liquid container.

  • Patent number: 10138110
    Abstract: A system for mixing and dispensing solution, such as a cleaning solution, includes a body with a first flow passage extending between a diluent inlet and an outlet, and a second flow passage extending between a concentrate inlet and the first flow passage. The system further includes a container for concentrate, with a container including a container valve. Moving the body axially toward the container to seat the body on the container opens the container valve for a flow of concentrate from the container to the first flow passage via the second flow passage. Further, moving the body axially away from the container to unseat the body from the container closes the container valve to the flow of concentrate.
