Publication number: 20250075944Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic and automated control of a heating appliance based on atmospheric pressure conditions are provided. Particularly, a controller of the heating appliance may be configured to automatically adjust the amount of gas and/or air provided to the combustion chamber of the heating appliance based on changes in atmospheric pressure in the environment of the heating appliance. Changes in atmospheric pressure may impact the combustion process within the heating appliance, which may lead to inefficiencies in the operation of the heating appliance if the rate at which gas and/or air is provided remain constant during pressure changes. To mitigate these impacts, a barometric pressure sensor may be used to measure the atmospheric pressure at any given time and may provide this data to the controller. The controller may then adjust the rate at which gas and/or air is provided within the heating appliance to reduce such inefficiencies.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2024Publication date: March 6, 2025Inventors: Michael John Knieser, Mohammad Taha Ahmad, Robert Aaron Oglesbee, Shawn Allan Reed, Darryl J.

Publication number: 20250077560Abstract: A method includes selecting an entigen group from a knowledge database. The entigen group is a most likely meaning of a phrase of a string of words. An entigen of the entigen group corresponds to a selected identigen from a set of identigens regarding a word of the string of words. The set of identigens represent different meanings of the word. The method further includes identifying other entigen groups of alternate phrases having a similar most likely meaning from the knowledge database. The alternate phrases are different permutations of the string of words. The method further includes determining a dominant sentiment the other entigen groups and generating an updated clarifying entigen group based on the sentiment.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2024Publication date: March 6, 2025Applicant: entigenlogic LLCInventors: Frank John Williams, David Ralph Lazzara, Stephen Chen, Karl Olaf Knutson, Jessy Thomas, David Michael Corns, II, Andrew Chu, Gary W.
