  • Publication number: 20250251294
    Abstract: A tubing assembly includes first and second tubing segments, and a pressure cup portion formed between the first and second tubing segments. The pressure cup portion has a first open lateral side, and a second closed lateral side including a flat membrane member configured to engage a diaphragm of a pressure transmitter to transmit a pressure of a fluid disposed within the pressure cup portion to said diaphragm. The flat membrane member is integrally formed with the pressure cup portion. A mold for forming the tubing assembly, and a pressure sensing system includes the tubing assembly, a housing portion, and a pressure sensor receivable within the housing to position a diaphragm of the pressure sensor directly adjacent to the flat membrane member of the tubing assembly.

  • Patent number: 12343912
    Abstract: A tubing system with a coupler join positioned between and joining tubing segments. The coupler join is formed to reduce dead legs and hold up volumes within, and/or to reduce materials used to form, and/or to simplify the manufacturing process of the tubing system. The coupler join may be sized, shaped, configured, and/or dimensioned to join tubing segments, such as pre-formed tubing segments, in a streamlined configuration, such as to substantially correspond with the outer and inner diameters of the tubing segments. The tubing system and coupler join may be formed with a mold configured to form a coupler join securely coupling spaced apart ends of tubing segments to be joined together in a configuration which reduces dead legs and hold up volumes within the resulting tubing system.

  • Publication number: 20250143433
    Abstract: A hair care appliance is provided. The hair care appliance includes a handle and a body coupled to the handle via a rotational hinge joint. The body can be movable via the rotational hinge joint between a straight configuration in which the body is aligned with a longitudinal axis of the handle and a bent configuration in which the body extends along an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the handle. A fluid flow path extends between an inlet in the handle and an outlet in the body. The hair care appliance can be operated with minimal loss of fluid flow in either the straight configuration and the bent configuration. The hair care appliance includes a fan assembly in the handle and a heater assembly in the body that are positioned to create a balanced center of mass of the hair care appliance when operated by a user.

  • Publication number: 20240255774
    Abstract: A hologram display system is disclosed. An example system includes a hologram apparatus including a sheet folded along preformed creases into a frustum structure configured to be actuated between a compressed state and an uncompressed state. The frustum structure has a base section and a top section connected by side sections. The system also includes instructions stored in a memory of a consumer device, which when executed, cause a processor of the consumer device to display, on a screen of the consumer device, holographic interactive content that is related to the hologram apparatus, detect interaction with at least one of the holographic interactive content or the hologram apparatus after the hologram apparatus is placed on the screen of the consumer device, and change the display of at least a portion of the holographic interactive content based on the detected interaction.

  • Publication number: 20240225233
    Abstract: A hair care appliance is provided and includes a diverter configured to divert a portion of airflow from an airflow path through the body into the handle to cool electrical components disposed within the handle. In an exemplary embodiment, a hair care appliance is provided having a handle and a body coupled to the handle. A fan assembly is disposed within the body and is configured to generate an airflow. A first portion of the airflow can flow from an inlet of the body to an outlet of the body. A second portion of the airflow can flow into the handle to cool at least one electrical component provided in the handle.
