  • Patent number: 12193577
    Abstract: A customer's affinity towards a plurality of mattresses displayed in a brick and mortar store is determined. The probability of the customer purchasing at least one of the displayed mattresses is extrapolated based on the customer's affinity towards each of the mattresses. Customer engagement with each of the mattresses is determined based on the pressure data obtained from embedded pressure sensors responsive to the body pressure. The pressure data and the information indicative of a total number of positions taken up by the customer on each of the mattresses, time spent by the customer on each of the mattresses in each of the positions, and the total time spent by the customer on each of the mattresses are fed to a neural network as inputs, with the neural network determining an affinity score indicative of the customer's affinity towards each of the mattresses.

  • Publication number: 20240344739
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adaptive flow across multiple water heaters. The system may include a plurality of water heaters provided in a cascaded arrangement, with each of the water heaters including a valve. The valves may be, for example, motorized isolation valves that may be automatically closed and/or opened by one or more controllers associated with the water heaters. This may allow for the system to automatically regulate the flow rate through each of the water heaters to provide for optimal usage of the cascaded water heaters. For example, if it is determined by the one or more controllers (based on sensor data from the water heaters) that a flow rate has decreased below a threshold value for a giving water heater firing rate, one or more valves may be closed such that fewer water heaters are used and the flow rate is increased.

  • Publication number: 20240347276
    Abstract: A multilayer electrical component including a plurality of parallel plate electrodes embedded in a dielectric body between first and second conductive terminations is disclosed. The plurality of parallel plate electrodes form a stack of electrode layers, which are embedded in the dielectric body, where one or more gaps in each of the respective parallel plate electrodes forms electrically isolated plate portions. The interaction between the electrically isolated plate portions of the parallel plate electrodes in adjacent electrode layers produces a piezoelectric effect, having a corresponding force. The gaps in the parallel plate electrodes are offset relative to a gap in a separate nearby associated parallel plate electrodes, thereby resulting in the associated corresponding forces being directed away from a common boundary.
