  • Publication number: 20250237028
    Abstract: An underdrain system includes a gasket positionable on a sealing surface and one or more underdrain laterals positionable on the gasket. At least one of the underdrain laterals has a gasket inspection hole therethrough. The gasket inspection hole is configured to: (i) have a gasket inspection tool inserted therethrough to verify that the gasket is sufficiently compressed between the sealing surface and the one or more underdrain laterals; and/or (ii) have a portion of the gasket extend therethrough when the gasket is sufficiently compressed between the sealing surface and the one or more underdrain laterals. The underdrain system may also include a gasket retention feature. Water level tests may be used to determine whether surfaces are level and/or whether relative heights are within acceptable tolerances.

  • Publication number: 20250238435
    Abstract: A method of operations of a display-server computing system includes delivering input by a display device to a server computer over a communications network, processing an application unit of the server computer with the input, responsive to the step of inputting, outputting a result of the processing, together with tags indicative of the input, delivering the result and the tags by the server computer to the display device over the communications network, receiving the result and the tags by the display device, receiving new input to the display device prior to receiving the result and the tags by the display device, and processing a transform of the display device by comparing the tags to the new input to obtain a transformed result.

  • Patent number: 12368247
    Abstract: A wireless communication node employs a method for configuring its donor and service antennas at or after node installation. The antennas are positioned in a predetermined arrangement about a central axis. The node includes the antennas, an actuator, one or more processors, and a memory storing processor-executable instructions for the processor(s). Responsive to the stored instructions, the processor processes wireless signals received by the donor antenna and communicates control signals to the actuator to rotate the donor and service antennas as a group about the central axis. Rotation may be incremental based on whether the donor antenna received an acceptable base station signal at a previous angular displacement increment or may be comprehensive to permit receipt of candidate base station data for a predetermined amount of rotation. After an acceptable base station is identified, the donor antenna's beam pattern may be formed in a direction of the identified base station.

  • Patent number: 12364175
    Abstract: A row cleaner connected to a strip till machine clears mulch and other debris in strip or low till planting. A row cleaner frame assembly includes a pair of row cleaner arms and a pair of clearing wheels having toe-in alignment. The pair of row cleaner arms share a common plane and are pivotally connected at a pair of pivot points common or close to the rotational axis of a cutting disc. The cutting disc is disposed intermediate the pair of row cleaner arms. The row cleaner arms are configured to maintain the clearing wheels in close-proximity to the cutting disc to provide stretch and cut row clearing operation. An actuator pivotally adjusts the row cleaner assembly relative to the cutting disc. A pivot limiter restricts pivotal travel of the row cleaner. A row closing section lever adjusts toe and/or camber of a closing wheel.

  • Patent number: 12368405
    Abstract: This disclosure discusses devices, systems, and methods for attaching solar modules to roofs. A first device may include an upper platform and a clamp jaw. The upper platform includes a top surface and a bottom surface that extends obliquely downward with respect to the top surface. The clamp jaw clamps a solar module downward against the top surface as the clamp jaw moves along the bottom surface. A second device may include an upper platform and a pair of clamp jaws spaced apart along the upper platform. The upper platform includes a top surface and a bottom surface that extends obliquely downward with respect to the top surface. The pair of clamp jaws clamps a pair of adjacent solar modules downward against the top surface as the clamp jaws move along the bottom surface.

  • Patent number: 12367208
    Abstract: Typically, in-depth domain knowledge is required to efficiently query a data system. Accordingly, embodiments are disclosed for a no-code method for implementing data operations, such as extract, transform, load (ETL) operations on third-party platforms, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms. Disclosed embodiments may provide a graphical user interface that enables a user to construct a blueprint of a data operation using drag-and-drop operations on a virtual canvas. The blueprint may be translated into ETL instructions that are deployed on a proxy service for simplified access via a uniform resource locator (URL). When the URL is accessed, the proxy service may execute the ETL instructions to communicate with a domain-specific engine on a third-party platform to obtain the results of the data operation. These results may also be periodically cached according to time-to-live intervals to reduce overall retrieval times.

  • Patent number: 12364551
    Abstract: A surgical system is provided for robotically resecting tissue. The system includes a surgical robot with an end-effector configured to remove tissue along a path up to a planned boundary. A computing system interfaces with the surgical robot and includes one or more processors, non-transient storage memory, and software executable instructions. The computing system records deviations between the end-effector and the planned boundary while the end-effector removes tissue along the path during a first pass. The system then determines if the end-effector should perform a subsequent pass along at least a portion of the path based on the recorded deviations. A method for robotically resecting tissue along a path up to a planned boundary is also provided that determined on the recorded deviations, if the end-effector should perform a subsequent pass along at least a portion of the path.

  • Patent number: 12364290
    Abstract: A cartridge for an aerosol provision system can include the cartridge and a control unit, and the system can include a vaporizer for vaporizing an aerosolizable material. The cartridge can include an air channel extending from an air inlet for the cartridge to an outlet via an aerosol generation region, and a reservoir for containing aerosolizable material for aerosolizing. The cartridge can further include an aerosolizable material level observation means for allowing a user to observe a level of aerosolizable material inside the reservoir. The aerosolizable-material-level observation means can include at least one contoured surface located on a surface of the cartridge to improve the visibility of the aerosolizable material level inside the reservoir due to the interaction of light with the contoured surface.
