Publication number: 20220357062Abstract: Methods and apparatus to monitor environmental conditions and reduce condensation are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first sensor system to measure a first temperature in a first area and a second sensor system to measure a second temperature in a second area adjacent to the first area. The first area being separated from the second area by a door. A controller has at least one memory, instructions, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to at least: compare the first temperature and the second temperature; determine if a temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature exceeds a temperature threshold; and in response to determining that the temperature difference does not exceed the temperature threshold, deactivate a fan located in the first area.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Ryan Beggs, Steven Hart Campbell

Publication number: 20220356758Abstract: Methods and apparatus to operate powered doors are disclosed. A door system includes a panel, and a track including a first track wall and a second track wall opposite the first track wall. The first and second track walls define a channel therebetween. A lateral edge of the panel is to move along the channel as the panel moves between a closed position and an open position. The door system further includes a first refeed block to be aligned with the first track wall. The first refeed block is to extend a first distance above the first track wall. The door system also includes a second refeed block to be aligned with the second track wall. The second refeed block is to extend a second distance above the second track wall. The first distance greater than the second distance.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Derek Lewan, Steven Hart Campbell, Michael Moore, Thomas Jansen, Thomas Leibfried, Ryan Pfaff, Perry Knutson

Publication number: 20210338949Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, apparatuses, and methods for assembling cartridges for aerosol delivery devices. The cartridges may be assembled by transporting carriages between various substations at which parts are added to a base. In another assembly method, the base may be moved between a plurality of robots which direct the base downwardly into contact with components to couple the components therewith. An inspection system may inspect the cartridges at various stages of completion.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2021Publication date: November 4, 2021Inventors: Frederic Philippe Ampolini, Timothy Brian Nestor, Jack Gray Flinchum, JR., Wayne Douglas Brown, Nicholas Harrison Watson, Charles Jacob Novak, III, Paul Andrew Brinkley, James Robert Covino, John DePiano, Edward Louis Dickinson, Eugene R.
