Publication number: 20260175108Abstract: A connected fitness platform can determine members are recognized during a live class or other live event, and seamlessly perform actions in response to or along with the recognition. The platform may determine a user or member is being recognized by an instructor or leader of the class/event, such as by tokenizing usernames and utilizing a semantic database to match or identify members represented by the usernames. The platform may then perform actions for the identified members.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2026Publication date: June 25, 2026Inventors: Ashay KHANDELWAL, Kiran HEMARAJ, Kenny KANG, Michael LAI, Nelson NGUYEN, Sunil PATIL

Patent number: 12644639Abstract: A storage system for a refrigerator includes a drawer, a rail, a cap, and a clip. The drawer has a frame and a bin removably disposed on top of the frame. The rail is movably secured to the frame such that the drawer is operable to transition between deployed and stowed positions. The cap is disposed along an end of the rail and defines a recess extending laterally inward therefrom. The clip extends downward from the frame and comprises a laterally extending protrusion. The laterally extending protrusion extends into the recess and engages the cap within the recess to secure the frame to the rail and restrict lateral movement of the frame relative to the rail.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2024Date of Patent: June 2, 2026Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Gowardhan Parikshit, Sunil Patil, Ryan Post, Lalit Suryawanshi

Publication number: 20260147599Abstract: A method of scaling open-source container orchestration platforms is provided. The open-source container orchestration platform has a first plane that is associated with regional agents each having an object group is provided. A second plane is associated with each object group where the object groups have a pod group. Each pod group has an availability zone divided into sub-availability zones where the availability zones are associated with the second plane. Each of the availability zones has a first sub-availability zone configured to substitute functionality of a second sub-availability zone of the availability zones when the second sub-availability zone becomes non-functional. Moreover, each of the availability zones can be further subdivided to include additional sub-availability zones when demand increases thereby scaling an open-source container orchestration platform implementing the availability zones.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2024Publication date: May 28, 2026Inventors: Prachetaa Raghavan, Ajit Yagaty, Roger Hoover, Godwin Pang, Sahil Gandhi, Thomas Snyder, Sunil Patil, Deyu Jiao, Rajesh RC
