  • BUILDING SYSTEM WITH A TIME CORRELATED RELIABILITY DATA STREAM
    Publication number: 20240126220
    Abstract: A building system including one or more memory devices configured to store instructions that, when executed on one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to collect building device data of a building device, generate a time correlated data stream for a data point, and generate a time correlated reliability data stream for the data point. The building device data includes a plurality of data samples of the data point. The time correlated data stream includes values of the plurality of data samples of the data point. The time correlated reliability data stream includes a plurality of reliability values time correlated to corresponding values of the plurality of data samples of the data point and indicating reliability of the values of the plurality of data samples of the data point.

  • Garden sieve for wheelbarrow
    Patent number: 5622266
    Abstract: A garden sieve for a wheelbarrow has a collar frame adapted to conform to and fit loosely on the rim of a wheelbarrow. A sieve frame connected to the collar frame supports a wire screen adapted for sifting granular material. A motor can be connected between the wheelbarrow and the sieve to reciprocate the wire screen. The frame can include a partially removable gate for the removal of strained material and can include roller bearings to reduce friction between the sieve and the wheelbarrow.
