  • Patent number: 12201248
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and tools for customizing shower panels to accommodate a variety of shapes and sizes of shower bases, where such methods and tools reduce installation steps. One exemplary method includes steps of using tools to trim a back shower panel, a first side shower panel, and a second side shower panel to conform to the contours of the top edges of a shower base. An exemplary assembly of tools used to perform described methods includes a plurality of contour gauge tools and a drain center groove. Each contour gauge tool includes a contoured edge, a slot formed through the contour gauge tool, and indicia formed on a surface of the contour gauge tool. The drain center tool includes a first groove, second groove intersecting the first groove and perpendicular to the first groove, and a tab extending upward of the top surface of the drain center tool.

  • Publication number: 20240417218
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of stair lift systems arranged such that a number of configurable subcomponents can be assembled to form a wide variety of stair lift systems that meet the spatial, dimensional, and physical arrangement of an equally wide variety of pre-existing stairways and staircases in residential and commercial settings. Each embodiment of a stair lift system is highly configurable, can generally be installed in one session, and provides enhanced and additional functionality as compared to prior art stair lift systems. A stair lift system generally comprises a modular and configurable rail assembly, a plurality of modular and configurable post assemblies for securing the rail assembly to the pre-existing staircase, and a chair that engages with and traverses the modular rail assembly to move a user up and down the staircase.

  • Publication number: 20240336349
    Abstract: A robust control method for an oblique flying wing aircraft includes computing an angular velocity error between a reference angular velocity and an actual angular velocity and computing a moment command with an angular velocity controller based at least in part on the angular velocity error. The angular velocity controller decouples two or more of a yaw rate axis, a pitch rate axis, and a roll rate axis of the asymmetric aircraft for the moment command.

  • Publication number: 20240330526
    Abstract: Computer-aided design of water treatment systems assesses very large numbers of variables and conditions to facilitate water treatment system recommendations. In an embodiment, field engineers or sales representatives at virtually any level of experience can take water samples and gather site data on a customer's site and input the sample data and the site data to a computing system, which may be a standalone portable device or may be a portable device connected via a network or the cloud to a central computing system.

  • Publication number: 20240251998
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a number of embodiments of modular shower base kits comprised of various configurable and compatible components. Examples of such configurable and compatible components include shower bases and shower perimeter components. The shower perimeter components are arranged to attach to edges of a shower base and subsequently secure the shower base to various shower enclosures such as panels, walls, doors, etc. In one example, each shower base includes an integrated threshold along one edge of the shower base. In another example, a shower base kit includes multiple independent thresholds that are arranged to be selectively attached to the shower base. Such attachment is facilitated by a threshold brackets and threshold gaskets.

  • Publication number: 20240198938
    Abstract: Methods, computing systems, and technology for automated vehicle action generation are presented. For example, a computing system may generate content for presentation to a user via a user interface of a display device. The content may include user interface elements for inputting one or more triggering conditions associated with a vehicle function of a vehicle and one or more settings of the vehicle function. The computing system may receive, via the user interface, data indicative of user input specifying the triggering conditions and data indicative of user input specifying the settings of the vehicle function. The computing system may determine an automated vehicle action that defines a relationship between the triggering conditions and the settings of the vehicle function. The computing system may output command instructions for the vehicle to implement the automated vehicle action for automatically controlling the vehicle function based on whether the vehicle detects the triggering conditions.

  • Patent number: 11930243
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may provide a system that enables game play or other application sessions from a set of candidate game hosts and environments to consumption devices of a user's choice while the user moves about their home between the different environments. The system may employ methods to determine where a user is located within the home, availability and selection of candidate game hosting and target environments, homing and direction of related I/O and audio-visual (AV) content for consumption. The solution accommodates multiple users simultaneously within the home, whether in single player, multiplayer using the same screen, or multiplayer using separate screen games. The solution may configure AV and input/output (I/O) such that multiple users can consume one or multiple games in the home simultaneously, whether in separate locations or when seated together in front of the same consumption device.

  • Patent number: 11799921
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may provide a system that enables determining, for each respective content component of a streaming session, a host device for displaying the respective content component. The system may utilize user, content, and device context to orchestrate content components across all connected displays to maximize the collective user experience across all users in an environment. Inputs may be provided to a machine learning model that considers every possible layout combination of content components on a one or more host devices and outputs potential layouts for the one or more host devices. The potential layouts may be sorted by confidence and one layout selected for each of the one or more host devices.
