Patent number: 10724725Abstract: Disclosed is a laser-based device for use primarily for laser light effects. The laser device comprises multiple red, green, and blue lasers. Each laser has a lens to collimate and focus each individual beam. The lasers are aligned such that each laser shares a common output axis. The intensity of each laser is adjustable thereby allowing the overall output color of the device to change. The overall output has over 16 million colors. Each laser-based device has a gimbal-like system to allow the devices change their orientation. A remote control system allows for the control and synchronization of multiple devices. Multiple devices may connect to the remote control system using cables, wireless transceivers, or both. Multiple devices may be located in close proximity to create a more powerful overall output beam. The remote control system allows for viewer interaction through an application installed onto a personal communication device.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Inventors: Timothy Lee Anderson, Tomas Kovacs

Patent number: 9938656Abstract: Dryer appliances and methods for operating dryer appliances are provided. A method includes flowing internal air from a drum chamber through an outlet assembly of the dryer appliance, and selectively actuating a valve to flow external air to the outlet assembly of the dryer appliance from external to a cabinet of the dryer appliance. The method further includes alternately sensing open flow pressure values of the external air being flowed to the outlet assembly from external to the cabinet when the valve is open and closed flow pressure values of the external air being flowed to the outlet assembly from external to the cabinet when the valve is closed.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2015Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Haier US Appliance Solutions, Inc.Inventor: Timothy Lee Anderson
