Patent number: 11507859Abstract: In an example, a computer-implemented method to structure an analytical workflow that improves reasoning based on a problem context and demonstrated abilities of each individual user may include displaying a reasoning problem to an analyst. The method may include receiving input from the analyst to identify a reasoning problem type of the reasoning problem. providing a recommended analytic approach for the reasoning problem type to the analyst. The method may include assisting the analyst in analyzing and evaluating one or more information sources relevant to the reasoning problem. The method may include guiding the analyst through a structured technique (ST) to support reasoning of the analyst in formulation of a solution to the reasoning problem. The method may include generating a report that includes the analyst's solution to the reasoning problem based on input from the analyst.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignees: COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FOUNDATION, Syracuse University, The Arizona Board of Regent on Behalf of the University of ArizonaInventors: Jennifer Stromer-Galley, Brian McKernan, Patricia Rossini, Carsten Oesterlund, Lael Jeremy Schooler, James Eric Folkestad, Benjamin Clegg, Rosa Mikeal Martey, Kate Marian Kenski, Roc Aron Myers, Sarah M.

Patent number: 11344820Abstract: A system and method for concentrating wastewater with a heated gas is disclosed wherein a heated gas directed into a first wastewater heating chamber at a first velocity and a first wastewater stream is directed into the first wastewater heating chamber. A second wastewater heating chamber coupled to the first wastewater heating chamber and in fluid communication with the first wastewater heating chamber is disclosed. The wastewater streams and heated gas are propagated to optimize the water drop size within the heating chambers.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2021Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Purestream Services, LLCInventors: Benjamin Clegg, Neil Richardson, Ryan Mawson, Brian Busath

Publication number: 20050178283Abstract: A variably curved track-mounted amusement ride having, in a first embodiment, at least one outside curve and at least one inside curve, each lying substantially within a vertical plane and each having an axis of symmetry which is substantially horizontal. The vertical distance occupied by an outside curve is less than that occupied by an inside curve. The track can retain a cart which runs on the track no matter what the orientation of the body of the cart is with respect to the track. Any means that is well known in the art can be used to raise the cart to the beginning of the track. No portion of the track, except optionally the lowest level, lies directly below at least the farthest outside portion of an outside curve. A second embodiment has only outside curves.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2003Publication date: August 18, 2005Inventors: Stanley Checketts, Ned Hansen, Quin Checketts, Lawrence Allen, Dody Bachtar, Benjamin Clegg, Michael Winger

Patent number: 6857373Abstract: A variably curved track-mounted amusement ride having at least one outside curve and at least one inside curve, each lying substantially within a vertical plane and each having an axis of symmetry which is substantially horizontal. Preferably, the top curve is an outside curve; and preferably inside and outside curves alternate with each other. Also preferably, before the first curve, between each outside curve and each inside curve, and after the last curve is a substantially straight segment which slopes downward. The vertical distance occupied by an outside curve is less than that occupied by an inside curve. The track can retain a cart which runs on the track no matter what the orientation of the body of the cart is with respect to the track. Any means that is well known in the art can be used to raise the cart to the beginning of the track.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2002Date of Patent: February 22, 2005Inventors: Stanley J.
