Publication number: 20240151280Abstract: A method for effecting efficient engagement of a clutch to interconnect an engine and an implement which monitors operational parameters of the engine and implement and determines from those operational parameters at least two ramp rates for the application of hydraulic pressure to the clutch. The hydraulic pressure is applied at a first ramp rate to the clutch for a first period and applied at a second ramp rate to the clutch for a second period. A determination is made from the relationship between the input and output speeds of the clutch whether the clutch is fully engaged. If it is not fully engaged, clutch pressure is released and the ramp rates are reevaluated and reset. They are then sequentially applied for the first and second periods. The process repeats until full engagement is achieved or a determination is made that full engagement cannot be achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2021Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Brian James Peet, Ian Patrick Kay, John George Stratigakis

Patent number: 11976468Abstract: The top surface of an insert abuts with a form, with a tube extending into an aperture and sliding on a form post in the form. A rod inserted through the form, form post and tube holds the insert in place while castable material is poured in. The form is inverted with the guard rail base inside, the rod can be slid out of the form, and the form is removed. The handle is gripped by a claw on the obtuse angled chassis of a transporter. A handle on the chassis can be pushed to raise the guard rail base and to move the guard rail base on the surface by wheels. The guard rail base can be placed upon a pad having notches in its border.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: GARLOCK SAFETY SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Robert James Olson, Brian Thomas Simmons, Richard B.

Patent number: 11979410Abstract: Methods and systems provide for multi-factor authentication (MFA) of a user to a device or network in which a criteria for maintaining the authentication is based on the presence of the user before a device. After the user is authenticated and provided with access, a continuity criteria (i.e., a measure of the presence of the user before the device) must be fulfilled for that access to be maintained. When it is determined that the continuity requirement is not fulfilled, an aspect of the access is denied. A continuity criteria may be based on the location of a second computing device with respect to a first computing device. And multiple methods of determining continuity may be employed simultaneously, with access being denied when continuity is fulfilled by none of the methods.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2023Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Lookout, Inc.Inventors: Tyler Croak, Brian James Buck, Pritesh Kasliwal

Publication number: 20240147594Abstract: Timing adjustment for accurate zero-crossing determination includes obtaining time offset(s) representing amounts of time between (i) zero-crossings of an input signal waveform, representative of an input AC waveform, input to a zero-crossing detector circuit and (ii) corresponding transitions of an output signal from an output of the circuit to a microcontroller, and determining times of the zero-crossings of the input AC waveform, which includes determining times of the corresponding transitions as detected by the microcontroller and adjusting the determined times using the time offset(s) to produce the times of the zero-crossings of the input AC waveform. In another aspect, input AC frequency is determined by determining pulse width(s) of pulse(s) of the output signal, and adjusting a half-cycle time corresponding to the pulse width(s) using the time offset(s) to provide a duration of half-cycles of the input AC waveform and inform a frequency of the input AC waveform.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Brian Anthony YOKUM, Ronald James GUMINA

Patent number: 11971871Abstract: A system that operates responsive to data bearing records is operative to extract selected data from records related to structures that are included in a property record system (PRS) (12). The extracted record data is used to resolve outline data for corresponding structures and associated parcel and other data through operation of record analysis system (RAS) circuitry (38). The RAS circuitry is operative to acquire georeferenced data records regarding parcels and structures from at least one georeferenced record system (GRS) (26, 32). The RAS circuitry is operative to determine conditions where GRS record data indicates the presence of structures that are absent from PRS records, as well as structures that have various levels of correspondence with the sketch data in data bearing records included in the PRS records.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2020Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: SKETCH ALIGN, INC.Inventors: Brian N. Kienle, David James Priest
