Patent number: 6928071Abstract: A communication control mechanism installable in the communications controller of an ISDN terminal adapter is operative to conduct in-band communications with its digital terminal device during an internet communication session between the digital terminal device and a digital communication network interface of an internet service provider. The terminal adapter monitors the data link establishment communication exchange between the network access server and the personal computer, to identify and capture internet protocol addresses for the digital terminal device and the network access interface. These addresses are then used by the terminal adapter to communicate in-band with the digital terminal device using user datagram protocol (UDP)-based messages.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2003Date of Patent: August 9, 2005Assignee: Adtran, Inc.Inventors: Kyle A. Farnsworth, C. Brian Goodwin, Lin Yow-Chern Chang

Patent number: 6625519Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting the dry-run operation of a submersible fuel pump operating in a network of fuel pumps is disclosed in which the pump controller is able to switch itself off upon detection of a dry-run condition. After shutting itself off, the pump controller can request assistance from another pump in the pump network. When fuel is added to the tank, the fuel pump controller will detect the presence of the fuel and reactivate the pump.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2001Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: Veeder-Root Company Inc.Inventors: Brian Goodwin, Jeff Caparoon

Patent number: 6377554Abstract: In a data communication system having a two or more channels of varying bandwidth and cost it is desirable to select a channel that meets data transfer needs and minimizes cost. In basic rate ISDN a D channel is typically used to provide low bandwidth service. When a user needs more bandwidth, the user switches to a B channel or two B channels. The automatic channel selection method and apparatus described provides a user with adjustable parameters to customize performance of a ISDN service unit. An anti-thrashing algorithm is provided to minimize frequent call setups and disconnects.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1998Date of Patent: April 23, 2002Assignee: Adtran, Inc.Inventors: Kyle A.

Patent number: 6192697Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining heat transfer in an environment. In one system, heat transfer is determined with a probe including at least one element, a power supply, an amplifier, a temperature monitor, a timing structure, and a system controller. In another system, heat transfer is determined with a temperature sampler. In yet another system, the heat transfer rate is controlled in at least a partially closed environment. The disclosed methods include a method for calculating heat transfer from a first predetermined temperature, a second predetermined temperature, measured time and temperature of the environment. In another method, heat transfer is calculated from a first determined temperature, a second measured temperature, a predetermined period of time, and temperature of the environment.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1999Date of Patent: February 27, 2001Assignee: The BOC Group, Inc.Inventors: Michael K. Sahm, David G. Wardle, Brian Goodwin

Patent number: 4901727Abstract: A catheter probe for use in the analysis of gases absorbed in liquids, particularly suitable for the in vivo analysis of blood gases, the probe includes an equilibration chamber disposed within the active length of the probe at the distal end of the probe and which is surrounded by a gas permeable membrane. A carrier gas is introduced into the probe and enters the equilibration chamber where the gas sought to be analyzed from the blood equilibrates with the carrier gas and forms a bolus of sample gas. That bolus is then caused to flow out of the probe to an analyzer. The equilibration chamber is formed of an elongated, tortuous path that allows a high surface area to unit volume ratio, that is, the ratio of the area of the equilibration chamber that is immediately beneath the gas permeable chamber to the volume of the flow path though the equilibration chamber is high. Preferable the equilibration chamber is formed as a spiral path.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1988Date of Patent: February 20, 1990Assignee: The BOC Group, Inc.Inventor: Brian Goodwin

Patent number: 4340615Abstract: A device in the form of a flexible intravascular probe for use in analyzing absorbed blood gases includes a gas-permeable membrane 10 comprising two layers in intimate contact and supporting each other. The permeability of the second layer 6 is significantly less than that of the first 5, and provides the desired permeability of the membrane 10 as a whole. The first layer 5 provides the desired mechanical compatibility and other properties of the membrane 10.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 1980Date of Patent: July 20, 1982Assignee: The Medishield Corporation LimitedInventors: Brian Goodwin, Peter Middleton

Patent number: 4244713Abstract: A gas permeable probe for use in the analysis of absorbed gases in liquids, notably in the blood, by mass spectroscopy, comprises a flexible plastics capillary tube fitted at one end with a plug of porous material and covered with a protective layer of polymeric material. The gas permeability of the porous plug is substantially less than that of the polymeric layer so that it is the plug which defines the gas flow from the liquid under test into the tube when the tube is evacuated.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 1978Date of Patent: January 13, 1981Assignee: The Medishield Corporation LimitedInventor: Brian Goodwin
