  • Publication number: 20240164615
    Abstract: An industrial hanging magnetic sweeper apparatus auto clean-off, side shift and height adjustment features. The magnetic sweeper apparatus mounts to an industrial vehicle using chains and maintains multiple points of contact. This allows movement of the apparatus independently from the vehicle which reduces damage to the apparatus and the vehicle in the case of incidental ground contact. The apparatus includes a hydraulic side shift of the magnet allowing debris to be collected from outside the primary mover track width. The apparatus also allows for height adjustment on each individual side. Two top links, one for each side, can adjust the sweeping height of the magnetic sweeper for optimal pickup performance.

  • Publication number: 20240165636
    Abstract: A front mount mechano-hydraulic magnetic sweeper apparatus having a debris collection and retention system. The magnetic sweeper apparatus addresses ferrous debris pickup with ground tracking capabilities ahead of its swept path. The magnetic sweeper apparatus features a large magnet hanging out-front of the vehicle or primary mover, which allows for ferrous debris pickup and retention utilizing complete wrap around technology. Objects as small as paperclips, up to large items like rail spikes and steel axles, are able to be safely retrieved and retained beneath the magnet. Obstructions such as sharp ramps, speedbumps, potholes, small curbs, ruts, and other rough terrain can be traversed without having to sacrifice lifting the magnet which reduces magnetic performance. A quadric cycle chain mechanism allows for magnet clean off and debris storage in a smooth and controlled motion.

  • Publication number: 20240159004
    Abstract: A gravity clean-off magnetic sweeper apparatus that connects to the front of industrial equipment or industrial vehicles where a bucket would normally go. The magnetic sweeper is lifted off the ground slightly and driven around an area to pick up metal debris. The collected debris is then cleaned off of the bottom of the invention by lifting it with the machine and pivoting it downward. As the magnetic sweeper is pivoted downward, the mass of the magnets, which is greater than its attraction force to the metal debris attached to the pan in between the magnet and the debris, allows the magnet to hang vertically, as the pan is forced away from the magnet. This removes the metal debris away from the magnetic field and allows it to fall from the magnetic sweeper.

  • Patent number: 11950966
    Abstract: Surgical tools and assemblies are employed for use in minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedures. A surgical tool assembly includes a handle assembly and a frame assembly. The handle assembly and frame assembly are designed and constructed to have an articulation input joint and a grounding joint between them. A pitch rotational degree of freedom and a yaw rotational degree of freedom are provided by way of the articulation input joint. The handle assembly is translationally constrained relative to the frame assembly by way of the grounding joint. Intermediate bodies and joints can be provided in certain surgical tool assemblies and architectures.

  • Patent number: 11671320
    Abstract: One or more virtual supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) controllers are provided. The virtual SCADA controller(s) may be deployed upon a detection of a failure of a physical SCADA controller. An on-site module may detect failure including a security breach which causes the physical SCADA controller to be disconnected from a network and the virtual SCADA controller(s) to take over control. The virtual SCADA controller(s) may be on-site or off-site.

  • Publication number: 20220050697
    Abstract: Whether testing intrusion detection systems, conducting training exercises, or creating data sets to be used by the broader cybersecurity community, realistic user behavior is a desirable component of a cyber-range. Existing methods either rely on network level data or replay recorded user actions to approximate real users in a network. Probabilistic models can be fit to actual user data (sequences of application usage) collected from endpoints. Once trained to the user's behavioral data, these models can generate novel sequences of actions from the same distribution as the training data. These sequences of actions can be fed to emulator software via configuration files, which replicate those behaviors on end devices. The models are platform agnostic and can generate behavior data for any emulation software package. In some embodiments a latent variable is added to faithfully capture and leverage time-of-day trends.
