Patent number: 10473711Abstract: A multi-channel device with a single diagnosis status pin may be configured to detect if one or more channels has a fault. The multi-channel device, which may operate within a system, can communicate which channel, of a plurality of channels, has the fault using only a single diagnosis status pin and no additional diagnosis control pins. The multi-channel device may output a fault signal on the diagnosis status pin and in response to an interrogation input signal on the same channel as a fault channel indicate to the system which channel is the fault channel.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2016Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Infineon Technologies AGInventors: Markus Ladurner, Albino Pidutti, Daniel Mayer

Patent number: 9092968Abstract: A system and method for verifying that an operator was sufficiently close to one or more items to be inspected during an inspection to actually inspect the components, and storing an indication to that effect in a memory accessible via a computer network. In addition to the indication, the memory can store other inspection related data, such as a starting time or ending time of the inspection, or maintenance information about the item that was input during the inspection. The system and method enable a third party application, such as an accounting program or a maintenance program, to access any of the inspection related data.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2013Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: ZONAR SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Brett Brinton, Charles Michael McQuade, William Brinton, Daniel Mayer, Eric Manegold, Richard Lugash, Robie Russell

Publication number: 20120129764Abstract: A synthesized or isolated influenza virus replication-inhibiting peptide that competitively inhibits protein-protein interaction of the PA and PB1 of both influenza Virus Types A and B and novel in vitro binding screen to identify peptides with antiviral activity against influenza viruses of both type A and B is disclosed. In addition to the well-known pandemic influenza A viruses (such as the 1918 “Spanish” flu or H5N1), both type A and B viruses contribute greatly to the annual recurring epidemics that cause the vast majority of human cases and medical cost. Surprisingly, it was found that the novel virus replication-inhibiting, are able to inhibit protein-protein interaction of the PA and PB1 subunits of the heterotrimeric viral RNA polymerase complex of both influenza virus types A and B.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2009Publication date: May 24, 2012Applicant: PIKE PHARMA GMBHInventors: Ulrich Kessler, Daniel Mayer, Kerstin Wunderlich, Charlene Rnadheera, Martin Schwemmle

Patent number: 8106757Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for validating that an operator has moved a portable device sufficiently close to an inspection point to enable the operator to perform an inspection. A first exemplary technique employs a first portable device that includes a sensor for detecting the inspection point, a speaker, and stored audible prompts to facilitate the inspection, but no display on which visual prompts for facilitating the inspection can be provided. An alternative second exemplary technique employs a second portable device having a sensor for detecting the inspection point, and a wireless transmitter. This second portable device generates and immediately transmits a signal to a remote receiver indicating that the operator has moved the portable device sufficiently close to the inspection point to enable the operator to perform the inspection. Accordingly, the second portable device need not include a memory for storing the signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2009Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Zonar Systems, Inc.Inventors: Brett Brinton, William Brinton, Jr., Daniel Mayer, Eric Manegold, Charles Michael McQuade

Patent number: 7944345Abstract: A handheld, portable device is used to store data that indicates an operator was sufficiently close to each of a plurality of components during a safety inspection to actually inspect the components. The portable device includes a sensor that detects tokens, such as radio frequency identification tags, which are affixed adjacent to the components. Messages appearing on a display of the portable device prompt the operator to proceed to each checkpoint, determine a state of the component disposed there, and if the component is not operating properly, indicate a plurality of predefined conditions from which the operator can choose to identify the observed condition of the component. The state and condition of each component entered during the safety inspection are stored as data that are subsequently transferred to a remote data storage site over a wire or wireless link.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2009Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Zonar Systems, Inc.Inventors: Brett Brinton, Charles Michael McQuade, William Brinton, Jr., Daniel Mayer, Eric Manegold, Richard Lugash, Robie G.

Patent number: 7808369Abstract: A method and apparatus to provide evidence that a person who is intended to make a required inspection was actually physically present at a predefined location associated with the inspection, so that the inspection could have been done, and if not, to provide an indication of the failure to perform the inspection. This invention is particularly well suited to determine if required pre/post-trip inspections of vehicles have been performed. Detecting a triggering condition, such as powering on (or off) equipment, indicates the beginning of a period of time during which the inspection is to be performed. The monitoring system waits for a predetermined event to occur, which indicates the period of time has expired and determines if data corresponding to the inspection have been received. If not, it is concluded that the inspection has not been performed.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2008Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Zonar Systems, Inc.Inventors: Brett Brinton, William Brinton, Jr., Daniel Mayer, Eric S.

Instrument And Method For Detecting And Reporting The Size Of Leaks In Hermetically Sealed Packaging
Publication number: 20080092635Abstract: An instrument for detecting leaks in a hermetically sealed package. The instrument includes (i) a hollow needle, (ii) a mass flow rate sensor in sealed fluid communication with the lumen defined by the hollow needle, and (iii) a vacuum pump. The vacuum pump is in fluid communication with the lumen defined by the needle for evacuating gas from the hermetically sealed package, and in fluid communication with the mass flow rate sensor for directing mass flow from the evacuated package into operable contact with the mass flow rate sensor so as to permit sensing of any continuing mass flow from the evacuated package. The instrument may further include an oxygen sensor, also in sealed fluid communication with the lumen defined by the hollow needle, for analyzing the oxygen concentration of the gas within the hermetically sealed package.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2005Publication date: April 24, 2008Applicant: Mocon, IncInventors: Daniel Mayer, Timothy Asheman -

Publication number: 20070047707Abstract: A federation of multinational PSTN, IP and cellular service providers coordinate their accounting by: populating a subscriber database of subscribers to one number services, a service providers database and a payments clearing database having amounts owed across the service providers based on the individual service provider's portion of pre-agreed payments for services; collecting accounting data from the service providers; updating the relevant databases with the data collected; and providing accounting data to the service providers and subscribers. Voice over IP service is applied to a cellular phone by selecting a compatible codec at peripheral gateways of IP network paths, thereby avoiding transcoding by a connecting multimedia terminal adapter.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2005Publication date: March 1, 2007Applicant: NET2PHONE, INC.Inventors: Daniel Mayer, Alan Staniforth

Publication number: 20070049329Abstract: A portable, multimedia terminal adapter cellular (MTAC) has input/outputs for a cellular phone, a PSTN, a cellular network, an IP network and a telephone, which may be integrated. The MTAC has a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) adapted for connection to both the IP network and the PSTN, and connects signaling, media and DC power with the cellular phone. A service platform determines operative presence of the cellular phone. Transcoding between the cellular network and the IP network is performed only by a codec of the cellular phone. The MTAC bridges the PSTN and the cellular phone without gateway functionality, and has gateway functionality that bridges the IP network and the cellular phone without transcoding.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2005Publication date: March 1, 2007Applicant: NET2PHONE, INC.Inventors: Daniel Mayer, Alan Staniforth
