Patent number: 11929741Abstract: An inverter logic circuit includes a bipolar junction transistor and a zener diode. The zener diode is connected between the base of the bipolar junction transistor and ground (or other reference voltage). The zener diode is reverse biased such that a leakage current through the zener diode allows for sufficient current through the emitter-base terminals of the bipolar junction transistor when a voltage is applied across the emitter and base terminals of the bipolar junction transistor to turn the transistor ON in the absence of an external signal to the base. As such the bipolar junction transistor functions as a normally ON bipolar junction transistor.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Search For The Next LtdInventors: David Summerland, Roger Light, Luke Knight

Patent number: 11686083Abstract: The present technology relates generally to a platform and concrete composite slab system used as a building material. A platform, is formed from joined, substantially coplanar boards with connector plates partially embedded between the boards such that a portion of the connector plates extend above the platform's top surface. A reinforcing material (e.g., wire mesh and/or rebar) can be arranged on the prongs or other portion of the connector plates spaced above the platform and concrete is poured over the reinforcing material and allowed to cure, forming a reinforced concrete layer that encases the connector plates and reinforcing material. The connector plates act as standoffs and help to suspend the reinforcing material in the middle of the concrete layer to increase the strength of the reinforced concrete and to fixedly anchor and bind the concrete layer to the platform, so as to establish a composite action between the platform and the concrete.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Global Bamboo Technologies Inc.Inventors: Leland Slaven, Jr., David Knight

Patent number: 11175116Abstract: A vegetable cane fiber ballistic impact panel and process of manufacturing the ballistic panel. The ballistic panel includes a plurality of vegetable cane fibers (e.g., bamboo fibers) impregnated with a polymer. The vegetable cane fibers are formed into mats of interconnected and entangled fibers and the polymer is formed into polymer films. The polymer films and mats are arranged into a layered assembly having an alternating arrangement and pressed together. The layered assembly is heated to soften the polymer and allow it to flow around the vegetable cane fibers to impregnate the vegetable cane fibers and then cooled. The vegetable cane fibers are generally uniformly distributed through the entire thickness of the panel and vegetable cane fibers originally formed within different mats are entangled with each other.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2018Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: Resource Fiber LLCInventors: Leland Slaven, Jr., David Knight

Patent number: 11073010Abstract: A downhole valve assembly comprises a sleeve concentric with a housing and movable relative to a port through the housing to control flow of fluid through the port. A sensor assembly provides indicates the relative positions of the sleeve and housing, and comprises first and second sensors on e.g. the housing which detect markers on e.g. the sleeve. The sensor outputs are produced by processing (e.g. combining, integrating, summing, subtracting or otherwise processing) the signal components of each of the first and second sensors to correct for misalignment of the sleeve with the housing. The sensor output provides position information for more than one plane, and the output signal therefore allows for correction of errors in the position information arising from misalignment of the sleeve with the housing.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2018Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Weatherford Technology Holdings, LLCInventor: Matthew David Knight

Patent number: 11035997Abstract: A light-emitting indicator can include a molded, transparent housing formed with a central area shaped as a square that extends in a plane. A plurality of light emitting diodes, optionally formed integrally with the housing, can be positioned along edges of a square that surrounds the central area. The light emitting diodes can emit light to propagate inside the housing toward the central area. A light guide, optionally formed integrally with the housing, can be positioned in a peripheral area shaped to include an area between two concentric squares that surround the central area. The light guide can direct the emitted light out of the plane. Control circuitry can be positioned along the edges of the square that includes the light emitting diodes. The control circuitry can cause the light emitting diodes to blink at a specified frequency, which can draw the attention of a user.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2017Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: David Knight Norrie, Mark Robert Forsyth Smith
