Patent number: 8000074Abstract: An electrical power distribution system for connecting an electrical device to a source of electrical power and disconnecting the electrical device therefrom. The system includes a PCD tag associated with the electrical device, and a PCD reader associated with a receptacle electrically connectable to the source of electrical power. The PCD tag has a PCD tag memory in which data related to the electrical device is stored in a format readable by the PCD reader, the data including an electrical device load rating. The system also has a switch device for connecting and disconnecting the receptacle to the power source. In addition, the system has a measuring device for measuring actual load and a control circuit for comparing actual load to the electrical device load rating. The control circuit provides a disconnect signal to the switch device upon the actual load exceeding the electrical device load rating.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2005Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: 2D2C, Inc.Inventors: Nicolas Jones, Steve Montgomery, Richard Simpson, Gregory Baker

Publication number: 20070067712Abstract: A system, method and program product for creating a customized content viewer portlet from a content viewer portlet template. The system comprises a content viewer portlet template that is imported into a workbench. The content viewer portlet template includes a persistent interface component, a model component, a view component and a controller component. The persistent interface component is configured to connect to and retrieve data from a content management system, with the retrieved data being stored in the model component. The view component is configured to retrieve the data from the model component and to display the data as content items. The controller component is configured to invoke methods to be executed by the persistent interface component and the view component in response to a user request, such that the content viewer portlet template is transformed into the customized content viewer portlet that can be installed into a desired portal.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2005Publication date: March 22, 2007Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gregory Baker, Donald Bell, Yixing Gong

Publication number: 20060184486Abstract: In a method and computer-implemented system of modular instruction a body of knowledge is divided into cognitive constructs, with instructional materials and post-instruction assessments being associated with each of the cognitive constructs and comprising a learning packet. The instructional material associated with each learning packet is presented to a student, followed by the post-instruction assessment associated with each learning packet. A result of the post-instruction assessment is compared to a pre-defined standard for that learning packet to determine whether the instructional material associated with another learning packet should be presented to the student, or if the instructional material associated with the current learning packet should be presented again to the student. The learning packets can be presented in default sequence or they can be reordered and presented in a user-selected sequence, and all or only a portion of the learning packets can be presented to the student.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2006Publication date: August 17, 2006Applicant: The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Inventors: David Taggart, Gregory Baker, Richard Dobbs, Richard Patz

Publication number: 20060172431Abstract: A light modifying ceramic composition comprises an oxygen permeable sol-gel matrix and a lumophore held on the matrix. In particular, the lumophore of the invention is a hexanuclear molybdenum/tungsten core having 12 anionic ligands and two ligands that are uncharged. Uncharged ligands include organic nitrites, organic phosphines, and organic arsines. In one embodiment, the ceramic composition containing the lumophore and the sol-gel matrix is applied to the end of an optical fiber to provide a remote oxygen sensor. The sensors are useful for in situ biological monitoring of oxygen either in vivo or in vitro, and in time dependent control of combustion processes such as an automobile or power plant.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2006Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventors: Gregory Baker, Ruby Ghosh, D.

Publication number: 20040233105Abstract: A system and method for central association and tracking for PCL applications is disclosed. Detection reports are received at a target tracking processing system. The detection reports include measurements correlating to line tracks associated with target echoes in earlier processing operations. In addition, other information, such as parameters and observables, are received by the target track processing system. The target track processing system performs a line track association function and a track filtering function on the line tracks according to the measurements within the detection reports. These operations also predict and estimate target parameters for tracking. Target parameters are extrapolated from the propagated and updated target tracks, and fed to a display for a user, or back into the PCL system for further processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2004Publication date: November 25, 2004Applicant: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Robert H. Benner, Gregory Baker, Jon S. Rucker

Patent number: 6801161Abstract: The present invention describes a space-time adaptive processing (STAP) system and method combining adaptive processing with automatic phase calibration providing an improved signal-to-noise ratio of a received signal. The adaptive processing is accomplished by calculating a reduced rank approximation of a factorization of a covariance matrix via a partial singular value decomposition of the data matrix. According to the present invention, the calculation of a white noise gain constraint does not require knowledge or estimation of the noise floor. Automatic phase calibration using the signal data as the calibration source combined with the adaptive processing according to the present invention provides and enhance signal-to-noise ratio and clutter suppression.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2002Date of Patent: October 5, 2004Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Norman A. Lehtomaki, Gregory A. Baker, Dwight Divine, III

Patent number: 6697012Abstract: A system and method for detecting and tracking a target object, including the calculation of the target object's altitude, is disclosed. During the processing of signals received by a receiver, the system selectively calculates the altitude of the target object from signals modified by an interference effect pattern formed by the signals broadcast by a transmitter, or from the calculation of geometric shapes associated with three or more transmitters and determining the intersection point of those shapes.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2002Date of Patent: February 24, 2004Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Richard A.

Patent number: 6566409Abstract: A lock unimolecular micelle includes at least one engineered acceptor specifically binding a ligand (or specifically a “key” unimolecular micelle) thereto. A key unimolecular micelle comprises a core molecule and a plurality of branches extending therefrom, at least one of the branches including a shank portion extending therefrom having a terminal moiety at an end thereof for binding to a complimentary acceptor of a lock unimolecular micelle. Together, the lock and key micelles form a unit, either irreversibly or reversibly bound wherein the lock micelles is a soluble receptor engineered to specifically bind to the specifically engineered key micelle.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2000Date of Patent: May 20, 2003Assignee: University of South FloridaInventors: George R.
