Patent number: 10126348Abstract: A system for on-line bushing monitoring and geo-magnetically induced current monitoring utilizes a Hall Effect current transducer and obtains the harmonic component of the signals through the measurement of bushing test tap current which provides a more reliable measurement method since the bushings provide a capacitive voltage divider that is not subject to saturation which is a drawback of using current transformers to obtain the signals. The system combines the existing harmonic analysis functions of the bushing monitor measurement system with the measured neutral direct current to provide an economical and efficient system that monitors both bushing condition and GIC conditions with one common monitoring module.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2015Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: ZTZ Service International, Inc.Inventors: Zalya Berler, Vladimir Prykhodko, Joe Watson

Patent number: 9711063Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and devices for teaching the proper configuration of the oral articulators, particularly the tongue, corresponding to particular speech sounds by providing intraoral tactile feedback. Intraoral tactile feedback is achieved by placing nodes in the oral cavity of the patient in locations corresponding to the proper lingual position required to produce a target sound. These nodes facilitate identification of the appropriate lingual position corresponding to a target speech sound by providing tactile differentiation when the target sound is properly produced.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2016Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Speech Buddies, Inc.Inventors: David A.

Publication number: 20110107493Abstract: Baseball gloves with enhanced visual perceivability are described. In embodiments, the baseball glove comprises a glove body having visual indicia positioned on the glove body. The visual markers on the glove body can have a substantially contrasting color to that of the glove body. The color of the visual marker can also me substantially contrasting to the anticipated physical background of the wearer of the glove. The anticipated physical background may depend on the field position of the wearer of the baseball glove. The color of the visual markers may be selected to provide the maximum contrast between the anticipated physical background and the visual markers, thereby enhancing a fielder's ability to detect the glove using his or her peripheral vision.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2009Publication date: May 12, 2011Applicant: NIKE, INC.Inventors: Joe Watson, Alan W.
