Publication number: 20240104878Abstract: A system for automatically associating an image with an asset tag which includes a historian server system. A path command is sent to a mobile asset, the path command comprising instructions that enable the mobile asset to travel along a path to an instrumented asset. A collection command is sent to the mobile asset to collect asset data comprising a digital representation of the instrumented asset and send the asset data to one or more computers. The asset data can also comprise an instrument asset identification, one or more instrument data values indicative of a physical parameter of the instrumented asset, and a time stamp comprising an approximate time of collection command execution. The system generates a tag value comprising an asset link between the one or more instrument data values, the instrument identification, and the time stamp.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Arijeet Majumdar, John Leighton, Shreeya Mody, Karan Zavar

Patent number: 11914402Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to dynamic power curve throttling. In an exemplary embodiment, a computer-implemented method for enabling dynamic throttling of an engine includes graphically displaying a graph of a linear throttle line for the engine including an idle speed in revolutions per minute (RPM) and one or more operating speeds in revolutions per minute; using a graphical user interface to alter the linear throttling line into a non-linear dynamic throttling line; and generating a table based on the non-linear dynamic throttling line, the table including dynamic throttle increments that vary based on RPM and that are usable by a controller for dynamic throttling of the engine.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Cattron North America, Inc.Inventors: Brett Allen Davis, James Leighton Staggs, John Edward Geertsema, Jr.

Patent number: 11044753Abstract: A system for transmitting data over a communication network operating in an Ethernet or serial communication mode, where an Ethernet or serial cable is replaced by radios transmitting over an over-the-air radio link. The system includes computer processors that receive the data and assemble that data into smaller OTA data packets for delivery across the link and operating protocols that provide collision avoidance of OTA packets transmitted in an overlapping manner by radios on opposite sides of the over-the-air link. In a preferred mode the system operates in the 902-928 MHz ISM band, and the data being transmitted over distances much greater than for 2.4 GHz transmission.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2019Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: QTS Holdings, LLCInventors: John Leighton, Robert Baranowski

Patent number: 8342545Abstract: A forward moving powered cart configured to receive a bundle of roof decking sheets, and which cart rides on the each of three spaced adjacent trusses after being crane lifted onto the said roof trusses. The cart has two sets of spaced casters that ride on the 1st and 3rd truss, while a safety truck on the cart designed to prevent slippage from the two trusses upon which its two sets of casters ride, engages the middle truss of the three. Sheets are removed from the rear for placement and post installation, the cart is moved forwardly an incremental amount.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2011Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Inventor: John Leighton Mayo

Publication number: 20050255067Abstract: The present invention relates to a hair fixative film, which contains a natural and/or synthetic polymer as the main component and a method of applying said film to hair. Such film is useful in maintaining a desired look and style of hair. Furthermore, the film is beneficial because it enables the combination of ingredients that are incompatible in other application forms.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2004Publication date: November 17, 2005Inventors: John Leighton, Michael Philbin

Publication number: 20050168860Abstract: A preamplifier circuit is connected to a transducing head, and has integrated bias circuitry and offset recovery circuitry. The offset recovery circuitry is activated in response to a transition from write mode to read more to provide an output signal representative of a signal across the transducing head. The bias circuitry is driven by the output signal of the offset recovery circuitry to bias the transducing head.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2004Publication date: August 4, 2005Inventors: Jeffrey Gleason, John Leighton, Scott O'Brien

Patent number: 5976287Abstract: An apparatus and method for setting the upstand height of the studs of an array of studs used to form antenna panels is disclosed. The apparatus includes a transducer beam having a row of spaced-apart distance transducers. The apparatus also includes an actuator beam having a row of spaced rotary actuators. The actuators rotate the threaded studs to raise or lower the studs until the corresponding transducer indicates that the stud has achieved an intended height. Also disclosed is a method using an array of laser diodes, rather than the transducer beam, arranged at one end of the base plate and an array of photo diodes at the opposite end. The output of the diodes indicates the height of the studs.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 1996Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research OrganisationInventors: Barry Frederick Parsons, Stephen John Barker, Donald Edward Yabsley, Michael John Leighton Kesteven, Trevor Stanley Bird, Vincent Miguel Harrigan, deceased

Patent number: 5821148Abstract: The present invention implements a novel emitter scheme that maximizes the emitter perimeter to emitter area ratio of an integrated circuit transistor, thereby achieving improved low noise characteristics over the prior art. Emitter regions are disposed in the transistor in discrete "dotted " segments. The dotted emitter segments may be realized by etching into emitter regions defined by an appropriately formed photoresistive overlay, which can be modified without fabrication process changes. The effect is to reduce the total emitter area by half, while maintaining the total emitter perimeter unchanged. As a result, the noise-capacitance product of the transistor is reduced, improving the overall performance of the transistor.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 1996Date of Patent: October 13, 1998Assignee: VTC Inc.Inventors: John Leighton, John Shier

Patent number: 4996045Abstract: Improved hair fixative compositions are prepared from copolymers containing specific alpha-aminoethylenephosphonate betaine monomers. The resulting fixative compositions exhibit an enhanced tolerance of non-halogenated hydrocarbons, yet also exhibit a high degree of shampoo removability, making them particularly useful in aerosol formulations using non-halogenated hydrocarbon propellants.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 1988Date of Patent: February 26, 1991Assignee: National Starch and Chemical Investment Holding CorporationInventors: John Leighton, Carmine Iovine
