Patent number: 7592887Abstract: Waveguide flanges for joining waveguide sections or components are designed to achieve mechanical strength and exhibit desired electrical properties such as relatively low insertion loss and high return loss. The present invention contemplates waveguide interfaces with a new choke flange designed to engage with a shield flange and provide a joint with improved electrical properties. The new choke designs produce a virtual continuity through the waveguide joints and minimize electrical energy leakage. The electrical and mechanical properties of the joint in the waveguide interfaces are robust and able to tolerate lower levels of parts precision, imperfect mating of the flanges without metal-to-metal contact and gaps up to 0.06? or more between the mating flange surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2006Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Harris Stratex Networks Operating CorporationInventors: Yen-Fang Chao, Bruce Corkill, Eric Tiongson, John Ruiz

Patent number: 6796405Abstract: A ventilated brake rotor having vents disposed between two discs. The vents are defined by an adjacent pair of vanes distributed around the first disc and disposed below the second disc. Each vane is defined by a camber. The camber, in turn, is parallel to a curve that is defined by two camber lines. The curve is tangent to the leading end of a first camber line and tangent to a trailing end of the second camber line. The first and the second camber lines intersect where the first camber line is defined from a point on the interior radius of one of the two discs that intersects a datum. Moreover, the first camber line extends at a throat angle from the datum.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 1999Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Stop Technologies LLCInventor: Stephen John Ruiz

Patent number: 5916306Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the performance of Building Environmental Control networks by efficiently storing network routing information and by checking that the data exchanged between two computer applications operating on the network is consistent. The present invention efficiently stores network routing information by having the Building Environmental control network routers only store routing information when that router acts as a bridge for communicating that message further downstream. The present invention also checks that the exchange of data between two building environmental control applications is done by forming a special identifier from the existing data and using that identifier to validate data exchanges. The special identifier is formed by segmenting one field found within the data and having a portion of that segmented field be indicative of the identifying name of the data.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1996Date of Patent: June 29, 1999Assignee: Johnson Controls TechnologyInventor: John Ruiz

Patent number: 5754767Abstract: A method for determining the physical locations of devices located on a series connected network. A mapper routine located on the network severs a device from the network and then requests each device to respond with its respective node address to the mapper. Upon receiving the responses, the severed device is reattached to the network. This severing, requesting, and reattaching is performed for each remaining device on the network. The mapper routine determines the physical location of each device by correlating what responses from the devices were generated for which severed devices.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 1996Date of Patent: May 19, 1998Assignee: Johnson Service CompanyInventor: John Ruiz
