Patent number: 8928487Abstract: An adjustable occupancy sensor capable of being secured to a light fixture includes a housing having a side and a bottom, a sensor assembly attached to the housing at the bottom of the housing, and an adjustable mounting assembly provided on the side of the housing. The adjustable mounting assembly includes a slot defined in the side of the housing and a track having a plurality of segments extending along the length of the track. The track is configured to be releasably secured to the side of the housing within the slot, the plurality of segments being configured to be breakable from the track to adjust a length of the track. The adjustable mounting assembly further includes a connector molded or otherwise secured to the track to connect the housing of the adjustable occupancy sensor to the light fixture. Other embodiments and methods are disclosed herein.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2010Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Schneider Electric USA, Inc.Inventors: John W. Dyer, James V. Olson

Patent number: 8908355Abstract: A combination emergency panelboard includes a relay section and a circuit-breaker section. The relay section includes automatic load control relays and the circuit-breaker section includes emergency circuit breakers. A dielectric barrier is positioned between the relay and circuit-breaker sections to separate them. A busbar is positioned in the circuit-breaker section for distributing a phase of emergency current to a plurality of emergency circuit breakers coupled thereto. A plurality of automatic load control relays is positioned in the relay section. Each of the relays is electrically connected to a respective one of the plurality of emergency circuit breakers for distributing the phase of emergency current to a respective load.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2012Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Schneider Electric USA, Inc.Inventors: Heath L. Martin, Scott Jordan, John W. Dyer

Patent number: 8713048Abstract: Queries targeting various data sources are processed in a query processing pipeline that parses the query into a set of operations (e.g., an expression tree or a translated SQL query) using a set of query operators, each handling a particular type of operation. The query operators are often designed in an unspecialized manner, such that each query operator handles one query operation in an atomic, generic manner (e.g., sorting generic data items for an ORDER BY clause.) More efficient queries may be devised by including specialized queries that operate in common but special cases, such as a sorting of a particular data type (e.g., a floating-point number sort) or a sequence of two or more operations that are often performed together (e.g., a WHERE test of an attribute followed by a SELECT of the same attribute.) The use of specialized operators may result in the formulation of more efficient queries.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2008Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Erik Meijer, Mads Torgersen, Anders Hejlsberg, Matthew J. Warren, John W. Dyer

Patent number: 8364750Abstract: The utilization of data services (such as web services) may involve the invocation of services, which may reduce performance and overburden the server. In some scenarios, the invocation may be specified in a language that does not support batch invocation, but it may not be feasible to re-code the invocations in a language that supports batching. Instead, the service invocations may be automatically translated into a batch logic specified in a batch-capable language and sent to the service as a batch. For example, a local proxy may receive a language-integrated query having two or more service invocations, compile the query into an expression tree including the two or more invocations, and send the expression tree to the service host to achieve the batch processing of the service invocations.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2008Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Luca Bolognese, Lucas James Hoban, Erik Meijer, Anders Hejlsberg, Matthew J.

Patent number: 6904226Abstract: A method of preparing a coated optical fiber for coupling to a face of an optical device includes placing the coated fiber so that it extends through a stripping station, a cleaning station and a cleaving station. A stripper at the stripping station is brought into engagement with the fiber and relative motion between the fiber and the stripping station, the cleaning station and the cleaving station is effected lengthwise of the fiber, whereby the coating is stripped from a medial length segment of the fiber as the cleaning device at the cleaning station is activated for cleaning fragments of coating material from the medial length segment of the fiber as the medial length segment passes through the cleaning station and the cleaning device is deactivated and stripping is discontinued.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2002Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Inventors: David A. Kritler, Warren R. Hill, Frederic Campbell Schildmeyer, Christiaan Johannes Brokke, Francis Martin Ernest Sladen, Damien Slevin, John W. Dyer

Patent number: 5352454Abstract: A coating composition to prevent cribbing by a horse includes a solvent, a carrier, a non volatile chemical and a pigment. The solvent comprises a combination of a higher aromatic solvent having a boiling point above 170.degree. Centigrade (380.degree. Fahrenheit), and crystals thereof combined with a carrier therefor. Further, non-volatile chemicals which would assist in penetration of a wood surface and in enhancing residual properties of the composition can be added to the base combination.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 1992Date of Patent: October 4, 1994Assignee: Dyco Associates, Inc.Inventor: John W.
