Patent number: 9906090Abstract: A magnetic drive assembly includes a housing having a cylindrical end bell portion and a cylindrical hub portion adjacent the end bell portion, wherein the radius of the hub portion is greater than the radius of the end bell portion. One or more mounting tabs extend radially outward from the hub portion. The housing has heat transfer fins associated with the mounting tabs for dissipating heat and structurally supporting the mounting tabs in the manner of a gusset. The heat transfer fins may be arranged on opposite sides of each mounting tab to provide support for the mounting tab in opposite axial directions of the housing. To relieve internal pressure, the housing may have at least one pressure equalization vent allowing passage of gas but not passage of liquid into and out of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: Moog Inc.Inventors: Matthew A. Carroll, Ronald Flanary, Mohammad Khandan-Barani

Patent number: 9898270Abstract: A system and method for facilitating execution of one or more data integration projects in multiple environments or an environment that undergoes changes. Each project has a set of project parameters, which are bound to environment variables. Each environment has a corresponding environment representation with environment variables and corresponding values. Each project is mapped to an environment representation. Values of environment variables are provided to projects with corresponding parameters. When one or more projects are changed to a different environment with a different corresponding environment representation, the environment variable values of the new environment representation are provided to the projects. When an environment change is reflected in the environment representation, the changed variable values are provided to mapped projects.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2016Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Bekim Demiroski, David Noor, Jeffrey Bernhardt, Matthew Carroll

Publication number: 20180012577Abstract: Embodiments of a capo and fretting component are described. In certain embodiments, the fretting component is threaded onto a crossbar configured to overlie the instrument strings when in use and to pivot with respect to the crossbar so as to contact and press the strings against a fret on the instrument neck. The fretting component is offset with respect to the attachment mechanism of the capo, allowing the attachment mechanism to be offset on the neck of the instrument from where it would normally be positioned to achieve a comparable fretting effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2017Publication date: January 11, 2018Inventors: Daniel Curtis Blacker, Matthew Carroll, John Vinson Jaggers

Patent number: 9650018Abstract: A system and method of collecting and conditioning rainwater and other moisture, such as dew, from a windshield of a vehicle and utilizing the collected fluid to replenish the fluids in the windshield washer reservoir. A collection funnel is positioned on a vehicle in order to collect rainwater and other moisture. Rainwater and other fluids from the collection funnel are directed to a conditioning cartridge where the water is de-ionized and windshield washer fluid is added. The cartridges are designed to be single replaceable units. The mixed fluid from the mixing cartridge is directed to the pre-existing windshield washer reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2015Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: WiperFill Holdings LLCInventor: Matthew Carroll

Patent number: 8799299Abstract: A system and method for extracting data from an input source, transforming the data, and loading the transformed data to an output destination. A schema contract including constraints is used to validate a set of input data column types and translate them into a set of actual types. Mapping data in the schema contract enable mapping input data columns to data columns used by data integration components. The constraints and mapping data provide flexibility in transforming sets of data having different sets of input data column types, while providing a fixed set of types for use during dataflow executions. Flexibility may enable optional columns, sets of one or more columns, varying arrangements of columns, and variations in type definitions of each column.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2010Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Matthew Carroll, David Noor
