Publication number: 20200315385Abstract: An ergonomic modular ergonomic multi-layer platform with a synthetic tapered marginal border including a non-compressible wood base covered with at least one compressible mat disposed between the wood base and a top non-slip mat to provide occupational workers with a therapeutic, forgiving work surface to protect them from the health risks of working, walking and standing on a concrete floor or common anti-fatigue mat used in many factories today. The therapy platform is raised off the floor to offer suspension, thus promoting a spring effect for absorbing and returning compression force resulting in reduced stress loads and compression force for people who work, walk or stand fort extended periods of time. The therapy platform is modular in design so that the tapered borders of separate modular sections connect for a snug fit. The vertical edges of the wood sections also have connection points that provide a leveling effect and further enhance the fit of the module sections.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2020Publication date: October 8, 2020Inventors: Paul R. Johnson, Robert E. Johnson

Publication number: 20200216191Abstract: An air data probe includes a probe head defining a longitudinal axis between a forward tip and aft base. A port opening is defined in a side of the probe head and opening at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis. A bulkhead within the probe head has a chamber in fluid communication with the port opening. The chamber includes a single chamber inlet having an elongated cross-sectional shape. The single elongated chamber inlet is in fluid communication with two downstream pressure conduits to provide redundancy in case one of the two pressure conduits is blocked.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2020Publication date: July 9, 2020Inventors: Timothy T. Golly, Paul R. Johnson, Greg Seidel

Patent number: 10589870Abstract: An air data probe includes a probe head defining a longitudinal axis between a forward tip and aft base. A port opening is defined in the forward tip. A first conduit is in fluid communication with the port opening to guide fluid flow from the port opening to a first chamber. The first chamber is downstream from the port opening. A second conduit, offset radially and circumferentially from the first conduit, is in fluid communication with the first chamber to guide fluid flow from the first chamber to a second chamber. The second chamber is downstream from the first chamber. The offset between the first and second conduits is configured to prevent particle ingestion from the port opening from entering the second conduit.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Rosemount Aerospace Inc.Inventors: Timothy T. Golly, Greg A. Seidel, Paul R. Johnson

Publication number: 20190365306Abstract: The test lab set-up includes a test flow bench for mounting one or more test devices, an adjustable nozzle for simulating urine flow, and a sensor for collecting data associated with the simulated urine flowing through the test device(s). A computing device for measuring and/or calculating various parameters associated with the simulated urine flow may also be included. The test device may have a shape corresponding to a handheld uroflowmeter subject to testing. The angle of the adjustable nozzle may be adjusted to test for various angles of urine flow. Similarly, the angle, pitch, and roll of the test device may be adjusted to test for various angles at which a uroflowmeter is held. As fluid flows through the test device, the sensor collects information such as, for example, flow rate, duration, volume, and the like. The sensor transmits the data collected to a computing device for additional processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2019Publication date: December 5, 2019Inventors: Brent Laing, John Green, Paul R. Johnson, Robert John Smith, Robert Edwin Schneider, Magnus Hargis, Elise Geolat Edson, Elizabeth A. O'Brien

Publication number: 20190365307Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to uroflowmeters and methods for processing data generated therefrom. In one aspect, the uroflowmeter is a handheld device. The uroflowmeter includes a handle, a flow chamber coupled to the handle, and a sensor associated with the flow chamber that detects a parameter of urine received in the flow chamber. The uroflowmeter may include both reusable and disposable components. As a uroflowmeter it can identify and record data corresponding to the rate of flow over the measured duration of a void of urine, but may also timestamp the voiding act and communicate the data to an external data collection center for additional analysis and incorporation into a comprehensive voiding report or voiding diary.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2019Publication date: December 5, 2019Inventors: Brent Laing, John Green, Paul R. Johnson, Robert John Smith, Robert Edwin Schneider, Magnus Hargis, Elise Geolat Edson, Elizabeth A. O'Brien, Joe Kapushion

Publication number: 20190365308Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to methods and systems for generating a void profile for user void events. The method includes receiving by a processing element a plurality of outputs from a fluid level sensor corresponding to a plurality of levels of fluid flowing through a voiding device during a flow event; determining by the processing element a beginning and an end time of the fluid flow into the voiding device during the flow event; analyzing the plurality of outputs of the fluid level sensor over a time interval defined by the beginning and end time of the fluid flow to determine at least one of a fluid flow rate data and an accumulated volume data for the fluid flowing through the voiding device; and storing the fluid flow rate data and the accumulated flow volume data in a memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2019Publication date: December 5, 2019Inventors: Brent Laing, John Green, Paul R.

Patent number: 10227139Abstract: An air data probe includes a probe head defining a longitudinal axis between a forward tip and aft base. The probe includes a thermocouple having a sense end in the forward tip to measure the temperature in the forward tip. The probe includes a port opening defined in a side of the probe head and opening at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis. The probe includes a bulkhead within the probe head. The bulkhead has a chamber in fluid communication with the port opening. The chamber includes a single chamber inlet having an elongated cross-sectional shape. The single elongated chamber inlet is in fluid communication with two downstream pressure conduits to provide redundancy in case one of the two pressure conduits is blocked.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2016Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Rosemount Aerospace Inc.Inventors: Timothy T.

Patent number: 9746874Abstract: An industrial symmetric pedal control system is provided which allows for ergonomically favorable operation by paired reciprocal control pedals which mirror an operator's right and left limbs. The reciprocal mirror control pedals allow operation of the same predetermined function within designated machinery by either the left or right foot of an operator, thus reducing fatigue while maintaining proper position at a particular workstation. Also included in the system is an ergonomically designed floor mat to provide the operator with more comfort and less fatigue while operating machinery.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2014Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Johnson Technologies CorporationInventors: Robert E.

Patent number: 9700165Abstract: A work mat on which a worker stands while operating a machine for comfort and for the purpose of easing of physical stress caused by standing on a non-compressible floor during a work day. The work mat includes a wooden platform with a peripheral synthetic border which tapers from the floor up to the top edge of the wooden platform. In addition, the synthetic border extends inward about one half inch under the peripheral edge of the wooden platform, thereby elevating the wooden platform above the floor. The wooden platform is therefore suspended over the floor and can flex up and down as a user walks on or stands on the mat, thereby absorbing some of the shock of walking and moving on the floor. The compressibility of the wooden platform adds to the comfort of the work mat as well.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2015Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: Johnson Technologies CorporationInventors: Paul R.
