Patent number: 11726068Abstract: Systems and methods for testing steam traps or other similar devices in a hot water or steam system are described. A tester includes a wand that is handheld that can communicate with a handheld electronic device which in turn can communicate with a central monitor for storing and compiling readings as historical profile data. The wand includes a probe to physically contact the device to acoustically sense the performance of the device. The probe includes a probe tip and a stack of acoustic elements, an electrode, a stack mass, and a head to covert the acoustic signal into an electrical signal. The handheld device includes circuitry to process the information, interact with the user, and transmit information to and from the handheld electronic device and/or the central monitor.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2022Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: ARMSTRONG INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Shane Russell, William R. Horton, Glenn T. Leggett, Robert E. Carter, Kurt Armstrong, Thomas Jack Secord, Michael Herman Gaines

Patent number: 11507040Abstract: In one aspect, a system (110) for performing an action is disclosed. In one arrangement and embodiment, the system (110) comprises: a tool (118) operable to perform at least the action; a controller (122); storage (124) storing electronic program instructions for controlling the controller (122); and an input/output means (126). In one form, the controller (122) is operable, under control of the electronic program instructions, to: receive input via the input means; process the input, and on the basis of the processing, control the tool to perform the action. In one embodiment, the action comprises a hydraulic tuning action in respect of a system, such as a hydraulic pump (114), comprising a hydraulic circuit.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Koodaideri Innovation & Technology Pty LtdInventor: Shane Russell Lewis

Publication number: 20200061667Abstract: This invention discloses a method for controlling nanoscopic wetting near or at a molecular scale for synthetic material applications. In particular this invention relates to a method for preparing a monolayer or thin film with a patterned nanoscopic wetting surface using a ‘sitting’ phase of polymerizable amphiphile, wherein hydrophobic alkyl chains of the amphiphile extend along the supporting surface and the amphiphile molecules align side-to-side, effectively forming a repeating cross-section of bilayer with alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic stripes of a ˜6 nm pitch tunable based on the chain length of the amphiphile. Products prepared according to the methods disclosed herein are within the scope of this invention. In some embodiments, monolayers or thin films so prepared are transferable.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2019Publication date: February 27, 2020Applicant: Purdue Research FoundationInventors: Shelley A Claridge, Shi Wah Choong, Jae Jin Bang, Shane Russell
