Patent number: 11970251Abstract: A method and system for controlling a marine vessel is configured to operate a lanyard system to detect at least one fob worn by an individual present on the marine vessel and determine that a missing fob of the at least one fob is no longer detected, wherein the missing fob is either an operator fob or a passenger fob. A man overboard event is generated based on the missing fob, wherein the man overboard event is an operator overboard event if the missing fob includes the operator fob or a passenger overboard event if the missing fob is the passenger fob. One or more search assistance functions are automatically activated based on the man overboard event, wherein the search assistance functions activated depend on whether the man overboard event is the operator overboard event or the passenger overboard event.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Brunswick CorporationInventors: Steven J. Gonring, Walter B. Ross, Fredrik Eriksen, Christian Frost Røine

Publication number: 20220397277Abstract: The present invention relates to a control unit for a household appliance, in particular for a cooking appliance (1). The control unit comprises at least one input/output device (UI) for the entry of control commands and for the visualisation of information, particularly status information, and at least one control element (S1, S2, S3, S4) comprising a plurality of touch-sensitive switching elements positioned in a straightlined arrangement. At least a part of the input/output device (UI) is touch-sensitive and/or formed as a touch screen. The control element (S1, S2, S3, S4) is adapted to assign a power level to an electrical load depending on the activated switching element. At least one first special function, in particular a first special operating program, is assignable to at least a first one of the plurality of switching elements. The input/output device (UI) further comprises at least one selection button (13, 15), which is adapted to provide the selection of the at least one first special function.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2020Publication date: December 15, 2022Inventors: Elina WESTMAN, Katharina BAUMGARTNER, Walter FROST, Alexandra ABALADA, Kim ROGVALL

Patent number: 10298859Abstract: Various techniques are provided to generate enhanced visual representations of captured infrared (IR) data values. For example, various methods, systems, devices, and machine-readable mediums are provided that may be used to map color and/or grayscale values to temperature values. Such mapping permits a user to intuitively interpret the temperatures associated with the IR data values. The temperatures may be presented as a visual representation of the captured IR data values having an enhanced contrast.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2014Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: FLIR Systems ABInventors: Walter Frost, Mikael Erlandsson, Fredrik Von Braun, Petter Wilhelm Richard Sundin

Publication number: 20060021543Abstract: A locking mechanism for hatch or hinged covers of vehicles, especially military vehicles, allows the simultaneous locking or unlocking of all locking elements of the hatch cover or a hinged cover actuating one handle or push button, thus providing a secure and well-sealed closure. The movement of the plurality of locking elements arranged on a hatch cover or hinged cover takes place by means of an actuating device disposed on the outside and/or the inside of the hatch cover or the hinged cover. By actuation of the actuating element, a mechanical transmission element arranged to rotate in a guide on the circumference of the hatch cover or the hinged cover and cooperating with slide rods and corner hinge elements can be displaced in its longitudinal direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2005Publication date: February 2, 2006Applicant: Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Uwe Sprafke, Walter Frost

Patent number: 5743994Abstract: A method and apparatus for making an elasticized article includes a delivering mechanism for supplying a substrate web having a longitudinal direction and a lateral cross-direction. A first connecting mechanism attaches an inboard elastic member to said substrate web, and a second connecting mechanism attaches an outboard elastic member to the substrate web, with the outboard elastic member located laterally outboard of the inboard elastic member. A dividing mechanism separates away a portion of the substrate web and a portion of the outboard elastic member to thereby provide a set of elastics which are arranged in a staggered overlapping relation.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1995Date of Patent: April 28, 1998Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Harold Roessler, Paul Theodore Van Gompel, Daniel Robert Schlinz, Mark Gordon Heath, Geoffrey Walter Frost

Patent number: 4817039Abstract: The assembly performs the method for monitoring and predicting gaseous pollutant cloud drift and dispersion across complex terrain resulting from the site a source or potential source of pollution. Cloud drift and dispersion simulation information is produced for the earth surface terrain site under a wide range of simulated atmospheric conditions. The cloud drift and dispersion simulation information is then recorded and stored for later retrieval. The prevailing environmental conditions are monitored at the actual terrain site. As the time for the formation of a cloud of material such as an exhaust plume of a flight vehicle or movement of toxic gas is anticipated, information is selected from the recorded drift and dispersion simulation information in response to the preselected environmental conditions monitored at the actual terrain site.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1986Date of Patent: March 28, 1989Assignee: FWG Associates, Inc.Inventor: Walter Frost
