  • System and method for reducing at least one of airflow turbulence and pressure fluctuation proximate a valve
    Patent number: 10125756
    Abstract: A baffle, for directing air within a compressor head, includes a first leg extending along a first direction, positioned proximate to a first valve of the compressor head, and a second leg extending along the first direction and substantially parallel to the first leg, positioned proximate to a second valve of the compressor head. A first portion of air from a first side of the first leg is communicated to a second side of the first leg beyond an end of the first leg. An aperture in the first leg communicates a second portion of the air from the first side of the first leg to the second side of the first leg. A turbulence and/or pressure fluctuation proximate the first valve is reduced by communicating the second portion of the air from the first side to the second side of the first leg.

  • Re-sealable container for a controlled substance having a child resistant lid
    Patent number: 10124941
    Abstract: Provided is a re-sealable container for storing, preserving, identifying, tracking and transporting a federally controlled substance having a child resistant and senior friendly lid, and a process for identifying and tracking federally controlled substances within the re-sealable containers. The re-sealable federally controlled substance containers include a two-piece child resistant and senior friendly lid and a 2-factor authentication identification tag, as well as a microchip for identifying the container controlled substance contents and tracking the container. Controlled substance contents within the re-sealable containers are optimized for long term storage by removal of the oxygen therein, and the containers and controlled substance contents can be readily identified, detected, tracked and traced after being filled with a federally controlled substance.

  • Hierarchical link quality metrics for a beam in a satellite network
    Patent number: 10128938
    Abstract: A system and method for determining hierarchical link quality metrics in a communication system, and performing different routines to optimize operation of the communication system based on the link quality metrics. Data is collected for a predetermined interval, and a carrier link quality is determined for each terminal utilizing different carriers in the communication system. A link quality is determined for each terminal type, and a beam link quality is determined for each beam in the system. Different thresholds are set so that optimization routines can be performed based on the current link quality values.

  • Robotic platform and method for performing multiple functions in agricultural systems
    Patent number: 10123473
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle platform system and method configured to perform various in-season management tasks, including selectively applying fertilizer, mapping growth zones and seeding cover crop within an agricultural field, while self-navigating between rows of planted crops and beneath the canopy of the planted crops on the uneven terrain of an agricultural field, allowing for an ideal in-season application of fertilizer to occur once the planted crop is well established and growing rapidly, in an effort to limit the loss of fertilizer.

  • Stock for launcher
    Patent number: 10126093
    Abstract: A quick release stock assembly for a launcher is provided having a stock bar and a stock housing. The stock bar has a first end and a second end, the first end having a mating member that secures the stock bar to the launcher in a first orientation and that precludes the stock bar from being removed from the launcher in the first orientation. The stock bar is removable from the launcher in a second orientation. The stock housing has a cavity sized to receive a pressurized canister, and a receiver to slidingly receive the stock bar about its length. The stock housing further has a release pin transverse to the receiver to engage the stock bar and longitudinally fix the stock bar in the stock housing in a plurality of positions.

  • Caching of metadata for deduplicated LUNs
    Patent number: 10126984
    Abstract: Efficient processing of user data read requests in a deduplicated data storage system places the metadata for most frequently requested data in data structures and locations in the system hierarchy where the metadata will be most rapidly available. The total amount of such metadata makes storing all of the metadata in high speed memory expensive, and the system and method described uses both the temporal and the spatial characteristics of the user system activity in any epoch to adjust the contents of metadata cache so as to respond to the dynamics of a multi user or multi-application environment where the storage system is not made aware of the time changing mix of operations except by observation of the individual requests. A history record is used to promote metadata from the slow memory to the fast memory, and a process selection may be adjusted based on the address-space activity.

  • Printer platen material holding apparatus
    Patent number: 10124605
    Abstract: An improved device is disclosed for holding down textile the material on the platen of the digital printer. The device includes a textile gripping material formed to define a border band on the periphery of the platen. The border material has a structure that engages/grips the textile and hold the textile in place. In operation, the textile is laid onto the platen surface and the edges are pulled taut to align the textile and remove wrinkles and the textile is next pressed onto the border material to be engaged by the border material. The border material grips and holds the textile in position, to provide a smooth textile surface on which the ink jets are applied. After the printing operation, the textile is lifted off of the border material and removed from the platen.

  • Method for logging and reporting driver activity and operation of a vehicle
    Patent number: 10127556
    Abstract: An automated at-the-pump method manages vehicle fuel purchases at a fuel station. The method includes transmitting driver identification data to a mobile device assigned to a vehicle driver. The driver identification data is electronically verified to confirm that the driver identification data received by the mobile device matches the assigned vehicle driver. Vehicle data is transmitted from a data bus of the vehicle to the mobile device for storage in the memory. The vehicle data and driver identification data are transmitted to a remote terminal. Using the remote terminal, the vehicle data and driver identification data are electronically authenticated. An authorization signal is then transmitted from the remote terminal to an at-the-pump fuel control terminal.
