Patent number: 12110307Abstract: The present invention is concerned with self-immolative recognition and/or responsive systems for electrophilic compounds, especially alkylating agents, which systems may comprise disclosure or detection of the alkylating agent. The present invention is especially concerned with non-protic triggered self-immolative systems, molecules, and methods, and in particular for detection of non-protic electrophilic agents, and especially alkylating agents, for example alkyl or benzylic halides, which may be found in pesticides or fumigants, or chemical warfare agents.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2019Date of Patent: October 8, 2024Assignee: The Secretary of State for DefenceInventors: Andrew Russell, Wayne Cord Hayes, Mark Rodney Sambrook, Flavien Leroux, Aaron Acton, Antonio Feula, Alexander Gabriel Gavriel

Publication number: 20240257960Abstract: In various embodiments, a process for instrument selection optimization includes receiving a specification of surgical implements available for use during a surgical operation, receiving an image depicting at least a portion of the available surgical implements utilized during the surgical operation, and at least in part automatically generating a record of the utilized surgical implements depicted in the image. The process includes storing the record in a data storage of surgical implement utilization data, and automatically analyzing records stored in the data storage of surgical implement utilization data to identify one or more surgical implement preparation groupings optimizing one or more specified utilization metrics.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2024Publication date: August 1, 2024Inventors: Suneel Shorey, Jason Rawlings, Krishna Yalamanchili, Geoffrey Morgan, Jie Zhao, Darshana Mukundan, Aaron Acton

Patent number: 11735912Abstract: Systems, methods, and processor-readable storage media for AI-assisted electrical power grid fault analysis predict the cause of a fault and cause the fault to be remedied by receiving an indication that a first fault has occurred, identifying a plurality of additional fault records associated with the first fault, obtaining a first prediction of the cause of the fault based on the first fault record and the plurality of fault records by applying the fault records to a machine learning model, obtaining a second prediction of the cause of the fault by applying the fault records to a rules-based model, and obtaining a final prediction of the cause of the first fault based on the first prediction and the second prediction. The final prediction of the cause of the first fault is used to cause the predicted cause of the first fault to be remedied.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: QUALITROL COMPANY LLCInventors: Aaron Acton, Peter Glover, Mark Diamond, Peter Brett, David Cole, Paul Donegan

Publication number: 20230036218Abstract: Systems, methods, and processor-readable storage media for AI continued learning in electrical power grid fault analysis use historical fault record data to generate a fault cause prediction model for predicting the cause of a fault, and modify the fault cause prediction model based on additional technician data received from power grid technicians. The systems disclosed herein additionally receive an indication of a fault which has occurred in a power grid, obtain a prediction of the cause of the fault by applying the indication of the fault to the fault cause prediction model, and cause the predicted cause of the fault to be remedied.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Aaron Acton, Peter Glover, Mark Diamond, Peter Brett, David Cole, Paul Donegan

Patent number: 10241192Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, from at least one transmitter coupled to an object, a transmission signal, wherein the transmission signal is received at a subset of a plurality of receivers, wherein the plurality of receivers are connected together through a network and have a synchronized clock; identifying, for each of the subset of the plurality of receivers, a time of receipt of the transmission signal and marking the transmission signal with a timestamp corresponding to the time of receipt; determining, using the marked transmission signals, a relative position of the object relative to the receivers; and identifying a location of the object within an environment by correlating the determined relative position of the object to a map of the environment. Other aspects are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2018Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: ARIN Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Aaron Acton, Harish Balakrishnan, Pradyumna P. Kulkarni, Perry J. Servedio, Mark Imgrund

Publication number: 20050214088Abstract: A wheelchair occupant restraint system may include a wheelchair having a frame supporting a number of wheels, a seat mounted to the frame, and a first web securing the frame to the seat. Alternatively or additionally, a second tether may secure a shoulder belt support to a support surface remote from the wheelchair, wherein the shoulder belt support is mounted to a seat back of the wheelchair. Alternatively or additionally, an occupant restraint system, which may have some components mounted to or integral with the wheelchair and others not mounted to or integral with the wheelchair, may include one or more restraint webs that have at least one indicator identifying respective portions of the one or more restraint webs that connect together.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2005Publication date: September 29, 2005Inventor: Aaron Acton

Patent number: 6631926Abstract: A clamp for relieving the tension in a seatbelt. An air operated actuator is activated by the passenger at a location remote from the clamp to lock the clamp to the seatbelt. The clamp is slidable on a track with a first endstop and an opposite second endstop. The clamp can be initially secured to the seatbelt at the first endstop. Subsequent movement by the passenger results in the clamp moving along the track. Upon reseating by the passenger, the clamp will be supported at a support position intermediate of the first and second endstops, resulting in increased slack in the shoulder portion of the seatbelt, reduced tension in the shoulder portion, and increased comfort for the passenger.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2001Date of Patent: October 14, 2003Assignee: Indiana Mills & Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: David D. Merrick, Guy R. Dingman, Aaron Acton
