Patent number: 10751826Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a constant current controller for use in constant current welding applications are described. In one embodiment, a current controller controls the output current of the welding torch without directly measuring the output current of the welding torch. The current controller controls or sets a current in a primary winding of a transformer in an inverter of a welding power supply to control the output current of the welding torch.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2016Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Alan Adam Manthe, Craig Steven Knoener

Patent number: 10726624Abstract: A data analysis system may automatically suggest data visualizations to a user. A primary data visualization may be displayed to graphically illustrate a primary data set of a database. Criteria may be automatically applied to the database to identify a secondary data set that meets the criteria. A secondary data visualization that graphically illustrates the secondary data visualization and/or a corresponding indicator may be displayed. Multiple visualizations and/or indicators may be displayed, and the user may select one for viewing. The criteria may again be applied to the database to identify a tertiary data set. An analysis path may be recorded to enable the user to easily view the decisions made and/or the data visualizations viewed. The criteria may include determination that the secondary data set has the desired amount of data, has unique data types or descriptors, includes data previously selected by the user, or the like.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2017Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Domo, Inc.Inventors: Adam Landefeld, Gary Gibb, Alan Adams Winters, Daren Thayne, Jeff Burtenshaw, Mardell Cheney

Patent number: 10725642Abstract: An alert may provide a user with notification when a trigger condition regarding the operation of an enterprise is satisfied. Prior to setting the alert, a proposed alert with the trigger condition may be received. The trigger condition may be compared with a database of operational data related to operation of the enterprise over a period of time to obtain historical trigger data. The historical trigger data may indicate how the proposed alert would have functioned if applied to the operational data for the period of time, for example, by indicating how many times the alert would have been triggered during the period of time. The historical trigger data may be provided to a user, and may facilitate user determination of whether the proposed alert will perform as desired. Once the desired proposed alert has been entered, the user may set the proposed alert as an actual alert.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: DOMO, INC.Inventors: Adam Landefeld, Chris Willis, Alan Adams Winters, Dana Stott

Patent number: 10656818Abstract: In various embodiments, an animation is displayed to indicate that displayed content shown within a display area is scrollable. For example, in at least one embodiment, when scrollable content is initially displayed within a display area, an animation is shown in which the display automatically scrolls through all or some of the content, so as to indicate to the user that there is more content to view. In at least one embodiment, the animation is relatively quick and transitory, so that it serves as a brief reminder of the presence of additional off-screen content that the user can scroll to. In at least one embodiment, the animation is only shown for particular content the first time the display renders that content; in another embodiment, the animation is repeated on subsequent re-rendering of the same content.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2014Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: DOMO, INC.Inventors: Alan Adams Winters, SaraJoy Pond

Publication number: 20200030904Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and/or methods for mitigating audible noise generated by a welding-type power supply are disclosed. In some examples, the switching frequency of the welding-type power supply may be changed to a frequency that is outside the audible range for humans. This strategy takes advantage of the fact that the observed audible noise is generated by vibrating components within the welding-type power supply that vibrate at a frequency related to the switching frequency. Other noise mitigation strategies include dithering and deactivation of portions of the welding-type power supply that vibrate to generate the audible noise.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2018Publication date: January 30, 2020Inventors: Jeremy John Erdmann, Maxwell Bode Brock, Craig Steven Knoener, Suneesh Thovarayi, Alan Adam Manthe

Patent number: 10467781Abstract: Information is presented on a map that resembles a city map, with related information grouped into distinct “neighborhoods.” Such a display scheme takes advantage of spatial cognition in order to provide an organizational and presentational scheme by which users can more easily remember where to look for and find the right information. Metadata, notifications, and/or other auxiliary information can be presented alongside or superimposed upon the data itself.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2016Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: DOMO, Inc.Inventors: Shaun Richard Moon, Alan Adams Winters, Benjamin Green

Patent number: 10076608Abstract: An overload protection method and apparatus for a medicament syringe pump force sensor. A dome switch is employed with force sensor components of a medicament pump. The dome switch collapses at overload pressures, isolating the force sensor from pump driving forces that exceed the force sensor limit. An alarm signal can be triggered by the overload, and initiate pump shut down.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2015Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: Smiths Medical ASD, Inc.Inventors: Taylor Dowden, Jim Drost, Grant Alan Adams
