Patent number: 10742524Abstract: A framework that provides for development and deployment of services that future-proofs application development efforts, avoids vendor “lock-in” at the PaaS level, and offers true portability of applications and services. Using the framework, developers write application code to a common API interface that connects to resources. The API interface obtains configuration data from a configuration provider that provides configuration data. The configuration data points to an implementation of the code that is bound at runtime. This results in a separation of the API from the configuration data. Using the framework, the application code is portable and can be moved from one framework to another so long each of the frameworks adhere to the common API interface. As such, application code may be written once and then implemented on one or more cloud-based infrastructures and/or within an on-premises data center.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: MONZA CLOUD, LLCInventors: Robert William Dytmire, Albert Edward Hunkin, Jr.

Patent number: 9067632Abstract: Wheeled vehicle, comprising of one front wheel, two side wheels and one rear wheel, configured on a chassis frame in a symmetrical rhombus (diamond) layout. The non-steered front wheel is turned by pedals using human power, similar or exactly in bicycle use design, or with electric motor power. The two parallel side wheels in one axis are perpendicular to the chassis frame, allowing them to swivel in unison for steering the vehicle without elaborate axle pivoting apparatus. The rear wheel is powered by an electric motor, hybrid motor or liquid fuel motor. The rear wheel is attached longitudinally with the center of the chassis frame so that it swivels also in unison for steering with the side wheels.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2013Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Inventor: Albert Edward Mroz

Patent number: 8287735Abstract: The invention provides a method for the purification of a liquid by membrane distillation comprising: passing a heated vapourising stream of a liquid (retentate stream) through a retentate channel along a porous hydrophobic membrane (10), whereby vapour of the liquid flows via the pores of the membrane to the other side of said membrane, and condensing said vapour on the other side of said membrane to give a distillate stream in a distillate channel (5) which distillate is created by passing the heat of condensation (latent heat) towards a condenser surface (3), said condenser surface forming a non-porous separation between a feed stream of the liquid to be purified and said distillate stream, which feed stream is passed through a feed channel (2) in counter-current with the retentate stream, in which feed channel a space material (4) is arranged whereby at least part of the latent heat is transferred via the condenser surface to the feed stream, and whereby a positive liquid pressure difference is applied beType: GrantFiled: October 31, 2007Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Nederlandse Organisatie voor toegepast-natuurwetenschappelijk onderzoek TNOInventors: Jan Hendrik Hanemaaijer, Albert Edward Jansen, Jolanda Van Medevoort, Hans De Jong, Eric Van Sonsbeek, Engelbert Peter Jurrie Jan Koele, Jan Willem Assink

Patent number: 7946879Abstract: A modified insulation displacement connector block (10) has an array (11) of insulation displacement connectors (12). Each insulation displacement connector (12) is adapted to receive an insulated wire conductor (16) constituting one part of a twisted pair cable (24). The insulation displacement connector block (10) is provided with guide means (17) spaced relative to the connector array (11) so as to define a gap (21) therebetween. The guide means (17) is adapted for aligning each insulated wire conductor (16) with a selected insulation displacement connector (12), and further adapted to receive a length of each insulated wire conductor (16) extending from its selected insulation displacement connector (12) to a corresponding location on the guide means (17). In use, the said length of insulated wire conductor (16) bridges the gap (21), thereby to be presented for subsequent removal by a wire manipulation tool (23).Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2008Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: United Technologists Europe LimitedInventors: Frank Gerwin Kaufhold, Ian Albert Edward Swann, John Richard Willoughby, George William Francis

Publication number: 20100044408Abstract: A mechanism (10) for feeding a length of twisted pair cable (15), comprises a driven capstan (11) and a continuous belt (17) defining, respectively, first and second contact surfaces for the twisted pair cable (15). The continuous belt (17) is supported and arranged so that a portion thereof embraces an arc (16) of the substantially circular periphery of the capstan (11). Drive means are provided to effect rotation of the capstan (11), so as to feed a length of twisted pair cable (15) along the arcuate path (16) defined between the first and second contact surfaces where the arc (16) of the capstan (11) intersects the continuous belt (17). The arcuate path (16) is sufficiently narrow such that the capstan (11) and the continuous belt (17) embrace the length of twisted pair cable (15), and sufficiently long such that at least two nodes (19) of said length of twisted pair cable (15) are accommodated therein.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2008Publication date: February 25, 2010Applicant: UNITED TECHNOLOGISTS EUROPE LIMITEDInventors: Frank Gerwin Kaufhold, Ian Albert Edward Swann, John Richard Willoughby, George William Francis

Publication number: 20100037980Abstract: An apparatus (1, 2, 20) and method are provided for separating a length of twisted pair cable (10) into its constituent individual insulated wire conductors (11, 12) for subsequent use in telecommunications networks or other electrical equipment. The apparatus (1, 2, 20) includes a separator (15, 66) adapted for insertion between the individual insulated wire conductors (11, 12) constituting the twisted pair cable (10). Cable drive means are provided to cause displacement of the length of twisted pair cable (10) relative to the inserted separator (15, 66) in a direction (a, b) co-incident with the axis of the twisted pair cable (10). In addition to separating the insulated wire conductors (11, 12), the driving (a, b) of the twisted wire cable (10) past the separator (15, 66) also causes plastic deformation of the individual insulated wire conductors (11, 12) thus preventing them from springing back into their initial wound state.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2008Publication date: February 18, 2010Applicant: UNITED TECHNOLOGISTS EUROPE LIMITEDInventors: Frank Gerwin Kaufhold, Ian Albert Edward Swann, John Richard Willoughby, George William Francis
