Patent number: 7986224Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a sensor device including processing circuitry, at least one sensor coupled to the processing circuitry, a serial data interface coupled to the processing circuitry and memory responsive to the processing circuitry. The memory includes a static unique identification number. The serial data interface provides access to retrieve the static unique identification number and sensed data measured with the at least one sensor from the memory.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2008Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: American Power Conversion CorporationInventors: Ryan Joy, Michael R. Primm, Ronald Graczyk, David K. Smith, Boyd E. Slade

Patent number: 5861684Abstract: A DC power distribution system can be configured to utilize a variable number of AC power distribution units. Installation of a converter unit in place of a PDU and resetting of associated switches permits inexpensive and rapid reconfiguration of the system without interrupting power supply to current receiving units. Techniques such as mechanical keying and sense switches minimize the possibility of human error in the reconfiguring operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1995Date of Patent: January 19, 1999Assignee: Tandem Computers IncorporatedInventors: Boyd E. Slade, David L. Aldridge, William J. Watson, William P. Bunton

Patent number: 4713623Abstract: A system for printing dot-matrix characters wherein a double column of dot forming elements is used, and no single dot forming element is required to print more often than once in any four column interval of printed text. Means for timing the actuation of the dot forming elements wherein the "on" time of the individual actuators can be longer than the time interval between columns is included.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1981Date of Patent: December 15, 1987Assignee: Dataproducts CorporationInventors: Dan C. Mower, Peter H. Wolf, Boyd E. Slade, David Albertalli

Patent number: 4256948Abstract: A stylus wire for use in a matrix printhead includes a thin elongated wire with an integral sphere-like head formed at one end. Also disclosed is a method of forming the sphere-like head using a laser or other device to apply high localized heat to the wire end sufficient to form said sphere-like head.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1978Date of Patent: March 17, 1981Assignee: Dataproducts CorporationInventors: Peter H. Wolf, Boyd E. Slade

Patent number: 4140406Abstract: A printing head for forming dot matrix characters which includes a wire stylus assembly having a plurality of guide bearings spaced to reduce the wear of the tip bearing, and to minimize buckling and resonances. Each stylus is driven by an electromagnetic actuator having a hinged armature, with the stylus drive point at the center of percussion of the armature with respect to the hinge line. Damping is effected at the same point. The armatures are shaped to drive the styli directly in line with the stylus wires without introducing a moment. Individual adjustments for magnetic gap are provided. A retainer device for holding all of the armatures in place during assembly is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 1977Date of Patent: February 20, 1979Assignee: DataproductsInventors: Peter H. Wolf, Boyd E. Slade
