Brian A. Kocher has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11480488
    Abstract: An industrial process transmitter includes a housing, sensor circuitry, transmitter circuitry, and a radiation shield. The sensor circuitry is contained in the housing, and is configured to sense a process parameter and generate a sensor output that is indicative of the sensed process parameter. The transmitter circuitry is contained in the housing, and is configured to communicate the sensed process parameter to an external unit. The radiation shield substantially surrounds a portion of the housing containing the sensor circuitry and shields the sensor circuitry from gamma radiation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 2018
    Date of Patent: October 25, 2022
    Assignee: ROSEMOUNT INC.
    Inventors: David Roberts, Matthew Etheridge, Trevor Stroth, Brian Kocher, Jeffery D. Chivers

  • Publication number: 20170364303
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system and method to manage image file storage that includes a memory device to store instructions and at least one processing device to execute the instructions stored in the memory device to determine a blur indication or a burst characteristic for each of a plurality of files stored on a storage medium, automatically identify candidate image files to delete based at least in part on the blur indication or the burst characteristic, and delete at least some of the candidate image files based on receiving a delete indication.
