Patent number: 11938988Abstract: A cart and rack assembly for transporting a planar material includes a rack and a cart. The rack includes a frame coupled to a base. The frame has an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion has a first width, and the lower portion has a second width. The cart is configured to reversibly receive the base. The cart includes a guide member configured to guide either of the base or the cart into a predetermined position when the base is received by the cart. The assembly further includes a bracket having a first end and a second end which is configured to selectively secure the planar material to the assembly. The base has a series of apertures configured to accept the first end of the bracket.

Publication number: 20220179606Abstract: A historian interface system provides a graphical representation of tags that represent attributes of a continuous process. A historian system stores the tags and metadata values describing the tags. A display device coupled to the historian system via a communication network displays graphical representations of the tags via display panels and receives selections of the tags. The historian system contextualizes selected tags based on the metadata values describing the selected tag and determines an optimal visualization scheme for the selected tags. The display device displays graphical representations of values of the tags and dynamically determines optimal grouping of the tags based on properties of the display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2021Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Ravi Kumar Herunde Prakash, Sudhir Gonugunta, Brian Erickson

Patent number: 9829881Abstract: A template-based supervisory process control and manufacturing information application development facility is disclosed that includes a number of time-saving application development tools that significantly enhance design productivity and allow re-using of previously developed application building blocks. The development facility includes an application object template library that stores a set of previously defined application object templates. The template library is accessed by developers through a configuration utility that facilitates specifying instances of the set of previously defined application object templates to be included in an application. Thereafter, application objects are instantiated from the selected ones of the set of previously defined application object templates in a build of the specified application.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2014Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Schneider Electric Software, LLCInventors: Robert M.

Patent number: 8676756Abstract: A multi-tiered replicated process database and corresponding method are disclosed for supporting replication between tiers. The multi-tiered replicated process database comprises a tier one (T1) database server computer including a process history database and a replication service. The replication service includes a set of accumulators. Each accumulator is adapted to render a summary T2 database tag data structure from a set of data values retrieved from the process history database for a specified T1 database tag. The replicated database system also includes a tier two (T2) database server computer comprising a consolidated database that includes process data replicated from a set of T1 database servers. At least a portion of the process data replicated from the set of T1 database servers is summary T2 database tag data rendered by the set of accumulators.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2010Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Invensys Systems, Inc.Inventors: Brian Erickson, Abhijit Manushree, Yevgeny Naryzhny, Vinay Kamath, Clement Lie, Elliot Middleton
