Patent number: 11754656Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer program product for enabling multi-point shunt calibration of a sensor device. Multi-point shunt calibration provides at least a first, second, and third simulated calibration output, each simulated calibration output corresponding to an actual reading value and an expected reading value. The simulated calibration outputs are associated with a predefined output sequence, where each simulated calibration output is separated from an adjacent simulated calibration output by an output step size. Some embodiments are configured for automatically outputting each simulated calibration output for a particular period of time before outputting an adjacent simulated calibration output in the predefined output sequence. The various simulated calibration outputs, actual reading values, and/or expected values may be used in determining calibrated reading values for the sensor device.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2023Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Vishal Malhan, Raghavendra Shenoy, Brian Richards

Patent number: 10620061Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for providing a seal between an expansion plug and an opening in a load pin. A load pin may comprise a strain gauge located within an opening in a body of the load pin; an expansion plug configured to seal with the opening, covering the strain gauge; and a sealing material attached to at least a portion of the expansion plug configured to seal between the expansion plug and the opening. A method may comprise selecting a sealing material configured to prevent damage to the expansion plug from the external environment, based on the environment in which the expansion plug will be used; applying the sealing material to at least a portion of the expansion plug; vulcanizing the sealing material to the expansion plug to combine the two elements; and inserting the expansion plug into the opening.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2016Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Madhusudhan H, Michael Moran, Sivaprakash Eswaran, Andrew Kelly, Sudheer Beligere, Brian Richards, Vasanth Sivasubramanian

Patent number: 10553988Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to an anti-rotation device (ARD) including a cylindrical ring extending along a longitudinal axis, the ring including proximal and distal faces. In an illustrative example, the ring may include proximal coupling members extending from the proximal face insertably engaging with mating recesses within a connector-disk. The ring may include distal coupling members extending from the distal face insertably engaging with mating recesses within a body-assembly, for example. The coupling members may extend, for example, parallel to the longitudinal axis. The ARD may be captured between the connector-disk and the body-assembly and may be retained by a proximal twist-lock cap screwably engaged with the body-assembly, such that relative rotational motion between the connector-disk and the body-assembly is substantially restricted, for example.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2019Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Deepak Surendra Koparde, Veeresh Shivaprakash Yagati, Naveen Kumar Mn, Brian Richards, Tungsheng Yang

Patent number: 10031529Abstract: Unmanned vehicle (UV) control may include receiving a UV work order and generating a mission request based on the UV work order. The mission request may identify an objective of a mission, assign a UV and a sensor to the mission from a fleet of UVs and sensors, and assign a first movement plan to the mission based on the identified objective of the mission. The assigned UV may be controlled according to the assigned first movement plan, and communication data may be received from the assigned sensor. The communication data may be analyzed to identify an event related to the mission. The identified event and the first movement plan may be analyzed to assign a second movement plan to the mission based on the analysis of the identified event and the first movement plan to meet the identified objective of the mission.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2016Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: ACCENTURE GLOBAL SERVICES LIMITEDInventors: Pramila Mullan, Walid Negm, Edy S.

Patent number: 10013531Abstract: Context based AR may include receiving a first wireless signal from a pair of context based AR glasses worn by a user. The context based AR glasses may include a display viewable by the user and a camera to image an object viewed by the user. The image of the object may be analyzed, and compared to images of objects stored in a database that includes information associated with the images of the objects. Based on a match, the object viewed by the user may be identified. Based on collaboration of the user with personnel disposed remotely from the user, and the identified object, a second wireless signal may be sent to the pair of context based AR glasses to provide information related to the collaboration, and to further superimpose the information associated with the identified object adjacent to and/or on top of the object viewed by the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2013Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: ACCENTURE GLOBAL SERVICES LIMITEDInventors: Brian Richards, Brent Robert Blum, Timothy Li, Byron John Schmidt, Amjad-Ali Khoja
