  • Patent number: 10935594
    Abstract: A curve trace analysis testing apparatus controller is provided having a Graphical User Interface electrically connected to a Device Under Test (DUT) by any pin or combination of pins, the DUT being mountable to independent analog channels in the TAC using an electrical connection interface. The TAC can contain 3 different board assemblies: a System Motherboard, a Microprocessor assembly, and TAC Modules. The TAC Modules can have TAC shift registers and solid state switches, and each TAC Module can support a block of pins and at least 2 analog channels.

  • Patent number: 10466893
    Abstract: Touch screen operator control panel for industrial machines, in particular for the control of maneuvering of the axes of injection presses for plastics, including an operator interface on which icons are displayed indicating the various axes of a press, the icons being individually selectable in order to be dragged into an area of maneuvering where they are translatable in the two ways of a prefixed direction to impart the corresponding movements to the selected axis, wherein the possibility is provided of simultaneously displaying in the maneuvering area icons of several press axes correlated one to the other and of actuating sequentially/selectively the movements of these press axes by dragging a central zone of the maneuvering area in the corresponding different directions wherein the respective icons of the press axes are displayed.

  • Patent number: 9746224
    Abstract: A system includes an error module configured to integrate a difference between a superheat signal and a superheat setpoint to generate an error signal, wherein the superheat signal indicates suction superheat values of a compressor. A comparison module is configured to compare the error signal to a first predetermined threshold to generate a first comparison signal based on the comparison. A zero-crossing module is configured to compare a first count value to a second predetermined threshold to generate a second comparison signal. The first count value is generated based on at least one comparison between the superheat signal and the superheat setpoint. A setpoint module is configured to adjust the superheat setpoint based on the first comparison signal and the second comparison signal.

  • Publication number: 20130139529
    Abstract: An air conditioner system including a condenser fan, an ambient temperature sensor, a refrigerant pressure sensor, and a controller. The ambient temperature sensor is to sense ambient temperature at the system. The refrigerant pressure sensor is to sense pressure of a refrigerant of the system. The target refrigerant pressure module is to identify an optimum pressure of the refrigerant in the system. The controller is to generate an output representing a speed of the condenser fan operable to maintain the pressure of the refrigerant at about the optimum pressure as the ambient temperature of the system changes.

  • Patent number: 7991627
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method of pre-delivery drug identification. The system and method is implemented where drugs are being administered, such as in a hospital or clinic, and identifies the drug being administered to the patient before the drug reaches the patient. The system and method may utilize a sensor used for other physiologic monitoring to identify the drug. After identification, the system and method is configured to cross-reference the identified drug with the patient's prescription and allergy information, and to prevent delivery to the patient, if necessary. The system and method also utilizes data collected from the patient with a physiological monitor or a ventilator sensor to further determine whether the drug is appropriate for the patient. The method and system may also include an override system for medical personnel. The method described may be carried out by a software application.

  • Publication number: 20110137845
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for real time processing for mediating Social Media posts to a Social Media Network wherein a Semantic Filter Algorithm is provided. The Semantic Filter Algorithm is an application of Shannon's Entropy algorithm that functions to assess comparative contextual relationships between linguistic signifiers in a multiple of databases. Social Media posts are received by the Social Media Network and are automatically directed to Semantic filtering in multi-passes through the Semantic Filter Algorithm. The posts are automatically processed and an output is generated. Responsive to the output the posts are automatically allocated according to category and prioritized. Metatags are attached to the posts to control further processing regarding the various categories.
