Publication number: 20250020350Abstract: Apparatus for remote monitoring of environmental conditions within a plurality of buildings is disclosed, comprising a plurality of sensor modules each disposed within a respective one of the plurality of buildings, and a server disposed at a location remote from the buildings. Each sensor module is configured to measure one or more parameters indicative of an environmental condition, and transmit data indicative of values of the respective one or more parameters to the server. The server is configured to determine whether the received data is indicative of an undesired condition in at least one building, and to take a predefined corrective action to mitigate said undesired condition depending on whether the received data is indicative of the undesired condition. Optionally, the server and/or sensor modules comprise a sensor controller, which can reduce the power consumption of a sensor module under circumstances where the environmental condition can be monitored less frequently.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2022Publication date: January 16, 2025Applicant: ZapCarbon LimitedInventors: Andrew SMITH, Dale HOLROYD

Patent number: 11988411Abstract: An inline heater includes a heater core that includes a heat spreader assembly comprising a tubular heat spreader that extends axially along a longitudinal axis and that comprises an external surface. The heat spreader assembly includes a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. At least one conduit extends helically about the longitudinal axis of the heat spreader between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet to define a fluid heating flow path that fluidically connects the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. The heat spreader assembly further comprising an electrically operated heating element for heating the heat spreader.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Tom Richards, Inc.Inventors: David R. Barnhart, Howard J. Base, Dale A. Smith

Patent number: 11733047Abstract: Exemplary methods and systems provide for production of geographically located, accurate indoor maps of physical spaces and provide navigation guidance for users in physical spaces, and process requests for users related to available physical space within said physical spaces. Aggregated information about the physical spaces is curated and converted using automated procedures into a data model that contains all elements of said physical spaces, including geographic data about the physical space's location on the globe. The system and computer program embodiments retrieve the converted data, load it on mobile devices or computers, rendering it on these devices in the correct global geographic context, allowing users to interact with the data to select rooms, and send and receive requests to and from external systems regarding these selections. Users navigate within the physical spaces using mobile devices and the computer program embodiments in tandem to provide accurate directions and guidance.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: LOKION INTERACTIVE, LLCInventors: Christopher Fitch, Sam Lee, Kevin Yancy, Vaskin Kissoyan, Mike O'Hearn, Dale Smith, Douglas O'Brien, Patrick Miller, Marcus Stafford

Patent number: 11634587Abstract: A coating for vehicle components, such as frame assemblies and cradle assemblies formed of steel, is provided. The coating includes a first layer including a high phosphate composition applied to the substrate, and a second layer including wax applied to the first layer. For example, the first layer can include a first inorganic acid, an inorganic salt, a second inorganic acid, nickel salt, and ammonium bifluoride; and the second layer can include petroleum, carbon black pigment, and a corrosion inhibitor, the corrosion inhibitor including magnesium. The coating has been found to improve corrosion resistance when applied to steel substrates, compared to wax coatings which are currently applied to steel substrates.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2018Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventor: Kevin Dale Smith

Patent number: 11366883Abstract: Methods and systems for deploying an enhanced processing system that performs reflection based endpoint security testing are described herein. A computing system may determine, by performing reflection on a web server library, controller types corresponding to an API. For each of the controller types, the computing system may determine method information objects corresponding to the respective controller types. Based on calls to an endpoint method for each of the one or more method information objects, the computing system may determine endpoint failures associated with the API. The endpoint methods may correspond to each of the one or more method information objects. Based on the determined endpoint failures associated with the API, the computing system may adjust one or more endpoints of the API.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2018Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Scott William Burnette, Dale Smith

Patent number: 11277436Abstract: Identifying and mitigating harm from malicious network connections by a container. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving, from a shim, notifications of all network connections that a container has sought to establish through the shim. The method may also include monitoring all actual network connections established by the container. The method may further include comparing the notifications to the actual network connections to determine whether any actual network connection established by the container bypassed the shim. The method may also include, in response to determining that any actual network connection established by the container bypassed the shim, identifying the network connection established by the container that bypassed the shim as a malicious network connection, and performing a security action to mitigate harm from the malicious network connection.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: CA, INC.Inventors: Spencer Dale Smith, Frank X. Barajas, Paul D. Hernandez

Patent number: 11253414Abstract: An armrest assembly is disclosed herein. The armrest assembly includes a main body with a proximal adjustment assembly disposed at a first end and a distal adjustment assembly disposed at a second end. The proximal adjustment assembly provides for adjustment of the main body about a first axis. The distal adjustment assembly provides for adjustment of an arm pad about a second axis as well as a third axis. To prevent damage, a breakaway assembly is provided by the distal adjustment assembly to unlock the arm pad from a raised position and lower it into a lower position in the event a weight applied to the arm pad is beyond a particular weight threshold.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Midmark CorporationInventors: Jeffrey T. DeBord, Richard Lee Lane, Rainer Bernhard Teufel, Arthur Dale Smith, Brent Michael Willey
