Patent number: 9711886Abstract: An apparatus for installing or replacing license software such as in a device or secure digital card of a controller. The apparatus may have a door that is situated in a base of the controller. The door may slide down to provide an opening that permits access to a place, an area or receptacle that holds the card. The door may not necessarily be open-able until the controller is removed from a panel, a din rail, or some other structure, where a removal of power has to occur. The door may be designed so that it blends in with the base in that just qualified installers are aware of how to find the door for access to the card. To close the door, the card needs to be fully installed before the door can be closed. The door may be designed with hook features to prevent its removal from the controller base.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2015Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventor: Daniel Williamson

Patent number: 6752781Abstract: A gas-powered, durable, needle-less hypodermic jet injection device (10, 210) includes a hand-held injector (12, 212) which receives into an injection cylinder a volume of liquid medication to be injected in the form of a high velocity jet capable of penetrating the skin without the use of a hypodermic needle. The injection device provides an injection orifice, and an injection piston. Forceful movement of the injection piston causes a high velocity injection jet of liquid medication to be expelled from the injection cylinder via the injection orifice. The injection device includes features which improve its usability, particularly for users with hands that are possibly weak, feeble, or arthritic, for example; and also includes additional features which improve manufacturability, durability, and cost effectiveness of the device.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2002Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Inventors: Sergio Landau, Daniel Williamson

Patent number: 5580507Abstract: A method of making a mold from a model is disclosed. A mold carrier is formed having an aperture therein. The aperture has a configuration generally corresponding to the shape of the model. The model is positioned within the aperture such that a space is created between the outer peripheral surface of the aperture and the outer peripheral surface of the model. A resilient first material in its liquid state is poured into the space such that the first material substantially covers the outer peripheral surface of the model. The resilient first material is allowed to solidify in the space such that a resilient mold insert is formed. The mold insert forms an impression of the outer peripheral surface of the model and is disposed along the inner peripheral surface of the aperture. The model is removed from the resilient mold insert. A second material in its liquid state is poured into the aperture of the mold carrier with the resilient mold insert disposed along the inner peripheral surface of the aperture.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 1995Date of Patent: December 3, 1996Assignee: Nike, Inc.Inventors: Daniel A.

Patent number: 3970625Abstract: A process for preparing an improved urea-formaldehyde concentrate particularly adapted for production of slow-release nitrogenous fertilizers. The improvement is achieved by accurately controlling the buffer strength and the degree of polymerization of the urea-formaldehyde concentrate within specified critical limits. The process can be operated to also produce a different urea-formaldehyde concentrate suitable for use in adhesives.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1974Date of Patent: July 20, 1976Assignee: Allied Chemical CorporationInventors: William Percy Moore, James Earl Sansing, Harold Daniel Williamson
