Patent number: 10866965Abstract: Methods and systems for synchronizing data may enable a computer to synchronize data by connecting to a peer computer via a network connection. The computer may receive a remote table from the peer computer, wherein the remote table comprises an object comprising a vector. The computer may determine whether the object is present in a local table. When the object is present in the local table, the computer may determine whether the vector in the remote table and the vector in the local table match. When the vectors do not match, the computer may determine whether a record of a change to the object is present in a local transaction log. The computer may receive data from the peer computer indicating whether a record of a change to the object is present in a remote transaction log when the vectors do not match.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: NECTAR HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Matthew R. Kiefer, Daniel P. Martin, Edmond Baydian

Patent number: 9350811Abstract: A network may comprise a plurality of nodes wherein each of the plurality of nodes is associated with one of a plurality of hives. A computer may connect to the network by establishing node data for each of the plurality of nodes, the node data indicating a hive with which the node is associated and including a flag indicating whether a connection attempt associated with the node is or has been unsuccessful. When a connection attempt is successful, the computer may determine whether the node to which the computer is connected is a preferred node associated with the preferred hive based on the node data. The computer may connect to the preferred node associated with the preferred hive when the node to which the computer is connected is not the preferred node associated with the preferred hive and the preferred node associated with the preferred hive is not marked unsuccessful.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Nectar Services Corp.Inventors: Matthew R.

Patent number: 8560225Abstract: The present invention includes a system and method for selecting a unique geographic feature, including a mobile device that uses position and orientation sensors to determine a user position and a user orientation. The mobile device is adapted for wireless communication with a database that houses or has access to data concerning geographic features, as well as processing and computing means for calculating specific geographic relations discussed in further detail below. The system of the present invention further includes means for selecting among those features that are topologically related to the polygon. These include means for defining the geometry of the polygon, means for filtering those features that should not be within the geometry of the polygon, and means for ranking those features within the polygon. The method of the present invention is operable in conjunction with the system through the system hardware and software.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2008Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: iPointer, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Edward Frank, Markus Wuersch, Daniel P. Martin

Patent number: 5494318Abstract: A secondary containment piping system is composed of a plurality of modules of concentric pipe. The inner pipe carries fluid being transported, and the outer pipe provides secondary containment of fluid leaking from the inner pipe. The module consists of a length of inner pipe centred in a length of outer pipe by a series of spiders or ribs, fastened to one or both of the pipes. The ends of both inner and outer pipes are coplanar and perpendicular to the axis of the module. Successive modules are joined by simultaneously welding the inner and outer pipes of one module to the corresponding pipes of an adjacent module, the preferred material for the pipes is HDPE and the welding is accomplished using electric fusion welding techniques.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1994Date of Patent: February 27, 1996Inventors: Nicholas E. Butts, George J. Donovan, Daniel P. Martin

Patent number: 5215556Abstract: Apparatus and method for temperature gradient capillary gas chromatography wherein the chromatography column is surrounded by an inner tube and the inner tube is surrounded by an outer tube. A first heat transfer fluid is heated to a first temperature and is flowed between the inner tube and the column in the same direction as the flow of carrier gas through the capillary column. A second heat transfer fluid is heated to a second temperature and is flowed in the opposite direction between the outer tube and the inner tube, the second temperature being lower than the first temperature.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 1992Date of Patent: June 1, 1993Assignee: The Dow Chemical CompanyInventors: Joseph F. Hiller, Glen H. Hughes, Daniel P. Martin

Patent number: 4824126Abstract: The power chuck of the invention features a series of rocker arms which are linked by toggles to the chuck's actuator. The rocker arms are mounted on pivot pins which pivot with respect to carriers within the body of the chuck. The center of gravity of the toggle, rocker arm and jaw mounted on the end of the rocker arm is located inwardly of the pivot pin so to provide increasing clamping force as the rotational speed of the chuck increases. A spring within the carrier provides a pull-back action on the workpiece during clamping.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1986Date of Patent: April 25, 1989Inventor: Daniel P. Martin
