Publication number: 20240068274Abstract: A mortise lock and motor-assisted method of operating. The mortise lock comprises a case, a lever arm, a latch bolt having a linkage, a PCB having a controller and a microprocessor, and a motor assembly. An actuating element including a projection is disposed outside the motor assembly to move the latch bolt from the extended to retracted positions. The microprocessor is configured to detect a stall signal during the motor assembly's initial cycle operation indicating failure of a latch bolt retraction parameter. Upon detection of the stall signal, the controller causes the motor assembly to perform a second cycle operation to move the latch bolt from the extended position to the retracted position.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Daniel Riley, Ian Sweeney

Patent number: 11823409Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for solar tracking and controlling an angular position of a photovoltaic power system. The solar tracking system includes an imaging device for capturing images of the sky; a solar position data generating module; and a control system comprising a neural network. The neural network has multiple convolutional layers to generate a first output associated with the images, and a solar position data module. A first dense layer module receives the solar position data and generates a second output. A second dense layer module receives the first output and the second output and generates a concatenated data sequence. A processor is programmed to generate a multi-planar irradiance signal (MPIS) in response to the concatenated data sequence, and determine an angular position of the PV power system and adjust the angular position in response to an angle of maximum irradiance.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLCInventors: Joshua Stein, Jennifer Lee Braid, Benjamin Garrett Pierce, Daniel Riley

Patent number: 11156016Abstract: An anti-ligature handle and escutcheon mechanism mountable on a door for operating a lock for securing the door. The mechanism comprises a handle movable between open and closed positions, the handle having a smoothly curved outer surface to prevent the attachment of a ligature thereto and comprising a pivot at a first end for rotating the handle between the open and closed positions to operate the lock. An escutcheon fixed relative to a backing plate is oriented for mounting parallel to the door when the mechanism is mounted on an outer surface of the door, wherein the escutcheon surrounds the handle and defines a recessed area within which the handle pivots. The handle further has a second end including a guide which is trapped beneath and slides along an arcuate edge of the recessed area of the escutcheon to maintain flush contact between a mating surface of the handle and the backing plate to prevent ligatures from being inserted therebetween as the handle rotates to operate the lock.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2018Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: SARGENT MANUFACTURING COMPAYInventors: Daniel Riley, Eric Palmieri, Tracy F.

Patent number: 10054443Abstract: The various technologies presented herein relate to determining a location of an individual, or an object, when a GPS may be unavailable/occluded. Readings from a plurality of sensors on a mobile device can be generating a plurality of data (e.g., speed, motion, temperature, biometric, etc.) which can be combined to generate a probability of a user of the mobile device being at a particular location, or not. Sensor readings can be weighted to enable sensors having a large effect on a degree of confidence of the probability of the user being determined to be at a location being given priority (e.g., battery priority) versus those sensors which have lesser effect on the degree of confidence. With the user determined to be at a location, information, a notification, an instruction, etc., can be presented to the user, via the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2015Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLCInventors: Silpan M.

Patent number: 9939485Abstract: The various technologies presented herein relate to providing prognosis and health management (PHM) of a photovoltaic (PV) system. A PV PHM system can eliminate long-standing issues associated with detecting performance reduction in PV systems. The PV PHM system can utilize an ANN model with meteorological and power input data to facilitate alert generation in the event of a performance reduction without the need for information about the PV PHM system components and design. Comparisons between system data and the PHM model can provide scheduling of maintenance on an as-needed basis. The PHM can also provide an approach for monitoring system/component degradation over the lifetime of the PV system.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2013Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLCInventors: Jay Johnson, Daniel Riley

Patent number: 9300125Abstract: An improved overload relay includes a number of current transformers that draw power from a circuit it protects to power itself. The current transformers charge a capacitor which powers a processor and which can energize a solenoid to initiate the interruption of the circuit. The overload relay further includes a capacitor analysis circuit which detects an operational parameter of the capacitor and enables a processor to determine when the energy storage capability of the capacitor has dropped to a predetermined threshold. In the event of such a determination, the overload relay can perform any of a number of actions.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2010Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: EATON CORPORATIONInventors: Matthew Wilbur Naiva, Mark Alan Verheyen, Joseph Daniel Riley
