Patent number: 11969206Abstract: Intra-cardiac voltage data display systems display a plurality of data sets derived at least from intra-cardiac voltage data sampled by an electrode. In some embodiments, at least some of the data sets are derived from a portion of the intra-cardiac voltage data that excludes an excludable portion of the intra-cardiac voltage data having a relationship with an occurrence of a particular cardiac event to facilitate identification of the existence of a transmural lesion in tissue adjacent the electrode. In some embodiments, the particular cardiac event is the occurrence of an R wave in the cardiac cycle, and the excludable portion is a V wave in the cardiac cycle.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: KARDIUM INC.Inventors: Daniel Robert Weinkam, Daniel Martin Reinders, Darrell Anthony Harrington, Douglas Wayne Goertzen, Michael Hermann Weber

Patent number: 11906343Abstract: A rail vehicle includes a truck having wheels for engaging a railroad track, a bolster supported by the truck, and a tank supported by the bolster for storing a lading. A measurement system measures the level of the lading within the tank and includes gauges and a controller. The gauges are disposed at selected points on the bolster for sensing at least one of lateral and longitudinal localized displacement experienced by the bolster during motion of the rail vehicle. The controller calculates the level of the lading within the tank and compensates for changes in the level of the lading during motion of the rail vehicle in response to signals generated by the gauges.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: BNSF Railway CompanyInventors: Darrell Robert Krueger, Corey D.

Patent number: 9434014Abstract: A broaching machine includes a support structure, a pulling head for releasably coupling to an end of a broach, and an acme screw coupled to the pulling head for linearly moving the pulling head along a portion of the support structure. A gearbox assembly is supported by the support structure and is coupled to the acme screw for translating an applied rotational forced into linear motion of the acme screw and the pulling head. A first adapter plate is supported by the support structure for mating with a compatible second adapter plate coupled to a railroad rail. The first adapter plate includes an aperture allowing a broach coupled to the pulling head to linearly travel through a pilot hole formed through the railroad rail in response to the applied rotational force and responsive linear motion of the acme screw and the pulling head.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2014Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: BNSF Railway CompanyInventor: Darrell Robert Krueger

Publication number: 20100071681Abstract: Embodiments of stone cutting apparatus may include at least one sheave, which is coupled to a stone cutting belt to drivingly engage the stone cutting belt. Belt may include an endless cable, numerous abrasive segments disposed along the length of the cable, and a flexible belt body encapsulating the cable, and extending into the abrasive segments and between the abrasive segments. The abrasive segments may include a diamond top portion, a metal bottom portion, a first side, a second side, a first end and a second end. At least one bore in each abrasive segment, extending from the first and through the second end, is adapted to house the cable. The perimeter of the bore may be formed by the top diamond portion, the metal bottom portion and the interface between the diamond and metal portions of the abrasive segment. In another embodiment, each abrasive segment may further include a cutting portion and a mounting portion. The cutting portion faces a stone to be cut, and may project above the main belt body.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2008Publication date: March 25, 2010Inventor: Darrell Robert Bade

Patent number: 7499530Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for on-demand recording of telephone, computer, or video signals. Once a connection is established, the communication signals are sent through an intermediary device, which duplicates the signals. The signals are then stored in memory until a triggering event occurs during the connection. If the triggering event occurs, then the signals in memory are stored for playback. If the triggering event does not occur prior to the termination of the connection, the signals in memory are erased.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2002Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: Telstrat Int'l, LtdInventors: Robert Carroll, Darrell Roberts, Theodore Edwards

Publication number: 20060233321Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for on-demand recording of a voice session by a telephone recording device in a telecommunication network. After establishing a voice session between the telephone recording device and at least one communication device, a user of the telephone recording device may instruct it to store voice data during the voice session so long as the voice session has not been terminated. During the voice session, the telephone recording device processes and transmits the voice data to and saved at a storage server without going through a centrally located exchange device, wherein the saved voice data is available for on-demand replay.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2006Publication date: October 19, 2006Inventors: Kirk Barker, Darrell Roberts
