Publication number: 20240124288Abstract: A portable, self-contained beverage apparatus includes a container assembly having a known storage capacity for storing a consumable liquid, and a dispensing assembly disposed within the container assembly that dispenses variable, non-zero quantities of additives into the consumable liquid. The dispensing assembly includes multiple apertures structured and arranged to retain vessels containing the additives to be dispensed into the consumable liquid. The beverage apparatus also includes a level sensor disposed within the container assembly that determines a consumable liquid level of the consumable liquid stored in the container assembly. In certain embodiments, one or more positive displacement pumping mechanisms are configured to pump additive liquid from additive containers into a beverage chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Cirkul, Inc.Inventors: Mark Lyons, Jonathon Perrelli, Robert Lawson-Shanks, Abraham Maclean, Connor Bacon, James Christopher Small, Jesse John Horne, Simon Lewis Bilton, Matthew James Edwards, Andrew Gordon Wallace, Maxim D.

Publication number: 20180207582Abstract: A poison-resistant catalytic converter includes a washcoat having a support material comprised of titania and/or silica and a plurality of platinum group metal particles disposed in the support material. The washcoat is disposed on a substrate having a plurality of cells that define respective apertures. The catalytic converter is resistant to poisoning from sulfur and phosphorous compounds while operating at low temperatures. Applications include spark ignited internal combustion engines in combined heat and power systems, vehicles, combustion turbines, boilers and other applications for utilities, industry and vehicle emissions control.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2018Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventors: Jean Roy, Robert Panora, Daniel W. Ott, David J. Wallace

Patent number: 9647891Abstract: Provided are systems, methods and computer program products that proactively manage configurations that enable a service. Configurations that are critical to enabling a particular service are automatically captured, for example as part of a provisioning activity, and/or tracked in association with that service. This automated, service-oriented configuration management enables improved service assurance and faster identification of problems, and mitigates the problem of errors and compromised service delivery that can arise from misconfigurations.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2013Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Timothy R. Croy, Matthew E. Duggan, Robert P. Fulton, Trevor Graham, Kevin M. Hamilton, David J. Wallace

Patent number: 9621420Abstract: Method and system are provided for network device configuration management. The method includes: receiving a set of user commands for configuration of a network device; retrieving a syntactic model of a network device configuration interface for a network device type and generating a modelled configuration of a current configuration of the network device; predicting the effect of the user command on the modelled configuration to generate a predicted modelled configuration; and applying rules for a user and/or network device type to determine if the command is permitted based on the predicted modelled configuration of the network device. Predicting the effect of the user command predicts in near real-time the effect on the network device configuration of a command that the user enters.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2012Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ivor G. Bradley, Timothy R. Croy, Trevor Graham, Kevin M. Hamilton, David J. Wallace

Patent number: 6542181Abstract: An aerial videocamera system for installation on an airplane comprises a videocamera/recorder which has an internal stabilization system, a camera mounting enclosure that provides a weather-proof enclosure with vibration isolation for the videocamera, and a pan/tilt head that bolts to a spar attachment plate and provides variable control to the camera in both the pan and tilt axis. The spar attachment plate is secured to the airplane and provides an access point for cabling carrying power, position control signals, and camera video and control to connect the externally mounted systems to components housed in the cabin. In the cabin, a pan/tilt controller processes input control signals from a joystick mounted on a control wand and outputs control and power signals to control the position of the videocamera. The control wand precisely positions the remote camera and controls the camera functions. A power package draws DC power from the airplane battery and converts it to AC power for the active components.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2000Date of Patent: April 1, 2003Assignee: Aerial Videocamera Systems, Inc.Inventors: Richard V. Houska, David J. Wallace
