Publication number: 20250109992Abstract: A process variable transmitter for sensing a cryogenic temperature in an industrial process includes a cryogenic temperature sensor configured to be thermally coupled to an industrial process. The cryogenic temperature sensor has an electrical resistance which changes in response to changes in a cryogenic temperature and the industrial process is at the cryogenic temperature. Resistance measurement circuitry is electrically coupled to the cryogenic temperature sensor and measures a sensor resistance over a resistance range and responsively provides an output related to temperature based upon the measured resistance. Transmitter output circuitry coupled to the measurement circuitry to transmits information related to the cryogenic temperature to a remote location.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: April 3, 2025Inventors: David M.

Patent number: 10863135Abstract: An information handling system selectively extends a camera from a housing along an extension axis to collect light along a plane substantially perpendicular to the extension axis. A mirror structure coupled over a light sensor redirects light from along the plane towards the extension axis and into the light sensor. Distortions of the visual image captured by the light sensor are corrected at the information handling system, such as with a digital signal processor integrated with the light sensor. In one embodiment, the mirror structure moves to direct light from only a portion of the plane towards the light sensor.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2017Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: David M. Meyers, Jason S. Morrison

Patent number: 9535464Abstract: An information handling system housing is provided with a base portion, a head portion and a chin portion all coupled via a hinge such that the chin portion are separately articulable. By providing the hinge so that the chin portion can articulate separately from the rest of the head portion, the chin portion can articulate towards the rear of the system. This articulation reduces the table height of the hinge pivot point, and therefore reduces the slope of the base and keyboard assembly.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2015Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: DELL PRODUCTS L.P.Inventors: Lawrence E.

Patent number: 9201465Abstract: An information handling system converts from a closed position to a tablet position by rotating a lid with a display 360 degrees about a hinge having synchronized and continuous motion. The hinge has first and second axles held distal by a spacer. A synchronizer translates motion of each axle to the other to provide fluid movement of the lid relative to the housing. For instance, first and second cables translate rotational motion with the disposition of a discontinuous figure eight between the first and second axles.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: David M.

Patent number: 9122455Abstract: An information handling system converts from a closed position to a tablet position by rotating a lid with a display 360 degrees about a hinge having motion translated between lid and housing portions through first and second engage gears of different diameters. The hinge has first and second axles held in a spaced and substantially parallel orientation by a support with first and second gears having a gear ratio of substantially 2.54 to 1. Overall system thickness is reduced by having a lid portion gear with a diameter of substantially the thickness of the lid portion and a housing portion gear with a diameter of substantially the thickness of the housing portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2013Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventor: David M.
