Patent number: 11948707Abstract: A system for providing cable support may be provided. The system may comprise a conductor core, a filler that may provide integral core support, and armor. The conductor core may comprise at least one conductor. The filler may be applied around at least a portion of the conductor core. The armor may be applied around at least a portion of the filler. The applied armor may be configured to cause the filler to apply a strong enough force on an exterior of the conductor core configured to keep the conductor core from slipping down an interior of the filler due to a gravitational force. In addition, the applied armor may be configured to cause the filler to apply a strong enough force on an interior of the armor configured to keep a combination of the conductor core and the filler from slipping down the interior of the armor due to the gravitational force.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2016Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Southwire Company, LLCInventors: Kyle Douglas McGovern, Richard M. Temblador, David Mercier, John Armstrong, Paul H. White, Randy D. Kummer

Patent number: 11611200Abstract: Pulling eyes are provided with integrated wiring systems suitable for installing conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may include body portions that define interior cavities that are sized to snugly engage outside portions of the conductors or cables. The body portions are sized to be deformably crimped onto the outside portions of the conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may also include head portions joined to the body portions, with the head portions defining apertures for receiving a strength member for installing the conductors or cables. These apertures place the interior cavities in communication with the exteriors of the pulling eyes.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2021Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Southwire Company, LLCInventors: John R. Carlson, David Brian McCardel, David A. Cooper, David Mercier, Philip Sasse, Allan W. Daniel, Timothy M. Andrea, Juan Alberto Galindo Gonzalez, Timmothy R. Bardin

Publication number: 20160346566Abstract: A method for estimating a dose gradient of the parameters of a beam of ionizing particles, the dose being deposited by the beam in a voxel of a meshed phantom of a patient, each mesh cell comprising voxels of one and the same material, the parameters of the beam comprising a fluence parameter and geometric parameters, the method comprises the determination of the analytic function for the gradient of the dose, deposited per mesh cell, of the parameters of the beam; and the determination of the estimation of the gradient of the dose in the voxel. Certain procedures for estimating the dose deposited are described. Developments deal with configurations having several independent of partially dependent irradiating beams, optimizations of the treatment plan using cost functions and the management of beams moving along trajectories. The use of servo-controlled robotic arms or of other mobile systems during irradiation is described.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2015Publication date: December 1, 2016Inventors: David MERCIER, Ming-Chao YANG

Publication number: 20150066229Abstract: The control of an energy management installation includes an installation modelling phase (P1) comprising a step (E1) of creating a multi-agent control system including at least energy consuming, distributing and producing agents. The models of the energy distributing agents take into account characteristics concerning the distributing elements of the installation, including the energy distribution and/or consumption constraints and/or the financial and/or environmental distribution costs and/or the influence of the operation of the distributing elements on the operation of the producing elements. The control also comprises an installation regulation phase (P2) comprising an optimization step (E10) using the models incorporated in the agents to optimize the way the energy is produced by the producing agents, distributed by the distributing agents and allocated to the consuming agents.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2013Publication date: March 5, 2015Applicant: COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVESInventors: Benoit Lacroix, David Mercier, Cédric Paulus
