Patent number: 11829114Abstract: Systems and methods of a Hierarchical Smart Asset Control Application development and Integrated Smart Asset Control System optimization are disclosed. In various embodiments, the system may develop a Hierarchical Asset Control Application and corresponding control hardware requirements. This can be used to create an Integrated Smart Asset Control System in order execute various processes for a set of equipment elements. The smart assets associated with the system may utilize intelligent agents to balance operational constraints and operational objects in order to determine real-time optimized operational parameters for a process and implement the appropriate controls to facilitate achieving the improved operational objectives.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2016Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC SYSTEMS USA, INC.Inventors: Peter G Martin, Donald C Clark, Richard L Linscott

Patent number: 10663957Abstract: Systems and methods are described for control and/or asset performance management of a system, in-situ, at an asset. A system application model can be deployed to at least a first network node fixed, in-situ, at the asset using a short-range, low-power communication network. The first network node can execute a master avatar using the deployed system application model and generate, at a second network node, a master-slave avatar using the master avatar executed at the first network node. The master avatar and/or master-slave avatar can be configured to perform control of the system, in-situ, at the first network node and the second network node.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2017Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.Inventors: Donald C. Clark, Richard Linwood Linscott

Publication number: 20120323712Abstract: A transaction product includes a substantially rigid housing, a pump assembly, and an account identifier. The substantially rigid housing defines a substantially liquid-tight reservoir, an outflow aperture, and an external surface. The substantially liquid-tight reservoir is configured to maintain a liquid therein. The pump assembly is enclosed within the substantially rigid housing and is in communication with the substantially liquid-tight reservoir and the outflow aperture. The pump assembly is configured to move liquid from the substantially liquid-tight reservoir, through the pump assembly, and out the outflow aperture and into an external environment surrounding the substantially rigid housing. The account identifier is statically connected to the external surface of the substantially rigid housing and links the substantially rigid housing to at least one of an account and a record and is machine readable by a point-of-sale terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2011Publication date: December 20, 2012Applicant: TARGET BRANDS, INC.Inventors: Brian R. HOLT, Jesse GADOLA, Rafael SORIANO, Donald C. CLARK
