Patents by Inventor Earl L. Hinrichs

Earl L. Hinrichs has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6026431
    Abstract: The present invention provides to a user parameter-specific information. In one embodiment, a server receives from a client a parameter-specific information request, which identifies at least one parameter corresponding to the requested parameter-specific information. A file processing program is then invoked to process a first information file. The file processing program reads from the first information file code segments, including both client-displayable segments and segments executable by the file processing program ("FPP-executable code segments"). If the code segment is client-displayable, the file processing program sends to the client the client-displayable code from the client-displayable code segment. On the other hand, if the code segment is FPP-executable, the file processing program executes the FPP-executable code. In doing so, it sends to the client additional client-displayable code in response to the at least one parameter identified in the information request.

  • Patent number: 4486840
    Abstract: A computer numeric control for metal forming which allows the automatic selecting of gauge position and ram position allowing both variables to act to produce bends in forming materials with different flange lengths and angles. The system also offers programming and calibration features comprising significant improvements over prior art apparatus and methods. The system integrates the press control circuitry and all precise control of flange length which can be programmed and offers precise control of the bend angle which can be programmed. Multiple programs can be stored and later retrieved. The apparatus can be calibrated in either English or metric units. Magnetic cassettes and printers can be utilized for permanent storage of programs and to produce permanent records on paper.
