Patent number: 9665873Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for analyzing an activity session. Data from a monitoring device worn by a user of the system for example is received over a period of time or distance and a classification system of the invention is utilized in real time or post session to determine the activities performed by the user during the session. The data collected relates to multiple parameters monitored during the activity session. The classification system defines an activity using a set of threshold criteria for a combination of parameters and therefore identifies a particular activity performed during the activity session when a combination of monitored parameters satisfies the threshold criteria for a particular activity. Determining the activities performed in this way allows for more useful interpretation of the data which in turn leads to more effective coaching advice and feedback for the user.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2011Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: Performance Lab Technologies LimitedInventors: Jonathan Edward Bell Ackland, Kerri Anne McMaster

Publication number: 20160248208Abstract: A new infrastructure for mobile devices and electronic loose equipment, preferably an aircraft infrastructure, is designed to be deployed for both new production aircraft and the after-market installed base for all parts of the aircraft that have human interaction, such as the galley, cockpit or cabin. The architecture is designed around two main objectives: creating stylized and functional products with flexibility in design and providing reliability and maintainability for operators while integrating power and charging mediums to those devices. This architecture is composed of several elements that as a whole complete our new architecture for mobile devices and electronic loose equipment design.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2014Publication date: August 25, 2016Applicant: INGENIO AEROSPACEInventors: Daniel Mircea DONIA, James Edward BELL

Patent number: 7770030Abstract: A system and method for enabling broadcast programs to be copied once only by consumer recorders includes writing a unique media identification on each blank disk to which content is to copied in a read-only area of the disk before it is initially recorded. Also, a one-way key management media key block is written to the disk. A content key is derived by combining a media key, derived from the media key block, with the media identification. Additionally, to facilitate copying the content one time only, an exchange key is established between the recorder and a sender such as a satellite receiver or a disk player that is associated with the recorder, and the exchange key is modified with one or more special numbers representing control commands including copy once and copy no more. The modified exchange key is then encrypted using the content key to render an encrypted modified exchange key, and the encrypted modified exchange key is then hashed with a nonce to render a bus content key.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2008Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignees: International Business Machines Corporation, Intel CorporationInventors: Alan Edward Bell, Jeffrey Bruce Lotspiech, Chandler Brendan Stanton Traw

Patent number: 7240338Abstract: Common data structures associated with procedurally-oriented software, such as Fortran COMMON blocks, are translated into object-oriented (OO) classes. Procedurally-oriented software modules are reduced in complexity by extracting an appropriate number of sub-modules from the original source code so that the original module and each extracted module is below a predetermined complexity level, if possible. The original module and extracted modules are assigned to an object-oriented class based upon a measure of each modules' association to the respective class' data members, where the assigned modules are then translated into object-oriented methods. This approach greatly reduces overall system development time and costs by automatically generating maintainable object-oriented code based upon translated procedurally-oriented source code.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2003Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Assignee: ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Edward A.

Publication number: 20070137518Abstract: An anti-spin, anti-drift assembly for installation on a railroad car plug-type door locking mechanism of the type having a gear segment rotatably mounted on the door, rotatable pipes mounted on the plug-type door, rods pivotally connected to the gear segment and to the rotatable pipes so that rotation of the gear segment brings about rotation of the pipes and opening and closing of the plug-type door. The anti-spin, anti-drift assembly includes a worm gear meshing with the gear segment. A speed up gear is located at one end of the worm gear. A drive gear meshes with the speed up gear and an operating wheel rotates the drive gear.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2005Publication date: June 21, 2007Inventor: Edward Bell

Patent number: 7082413Abstract: A system and method for enabling authorized music from a CD or DVD to be compressed by a user for the user's own use, but to prevent the recompression of unauthorized music from, e.g., the Internet, includes hashing the music during recording with a cryptographic hash, and then signing the hash with a digital signature derived from the hash. Subsequent unauthorized compression and recompression will destroy the digital signature. Accordingly, music to be recorded is hashed to obtain a test digital signature and if, after hashing, the test digital signature matches the digital signature accompanying the music, compression and recording are allowed to proceed.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 1999Date of Patent: July 25, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Alan Edward Bell, Jeffrey Bruce Lotspiech

Patent number: 6998625Abstract: An ion implanter includes an ion source for generating an ion beam, an analyzer for separating unwanted components from the ion beam, a first beam transport device for transporting the ion beam through the analyzer at a first transport energy, a first deceleration stage positioned downstream of the analyzer for decelerating the ion beam from the first transport energy to a second transport energy, a beam filter positioned downstream of the first deceleration stage for separating neutral particles from the ion beam, a second beam transport device for transporting the ion beam through the beam filter at the second transport energy, a second deceleration stage positioned downstream of the beam filter for decelerating the ion beam from the second transport energy to a final energy, and a target site for supporting a target for ion implantation. The ion beam is delivered to the target site at the final energy.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2000Date of Patent: February 14, 2006Assignee: Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc.Inventors: Charles M.

Publication number: 20050271490Abstract: A load restraining device that provides a system in which straps extending from one side of a web strap arrangement initially run parallel to the wall to which they are connected, as opposed to extending perpendicular to the wall as in the prior art. The anchor itself is a horizontal wall member running longitudinally along the wall of the railcar or trailer. An adjustable anchor is used to permit moving the attachment point several inches to allow for load variations. The attachment of the web strap arrangement is normally 14? to 18? behind the face of the load. Unlike previous systems, this provision of anchor points behind the load effectively “encapsulates” the load rather than merely providing a bulkhead effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2005Publication date: December 8, 2005Inventors: Stuart Thomson, Mark Zhan, Edward Bell

Publication number: 20050084358Abstract: A loading restraint and engaging system. The system includes a plurality of rails that are mounted to the side walls of a box car. Each rail is positioned using a locator pin that extends into the car end wall and engages the rail. An end cap or rub rail ramp is provided adjacent the box car door for assisting in moving lading into the car. Wall and floor anchors are provided. Lading restraining nets are provided which engage wall anchors and the end face(s) of the lading.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2004Publication date: April 21, 2005Inventors: Stuart Thomson, Edward Bell
