  • Publication number: 20240328694
    Abstract: A temperature control system for a controlled environment room comprises a room evaporator, a variable speed compressor, and a condenser. A fluid return loop connects an outlet of the room evaporator refrigerant through the compressor, the condenser and back to an inlet of the room evaporator. A metering valve is interposed in the fluid return loop between the condenser and the room evaporator. Return air from the room is cycled through the room evaporator and back into the room. A room temperature sensor inside the room communicates with a control unit adapted to use input from the room temperature sensor to adjust the compressor speed and control the metering valve to meter mass flow to the room evaporator whereby the metering valve and the compressor cooperate to maintain the mass flow at a level required to maintain a temperature setpoint of the room while limiting compressor frequency.

  • Publication number: 20230236356
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a thin coated optical fiber that enables connector assembly without stripping the optical fiber. In particular, the thin coating comprises a hard coating, a dye concentrate, and an adhesion promoter. The formulation of the coating promotes adhesion to a glass cladding of the optical fiber and to a ferrule bore (into which the optical fiber is inserted) by not causing silane decomposition of the coating. Moreover, the coating is colored to enable, among other things, fiber identification within a connector. The thin coated optical fibers exhibit good mechanical and optical performance properties as discussed herein.

  • Patent number: 11086850
    Abstract: Processing is provided for operating an in-memory database, wherein transaction data is stored by a persistence buffer in an FIFO queue, and update processor subsequently: waits for a trigger; extracts the last transactional data associated with a single transaction of the in-memory database from the FIFO memory queue; determines if the transaction data includes updates to data fields in the in-memory database which were already processed; and if not, then stores the extracted transaction data to a store queue, remembering the fields updated in the in-memory database, or otherwise updates the store queue with the extracted transaction data. The process continues until the extracting is complete, and the content of the store queue is periodically written into a persistent storage device.

  • Patent number: 11008900
    Abstract: A valvetrain for an internal combustion engine of the type that has a combustion chamber, a moveable valve having a seat formed in the combustion chamber, and a camshaft includes a rocker arm assembly, a pivot providing a fulcrum for a rocker arm of the rocker arm assembly, and a latch assembly. An electrical device mounted to the rocker arm assembly receives power or communicates through a circuit that includes an electrical connection formed by abutment between surfaces of two distinct parts. The rocker arm assembly is operative to move one of the two abutting surfaces relative to the other in response to actuation of the cam follower. Forming an electrical connection through abutting surfaces that are free to undergo relative motion may reduce or eliminate the need to run wires to a mobile portion of the rocker arm assembly.

  • Patent number: 10781726
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a cam-actuated rocker arm assembly with a solenoid-actuated latch that provides for cylinder deactivation or variable valve actuation. The solenoid has an inductance that varies significantly in relation to the position of a latch pin as it translates between latching and non-latching configurations. A sensor is positioned to monitor a current or a voltage in a circuit that includes the solenoid. Diagnostic information relating to the operation of the rocker arm assembly is determined by comparing data collected from the sensor over a first period to data collected from the sensor over a second period.
