  • Patent number: 11473215
    Abstract: A system and method includes a seed roll of a saw type gin stand which can easily be inspected in an efficient and safe manner within the normal course of operation. The monitoring of the seed roll is desirable for prediction of irregularities that could significantly hamper the production of a ginning facility. This monitoring can take place by manual inspection with the eye or touch of the operator. In addition, this feature will facilitate the opportunity to introduce a new automatic process by which the control system can monitor the seed roll in order to improve overall productivity of the gin stand.

  • Publication number: 20180334697
    Abstract: A method of reducing the limit of detection in a surface acoustic wave sensor (SAW) includes the steps of: attaching a plurality of DNA segments to a detection surface of a SAW; performing a CRISPR/Cas9 preparation of the DNA segments to cut and splice a selected protein into at least one of a plurality of the DNA segments; conjugating a nanoparticle to the selected protein; and measuring the number of DNA segments with conjugated nanoparticles using a surface acoustic wave sensor (SAW). The nanoparticle may be modified to form a single electron transistor (SET) which generates a detectable signal in response to RF or ultrasonic excitation which is indicative of binding of the corresponding nanoparticle to a selected target analyte.

  • Patent number: 10067812
    Abstract: A method for a diagnostic headline system using simple linguistic terms is described. The method comprises receiving historical and current performance data for a component of a system. An anomaly is determined in the current performance data by comparing the current performance data and the historical performance data for the component. The anomaly is determined whether or not it indicates an error in the system. The cause of the anomaly is determined. Steps for addressing the cause of the anomaly are recommended. A display is formatted of the current performance data, the error, and the recommended steps for addressing the cause of the anomaly.

  • Patent number: 9979607
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing system anomalies and presenting recommended solutions is described. The method comprises receiving current component performance data and historical component performance data regarding performance of a component of a multi-tier system. A baseline tier performance for each tier and a baseline component performance is determined. A cause of an anomaly in the performance of the component is determined by discovering deviations in current component performance data and current tier performance in compared to their baseline values. Based on these deviations, a recommended procedure for addressing the cause of the anomaly is determined. A display is formatted within a user interface of the recommended procedure for addressing the cause of the anomaly in the performance of the component.

  • Patent number: 9559908
    Abstract: A lockout prevention system includes a management Information Handling System (IHS) that is coupled through a network to network interface on a networking device. The networking device receives a configuration instruction through the network interface from the management IHS. The networking device then determines that the application of the configuration instruction will inhibit the communication between the management IHS and the networking device through the network interface. The networking device then provide a warning message for display on the management IHS in response to determining that the application of the configuration instruction will inhibit the communication between the management IHS and the networking device through the network interface.

  • Patent number: 9509700
    Abstract: An access control list lockout prevention system includes a network. A first administrator Information Handling System (IHS) is coupled to the network. A networking device is communicatively connected to the first administrator IHS through the network. The networking device is configured to receive an access control list instruction from the first administrator IHS. The networking device then determines that at least one administrator IHS that is communicatively connected to the networking device will lose access to the networking device in response to execution of the access control list instruction. In response to determining that the at least one administrator IHS will lose access to the networking device in response to execution of the access control list instruction, the networking device provides a warning message for display on the first administrator IHS.

  • Patent number: 9503343
    Abstract: A method for detecting a topology change in a communication network. The method includes measuring a minimum latency value of a communication between two devices in the communication network for each of a plurality of time cycles, identifying an increase in the minimum latency values among the plurality of time cycles, and detecting a topology change in response to a determination that the increase in minimum latency values is maintained for more than a predetermined number of time cycles.

  • Patent number: 8953479
    Abstract: Methods include receiving a threshold time to live (“TTL”) value associated with a license. The methods include determining a first TTL value based on the threshold TTL value. The methods include transmitting a polling request including the first TTL value from a polling device disposed at the network location to a network device. The first TTL value decreases each time the polling request transits through a node device. The methods include receiving a polling response from the network device if the first TTL value has not decreased to a predetermined value before the polling request is received by the network device. The methods include determining that the license permits communication between a monitoring device disposed at the network location and the network device in response to receiving the polling response.
