Publication number: 20240142547Abstract: A method for calibrating a magnetometer of a device is provided. The method includes collecting, with a portable calibration device having a magnetometer, magnetic field measurements in a spatial region about a mounting location where the device is to be installed for operation, estimating magnetometer compensation parameters to correct for magnetic field distortion at the mounting location based on the magnetic field measurements collected by the portable calibration device, and configuring the device installed at the mounting location based on the magnetometer compensation parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Fred Jay Anderson, John Matthew Swartz, Jerome Henry, Robert Edgar Barton, Matthew Silverman, Michael F. Marlborough

Publication number: 20230067012Abstract: A roll assembly temperature sensing system for a pellet mill includes: a thermal sensor (160); and a pellet mill roll assembly rotatably disposed in a rotor assembly. The pellet mill roll (140) assembly includes: a roll shaft; a bearing disposed circumferentially around the roll shaft; and a seal (150) disposed between an end of the bearing and the rotor assembly. The rotor assembly includes an area defining a die cavity adjacent to the seal (150). The thermal sensor (160) is disposed within the die cavity, and is configured to detect a temperature of the seal resulting from heat conducted from the bearing.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2021Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventors: Timothy Edward Duncan, Benjamin Michael Schappell, Fred Matthew Delany

Patent number: 11365730Abstract: A reciprocating gas compressor valve having a plurality of clusters of kidney shaped holes positioned along a common circular or annular locus in the main body and a sealing element with a top portion, a bottom portion and a tubular section. The tubular section is integrally connected to the top portion and bottom portion. In an open position, a flow pathway is provided through the clusters of kidney shaped holes and the tubular section and the bottom profile abuts a stop surface of the valve. In a closed position, the top profile abuts the seat for sealing gas flow within the valve.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2021Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Delaware Capital Formation, Inc.Inventors: Swapnil S. Khaire, Stephen A. Mish, Fred Matthew Schweinberg, Vasudev M. Balamohan, Sujith N. Rasquinha

Publication number: 20120294124Abstract: A piezoelectric sensing device is described for measuring material thickness of target such as pipes, tubes, and other conduits that carry fluids. The piezoelectric sensing device comprises a substrate such as a flexible circuit material, a piezoceramic element, and a solder layer disposed therebetween. These features are arranged in manner that provides a low-profile measurement device suitable for high-temperature applications such as those applications in which the temperature exceeds 120° C. Embodiments of the piezoelectric sensing device can be configured for use as stand-alone units separately located on the target or for use as a string of sensing elements coupled together by way of the flexible circuit material.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2012Publication date: November 22, 2012Inventors: Matthew Krohn, Paul Aloysius Meyer, James Norman Barshinger, Ying Fan, Fred Matthews, Nathan Smith
