Patents by Inventor Gilmar M. Caldeira

Gilmar M. Caldeira 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: 6433791
    Abstract: A displaceable display and a method for controlling an output of a display unit are disclosed. The display arrangement includes a circuit board, a display unit, a detector and a controller. The display unit communicates with the circuit board. The display unit is capable of rotating with respect to the circuit board and being placed in at least one particular orientation with respect to the circuit board. The detector automatically detects the particular orientation of the display unit with respect to the circuit board. The circuit board transmits signals to the controller and the controller routes the signals to output of the display unit as a function of the particular orientation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6234019
    Abstract: A system and method for obtaining a fluid density of a fluid in a tank includes, for example, a first sensor coupled to a second sensor through an extension. The two sensors are coupled to a transmitter. The sensors are lowered into the fluid of the tank such that the first sensor is positioned at a first fluid level and the second sensor is positioned at a second fluid level. Fluid pressure at the two levels is sensed by the two sensors which affects the fluid pressure of a fill fluid inside the housing of the system. The effect on the fluid pressure of the fill fluid is sensed by the transmitter which creates an electrical signal relating to the fluid pressures sensed by the two sensors. A calculating device may determine the fluid density of the fluid in the tank from the signal received from the transmitter.
