  • Publication number: 20190211770
    Abstract: The abrupt cessation or run-away of a combustion engine may damage the combustion engine and pose a safety hazard to the surrounding environment. The combustion engine operational mode may be controlled, regulated or maintained by regulating the combustion mixture of the combustion engine. The oxidizer flow, a material or both of the combustion mixture may be regulate to create or form a combustion material that is outside a combustible range such that the combustion engine is placed or maintained in a spin-down operational mode. The material added to the combustion mixture may include a combustible, non-combustible, oxidizer, or exhaust material. A brake may also provide a secondary mechanism to maintain or place the combustion engine in a spin-down mode.

  • Publication number: 20190069852
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to an analyte monitoring device having a user interface with a display and a plurality of actuators. The display is configured to render a plurality of display screens, including a home screen and an alert screen. The home screen is divided into a plurality of simultaneously displayed panels, with a first panel displays a rate of change of continuously monitored analyte levels in interstitial fluid, a second panel simultaneously displays a current analyte level and an analyte trend indicator, and a third panel displays status information of a plurality of components of the device. When an alarm condition is detected, the display renders the alert screen in place of the home screen, the alert screen displaying information corresponding to the detected alarm condition. Furthermore, the actuators are configured to affect further output of the analyte monitoring device corresponding to the detected condition.

  • Patent number: 10139095
    Abstract: Embodiments of a lamp that utilizes a reflector and a light source with light-emitting diode (LED) devices to generate an optical intensity distribution substantially similar to that of a conventional incandescent light bulb. These embodiments utilize an operation configuration with parameters that define relationships between components of the lamp to generate the optical intensity distribution. These parameters can, in one example, set out the position of the reflector relative to the light source as well as the ratio between dimensions of the reflector and the light source. In one embodiment, the reflector is in position relative to the light source to form a blocking area proximate the light source that defines a part of the lamp that does not diffuse light.

  • Publication number: 20180299080
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally provides an LED lamp comprising a substrate, an LED light source in optical communication with the substrate, a diffusive coating applied to the substrate, and a luminescent coating disposed at least partially on the diffusive coating. The luminescent coating is between the LED light source and the diffusive coating. The luminescent coating has a composition selected to achieve a particular color temperature according to a characteristic of the LED light source. The present disclosure also generally provides a method of producing an LED lamp, comprising selecting a composition of a luminescent coating to achieve a particular color temperature according to a characteristic of an LED light source of the LED lamp, and coating a substrate in optical communication with the LED light source with a diffusive coating and the luminescent coating having the selected composition.

  • Patent number: 10081138
    Abstract: A method for producing a luminaire housing on an additive manufacturing system includes selecting a luminaire housing base shape from which a data file of a first convex polyhedral model is built, rescaling the first convex polyhedral model into a larger convex polyhedral model, filling the larger convex polyhedral model with multiple versions of the first convex polyhedral model, separating larger convex polyhedral shape model into structural unit shape, and providing the data file containing the structural unit shapes to the additive manufacturing system. In some implementations an interior volume of the larger convex polyhedral shape model can be cleared of portions of first convex polyhedral model. The method includes the additive manufacturing system producing one or more structural units based on the structural unit shapes described in the electronic data file. A non-transitory computer readable medium, and a luminaire housing including a light source are described.

  • Publication number: 20180189702
    Abstract: A job plan may be developed far in advance of actual execution of any one or more specified well servicing operations. To account for all the factors, parameters or conditions that occur at an actual well site a revised job plan may be generated that accounts for the actual site equipment available, environmental factors, one or more costs, available power source, optimal operation of equipment and any other factors. Any one or more of the factors may be weighted according to a particular physical location or other factors of the job plan. Correlating the collected, known, and actual information about equipment and a physical location allows for the generation of an optimized revised job plan that provides better utilization of equipment, including power sources, and control of costs.
