Patents by Inventor Hans Van Leeuwen

Hans Van Leeuwen 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: 11281873
    Abstract: A system for location of assets on a premises is described. The system uses identifiers attached to a group of one or more assets along with mobile sensor packages. Each mobile sensor package contains components for data processing, data exchange, and storage. The sensor package also contains a sensor for reading identifiers and a location tool. The mobile sensor packages are attached to each mover of assets on the premises.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 19, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 22, 2022
    Assignee: HDS Mercury, Inc.

  • Patent number: 6883372
    Abstract: This invention concerns gravity gradiometers for airborne surveys for minerals. The gravity gradiometer comprises an inertially stabilized platform, a rotor that is between 0.4 and 1.5 m in diameter mounted in the stabilized platform, and between twelve and seventy two accelerometers arranged in complements of four each on the rotor; and a signal processor operative to: (i) subtract noise calculated from the mass distribution of the aircraft and the inertially stabilised platform, and by the angles of the gimbals of the stabilised platform; (ii) use measures of the accelerations experienced by the gravity gradiometer to estimate the sensitivities of the gravity gradiometer to the acceleration, and use this estimate to correct the gravity gradiometer output; and (iii), use measures of the rotations to which the gravity gradiometer is subjected to calculate the contribution of rotation to the gravity gradiometer noise, and to remove the contribution of rotation to said gravity gradiometer noise.
