Publication number: 20230191855Abstract: A tire monitor includes a sensor generating tire data. The tire monitor is configured to wake in response to a low frequency interrupt signal received from a remote source. Upon waking, the tire monitor scans Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) channels to establish a BLE connection with the remote source. The tire monitor communicates with the remote source over the BLE connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: William D. Stewart, Ian Elliott

Patent number: 11099091Abstract: A tire pressure monitoring system comprising a tire pressure monitoring device for mounting on an internal surface of a tire and including a pressure sensor for monitoring the fluid pressure in the tire. The system has an RFID tag located on the tire separately from the tire pressure monitoring device. In response to detecting a tire pressure event from monitoring the fluid pressure of said fluid, the tire pressure monitoring device causes the RFID to transmit data, which is received by the tire pressure monitoring device.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2016Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Schrader Electronics LimitedInventors: William David Stewart, Christopher Arnold, Stephen Robb, Ian Elliott

Patent number: 8154284Abstract: An NMR method is presented having enhanced sensitivity on a compound comprising hyperpolarizable nuclei, in particular applying enhanced PHIP. Polarization is thereby transferred from a prepared fluid, which is enriched with symmetric molecules of a particular spin state (e.g. para-hydrogen enriched), directly to the hyperpolarizable nuclei of a compound, without altering the chemical identity of the compound in this process. Spin transfer is achieved using a template having sites of ordered environment, and the fluid and the compound are brought together in the presence of the template. Polarization transfer to the hyperpolarizable nuclei of the compound is thereby easier to perform and can be applied to a broader scope of compounds.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2008Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: University of YorkInventors: Simon Benedict Duckett, Gary George Green, Paul Ian Elliott, Joaquin Lopez-Serrano

Publication number: 20110132538Abstract: A method of producing a heat sealable label comprises the steps of: (i) providing a textile substrate which is of synthetic polymeric fibres and which is provided on one of its faces with a heat sealable adhesive, (ii) applying to the other face of the substrate a curable resin system, (iii) effecting cross-linking of said curable resin system, (iv) printing on to said cross-linked resin system a uv curable ink in the form of the desired marking, and (v) effecting uv curing of said ink. The ink incorporates monomer components which during the uv curing of step (iv) covalently bond to the cross-linked resin system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2010Publication date: June 9, 2011Inventors: Robert Graham Bonney, James Alan Clementson, Ian Elliott

Patent number: 6088005Abstract: A system and method for a computer system to recognize and initialize an arrangement of a plurality of physical monitors as a single logical screen (SLS). The invention translates a user's window operation request directed to the SLS into an SLS function. The SLS function is then translated into a plurality of device dependent functions, each of which performs the user's requested window operation on one physical monitor. The translation of the SLS function comprises an unwrapping of the SLS function by removing the SLS function and installing the plurality of device dependent functions, and the wrapping of the plurality of device dependent functions by removing the plurality of device dependent functions and installing the SLS function. The invention implements each of the unwrapping and wrapping operations in two assignment instructions.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 1996Date of Patent: July 11, 2000Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Jeffrey J. Walls, Ian A. Elliott, John Marks

Patent number: 5721917Abstract: An interactive, information logging and processing tool that provides information regarding a process's data structure utilization to reduce the working set of a process's dynamically allocated memory. The actual working set (AWS) determinant determines which portions of the dynamically-allocated pages, referred to as the process's virtual memory (VM) working set (VWS) are actually used. It then determines the actual working set of a dynamically allocated memory for a given benchmark. The basic approach of the AWS determinator is to observe which data structures cause page faults when the targeted process is severely thrashing. AWS determinator includes a data logger and a data analyzer.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1995Date of Patent: February 24, 1998Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Ian A. Elliott, David R. Lechtenberg, James M. Stearns, Alan D. Ward

Patent number: 5519822Abstract: First next and second next pixel locations are selected simultaneously from among adjacent pixel locations and represent a straight line segment defined by two end locations and having a slope of one or less. An initialization process uses the .DELTA.X and .DELTA.Y of the desired line segment to find various constants, including an initial error term, an error term increment, an error term decrement, an error term double increment, an error term double decrement, and an error term increment-then-decrement. These represent, respectively, an increment in the X location without an increment to the Y location (a step S), an increment in the X location and an increment in the Y location (a jump J), a step followed by a step (two steps SS), two jumps (JJ), and either of a step-then-jump or a jump-then-step (SJ/JS). These five operations correspond to the only possible locations that might be selected, given any starting location.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1994Date of Patent: May 21, 1996Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Anthony C. Barkans, Bryan G. Prouty, Lawrence G. Mahoney, Ian A. Elliott
