Publication number: 20240409441Abstract: A multi-functional slurry processing system (“VARCOR”) and associated methods is disclosed. The present examples provide a multi-functional slurry processing system incorporating systems and methods for separating liquid and solid components in slurries. In particular the systems and methods described herein produce clean water, dried solids, and potential concentration of desirable constituents with a boiling point lower than water. At least one example of the multi-functional slurry processing system provides a self-contained processing facility configured to efficiently convert high water-content slurries into its constituent solid and liquid fractions and subsequently generating and collecting clean water and concentrating desirable constituents with a boiling point lower than water.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: December 12, 2024Applicant: Sedron Technologies, LLCInventors: Peter William Janicki, Sara Amber Van Tassel, John Edward Weller, Stanley James Janicki, Warren Lewis Heartwood, Keith Boyd Fackler, II, Alex James Gross, Tyler Everett Hamke, Austin George Law, Eric Christopher McBride, Ann Kate Nowinski, Liam Joseph Potocsnak, James O'Keefe Armstrong

Patent number: 12120663Abstract: An embodiment of the invention relates to a method of operating a communication system that comprises a master node (MN) and at least two slave nodes (SN1-SN4) and is operated in a time-division multiplexing technique. A transmission subframe (TSF) comprises at least one downlink slot (DS) for transmission of downlink data packets (DDP) from the master node (MN) to the slave nodes (SN1-SN4), and at least one uplink slot (US1-US4) for transmission of uplink data packets (UDP) from each of the slave nodes (SN1-SN4) to the master node (MN). The master node (MN) evaluates the uplink data packets (UDP) and generates a re-transmission schedule (RTS) that defines a re-transmission of uplink and/or downlink data packets (UDP, DDP) in the auxiliary subframe (ASF). Prior to the re-transmission of uplink and/or downlink data packets (UDP, DDP) in the auxiliary subframe (ASF), the master node (MN) broadcasts the re-transmission schedule (RTS) to the slave nodes (SN1-SN4).Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2020Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: R3—RELIABLE REALTIME RADIO COMMUNICATIONS GMBHInventors: James Gross, Christian Dombrowski, Dominik Chmiel

Patent number: 11642547Abstract: A phototherapy or BRT process and apparatus is provided, which, using a pre-recorded bioresonance frequency or compilation of frequencies, causes an EMR emitter to emit within a biological window of a target organism to positively or negatively affect the organism. The EMR may be generated in one or more LEDs by a device connected to a controller of the EMR emitter which device provides the pre-recorded bioresonance frequency or compilation of frequencies to control the LEDs' emitted light in terms of its intensity and/or a frequency or flicker-rate.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2016Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Inventors: Stuart Gross, James Gross, Stephen Davis, Henri Corniere

Patent number: 11418983Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a coordinator network node and one or more network access nodes interworking in a wireless communication system. The coordinator network node determines a joint resource allocation area (?UE) based on measurement messages from network access nodes. The determined joint resource allocation area (?UE) is thereafter transmitted to the network access nodes. Thereby, the coordinator network node enables to determine the portion of the first or the second service areas that are free from interference from neighbouring network access nodes where each network access node can perform resource allocations independently. It further enables to determine/identify the joint resource allocation area where neighbouring network access nodes significantly interfere each other. Therefore, e.g. resource allocation in the system can be improved. Furthermore, the disclosure also relates to corresponding methods and a computer program.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: George Koudouridis, James Gross, Johan Christer Qvarfordt, Kari Juhani Leppanen

Patent number: 11026150Abstract: An embodiment of the invention relates to a method of carrying out a handover process. After receiving a handover message (HOM(13)) that indicates the initiation of the handover process with respect to a moving node (13), a handover control node (20) addresses its next token (T(21)) to the moving node (13) and not to its formerly allocated downstream node (21) in its original wireless token ring system (2). In case that the moving node (13) receives said token (T(21)) and sends thereafter an acknowledgement to the handover control node (20) and an own token (T) to its allocated downstream node (21) in the enlarged wireless token ring system (2), the handover process is deemed to be completed and the moving node (13) forms the newly allocated downstream node to the handover control node (20) in the enlarged wireless token ring system (2).Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: R3—RELIABLE REALTIME RADIO COMMUNICATIONS GMBHInventors: Mathias Bohge, Florian Bonanati, James Gross

Patent number: 10893777Abstract: An Electro-Mechanical Pulse Generator (“EMPG”) may be used to ignite an ignition pad comprising of fine carbon steel fibers. When electrical energy is applied to the carbon steel fibers, the carbon steel ignites thus starting the combustion of the fuel in a fuel basket located within the grill's combustion chamber. An electrical control panel connects an energy source such as a battery with an ignition wire positioned within the combustion chamber of the grill. A fan positioned below or near the fuel basket controls the amount of air flow into the combustion chamber to aid in initially lighting the fuel as well as controlling the temperature of the grill and the amount of combustion used to heat the food that is cooking.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2015Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Inventor: James Gross
