Patent number: 11946330Abstract: A downhole actuator (16) includes a piston (15) within a chamber (17) on which fluid can act on either side to hydraulically activate the actuator. A hydrostatic equilibrium device (18) and a valve (14) are mounted around the hydraulic actuator. With a radial port (28) of the hydrostatic equilibrium device closed and the valve closed to seal the string, pumping fluid through the string operates the actuator. Pressure overbalance prevents movement of the piston (15). The radial port (28) is opened to drain fluid from the string until equilibrium is reached with the annular volume and the piston (15) can be moved.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: ARDYNE HOLDINGS LIMITEDInventors: David Stewart, James Linklater, George Telfer

Patent number: 11935656Abstract: Presented are systems and methods for the accurate acquisition of medical measurement data of a body part of patient. To assist in acquiring accurate medical measurement data, an automated diagnostic and treatment system provides instructions to the patient to allow the patient to precisely position a medical instrument in proximity to a target spot of a body part of patient. For a stethoscope examination, the steps may include utilizing object tracking to determine if the patient has moved the stethoscope to a recording site; utilizing DSP processing to confirm that the stethoscope is in operation, utilizing DSP processing to generate a pre-processed audio sample from a recorded audio signal; using machine learning (ML) to determine if a signal of interest (SOI) is present in the pre-processed sample. If SoI is present, using ML to evaluate characteristics in the signal which indicate the presence of abnormalities in the organ being measured.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Inventors: James Stewart Bates, Kristopher Perry, Chaitanya Prakash Potaraju, Pranav Bhatkal, Aditya Shirvalkar, Tristan Royal

Patent number: 11794284Abstract: Disclosed are methods of manufacturing a workpiece fixture (10) and also a target material fixture (10), for use in precision manufacturing processes. A sheet material is supported on a generic material fixture (10) and the sheet material precision processed to form support blades (16, 18) for a target workpiece fixture (10). Each support blade (16, 18) has a support locus and interstices are positioned in the support loci where a target pattern and the support loci coincide. Thus, there are no unnecessary clearances between the workpiece support (10) and the workpiece. The interstices that are present are located only where necessary to reduce or eliminate any interference between the precision manufacturing process and the fixture (10), when it is used in a precision process involving the target pattern.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2019Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: TANNLIN TECHNOLOGY LIMITEDInventors: James Stewart Hall, James Graham Hall, Jake Gillespie, Scott McVey, Michael Gallagher

Publication number: 20230274290Abstract: A system and associated methods are provided that are intended to be used by citizens to record their stances on relevant issues in a permanent distributed ledger, to organize these stances into non-personally identifiable aggregations to demonstrate the collective stance of a group of citizens and their prioritization of several issues, and use this information regarding stances to identify alignment or misalignment between a candidate and a citizen or a group of citizens eligible to vote for that candidate. The system can therefore provide aggregated issue stance and issue prioritization information for a jurisdiction. Alternatively, the system can help a user who is verified as an eligible citizen to determine which candidate is most closely aligned with the user's stances on issues and prioritization of issues.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2022Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventor: David James Stewart

Patent number: 11731757Abstract: An aircraft uses trajectory-based control algorithms for blade pitch (or twist). This approach greatly enhances the ability of the actuator to accurately achieve the desired blade pitch and to track the commanded pitch position. An actuator includes an electronic rotor blade controller that converts communicated or desired changes in pitch (or similar parameter) to actual physical effects that match the desired changes as closely as possible. The controller preferably includes a motor drive circuit, such as an h-bridge, a communication circuit for connection to external commands, and a processor with associated enabling circuitry (e.g. memory, I/O) to coordinate and implement the control.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Inventors: Thomas Karl Berger, David Wade Milanes, James Stewart Robertson
