Publication number: 20240073655Abstract: A lightshow control system for generating a lightshow across a plurality of pixels or mobile devices comprises a controller configured to receive a lightshow operator's input and to generate a plurality of lightshow parameters. The system comprises a beacon transmitter in communication with the lightshow controller and configured to receive the lightshow parameters from the lightshow controller, encode the lightshow parameters on a beacon signal, and broadcast the beacon signal to the pixels, wherein each pixel is configured to receive and decode the beacon signal to perform one or more display actions. The decoded beacon signal includes reference timing information to facilitate synchronization of the pixels. The display actions may be based in part on the individual pixel location which is determined by the pixel based on TDOA multilateration and/or trilateration from distinct audio signals emitted by a plurality of speaker nodes.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Aaron James Wylie, Benjamin Joseph Wylie, Jacob Tummond, Luke Carey Bornn

Patent number: 9140167Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a lean-burn internal combustion engine, engine management means and an exhaust system for treating exhaust gas of the engine. The exhaust system comprises a first oxidation catalyst disposed on a first honeycomb monolith substrate. The first oxidation catalyst comprises platinum supported on a first metal oxide support comprising at least one reducible oxide, and is substantially free of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. The engine management means is arranged, when in use, intermittently to modulate the lambda composition of the exhaust gas entering the first oxidation catalyst to a rich lambda composition.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2011Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Johnson Matthey Public Limited CompanyInventors: David Bergeal, Andrew Francis Chiffey, Marie Feuerstein, Paul Richard Phillips, Wolfgang Strehlau, Daniel Swallow, James Wylie

Patent number: 6636752Abstract: An opto-electronic device utilizes a band of partially polarized polychromatic light for quantitative analysis of a specimen containing a target molecule. The device comprises: a polarizer for producing a segmented band of partially polarized polychromatic light from the band of partially polarized polychromatic light; a specimen cell adapted for receiving the specimen and for transporting said segmented band of partially polarized polychromatic light to the specimen; a polarizing analyzer optically coupled to said segmented band of partially polarized polychromatic light exiting the specimen; and comparison means for comparing said segmented band of partially polarized polychromatic light before entering the specimen with said segmented band of partially polarized polychromatic light after exiting the specimen. The target molecule changes ellipticity of said segmented band of partially polarized polychromatic light and said polarizer is synchronized with said polarizing analyzer.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2000Date of Patent: October 21, 2003Assignee: Xoetronics LLCInventors: Frank Madarasz, Darell Engelhaupt, James Wyly, Joseph Milelli, Ramarao Inguva

Patent number: 6594510Abstract: An opto-electronic device utilizes a band of polychromatic light for quantitative analysis of a target molecule within a mixed specimen. A movable polarizer produces a segmented band of partially polarized polychromatic light from the band of partially polarized polychromatic light. A specimen cell adapted for receiving the mixed specimen transports the segmented band of partially polarized polychromatic light to the mixed specimen. A movable polarizing analyzer is optically coupled to the segmented band of partially polarized polychromatic light exiting the mixed specimen. The segmented band of partially polarized polychromatic light before entering the mixed specimen is compared with the segmented band of partially polarized polychromatic light after exiting the mixed specimen. The movable polarizer is synchronized with the movable polarizing analyzer.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2001Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Xoetronics LLCInventors: Frank Madarasz, Darell Engelhaupt, James Wyly, Joseph Milelli
