Publication number: 20160136881Abstract: A fusion machine which can be top-loaded on very large polyolefin pipes and pipelines has jaws which consist of an upper half jaw and lower left and right complemental jaws which pivot on the half jaw. Left and right actuators connected between the complemental jaws and the half jaw operate in one direction to cause the complemental jaws to rotate to an opened condition in which the upper half jaw can be lowered onto and lifted from the pipes to be fused and in the other direction to cause the complemental jaws to rotate to a closed condition in which the pipes to be fused are gripped so substantially around their circumferences as to resist their deformation from round during manipulation by the machine. The top-loading machine minimizes the need for heavy equipment to load and unload pipe to and from the fusion machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2016Publication date: May 19, 2016Applicant: McElroy Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Jason A. Lawrence, James R. Perrault, David W. Porter, Timothy M. Thoman, Bobby Lee Murray

Publication number: 20140356581Abstract: A hat stiffener disclosed herein that includes a web portion having locally optimized slopes. The hat stiffener may include a web portion having a relatively small slope optimized to handle a sheer force. The hat stiffener may further include a web portion having a relatively large slope optimized to handle a pull-off or interface force. The hat stiffener may include a hat cap having variable widths along the length of the hat stiffener. The hat stiffener may further include a transitional web portion to transition from a web portion having a relatively large slope to a web portion having a relatively smaller slope. The concepts disclosed herein allow for the generation of a one-piece hat stiffener, which can be locally optimized to improve structural capability and efficiency for different loading applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2013Publication date: December 4, 2014Applicant: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Jason Lawrence Firko, Christopher Mazza

Auto-ordering of strongly ordered, device, and exclusive transactions across multiple memory regions
Patent number: 8782356Abstract: Efficient techniques are described for controlling ordered accesses in a weakly ordered storage system. A stream of memory requests is split into two or more streams of memory requests and a memory access counter is incremented for each memory request. A memory request requiring ordered memory accesses is identified in one of the two or more streams of memory requests. The memory request requiring ordered memory accesses is stalled upon determining a previous memory request from a different stream of memory requests is pending. The memory access counter is decremented for each memory request guaranteed to complete. A count value in the memory access counter that is different from an initialized state of the memory access counter indicates there are pending memory requests. The memory request requiring ordered memory accesses is processed upon determining there are no further pending memory requests.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2011Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jason Lawrence Panavich, James Norris Dieffenderfer, Thomas Andrew Sartorius, Thomas Philip Speier -

Patent number: 8732665Abstract: Environments for testing are deployed. A library of different topology groupings is provided. An interface is presented to a user for receiving environment definitions. Elements from the library of different topology groupings are automatically provided to the user for creating a test environment according to the received environment definitions. The platform delivers fully configured instantaneous topology deployments of all flavors for product development and testing efforts. The topology deployment service platform is used to create reliable topologies of varying layers of complexity, varying machine providers, different roles, different product builds, integration with partners and varying product configurations. The ability to launch and create multiple test and development environments trivially in an automated reliable fashion allows complicated customer scenarios and configurations to be deployed.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2011Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ravi S. Vedula, Michael Frank Caver, Jason Scott Cipra, Felix Antonio Deschamps, Andrew Ryan Dotson, Michael Dean McClellan, Jason Lawrence Muramoto

Publication number: 20130304501Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to methods of optimizing the collection of specimens, e.g., of blood, when multiple laboratory tests have been prescribed at one time for a patient. Laboratory tests may use specimens such as blood, drawn, e.g., through venipuncture, and patients may experience greater discomfort, inconvenience, and/or anxiety as more and more blood is collected, and at greater expense. Embodiments of the invention include computer systems configured to optimize the collection of specimens for laboratory tests to reduce the number of specimens that must be collected from a patient for any given set of laboratory tests.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2013Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: Quest Diagnostics Investments, Inc.Inventor: Jason Lawrence O'Meara

Patent number: 8499208Abstract: The content and order of a predetermined sequence of hard-coded and/or quasi-programmable test patterns may be altered during a Built-In Self-Test (BIST) routine. As such, knowledge gained post design completion may be reflected in the selection and arrangement of available tests to be executed during a BIST routine. In one embodiment, a sequence of hard-coded and/or quasi-programmable tests is executed during a BIST routine by receiving test ordering information for the sequence of tests and executing the sequence of tests in an order indicated by the test ordering information. A corresponding BIST circuit comprises a storage element and a state machine. The storage element is configured to store test ordering information for the sequence of tests. The state machine is configured to execute the sequence of tests in an order indicated by the test ordering information.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2006Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: James Norris Dieffenderfer, Anand Krishnamurthy, Clint Wayne Mumford, Jason Lawrence Panavich, Ketan Vitthal Patel, Ravi Rajagopalan, Thomas Philip Speier

Patent number: 8371036Abstract: A method and template enable the testing of fusion joints of plastic pipes to be conducted by a single operator in the field at the welding site by the efficient and precise extraction from the joints to be tested of a number of high quality tensile coupons. The coupons are tested to failure in a field-suitable, well controlled, self contained, tensile testing apparatus. A narrowing bow-tie-like pattern of the coupon ensures that the failure of the coupon in the tensile test will occur at the narrowest section of the coupon. The template can be visually aligned with the joint to ensure that it is the joint that will be tested.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2010Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Inventors: Jason A. Lawrence, James R. Perrault, Brian O'Connell
