Patents by Inventor Jeffery A. Barnes

Jeffery A. Barnes has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11814188
    Abstract: A fuel drain engagement tool and a method for draining fuel from a fuel tank are provided. In one example, a fuel drain engagement tool includes a housing. An engagement mechanism is coupled with the housing and extending upward therefrom. The engagement mechanism is configured to engage a fuel drain valve and to move between a contracted state and an expanded state. A compression applicator is coupled with the housing and is positioned to engage the engagement mechanism when the compression applicator is compressed to apply a force to the engagement mechanism that causes the engagement mechanism to move from the expanded state to the contracted state.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10446389
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for removing lanthanoid-containing solids and/or species from the surface of a microelectronic device or microelectronic device fabrication hardware. Preferably, the lanthanoid-containing solids and/or species comprise cerium. The composition is preferably substantially devoid of fluoride ions.

  • Publication number: 20060174073
    Abstract: A computer storage system includes a supervisor algorithm to detect a host computer's initiator logging in. The supervisor algorithm identifies data storage devices associated with the newly logged-on initiator and tags logical unit number control blocks (“LUNCBs”) as having priority in an initiation process. The supervisor algorithm assigns a task control block to each of the identified data storage devices and invokes a logical unit number (“LUN”) initialization algorithm. If the supervisor algorithm was invoked during an initial microcode load (“IML”) event, the LUN initialization algorithm initializes each of the identified data storage devices. However, if the supervisor algorithm was invoked during a warmstart procedure, the LUN initialization algorithm first checks to make sure the LUNCB was not mistakenly written too. If not, the LUN initialization algorithm terminates without initializing the associated data storage device.

  • Publication number: 20050114562
    Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for throttling data transfer. An amount of resources that are in use is determined. When the amount of resources reaches a high threshold, one or more primary control units are notified to temporarily stop sending data. When the amount of resources reaches a low threshold, each previously notified primary control unit is notified to resume sending data.
