Patent number: 11525594Abstract: An electricity automation application may automate control over an HVAC system in a consumer's home or other building to reduce or eliminate electricity consumption during a high-price or high-demand time interval. The consumer may grant authorization for the application to control the HVAC system at appropriate timepoints while maintaining an inside air temperature that is between minimum and maximum temperature setpoints set by the consumer. The application models temperature gains and losses for the home or building as a function of inside and outside temperatures and HVAC operating status. If a high-price or high-demand time interval is predicted, the application may determine a timepoint to precool or preheat the home or building to reduce or eliminate electricity use during the duration of the high-price or high-demand time interval.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2021Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: NRG ENERGY, INC.Inventors: Matthew C. Hinson, Mark D. Parsons, John Goodman, Gary Norris, Luke Martin, David Clausen, Adrian Samaniego

Patent number: 11471159Abstract: A dispensing device configured to operate with an adhesive backed mesh and backing film for tissue bonding is disclosed. The dispensing device provides for low-friction, low force pay-out of a desired length of an adhesive backed mesh to a wound site. The device prevents or eliminates distortion of the mesh prior to application to the wound site, and includes means for reducing or eliminating binding during use. The dispensing device is configured to operate in a “forward” mode (substrate to which mesh is applied passes beneath applicator after mesh is applied) to provide essentially an unobstructed view of the wound site during use.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Ethicon, Inc.Inventors: John Goodman, Gregory Hake, Thomas Schoon

Publication number: 20220064083Abstract: An integrated process for producing acetylene is provided. The process comprises separating a gas stream comprising methane from a fuel gas stream in a fuel gas recovery unit of a process. A fuel and an oxidizer are combusted in a combustion zone of a pyrolytic reactor to create a combustion gas stream, wherein the pyrolytic reactor is integrated with the fuel gas recovery unit via the gas stream comprising methane. A light hydrocarbon stream comprising all or a first portion of the gas stream comprising methane is injected into a supersonic combustion gas stream to create a mixed stream. The velocity of the mixed stream is transitioned from supersonic to subsonic in a reaction zone of the pyrolytic reactor to produce a reaction mixture comprising acetylene, methane, carbon oxides, and hydrogen. The reaction mixture is separated to provide an acetylene stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2021Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Gregory Funk, John Goodman, Parag Jain

Patent number: 11221796Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for redirecting input/output (“I/O”) requests to virtual hard disks (“VHDs”) to improve network performance and data redundancy. More particularly, files can be encapsulated in remote VHDs and accessed in such a way that the files appear to a local operating system and any local applications to be residing locally. Furthermore, I/O requests redirected to files encapsulated in VHDs may also be redirected to one or more additional VHDs for data redundancy. The redirected I/O requests may be transmitted simultaneously but separately to the additional VHDs in a split stream.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Randall Richards Cook, Kevin John Goodman
