Publication number: 20230086613Abstract: An offender management system (OMS) is a system designed to help process information related to inmates of a correctional facility. Information about an inmate's behavioral history, history in the legal system, and the inmate's financial account are all tracked in an OMS. OMS have been housed on the correctional facility premises, and are proprietary based on the needs of the correctional facility. The current disclosure is directed to an OMS that is housed remotely in data centers and has comprehensive functionality and customizability based on simple guided user interfaces (GUIs). This allows correctional facility administrators to easily customize the OMS to suit the needs of their facilities while removing the overhead required to maintain such systems. The customizability also allows the OMS to serve multiple jurisdictions at once. The centralized OMS contains many novel abilities such as workflow creation, real-time status monitoring of prison processes and accounting processing functions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicant: Global Tel*Link CorporationInventors: Anthony BAMBOCCI, John LOWRY

Publication number: 20180293533Abstract: Managed Inter Application Communications and Relationships (MIAC) is a system for business process automation that uses recognised standard application programming interfaces (API), data base schema mapping and raw data to collect, translate and transfer data to facilitate processes that incorporate data transfers, communications, event creations, alerts and physical inputs to build an end-to-end work flow where all actions and communications are recorded for audit and automated feedback response cycles. The system allows for an incremental build of a matrix computer network where all connected systems are separated but communicate in an intelligent rule and workflow driven process, controlled and influenced by the human workforce.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2016Publication date: October 11, 2018Inventors: Peter LOWRY, Jeff BUTTERWORTH, John LOWRY, Julian SMITH

Patent number: 9759113Abstract: An injector for injecting a reagent includes an axially translatable valve member positioned within a housing. An electromagnet is positioned within the housing and includes a coil of wire positioned proximate the valve member such that the valve member moves between a seated position and an unseated position relative to an orifice in response to energizing the electromagnet. A connector coupled to the housing includes an inlet tube concentrically aligned with and surrounding a return tube. The inlet tube is adapted to receive pressurized reagent from a source of reagent. The return tube is adapted to return reagent to the source.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2014Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Tenneco Automotive Operating Company Inc.Inventors: Stephen M.

Publication number: 20170001695Abstract: A fin or finlike structure attached at its base to a hydrofoil or watercraft having one or more channels running along its side surfaces at either a horizontal angle or an acute angle as measured from the intersection of the fin's leading edge and its base. These channels may be arranged side-by-side, separated by the side surfaces of the fin or finlike structure, or separated by flanges or convex shapes in a fashion similar to a true ‘spoiler’ in automobiles. As water moves through these channels it is compressed which consequently creates a drop in pressure and generates a significant increase in speed when compared with a fin or finlike structure having traditionally foiled or flat surface or surfaces. The channels and, when applicable, flanges or convex shapes generate speed, reduce drag, provide additional stability, drive through turns, maneuverability, responsiveness, and, when extending at an acute angle away from the intersection of the leading and base edges, lift.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2016Publication date: January 5, 2017Inventor: Martin John Lowry

Publication number: 20150176463Abstract: A reagent injector with a cartridge design has a body with a reagent inlet, outlet, and a swirl chamber, which has an exit orifice that may be covered and uncovered by a solid, movable pintle. Reagent flows through the injector when the exit orifice is covered and uncovered to cool the injector. An insulator may be disposed between the injector body and a mounting flange connectable to an exhaust system. A flow path ensures cooling of an electromagnetic actuator. Reagent may bypass an orifice swirl chamber when the pintle blocks the exit orifice. Fluid may flow between an outside diameter of a pole piece and an inside diameter of an electromagnetic actuator, through an orifice chamber and return through a central bore housing a solid pintle, around which fluid may flow. Different inner injector body passages may direct fluid into an orifice distribution chamber and out to the solid pintle.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2015Publication date: June 25, 2015Inventors: Keith Olivier, Stephen Thomas, John Lowry

Publication number: 20110274590Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment system for reducing emissions from an engine includes an exhaust conduit adapted to supply an exhaust stream from the engine to an exhaust treatment device. The conduit includes an upstream zone, a reduced cross-sectional area zone, and a downstream zone. The upstream and downstream zones are positioned adjacent to and on either side of the reduced cross-sectional area zone. An injector is fixed to the exhaust conduit for injecting a reagent into the exhaust stream at the downstream zone, such that the reagent is injected into the exhaust stream at a venturi effect location of reduced exhaust pressure. The injector is mounted to spray reagent along an injection axis that extends at an angle ranging from 40 to 65 degrees from a longitudinal axis of the conduit.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2010Publication date: November 10, 2011Inventors: Ryan A.

Publication number: 20090250342Abstract: An electrode comprising a conducting substrate for detecting species such as nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) and a polymer matrix formed from a first layer only or first and second layers with the second layer applied to the first. The matrix forms a permselective barrier. Each layer has a first pre-coat or first and second pre-coats. Each pre-coat may be formed by: depositing a liquid form of at least one halogenated polymer such as fluorinated or chlorinated polymers onto a substrate and allowing the material to dry. A liquid form of at least one halogenated polymer adheres the first and second layers to the substrate. The electrode allows for detection of the target species and allows real time in vivo measurements to be taken. Blood flow can also be monitored. An electrode bundle with electrodes for different target species is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2009Publication date: October 8, 2009Applicant: National University of Ireland MaynoothInventors: John Lowry, Niall Finnerty, Finbar Brown

Patent number: 6171019Abstract: An apparatus, and related method, for laying sand and/or a sand reinforcement matrix onto a pre-prepared surface, includes an apparatus having a hopper for providing a matrix to be laid, a plunger at the forward end, in the sense of direction of movement of the apparatus, of the hopper and an element for reciprocating the plunger for taking material from the hopper and delivering it through an extrusion aperture in the rear thereof to an extrusion mold. The extrusion is effected by moving forwardly as pressure is applied to the matrix to be extruded and as the mold passes over the matrix. The extrusion of a sand, or a sand reinforcement, is compacted in the extrusion by using the weight of the apparatus against which the extrusion plunger acts together with the impaction of previously extruded material.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 1997Date of Patent: January 9, 2001Assignee: StrathAyr Pty.
