Patent number: 11965859Abstract: System and methods are provided for empirical analysis of remaining life in electromechanical devices. Sensors are positioned to generate signals representing sound energy emitted by devices, and digital sound data are stored corresponding thereto. The system classifies sound characteristics and their corresponding impact on wear rate over time via recurring analysis of the stored sound data. For a selected device, a wear state is estimated based on a comparison of current sound energy emitted therefrom with respect to sound data for a comparable group of electromechanical devices, and it may be ascertained whether certain classified sound characteristics are present in digital sound data corresponding to the selected electromechanical device. Output signals are selectively generated based on the estimated wear state and/or classified sound characteristics ascertained to be present, e.g.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Discovery Sound Technology, LLCInventors: John Jenkins, Michael Pedersen, Jon Harper

Publication number: 20240091708Abstract: Wastewater is treated though primary treatment of the water by way of a micro-sieve to produce a primary effluent and primary sludge. There is secondary treatment of the primary effluent by way of a membrane bioreactor (MBR) or an integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) reactor to produce a secondary effluent and a waste activated sludge. The micro-sieve may have openings of 250 microns or less, for example about 150 microns. In a process, a gas transfer membrane is immersed in water. Pressurized air flows into the gas transfer membrane. An exhaust gas is withdrawn from the gas transfer membrane and used to produce bubbles from an aerator immersed in the water.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Pierre Lucien COTE, Steven Kristian PEDERSEN, Wajahat Hussain SYED, Jeffrey Gerard PEETERS, Nicholas William H.

Patent number: 11933075Abstract: An electronic key may include a partial capacitor comprising a capacitive metal plate in communication with a processor. The capacitive metal plate of the partial capacitor is configured to form a capacitor with a corresponding capacitive metal plate of a lock when brought into proximity with the metal plate of the lock. Data may be transferred from the key to the lock using a capacitor formed by combining the two metal plates, wherein a common ground is established between the metal plate of the key and the metal plate of the lock through a parasitic capacitance present between the key and lock circuitry. Audit trail data may be recorded based on usage of the key.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: KNOX Associates, Inc.Inventors: Bryan E.

Patent number: 10841822Abstract: A communication method and device are described. In the communication method, a quality indicator value associated with the first communication protocol is calculated based on a signal characteristic of first communication protocol. A quality indicator value associated with the first communication protocol is determined based on a signal characteristic of the first communication protocol. Further, a gap time is calculated which represents the time until a next communication gap resulting from a first communication via the first communication protocol and second communication via a second communication protocol. A quality report value can be calculated based on the quality indicator value and a comparison of the gap time and a reporting time threshold value. Further, a quality report can be generated based on the quality report value.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Intel IP CorporationInventors: Jakob Buthler, John Pedersen

Patent number: 10733267Abstract: One example a surgical data control system. A wireless data receiver receives surgical device data that is wirelessly transmitted from surgical instruments, medicine administering equipment, and energy delivery equipment during a surgical procedure. The surgical device data is stored in a memory system along with surgeon data, patient data, and environment data associated with the surgical environment in which the surgical procedure is performed. A report generator generates an aggregated surgical data set characterizing a relationship between the surgical device data, the surgeon data, the patient data, and the environment data. The report generator thus generates a surgical dashboard report comprising the aggregated surgical data set in a predetermined data format. The surgical data control system can transmit the surgical dashboard report to at least one remote device via a network upon conclusion of the surgical procedure.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2016Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: SURGICAL BLACK BOX LLCInventor: John Pedersen
