Patent number: 11229875Abstract: A scrubbing solution for removing contaminants, including particularly hydrogen sulfide, from a fluid. The scrubbing solution includes at least one scrubbing reagent which has a primary or secondary amine and an acid, which may be phosphoric acid. The fluid being scrubbed is passed through the scrubbing solution. The contaminants react with the scrubbing reagent securing them in the scrubbing solution. The fluid being scrubbed and the scrubbing solution are then separated. The scrubbing solution is heated and, if the scrubbing solution is under pressure, the pressure is reduced. The acid facilitates thorough removal of the contaminants, and especially the hydrogen sulfide, from the scrubbing solution. The scrubbing solution is then ready for reuse. Because the scrubbing solution is rendered substantially free of hydrogen sulfides, it can absorb other sulfide contaminants that might not otherwise be absorbed.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2020Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: INEOS AMERICAS, LLCInventors: Eric Matthew Teletzke, Flavia Mariana Dos Santos Bates, Brett Christopher Roberts, Erik John Stewart, Kathleen Yvonne Turk

Patent number: 11175986Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: selecting strips from each storage unit for a given erasure code stripe such that the given erasure code stripe includes at most one strip from a high failure rate region of the respective storage unit, where each of the storage units include high and low failure rate regions. The selected strips are organized such that a number of each strip in the given erasure code stripe is offset from the remaining strips by an amount that is greater than a total number of strips in the high failure rate regions. The organized selected strips are further mapped to form the given erasure code stripe such that the high failure rate regions on each storage unit are mapped to one or more sequentially numbered strips, and the low failure rate regions are mapped to additional sequentially numbered strips.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John Stewart Best, Steven Robert Hetzler

Publication number: 20210295733Abstract: A method of configuring a smart booklet to encourage adherence to a treatment and/or educational program is disclosed, wherein the smart booklet is “off the grid” (e.g., not connected to an electrical or networking grid) and includes an integrated behavior incentivization feature. Based on an activation of a detection feature of the smart booklet, it is detected whether a state of one or more pages of the smart booklet has changed. Based on the determination that the state of the one or more pages has changed, a set of data items pertaining to the adherence to the treatment and/or educational program is created or updated. Based on an identification that the set of data items is indicative of a failure or a success with respect to the adherence to the treatment program, a message pertaining to the failure or the success is communicated via an output component of the smart booklet (e.g., to encourage the adherence to the treatment and/or educational program).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2020Publication date: September 23, 2021Applicant: Humanity Press, Inc.Inventors: John Stewart Caldwell, Robert de Rooy, Erica Leigh Boshoff, Aarushi Abraham Karimpanal, Giles Matthew Lowe

Patent number: 10843458Abstract: Techniques are presented for digital ink jet printing upon a substrate with a significant third dimension. Droplets in the range of 120 pL to 200 pL have been found suitable for substrates with variability, in the third dimension, of up to approximately 4 cm. A larger droplet can be generated by utilizing a plurality of drive pulses, each of which generates a smaller droplet, and having the plurality of smaller droplets combine in mid-air. The data to be printed can be derived from a 3D model and such 3D model can also be used to guide shaping of the substrate. The 3D model can be produced from 2D image data. If the 2D image data is a two-dimensional portrait photograph, a result, of using the present invention, can be a realistic portrait in the form of a bas-relief sculpture.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: 3DPhotoWorks LLCInventors: John Stewart Olson, Angelo Raymond Quattrociocchi

Publication number: 20200356565Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices relating to the facilitation of interactions between consumer users and supplier users. Consumer users with a need for specialized expertise enter a query on their computing device. This query is communicated to a server which searches its database for supplier users who have specialized expertise which may address the consumer user's query. A list of such supplier users is compiled by the server and this list is sent to the consumer user. The consumer user then selects one or more of these supplier users and the server activates one or more communications modules which allows the consumer user to interact with the selected supplier user. The interaction between the consumer user and the supplier user is timed by the server and the length of the interaction is stored and reported to both users.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2017Publication date: November 12, 2020Inventor: John Stewart

Publication number: 20200349015Abstract: A cloud-based data protection service is disclosed. In an embodiment, the data protection service may support backup of data sets from one or more sites associated with one or more organizations. In an embodiment, deduplication of backup data across multiple sites of an organization and/or multiple sites associated with different organizations may be supported. In an embodiment, backup data may be post-processed in the cloud to insert fingerprints corresponding to data blocks that did not change since a previous backup was performed, to scan the backup for security threats such as viruses, other malware, personally identifiable information, etc. In an embodiment, restore may be supported from the cloud, where restore blocks may be larger than backup data blocks. In another embodiment, restore may be based on blocks that have changed since the most recent backup (or a user-selected backup).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2020Publication date: November 5, 2020Inventors: Lawrence Jaemyung Chang, Woon Ho Jung, Poojan Kumar, Monoreet Mutsuddi, Amber Palekar, Hung Hing Anthony Pang, Kaustubh Sambhaji Patil, Rishabh Sharma, John Stewart

Patent number: 10761149Abstract: Methods and apparatus for energizing a wound component are described. In one arrangement, a method of energizing a component with an alternating voltage is provided. The component comprises a coil wound on a magnetic core. The method comprises applying a voltage across the coil that has a first waveform during a first time period and a second waveform during a second time period. The second time period is subsequent to the first time period. The second waveform comprises an oscillating function comprising a sequence of identical waveforms. The first waveform is such that if the coil had zero electrical resistance the variation of flux density in the magnetic core with time would change sign at least once during the first waveform.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2016Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: VOLTECH INSTRUMENTS, LTD.Inventors: John Stewart Ford, Lionel Ind
