Patent number: 11953862Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing an optimal control configuration for a material processing system are provided. In operation, a material processing engine accesses causal graph input data. Causal graph input data includes input data of a continuous flow process. Based on the causal graph and the input data, a causal graph that aligns with do-calculus manipulations—associated with determining identifiable causal relationships corresponding to input materials of the continuous flow process—is generated. The causal graph is parsed based on the do-calculus manipulations to determine valid conditioning sets associated with estimating a causal impact on an optimization target. Based on the valid conditioning sets, an optimal control configuration comprising optimal control variable values is generated.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: THE BOSTON CONSULTING GROUP, INC.Inventors: John Thomas Clark, Jr., Joakim Kalvenes, Jason Thomas Stewart, Rohin Wood

Publication number: 20230007852Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a blending flow configuration for a material processing system that blends a material from multiple sources. A blending flow configuration identifies an arrangement of components and settings of the components in the material processing system to support blending a material. The blending flow configuration can support optimizing outcomes of different types of downstream processes. The material properties data are identified based on different types of measurements. For example, block models, lab assays, and on-stream analyzers can be used to determine a composition of the material. Grinding line performance data (or grinding line operation data) that estimates the grinding line performance or capacity can also be accessed. A description of a conveyance network design of the material processing system is generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2022Publication date: January 12, 2023Inventors: Joakim Kalvenes, Jason Thomas Stewart, John Thomas Clark, Jr., Rohin Wood

Publication number: 20230008357Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing an overflow management configuration for a material processing system that blends a material from multiple sources. The overflow management configuration identifies an arrangement of components and settings of the components in the material processing system to support blending a material while reducing a risk of overflow. The blending flow configuration can support optimizing outcomes of different types of downstream processes. The material properties data are identified based on different types of measurements. For example, block models, lab assays, and on-stream analyzers can be used to determine composition of the material. Grinding line performance data that estimates the grinding line performance or capacity can also be accessed. A description of a conveyance network design of the material processing system is generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2022Publication date: January 12, 2023Inventors: Joakim Kalvenes, Jason Thomas Stewart, John Thomas Clark, JR., Rohin Wood

Patent number: 10319541Abstract: A rotary motion switching apparatus is usable with a circuit interrupter and employs an attachment system in order to resist removal of the rotary motion switching apparatus from the circuit interrupter. The attachment system has three connectors that are engaged with an exterior surface of a housing of the circuit interrupter. The portions of the housing that are engaged by the three connectors are pre-existing portions of the exterior surface of the housing of the circuit interrupter.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2018Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: John Thomas Clark, Ramesh Shivaji Powar, Sujit Subhash Patwardhan

Patent number: 10312037Abstract: A rotary motion switching apparatus is usable with a circuit interrupter and employs an attachment system having a pair of connectors that are received in a pair of openings formed in a housing of a circuit interrupter and that are affixed to the housing within the openings in order to resist removal of the rotary motion switching apparatus from the circuit interrupter. The openings are pre-existing in the housing of the circuit interrupter and are provided to enable access by tools with terminals of the circuit interrupter to which load wires and the like are connectable. The connectors thus secure the rotary motion switching apparatus to the circuit interrupter by using openings that are already formed in the circuit interrupter and thus the rotary motion switching apparatus is usable without requiring a modification to the housing or to the molds that are employed to form the housing.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2018Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: John Thomas Clark, Ramesh Shivaji Powar, Sujit Subhash Patwardhan

Patent number: 10312046Abstract: A rotary motion switching apparatus is usable with a circuit interrupter that is situated in a NEMA box or other box and employs an attachment system. An access port that is formed in a wall of the NEMA box or other box permits a shaft having a handle at an end thereof to be connected with the rotary motion switching apparatus. The rotary motion switching apparatus includes a universal joint on a rotational component that enables operation of the handle and shaft without binding on the wall of the NEMA or other box even if the access port in the box is offset from an axis of rotation of the rotational component.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2018Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: John Thomas Clark, Ramesh Shivaji Powar, Sujit Subhash Patwardhan
