Patent number: 11668544Abstract: An EM driver for accelerating an object may be configured as an EM rifle for accelerating, rotating to spin-stabilize, and releasing a projectile. A core includes a stator coil, forward and reverse coils, a railed shaft, and a transfer shaft. The stator coil generates a first EM field, and the forward and reverse coils generate second and third EM fields which interact with the first EM field to accelerate the armature in forward and reverse directions, respectively. The railed shaft is elongated along a central axis through the armature and includes multiple rails arranged helically around a central shaft. The armature remains in contact with the rails during acceleration so as to impart a turning motion. The transfer shaft is physically coupled with and projects forwardly from the armature and transfers to the projectile the acceleration and the turning motion of the armature in the forward direction.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, LLCInventors: Erik Joseph Timpson, Seth Hartman, Joshua J.

Patent number: 11181680Abstract: A luminaire includes a housing, light-emitting diodes and a light guide. A lateral direction from a top side to a bottom side of the housing is a preferred direction. A front side of the housing forms an aperture. The light guide substantially spans the aperture. In operation, the LEDs emit light toward the preferred direction, which light enters a light coupling surface of the light guide, where it propagates and is substantially retained by total internal reflection. The light guide includes light extraction features to redirect a portion of the light out of total internal reflection, so that some of the light exits the housing through the aperture. The light extraction features redirect some of the light so that more of the light exits the aperture between a normal direction of the light guide and the preferred direction, than between the normal direction and the non-preferred direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2020Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: ABL IP Holding LLCInventors: Christopher J.

Publication number: 20200074497Abstract: Approaches provide for evaluating lift associated with supplemental content based on a Monte Carlo unexposed method. Users may be separated into groups of exposed users that have interacted with supplemental content and an unexposed group that has not interacted with the supplemental content. Activity of the users in the unexposed groups may be tracked over conversion windows that are obtained, at least in part, from conversion windows of the exposed users. Thereafter, conversion rates for the unexposed group may be determined within the same windows as those of the exposed group to determine the impact of the supplemental content.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2018Publication date: March 5, 2020Inventor: Joshua J.

Patent number: 10492263Abstract: Lighting devices, systems, and methods are disclosed. One lighting device includes a reflector, first and second groups of light emitters, and a controller. The reflector defines a reflective cavity having an opening and an interior surface including first and second features adapted to reflect light in different manners. The first and second groups of light emitters are positioned to emit light through the reflective cavity toward the first and second features, respectively. The controller is coupled to the first and second groups of light emitters, and is configured to control the first group of emitters to emit light having a first value of a characteristic of emitted light, and control the second group of emitters to emit light having a second value of the characteristic of emitted light different from the first value.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2017Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: ABL IP HOLDING LLCInventors: Joshua J.

Patent number: 10415799Abstract: A dual output downlight luminaire includes a housing that forms at least a first cavity. A partition extends from a portion of the housing and at least partially forms a boundary between the first cavity and an annular second cavity. A first light source emits a first light that is centered about an optical axis and propagates toward a first output aperture. An optic redirects the first light to form a first light beam that exits the luminaire through the first output aperture. A concentrated portion of the first light beam subtends an angle of 60 degrees or less and is centered about the optical axis. A plurality of second light sources, within the second cavity, emit a second light that exits the luminaire through an annular second output aperture. The first and second light sources are independently controllable with respect to each other.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2016Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: ABL IP Holding LLCInventors: Douglas Grove, Peter K.

Patent number: 10344476Abstract: A luminaire configured for mounting to a grid ceiling system includes first and second portions. The first portion includes a first housing, one or more first mating elements, and a light engine coupled with the first housing that generates light from electrical power, and is oriented to emit the light away from the first housing. The second portion includes a second housing and one or more second mating elements. The second mating elements are adapted to couple with the first mating elements. At least one of the first portion and the second portion includes an electrical receptacle for receiving the electrical power for the light engine. When the first mating elements couple with the second mating elements, the first housing and the second housing together define a cavity for one or more members of the grid ceiling system.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2016Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: ABL IP Holding LLCInventors: Christopher J.

Patent number: 9889725Abstract: A simplified truck cap handle and lock assembly is provided. Unlike truck cap handle and lock assemblies known in the art, the assembly is comprised of a codeable lock that is disposed in a position that is not perpendicular to the glass access window of the cap. The lock of the present invention is rotated 90° from the perpendicular. Further, the lock is codeable because it is preferably keyed to match other locks and ignition key switch of the vehicle with which the assembly is used. The invention provides a unique locking structure having a number of components that form the assembly. The assembly is easy to use and easy to install in an aftermarket application. Further, the assembly can be easily converted to an electronic actuated version without any retooling of the component parts of the assembly. The assembly provides the user with tactile feedback as to its operation.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2015Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: VSI, LLCInventors: Lucas Boesel, Joshua J. Miller
