Patent number: 10088032Abstract: A centralizing bushing assembly includes a bushing housing having axial ends and an opening extending therethrough along an axial axis. The opening can have a pocket extending outwardly from the axial axis within the bushing housing and have internal shoulders axially facing each other. A bushing ring can be positioned within the pocket of the bushing housing between the internal shoulders. The bushing ring can have a split for allowing collapsing of the bushing ring radially inward and have an inner diameter for slidably engaging an axially movable shaft extending through the bushing housing along the axial axis and also have an outer shoulder. A resilient biasing member can be positioned against the outer shoulder of the bushing ring for radially biasing the inner diameter of the bushing ring radially inwardly in a centralizing manner about the axial axis for engaging and centralizing the shaft slidably positioned therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2017Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Jim Lamson, Keith Knight

Patent number: 7815157Abstract: A method for reinstating a pole standing in ground comprising, abutting an inner surface of a sleeve against an outer surface of the pole so as to have a lower portion of the sleeve penetrating the ground and an upper portion of the sleeve projecting above the ground, and sliding a secondary member against an outer surface of the sleeve so that the secondary member locates against the sleeve and projects above the ground and into the ground, wherein the construction is such that the sleeve and secondary member located against the sleeve jointly form a bridging beam incorporating a box section reinforcement of the bridging beam. The formation of this box section substantially improves the strength of the bridging beam above what would be expected from the strength of the individual components.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2005Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Andoria Pty. Ltd.Inventors: John Keith Knight, Robert Edwin Randell, Carmel Geraldine Chell

Publication number: 20090265279Abstract: A system for managing hedge funds includes a storage unit operable to store hedge fund information. The hedge fund information comprises at least one of a fund name, a fund share class, and denominated currency of a fund share class for a hedge fund. The system further includes a determination unit operable to determine, upon receiving hedge fund information, if the hedge fund information corresponds to a known hedge fund based on the received hedge fund information. The determination unit is operable to compare hedge fund information from a plurality of information sources so as to confirm whether the received hedge fund information relates to the same hedge fund.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2008Publication date: October 22, 2009Applicant: Strategic Financial Solutions, LLCInventors: Gerald D. Mintz, Roger Portnoy, Gary L. Metzker, Keith A. Knight, John M. Pettit, Meredith A. Jones

Patent number: 7298602Abstract: The present invention provides for a novel technique for placing superconducting magnets into operation. For example, the technique provides for automatically controlling ramp-up of a superconducting magnet. In one aspect, the technique includes connecting a power supply to the magnet, determining constraining parameters of the ramp-up, automatically applying power to the magnet, automatically controlling the ramp-up based on the constraining parameters, and wherein the ramp-up is complete upon reaching a predetermined value of a target parameter.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2003Date of Patent: November 20, 2007Assignee: GE Medical System, Inc.Inventor: Larry Keith Knight

Publication number: 20050091341Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for managing an interposed reverse proxy. The method can include comparing within a markup language document, a host address for the markup language document and a codebase address for a code base supporting logic disposed within the markup language document. If the host address and the codebase address differ, it can be concluded that a reverse proxy has obscured from view a server source of the markup language document. The method of the invention further can include retrieving a server affinity identifier for the server source from the configuration tags for the logic. Responsive to concluding that a reverse proxy has obscured from view a server source of the markup language document, a tunneled connection to the server source can be attempted through the reverse proxy by inserting the server affinity identifier in an address specified in the attempt.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2003Publication date: April 28, 2005Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Keith Knight, James Lawwill, Brian Pulito

Publication number: 20050076126Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for tunneling non-hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) data streams through a reverse proxy. The method can include soliciting a connection with a reverse proxy protecting a back-end server computing device. A connection can be established with the back-end server computing device via the reverse proxy through the solicitation. Responsive to establishing the connection, the connection can be maintained in order to exchange non-HTTP data over the secured connection. Significantly, and unlike prior art HTTP tunneling implementations, in the present invention, the non-HTTP data can be exchanged over the connection without encapsulating the non-HTTP data within HTTP messages.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2003Publication date: April 7, 2005Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Keith Knight, James Lawwill, Brian Pulito

Patent number: 6838964Abstract: Remote monitoring of superconducting magnet systems of various types, manufacturers, vintages, and so forth, via a magnet selector interface providing for configuring the monitoring system to the particular magnet system of interest. The technique provides for scalable analogue to digital conversion with integrated excitation circuitry for the input and output of magnet system sensors. Devices, such as remote terminal units and other data-logging technology may be adapted to remotely monitor primary indicators and secondary indicators of magnet system performance and related boil-off of helium. The technique provides earlier warning of impending failures in the magnet system, and thus facilitates predictive maintenance, reduces maintenance costs, reduces MRI downtime, reduces helium loss, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2003Date of Patent: January 4, 2005Assignee: GE Medical Technology Services, Inc.Inventors: Larry Keith Knight, Peter Chan

Patent number: 5815994Abstract: A bridging beam for bridging a weakened area of a pole to reinstate the pole. The beam includes a sleeve for abutting the external surface of the pole on an inner surface of the sleeve and an external brace extending outwardly from an outer surface of the sleeve. The brace is constructed to brace the sleeve in radial and tangential directions relative to the sleeve. The brace is formed as an elongate tubular box section.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1997Date of Patent: October 6, 1998Assignee: Powerbeam Pty, Ltd.Inventors: John Keith Knight, Noel William Murray
