Publication number: 20140196117Abstract: In one embodiment, a cloud client device sends authentication data to a cloud services system. When the cloud services system determines the cloud client device is authenticated, the cloud client device receives data for configuring the cloud client device from the cloud services system, the data including one or more software modules associated with a communication protocol. When the cloud services system determines the cloud client device is not authenticated, the cloud client device conducts a data wipe of the cloud client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2013Publication date: July 10, 2014Inventors: CURTIS JOHN SCHWEBKE, KIRAN RANGANATHA RAO, RICHARD GRAHAM COOK, KENNETH CRAIG COLEY

Patent number: 8688678Abstract: The present invention is related to methods and systems for processing search requests and for performing searches over a network. In an embodiment, a recipient designation is received from a user over a network. The designation indicates that future searches performed by the user are to be associated with the recipient (even if the subject matter of the search is not related to the recipient). A search request is received from the user; causing a search to be performed in response to the search request. An identifier corresponding to the recipient is stored in association with an indication regarding the occurrence of the first search request.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2012Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Goodsearch, LLCInventor: Kenneth Craig O. Ramberg

Patent number: 8339138Abstract: A composite gradient system is described, including a body gradient system and an insert gradient system, in which the body gradient system and the insert gradient system can be driven independently and simultaneously. The composite gradient system can provide an operator with the flexibility of imaging a subject using the body gradient system alone, the insert gradient system alone, or both gradient systems simultaneously, and therefore enjoy the advantages of each gradient system. In some embodiments, the body gradient system and the insert gradient system may be driven concurrently during an imaging sequence to produce composite magnetic field gradients having high amplitude and/or fast slew rate, resulting in high image resolution and/or fast image acquisition. In some embodiments, a subject may be imaged using the body gradient system alone while leaving the insert gradient system in place.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2009Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: University of Utah Research FoundationInventors: Dennis Lee Parker, John Rock Hadley, Kenneth Craig Goodrich

Patent number: 8306665Abstract: The present invention provides a control system for the conversion of carbonaceous feedstock into a gas. In particular, the control system is designed to be configurable for use in controlling one or more processes implemented in, and/or by, a gasification system for the conversion of such feedstock into a gas, which may be used for one or more downstream applications. Gasification processes controllable by different embodiments of the disclosed control system may include in various combinations, a converter, a residue conditioner, a recuperator and/or heat exchanger system, one or more gas conditioners, a gas homogenization system and one or more downstream applications. The control system operatively controls various local, regional and/or global processes related to the overall gasification process, and thereby adjusts various control parameters thereof adapted to affect these processes for a selected result.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2007Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Plasco Energy Group Inc.Inventors: Andreas Tsangaris, Kenneth Craig Campbell, Douglas Michael Feasby, Alisdair Alan McLean
