Publication number: 20240405864Abstract: Methods and systems for transferring data through a one-way transfer (OWT) system using a fault-tolerant data diode. Data from a source computing environment may be converted to an optical signal that is then split into duplicate signals. The duplicate optical signals are received by two receiving devices that have optical receivers. The receiving devices operate as either a primary device or a secondary device to continue transmission of the received data. The operating states of the receiving devices may change based the health or status of the respective devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2023Publication date: December 5, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Allen WEST, Kenneth Russell KLINZMAN, David Scott WILLARD

Publication number: 20240182659Abstract: A method of making an acid neutralizing polymer material includes preparing a first reaction mixture including a buffering agent and an amine salt of either a halogenated tertiary amine or a haloalkyl heterocyclic aromatic amine. The first reaction mixture is added to a first compounding machine and reacted for a time and at a temperature sufficient to produce a neutralized amine. A second reaction mixture including a polyamide material and a strong base is prepared, added to the first reaction product and reacted for a time and at a temperature sufficient to produce the acid neutralizing polymer material. Alternatively, the buffering agent, amine salt of either a halogenated tertiary amine or a haloalkyl heterocyclic aromatic amine, and the polyamide material may be added and reacted for a time and at a temperature sufficient to produce the acid neutralizing polymer material.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2023Publication date: June 6, 2024Applicant: Workers First LLCInventors: Matthew James Borowiak, Jr., Richard Earl Partch, Kenneth Russell, David Geraint Roberts

Publication number: 20240100815Abstract: A breathable synthetic roofing underlayment having a hydrophobic nonwoven layer on top to deflect water, a liquid water-resistant and vapour-permeable membrane layer in the middle, and a bottom nonwoven layer which is hydrophilic and has rapid and high liquid water absorbency. This accelerates the movement of liquid water from a roofing deck into the nonwoven bottom layer and increases the rate of transfer of water through the underlayment. The bottom layer comprises a carrier resin and a hydrophilic agent, which may be a polyamide such as polycaprolactam (Nylon 6) or poly(hexamethylene adipamide), a polysorbate or other composition. The underlayment is especially useful for application to wet roofing decks.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Gurpreet Singh Sandhar, Kenneth Russell Robson, Sahar Khedri

Patent number: 11752773Abstract: In one example, a system to fill or drain a reservoir in a printer includes a controller to set a unit to a total capacity of a container divided by an integer greater than 1, a container sensor to sense the container connected to the printer, and a pump to pump, in set unit increments, at least one unit of a printing agent from the container to the reservoir or from the reservoir to the container. In one example, a memory having processor executable instructions to generate a graphical user interface displaying, during the transfer of a printing agent from a container to a reservoir in a printer or from the reservoir to the container, an animation showing a changing volume of the printing agent in the reservoir and a corresponding changing volume of the printing agent in the container.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2019Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Howard G Wong, Wesley Schalk, Kris Randall Livingston, Kenneth Russell Williams
