  • Patent number: 10574791
    Abstract: Example methods and apparatus to access process data stored on a server are described herein. An example method includes receiving a request to access process data via a web browser, identifying a server that stores at least a portion of the process data, wherein the server is associated with an interoperability data packing format, accessing the server to receive the process data, converting the process data from a format associated with the interoperability data packing format to a web browsing format, and embedding at least a first portion of the converted process data into at least one data field for display via the web browser.

  • Patent number: 10427787
    Abstract: An aircraft store ejector systems and subsystems thereof. Embodiments can include a two-reservoir re-pressurization system wherein a remote reservoir is used to maintain desired pressure in a local ejector reservoir. The system can include a release valve having a vent valve and valve piston. The release valve can control release of pressurized gas to a pitch control valve. The pitch control valve can be configured to distribute the pressurized gas between two or more ejector piston assemblies. One or more of the ejector piston assemblies can include multiple concentric piston stages and piston chambers, the piston chambers configured to contain a volume of gas. The ejector piston assemblies can be configured to compress the volume of gas within the piston chambers as the piston stages are extended out from the aircraft. Such compression can provide a return force to the piston stages.

  • Patent number: 10221675
    Abstract: A non-straight sensor array within a gravity field, within a surface and cyclically surrounding a medial axis. The sensor array includes rigid bodies holding gravimetric tilt sensors, the rigid bodies being connected by flexible joints. The flexibility of the joints is constrained to two degrees of freedom. The shape of the path, the surface, and the medial axis are measured in at least two dimensions, using the tilt sensor data and the geometrical constraints of the joints. The cyclical geometry permits simultaneous measurement of lateral and axial deformations in deployments varying from axially vertical to axially horizontal, as well as improved fit of the array to surrounding surfaces. The field of use includes geotechnical measurements of soil and civil structures.

  • Patent number: 9777568
    Abstract: A bipartite sensor array comprising two portions capable of assembly into a single sensory system. A first portion includes rigid bodies connected by elongate flexures and fitted with gravimetric tilt sensors. The elongate flexures are capable of non-monotonic and non-constant bend in two degrees of freedom. A second portion includes rigid bodies connected by joints, contains the first portion. The second portion, which may be delivered and assembled separately from the first, provides rigidity and protection, enabling the first portion to have short rigid bodies and long connecting flexures, thereby reducing the number of sensors required. The bipartite sensor array is applicable to geotechnical measurements of soil and civil structures.

  • Patent number: 9721420
    Abstract: A gaming method for presenting both gaming content based video signals and secondary video signals over a multi-layer touch screen display using a multiple Display Manager system is disclosed. First and second display managers are configured to receive game content video signals from a gaming controller and secondary video signals from a secondary video source. The first display manager is in communication with a front layer of the touch screen display and the second display manager is in communication with a back layer of the touch screen display. The screen may be split between multiple signals, or one or more signals may overlay one or more background signals. The overlaid signals may completely obscure the background signals, or they may provide a level of transparency. A touch router device interprets touches at a touch screen shared display to transform coordinates to enable interpretation of the player's touch inputs.

  • Patent number: 9582183
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for presenting both primary content and secondary content on a single display. The system includes: a touch screen display configured to display content, a primary controller configured to generate primary content, and a secondary controller configured to generate secondary content. The display manager alters at least one of the primary content and the secondary content, enabling the primary content to be rendered with the secondary content on the touch screen display. The system also includes a coordinate transformation device that receives coordinates from an input on the touch screen display and accommodates any scaling or shifting performed on at least one of the primary content and the secondary content to determine transformed coordinates corresponding of the rendered content prior to routing the transformed coordinates to the proper primary controller or secondary controller.

  • Publication number: 20160177483
    Abstract: A composite reinforcement includes a first nonwoven mat. A laid scrim overlies the first nonwoven mat, the laid scrim including a first plurality of yarns substantially oriented in a first direction and a second plurality of yarns substantially oriented in a second direction different from the first direction. The second plurality of yarns includes at least one different material from the first plurality of yarns and each of the yarns in the second plurality of yarns includes a tension greater than a tension of each of the yarns in the first plurality of yarns. A second nonwoven mat overlies the laid scrim, and a binder laminates the first nonwoven mat, the laid scrim, and the second nonwoven mat together to form the composite reinforcement.

  • Publication number: 20160026813
    Abstract: A process control system software security architecture, that is more effective at preventing zero-day or other types of malware attacks, implements the use of “least privileges” when executing the applications and services run within a computer device. The least privileges based architecture separates “service” processes from desktop applications that run on behalf of a logged-on user by partitioning the global namespace of the software system into service namespaces and logged-on user namespaces, and by strictly controlling communications between the applications and services in these different namespaces using interprocess communications. Moreover, the security architecture uses custom accounts to assure that each service process has the least set of privileges that are needed for implementing its function regardless of the privileges associated with the calling application or user.
