Publication number: 20180248827Abstract: Heterogeneous cloud controllers are employed to communicatively couple a plurality of service providers to a publisher-subscriber queue. The heterogeneous cloud controllers may provide a unified communication framework for clients to communicate with the service providers, as well as for the service providers to communicate with one another. A global language may be established by the heterogeneous cloud controller, and a mapping may be created between the global language and the local language of each of the service providers. Each of the heterogeneous cloud controllers may form a bridge between the global language employed at the publisher-subscriber queue and the local language employed at a corresponding service provider.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2017Publication date: August 30, 2018Inventors: John M. Scharber, Mark A. Green

Patent number: 10046699Abstract: This invention relates in general to the field of safety devices, and more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to systems and methods for providing advanced warning and risk evasion when hazardous conditions exist. In one embodiment, a vicinity monitoring unit is provided for monitoring, for example, oncoming traffic near a construction zone. In some embodiments, the vicinity monitoring unit may be mounted onto a construction vehicle to monitor nearby traffic and send a warning signal if hazardous conditions exist. In some embodiments, personnel tracking units may be worn by construction workers and the personnel tracking units may be in communication with the vicinity monitoring unit. In some embodiments, a base station is provided for monitoring activities taking place in or near a construction site including monitoring the locations of various personnel and vehicles within the construction site.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2017Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: CRH Americas Materials, Inc.Inventors: Edwin Hathaway, Mark Green, Kent Baumann, Chad Green, Lee Cole, Chris Schwedtmann, Nathan Creech

Patent number: 10007368Abstract: Different lamination methods may be used to create a touch sensor with a darkened side of metalized film facing the user. One lamination method includes laminating a metalized film to an optically clear adhesive (OCA) layer such that an edge of the metalized film including the termination pads remain un-adhered to the OCA layer. Flex-tails may be bonded to the termination pads at a later time by bending up the un-adhered edge. Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF) may be placed on the termination pads prior to laminating the metalized films. Flex-tails may be placed onto an OCA layer in a location where the termination pads on the metalized film will be located when laminated to the OCA layer. A strip of ACF may be placed on the flex-tail pads. The flex-tails may be bonded to the termination pads of the metalized film prior to the metalized film being laminated.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2016Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jason D.

Patent number: 9355795Abstract: A switch assembly includes an M-blade snap spring, an actuation arm, and a switch. The M-blade snap spring exhibits snap-action movement between a first actuator position and a second actuator position. The switch is responsive to the snap-action movement of the M-blade to move between a first switch position and a second switch position. The actuation arm is configured to selectively cause the M-blade snap spring to move, via snap-action, between the first actuator position and the second actuator position, which in turn causes the switch to move between the first switch position and the second switch position, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2013Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Mark Green, Steven Speece, Brian Speldrich
