Patent number: 10536033Abstract: A communication system that involves superimposing data over DC power. The data takes the form of high bitrate digital signals, where the bitrate is much higher than 0 Hz (DC); this separation allows the AC signal to be easily separated from the DC power. The physical system consists of a two conductor cable, and integration is modular, in that multiple slaves can be connected and disconnected to a master through a routing bus also comprising two conductors. The master can communicate bi-directionally with the slave(s), and the data is encoded using DC-balanced encoding in an FPGA. The data is sent to and from a differential signaling transmitter/receiver pairs at each end of the cable. The system is may be used with position sensors, and provides the benefit of reducing cable costs and sensor size due to the decrease in number of conductors and elimination of power components in the sensor.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2017Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Novanta CorporationInventors: Paul A. Remillard, Andrew M. Goldman, Mark Lang

Publication number: 20190170281Abstract: There is disclosed a locking sleeve apparatus for securing rotating connection components. In an embodiment, the locking sleeve apparatus comprises: an elongate tube having an inner profile configured to slidingly engage an outer profile of a plurality of rotating connection components; and one or more locking mechanisms positioned internally in the elongate tube near at least one end of the elongate tube; whereby, the plurality of rotating components are mechanically coupled by the elongate tube, and prevented from rotating relative to each other. The inner profile of the elongate tube matches commonly available rotating connection components with multi-sided outer profiles, such as hexagonal nuts. The rotating connection components are configured to rotate in opposite directions relative to each other to tighten or loosen. The one or more locking mechanisms keep the locking sleeve apparatus fitted over the rotating connection components to prevent loosening.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2018Publication date: June 6, 2019Applicant: NewAge Oilfield Services Inc.Inventors: Peter Mark Lang, Brandan Lee Davis

Patent number: 7620042Abstract: A router for transferring data packets between external devices. The router comprises: 1) a switch fabric; and 2) R routing nodes coupled to the switch fabric. Each routing node exchanges data packets with the external devices and with other routing nodes via the switch fabric. A first routing node comprises: i) an inbound network processor having a first plurality of microengines that forward incoming data packets from external ports to the switch fabric; ii) an outbound network processor having a second plurality of microengines that forward outgoing data packets from the switch fabric to the external ports; and iii) a plurality of registers for transferring messages between the first and second plurality of microengines. The registers may be 32-bit mailboxes for transferring short messages or 2 Kbyte FIFO buffers for transferring one or more large data packets.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2004Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jack C. Wybenga, Patricia K. Sturm, Mark Lang

Patent number: 6660322Abstract: A new cocoa bean processing technique which, in stark contrast to conventional cocoa processing methods, preserves the beneficial flavanoid compounds of cocoa beans in finished, cocoa bean-based foodstuffs. The present method produces roasted cocoa beans that can be ground and the liquor can be either cooled and allowed to solidify (unsweetened chocolate) or pressed and re-ground to form cocoa powder. The resulting cocoa powder can then be used in a traditional manner to make sweetened chocolate products such as candy and beverages for consumption by humans or animals. The resulting products will be a source of flavanoid compounds, which are known antioxidants.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2001Date of Patent: December 9, 2003Inventors: Loretta Zapp, Thomas J.
