  • Non-contact measurement of multi-temperature profile of an object
    Patent number: 10378962
    Abstract: A method involves determining multiple temperatures of an object from spectral data collected from the object. The spectral data covers a plurality of wavelengths. The method comprises using a computer to (a) assign an initial value for residual radiation; (b) identify a black body profile that best fits the spectral data over the plurality of wavelengths; (c) remove radiation corresponding to the identified profile from the residual radiation; and (d) return to (b) until the residual radiation reaches a termination criterion.

  • FLOAT BATH EXIT SEAL
    Publication number: 20190233318
    Abstract: A method of reducing the volume of float bath atmosphere lost from an opening in the exit end of the float bath is described. The method comprises directing a first jet of fluid having a first jet velocity followed by a second jet velocity towards a plane a conveyance for a float glass ribbon. An obstruction in the path of the first jet of fluid causes the jet to change from the second to a third jet velocity. The obstruction may be a portion of a roller positioned outside the opening or a float glass ribbon that has been formed on a surface of molten metal contained in the float bath that has subsequently been transferred through the opening. A float bath having sealing means to reduce atmosphere loss from an exit of the float bath is also described, as is an assembly useful in carrying out the aforementioned methods.

  • Dynamic critical access override for medication dispensing apparatuses
    Patent number: 10366209
    Abstract: A critical access override list may be generated dynamically based on patient profile information for a single patient or a group of patients. A single patient or group of patients is initially identified. Patient profile information for the patient or group of patients is accessed. The patient profile information is analyzed, and medications are selected for critical access override. The selected medications are added to a critical access override list available to a medication dispensing apparatus to provide quicker access to the medications for emergency situation purposes via critical access override dispensing in which fewer steps are performed than normal medication dispensing events.

  • RADIALLY AND AXIALLY SELF-ALIGNING SPLIT SEAL RING
    Publication number: 20190186636
    Abstract: A split seal ring having end faces that self-align in both the axial and radial directions is prepared by forming an opposing first pair of angled grooves extending from an inner edge partway across the seal ring inner diameter, and a second pair of angled grooves extending from the inner edge partway across the seal ring rear surface. In embodiments, corresponding grooves meet to form V-shapes. Additional grooves can extend from the outer edge partway across the inner diameter. Corresponding grooves extending from the outer and inner edges on the inner diameter can terminate at locations that are offset radially and/or angularly. By applying an outward force, the seal ring is split at the groove locations into split ring sections having mating end faces. The resulting end face geometry is sufficiently complex to cause both radial and axial realignment as the seal ring halves are mated together.

  • Snoop filter for cache coherency in a data processing system
    Patent number: 10310979
    Abstract: A data processing system, having two or more of processors that access a shared data resource, and method of operation thereof. Data stored in a local cache is marked as being in a ‘UniqueDirty’, ‘SharedDirty’, ‘UniqueClean’, ‘SharedClean’ or ‘Invalid’ state. A snoop filter monitors access by the processors to the shared data resource, and includes snoop filter control logic and a snoop filter cache configured to maintain cache coherency. The snoop filter cache does not identify any local cache that stores the block of data in a ‘SharedDirty’ state, resulting in a smaller snoop filter cache size and simple snoop control logic. The data processing system by be defined by instructions of a Hardware Description Language.
