Patent number: 12620849Abstract: A vehicle brushless alternator assembly that includes a claw pole rotor assembly having a pair of opposing pole pieces. The rotor defining an axis of rotation, each of the pole pieces having multiple circumferentially spaced pole fingers extending axially. The pole fingers of the rotor alternating between north and south magnetic polarities upon energization of a field coil. The assembly including a cylindrical stator including armature enveloping the magnetic claw poles, the stator arranged coaxially relative to the drive shaft. The field coil positioned relative to said rotor to generate magnetic flux and the field coil including a first field winding electrically connected with a second field winding by a switch such that: in a first operable configuration the switch operates to electrically connect the field windings in series during energization and in a second operable configuration the switch operates to electrically connect the field windings in parallel during energization.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2021Date of Patent: May 5, 2026Assignee: RAPID POWER INDUSTRIESInventor: Mark Roberts

Patent number: 12528749Abstract: The present invention allows for better control over strength in concrete mixes and mix designs, while minimizing the over-use of cement and promoting sustainability within the industry. Disclosed are novel method and system which employ a diagnostic delta data (DDD) curve, or, in other words, data that displays a curvilinear relationship when plotted on a visual graph, as obtained by considering the differences (e.g., subtractive differences or ratios) as between (i) target slump and target (or maximum) water content, and (ii) slump and water content values as determined using an automated slump monitoring system which measures slump and water content in the concrete mix during delivery. This DDD curve can then be compared to monitored delta slump and delta water content for later or other deliveries, such that adjustments can be made to the concrete mix or mix design, in a manner that encourages avoidance of cement over-dosing or over-prescription.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2021Date of Patent: January 20, 2026Assignee: GCP APPLIED TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: Nathan Tregger, Mark Roberts

Patent number: 11789915Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for improving anomaly detection in timeseries datasets. Different machine learning models may be trained to process specific types of timeseries data efficiently and accurately. Thus, selecting a proper machine learning model for identifying anomalies in a specific set of timeseries data may greatly improve accuracy and efficiency of anomaly detection. Another way to improve anomaly detection is to process a multitude of timeseries datasets for a time period (e.g., 90 days) to detect anomalies from those timeseries datasets and then correlate those detected anomalies by generating an anomaly timeseries dataset and identifying anomalies within the anomaly timeseries dataset. Yet another way to improve anomaly detection is to divide a dataset into multiple datasets based on a type of anomaly detection requested.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Vannia Gonzalez Macias, Talha Koc, Mark Davis, Prarthana Bhattarai, Mark Roberts, Alan Rozet, Mengfei Shao

Publication number: 20230316112Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure include at least one processor that receives a data set of a data stream from a data source, where the data set includes a time-varying data points. The processor determines event observations associated with data points of the time-varying data points based on a detection model to identify types of the event observations, including: i) anomalies, ii) change-points, iii) patterns, or iv) outliers. The processor generates anomaly records in an event data store based on the event observations and automatically generates event records for at least one of the anomaly records based on variables of at least one dimension of the time-varying data points, where the event record links one or more event observations. The processor automatically applies changes in the event record to each event observation of the one or more event observations based on the linking by the event record.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: John C.

Patent number: 11752015Abstract: A failsafe for a transdermal apparatus for a prosthetic appendage can include a first plate, a second plate, and a breakaway connector. The first plate can have a central axis, a proximal portion, and a distal end. The distal end can be opposite the proximal portion, and the distal end can be securable with a prosthetic external to skin and can be configured to simulate an appendage of a patient. The second plate can be aligned with the central axis and can include a proximal end and a distal portion. The proximal end can be securable to a transdermal implant, and can extend proximally from the second plate. The distal portion can be opposite the proximal end, and the distal portion can be configured to interface with the proximal portion of the first plate. The breakaway connector can be couplable within the second plate and the first plate.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2020Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Joshua R.
