Publication number: 20220093681Abstract: Methods and systems for creation of a flexible display panel, useable with a folding palm top or similar device, are disclosed. Embodiments include forming a micro-LED based display panel that uses a transparent flexible electrode. The transparent flexible electrode is fabricated from reduced graphene oxide and a wire mesh, to achieve a flexible electrode that is comparable to known Indium-Tin-Oxide electrodes in transparency and electrical characteristics, but is sufficiently flexible to support folding device usages. Other embodiments are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2021Publication date: March 24, 2022Inventors: Khaled Ahmed, Marshall Smith

Publication number: 20060265159Abstract: A position sensor monitors relatively fast moving objects with signal conditioning for reduced power and reduced wiring. A transducer and related circuitry generate a dynamic signal proportional to a position of a moving object and also generate one or more low frequency or static (DC or zero frequency) error signals. The low or zero frequency error signals are removed and a position signal is generated using only two connections to a remote sensor monitor, thus allowing ease in multiplexing and reduced wiring. Circuit options allow placing less circuitry on the sensor itself for small size or more circuitry on the sensor for less control requirement.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2006Publication date: November 23, 2006Applicant: WOLFF CONTROLS CORPORATIONInventors: Marshall Smith, Richard Stettler

Publication number: 20060174682Abstract: A sensor monitoring system and associated methods are provide that preferably include a plurality of sensors connected in parallel across a single pair of wires that include resistances of equal value placed in series between each sensor. This allows each sensor to measure the voltage dropped between itself and the monitoring system to determine its relative placement on the bus to autonomously assign itself a number to delineate to the monitoring system its relative location on the equipment or item being monitored. The sensors modulate their internal resistance to change the current on the bus to transmit their status to the monitoring system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2005Publication date: August 10, 2006Inventors: Marshall Smith, Richard Stettler

Publication number: 20060151122Abstract: A method of operating a vaporization system including a first cylinder, a second cylinder, and an eductor having a suction inlet, a motive inlet, and an outlet is provided. The method includes vaporizing uranium hexaflouride in the first cylinder, channeling the vaporized uranium hexaflouride in the first cylinder to the suction inlet of the eductor, monitoring the pressure of the vaporized uranium hexaflouride channeled to the suction inlet, and channeling the vaporized uranium hexaflouride through the outlet. The method also includes vaporizing uranium hexaflouride in the second cylinder, and channeling the vaporized uranium hexaflouride in the second cylinder to the motive inlet of the eductor when the flow of uranium hexaflouride channeled to the suction inlet is below a predetermined amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2005Publication date: July 13, 2006Inventors: Billy Hines, Frank Beaty, Glen Smith, John Berger, Marshall Smith

Publication number: 20050116704Abstract: A proximity sensor is carried within a small diameter package and includes a magnet for providing a desirable magnetic field for operation of proximity sensing circuitry carried along a central axis to allow for a maximum sensor signal output with no change due to a relative rotation angle between the sensor and a target being monitored. Electrical contact pins include an offset positioned near the central axis for permitting a desirable small gauge insulated wire to be connected the sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2004Publication date: June 2, 2005Applicant: Wolff Controls CorporationInventors: Richard Stettler, Marshall Smith

Patent number: 6697747Abstract: A method of performing an operation comprises operation steps and evaluation steps. The evaluation steps comprise: identifying a set of performance shaping factors which influence the outcome of the operation; allocating a probability value to each performance shaping factor, the probability value representing the influence of the respective performance shaping factor on the performance of the operation; allocating a weighting value to each performance shaping factor, the weighting value representing the significance of the respective performance shaping factor relative to at least one other of the performance shaping factors; calculating, from the probability values and the weighting values, an effectiveness value representing the effectiveness of the operation. The operation may be an inspection process, for example on an aircraft or a fleet of aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2001Date of Patent: February 24, 2004Assignee: Rolls-Royce PLCInventor: Richard Francis Marshall Smith

Patent number: 3945077Abstract: A motor drives a film strip take-up reel to draw moving picture film from a freely rotating film supply reel through a film cleaner including a pair of oppositely rotating brushes also driven from said motor. The brushes are disposed on aligned and parallel shafts disposed at a level below that of the supply reel and above that of the take-up reel; with the film following a path generally downwardly from the supply reel about the lower portion of the cleaner brush closest to the film supply reel, up between the cleaner brushes and over the upper portion of the film cleaner brush closest to the film take-up reel, and thereafter generally downwardly onto the film take-up reel. The film path so taken by the film provides for an appropriate tension on the film which in turn insures efficient and proper film cleaning.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 1975Date of Patent: March 23, 1976Inventors: James W. Elsbery, Raymond Marshall Smith
