Patent number: 11523221Abstract: A diaphragm for use in an audio transducer (e.g., a coaxial loudspeaker) includes a higher frequency transducer and a lower frequency transducer. The diaphragm is a component of the lower frequency transducer and is arranged coaxially with the higher frequency transducer. The diaphragm includes a first surface and an opposing second surface. The first surface has a profile shaped to define a horn for output from the higher frequency transducer and the geometry of the first surface is independent of the geometry of the second surface.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: TYMPHANY ACOUSTIC TECHNOLOGY LIMITEDInventors: Gavin Jones, George Albert Bullimore, Stuart Martin Hancock, Garry David Taylor

Patent number: 11388508Abstract: A coaxial loudspeaker includes a cone of a woofer; a waveguide of a tweeter, located at a front end towards the outside/large profile of the cone; and a first cavity. The first cavity includes a resonator and a cavity formed in the cone, and the resonator communicates with the cavity at the large profile of the cone. A side opposite to a position where the resonator communicates with the cavity is constructed as an orifice plate. The orifice plate is adjacent to the resonator and an orifice portion of the orifice plate communicates with the resonator.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: TYMPHANY ACOUSTIC TECHNOLOGY LIMITEDInventors: George Albert Bullimore, Gavin Jones, Stuart Martin Hancock

Patent number: 10025337Abstract: A system and method for managing an electrical distribution system in a facility is disclosed. In one aspect, the method may include receiving at a computer system from a monitoring system data related to actual energy use of components of the electrical distribution system, receiving at the computer system a request for a modification to the electrical distribution system, using the computer system, providing a revised electrical distribution system design based on the request and the data related to actual energy use using a system optimization function for the electrical distribution system, modifying the electrical distribution system in accordance with the revised electrical distribution system design to provide a modified electrical distribution system in the facility, and receiving at the computer system from the monitoring system data related to actual energy use of components of the modified electrical distribution system.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2011Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC USA, INC.Inventors: Martin A. Hancock, Matthew Stanlake, Peter C. Cowan, John C. Van Gorp, David Kidd, Hugh T. Lindsay, John Toffler, Catherine Gamroth, Kui Wu, Dimitri Marinakis

Patent number: 9103895Abstract: An automated emergency power supply system (EPSS) and testing solution that records generator load values and engine exhaust temperature values to evaluate whether an EPSS test satisfies legislated test criteria. The EPSS test is carried out under software control, which initiates a test by instructing an automatic transfer switch (ATS) to change its status to a test status, causing the essential loads to be powered by a generator instead of a main utility power source. Power monitors record the ATS and generator status during the test as well as electrical parameter data from the ATS and generator and exhaust temperature data and other engine parameter data from the generator. When the test is concluded, the ATS is instructed to return the status to normal so that power delivery is resumed from the main power source. The electrical and engine parameter data is analyzed and compared against legislated test criteria to determine a pass/fail result of the EPSS test.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2010Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC USA, INC.Inventors: Martin A. Hancock, Markus F. Hirschbold, John Charles Eggink, Peter Cowan, James M. Taufer, James A. Vun Cannon
