Patent number: 9558185Abstract: Disclosed are several examples of systems that can read millions of news feeds per day about topics (e.g., your customers, competitors, markets, and partners), and provide a small set of the most relevant items to read to keep current with the overwhelming amount of information currently available. Topics of interest can be chosen by the user of the system for use as seeds. The seeds can be vectorized and compared with the target documents to determine their similarity. The similarities can be sorted from highest to lowest so that the most similar seed and target documents are at the top of the list. This output can be produced in XML format so that an RSS Reader can format the XML. This allows for easy Internet access to these recommendations.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2013Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: UT-Battelle LLCInventors: Thomas Eugene Potok, Chad Allen Steed, Robert Matthew Patton

Patent number: 9250200Abstract: A Compton tomography system comprises an x-ray source configured to produce a planar x-ray beam. The beam irradiates a slice of an object to be imaged, producing Compton-scattered x-rays. The Compton-scattered x-rays are imaged by an x-ray camera. Translation of the object with respect to the source and camera or vice versa allows three-dimensional object imaging.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2012Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Physical Optics CorporationInventors: Victor Grubsky, Volodymyr Romanoov, Keith Shoemaker, Edward Matthew Patton, Tomasz Jannson

Patent number: 9163936Abstract: Profilometers for industrial metrology and other applications are described. A line is projected on a surface to be profiled. The line is scanned to build a three dimensional point cloud allowing the three-dimensional (3D) profile of the surface to be determined. In some embodiments, the line is projected by a laser system. In other embodiments, the line is projected by a digital micromirror device (DMD). In still further embodiments, multiple lines, or other patterns are projected.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2013Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: Physical Optics CorporationInventors: Christopher Thad Ulmer, Paul Shnitser, David Harold Miller, Edward Matthew Patton, Paul Wilkinson

Patent number: 6153294Abstract: The present invention is directed to the formation of pressure resistant buoyancy structures with a given buoyancy efficiency at smaller sizes. The invention involves embedding into syntactic foam metallic spheres which preferably are substantially hollow and comprise high strength, high performance, light weight metal alloys which can be precision forged. The weight per unit space of the metallic spheres is less than that of the syntactic foam. As a result, the metallic spheres can decrease the size of the structure required to achieve a desired buoyancy efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1998Date of Patent: November 28, 2000Assignee: Saipem S.p.A.Inventors: Edward Matthew Patton, Jerry Allen Henkener, Lawrence Jon Goland, Timothy Stewart Rennick

Patent number: 6146482Abstract: A method for making a reinforced pipeline comprising determining the thicknesses of a metallic liner and a reinforcement which are effective to limit stresses on a reinforced pipeline at a known operating pressure to a known percentage of the specified minimum yield strength and a known percentage of at least one actual yield strength along the length of the pipeline which differs from the specified minimum yield strength. Preferably, the reinforced pipeline is pressurized to produce yielding which results in a residual stress pattern effective to resist ductile fracture propagation along a longitudinal axis of said metallic liner along a length of the pipeline comprising at least two actual yield strengths.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1998Date of Patent: November 14, 2000Assignee: Southwest Research InstituteInventors: Edward Matthew Patton, Timothy Stewart Rennick, Carl Harry Popelar
