Patent number: 11966254Abstract: A system includes a tool for installing a cable material around a set of elongate members. The tool includes a housing; a cartridge detachably connected to the housing; and a jaw detachably connected to the housing. The cartridge has a length of cable material. The jaw is configured to extend around the set of elongate members to install the length of cable around the set of elongate members. A welding horn is detachably connected to the housing. At least one processor is configured to read a programmable chip. The programmable chip stores a set of parameters for at least one of the cartridge, the jaw, or the welding horn.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: ABB SCHWEIZ AGInventors: Matthew Hetrich, Jonah Kadoko, Sheng Zhong, Daniel Pierce Armstrong

Patent number: 11960514Abstract: A method of generating content in association with an information search and retrieval system. It begins by receiving a query from a user. The query is semantically-searched to identify a context. A conversation history between the user and the system is identified. An enriched query is then generated by associating to the query both the context and at least a portion of the conversation history. The enriched query is then evaluated/processed by a generative-AI. In response, information associated with the enriched query is received from the generative-AI. A response to the query is then generated using the information, e.g., by passing the information back to the user, by modifying (e.g., editing or supplementing) the information to generate modified information and passing the modified information back to the user, or by dismissing the information. If sensitive information is identified in the utterance, it is masked prior to generating the enriched query.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Drift.com, Inc.Inventors: Matt Taylert, Bernard Ngombi Kiyanda, Maria C. Moya, Joseph S. Demple, Matthew Pierce

Patent number: 11204025Abstract: A multi-stage gas compression system useful at the production site and at central collection points, having an energy efficient and effective intercooler system. The system includes a reciprocating compressor having a plurality of compressor valves and cylinders configured in series to provide staged compression to the natural gas. Coupled with the compressor are an inlet port for receiving natural gas to be compressed, and an outlet port for delivering compressed fluid from the compressor to a discharge line, to the transmission pipeline or storage. Facilitating transmission and intercooling of the natural gas between cylinders are a plurality of pipes, each pipe in close proximity with an intercooler.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: PC3 TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventor: Matthew Pierce

Publication number: 20210291012Abstract: An exercise machine platform that allows for emulation of the natural movements of real-world modes of transportation in stationary exercise machines such as bicycles, rowing machines, elliptical machines, and treadmills. The exercise machine platform comprises a base with one or more powered lifting mechanisms, a frame supported by the lifting mechanisms of the base which allows for roll, pitch, and/or vertical displacement movements, and a rocker plate supported by the frame that allows for additional independent movement from the roll, pitch, and/or vertical displacement movements of the frame. A dampening system controls the additional independent movement between the frame and rocker plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventors: Coleman Fung, Tiffany Tao, Matthew Pierce Kanter

Patent number: 9447763Abstract: An adjustable air-powered starter motor that provides a plurality of different operational configurations. The air-powered starter motor includes a motor housing assembly that houses at least a portion of a rotary actuator assembly, and which may be connected to a cover assembly. The motor housing may be selectively attached to a mounting structure along first or second sides of the motor housing. Additionally, the motor housing may be attached to the mounting structure at a plurality of different angular orientations. The motor housing further includes an air inlet having first and second air inlet ports that are positioned on opposite sides of the motor housing, and an air outlet port that is positioned along a lateral axis that is generally parallel to, and offset from, a lateral axis of the inlet port. A mounting pin may align and interconnect the motor housing and rotary actuator assembly at each operational configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: Ingersoll-Rand CompanyInventors: David Eichenberger, Michael Bookhout, Matthew Pierce, Brian Tietze

Patent number: 7378797Abstract: Fluorescent lamps that comprise a glass envelope with an exterior surface and first and second electrodes located within the glass envelope include a transparent electrically conductive material affixed to the exterior surface of the glass envelope. The transparent electrically conductive material extends between the vicinity of the first electrode and the vicinity of the second electrode, thereby providing a path for an electric current to pass between the first and second electrodes and reduce the open circuit voltage required to start the fluorescent lamp. The transparent electrically conductive material affixed to the exterior surface of the glass envelope can comprise one or more stripes of the material so that less than the total exterior surface area of the glass envelope is covered by the transparent electrically conductive material.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2005Date of Patent: May 27, 2008Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Evan Karrs, William W. Beers, Matthew Pierce, Gary R. Allen
