Patent number: 11741114Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for handling sequence-dependent data as part of processing and/or analyzing large data sets in a distributed data processing environment. The distributed data processing environment can be suitable for handling data generated at a plurality of sites within a network of manufacturing sites. The systems and methods can allow for pre-processing of some values for sequence-dependent data. This can allow secondary aggregated values and/or secondary aggregated data sets to be generated from sequence-dependent data that can span multiple blocks or partitions. Pre-calculation of secondary aggregated values and/or secondary aggregated data sets for sequence-dependent data can allow the efficiencies of parallel or distributed computation to be at least partially retained while also allowing for desired processing of the sequence-dependent data.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2018Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering CompanyInventors: Michael A. Hayes, Jeffrey Ludwig, Christopher S. Gurciullo, Terry J. Hayman, Krit H. Petty, Steven J. Seastream

Publication number: 20210261032Abstract: A control system for a dump truck or trailer having a telescoping hoist is disclosed. The control system includes an integrated electronic control unit which receives sensor information regarding at least a hydraulic pump, a power take-off, a first inclinometer and a second inclinometer and uses this information to send warning to a user display and to sends control information to at least a hydraulic fluid control valve and optionally other devices on the truck or trailer as well.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2020Publication date: August 26, 2021Applicant: Custom Hoists Inc.Inventors: Michael A. Hayes, Stephen T. Hamm, Richard N. Hiltunen, JR., Benjamin T. Humrichouser, Alan C. Nastasi, Ronald J. Dye

Patent number: 9493718Abstract: Hydrocarbon feeds can be hydrotreated in a continuous gas-phase environment and then dewaxed in a liquid-continuous reactor. The liquid-continuous reactor can advantageously be operated in a manner that avoids the need for a hydrogen recycle loop. A contaminant gas can be added to the hydrogen input for the liquid-continuous reactor to modify the hydrogen consumption in the reactor.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2011Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: EXXONMOBIL RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING COMPANYInventors: Richard C. Dougherty, Michael A. Hayes, Benjamin S. Umansky, William E. Lewis

Patent number: 9284144Abstract: A document validator includes a sensor, a transportation unit, an actuator, and a controller. The transportation unit is adjacent the sensor and has a document path, at least a portion of which has an adjustable path height. The transportation unit is configured to transport a document from a first location past the sensor to a second location. The actuator is operable to transition the adjustable path height between a first path height and a second path height different from the first path height. The controller is configured to automatically cause the actuator to transition the adjustable path height between the first path height and the second path height. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2014Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: Crane Payment Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Michael A. Hayes, Philippe Jard

Publication number: 20140174988Abstract: Methods are provided for producing low sulfur diesel fuels by performing multi-stage hydroprocessing at low pressure on a distillate feed. A feedstock suitable for forming a diesel fuel product is hydrotreated at a hydrogen partial pressure of 500 psig or less in at least two reaction stages. In order to provide improved desulfurization and/or aromatic saturation activity in the final stage, the stages are configured so that the highest hydrogen pressure and/or highest hydrogen purity are delivered to the last hydrotreatment stage.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2013Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: EXXONMOBIL RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING COMPANYInventors: Richard A. Demmin, Michael A. Hayes, Kenneth M. Lee

Patent number: 8647500Abstract: A mineral feed can be hydrotreated in a trickle-bed reactor or other stage in a continuous gas-phase environment. The effluent from the hydrotreatment stage can be separated to remove gas-phase impurities. The remaining liquid effluent from the hydrotreating stage can then be introduced, in total or in part, into a second stage/reactor. A feed of biocomponent origin can also be introduced into the second stage/reactor. The second stage/reactor can be operated to perform deoxygenation of the mixture of biocomponent feed and hydrotreated liquid effluent in a continuous liquid phase environment.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2011Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Richard C. Dougherty, Michael A. Hayes, Benjamin S. Umansky, William E. Lewis

Patent number: 8591726Abstract: A divided wall column can allow for fractionation of multiple streams while maintaining separate product qualities. Effluents from multiple stages of a reaction system can be processed in a single divided wall column. The divided wall column can produce multiple cuts from each separated area, as well as at least one output from a common area. At least one reaction stage can advantageously have a continuous liquid phase environment.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2011Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Benjamin S. Umansky, Richard C. Dougherty, Michael A. Hayes, William E. Lewis

Patent number: 8403897Abstract: A unitary biodegradable, absorbent flexible back and body strap for selectively applying a protective substance and a skin-protective agent to a user's body, the strap having an elongated thin parallelepiped midportion, a biconcave first gripping end, and an opposite biconcave second gripping end, each end having a tip narrower in width than the midportion. The midportion is impregnated with a protective substance, which may be a body lotion, sunscreen, insect repellant, or a combination of sunscreen and insect repellant. At least one protective agent layer may be disposed on a midportion top side, which contains a skin-protective agent. The user alternatingly pulls the first gripping end and the second end from side to side across the desired body portion to selectively apply the protective substance and the skin-protective agent discards the strap whereinafter the strap biodegrades.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2010Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Inventor: Michael A.
