Publication number: 20240149454Abstract: Techniques for controlling a process to prevent injury are presented. The techniques include obtaining a location estimation of a mobile transmitter affixed to an object, where the location estimation is relative to a location of a fixed receiver, and where the obtaining the location estimation includes sending an ultra wideband communication from the mobile transmitter to the fixed receiver and acquiring the ultra wideband communication by a phased antenna array of the fixed receiver; assessing, based on the location estimation, that the mobile transmitter is within an impermissible location; determining that the location estimation is sufficiently accurate based on a distance between the location estimation and the fixed receiver; and interrupting the process upon both assessing that the mobile transmitter is within an impermissible location and determining that the location estimation is sufficiently accurate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Michael Francis MITCHELL, John Dalton WILLIAMS, Fei CAI, Farahnaz SISCO

Patent number: 10659660Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing printed images are provided. One system includes a processing circuit configured to: determine a set of one or more locations on the printed image on the substrate to measure color values; determine a set of input tone values for the at least one ink; receive a set of measured color values corresponding to the set of locations on the printed image from a sensor; and determine a tone value increase error based on the set of measured color values and the set of input tone values. The at least one processing circuit is configured to determine the tone value increase error without requiring measured color values from an area having solid ink.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: BALDWIN AMERICAS CORPORATIONInventors: Patrick Noffke, John Seymour, Michael Sisco

Patent number: 9862181Abstract: A computer-implemented system for determining ink availability in one or more ink reservoirs in a print system is described. The system includes at least one ink reservoir for each color ink used in the printing system, a print unit associated with each ink reservoir configured to apply a print image including at least one color of ink to a substrate based on print image information, and an ink level monitoring system configured to determine an ink availability in each ink reservoir based on printed image count information including a number of printings of the print image and a total wet ink utilization generated based on a characterization of a print condition and further based on a measured dry ink utilization per area of coverage using the print image information and corrected by an ink usage correction multiplier.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2016Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: QuadTech, Inc.Inventors: Carlo Carnelli, John Seymour, Michael Sisco
