Publication number: 20220113157Abstract: A system is provided for guiding a driver of a tractor trailer truck entering a loading bay for proper alignment of the loading hatch in the top of a transport tank carried on the trailer. The system includes a display screen disposed on the driver side of the loading bay and angled toward the loading bay so as to remain in continuous uninterrupted view of the driver as the truck is entering the loading bay. A front sensor is disposed to a first side of the loading bay, and a rear sensor spaced apart from the front sensor is disposed along the same side of the loading bay. A controller is connected electrically to the front sensor, the rear sensor, and the display screen. A camera has a field of view aimed between the front sensor and the rear sensor where the loading hatch of the transport tank will be disposed when the transport tank is properly aligned in the loading bay for taking on cargo.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2021Publication date: April 14, 2022Inventors: ELLIE H. MACDONALD, MICHAEL URBAN, III, SHAWN C. MIZELL

Patent number: 11023963Abstract: A system and method for detecting compromise of financial transaction instruments associated with a merchant or automated teller machine (ATM) are disclosed. Historical data representing a historical aggregate financial transaction instrument behavior history is stored in a computer memory. The historical data is received at the computer from one or more merchants and ATMs via a communications network. Authorization data representing authorization behavior of a plurality of financial transaction cards related to corresponding financial transactions at the same or a different one or more merchants and ATMs is received by the computer. Abnormal activity data representing an abnormal aggregate financial transaction instrument activity based on the authorization data is determined, and the historical data is compared with the abnormal activity data to generate a compromise profile for the plurality of financial transaction instruments.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: FAIR ISAAC CORPORATIONInventors: Scott Michael Zoldi, Michael Urban

Patent number: 8484944Abstract: A method and aerodynamic device for modifying at least one vane of a cascade thrust reverser. One or more of the aerodynamic devices may be formed and attached to forward-facing surfaces of vanes of the thrust reverser. The aerodynamic device may include a first side shaped to rest flush against at least a portion of the forward-facing surface of the vane, a second side opposite of the first side, a ledge portion protruding from the first side and configured to rest flush against a blunt leading edge of the vane, a rounded first end portion extending from the ledge portion to the second side of the aerodynamic device, and a second end opposite of the first end portion at which the first side and the second side converge. The aerodynamic device changes the size and contour of airflow channels between the vanes, increase the efficiency of the thrust reverser.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2010Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Spirit AeroSystems, Inc.Inventors: Michael Urban, Henry A.
