Patent number: 11798751Abstract: A metal contact of a residential circuit breaker with ordered ceramic microparticles is provided. The metal contact comprises an electrical contact material comprising a metal alloy and ceramic particles to form a metal matrix composite material. Both materials the metal alloy and the ceramic particles are present together as a metal compound but without forming an alloy. The metal compound is a matrix and reinforcement being the ceramic particles such that first the ceramic particles has a sintering step to get a homogeneous preform for the metal compound being porous with a controlled size obtained by pressing a particle size of about few micrometers of the ceramic particles and then a liquid metal infiltration step to provide a homogenous distribution of the metal alloy and the ceramic particles in a three-dimensional open porous arrangement and the homogenous distribution results in ordered microstructures.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Siemens Industry, Inc.Inventors: Roberto Carlos Hernandez Maya, Luis Miguel Franco Caballero, Francisco Franco Caballero

Publication number: 20180286000Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for identity management for first-party data. An identity management system can provide first identifiers and respective trait data associated with each first identifier to a data management platform. The data management platform can assign respective second identifiers to each of the first identifiers. The identity management system can receive third identifiers and corresponding personal identifiable information associated with each third identifier from an advertisement delivery system. Using the personal identifiable information from the advertisement delivery system and personal identifiable information collected by the identity management system, the identity management system can map each of the first identifiers to a respective one of the third identifiers to generate first identifier and third identifier pairs.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2017Publication date: October 4, 2018Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Michael Joseph Berry, JR., Miguel Franco, Matthew Teshera

Patent number: 9672995Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems are provided for a selectivity device for a circuit breaker. The invention includes a modular assembly adapted to be coupled to a load conductor assembly. The modular assembly includes a tripping plunger including a cam surface adapted to interact with a breaker tripping mechanism; an armature coupled to the tripping plunger; a yoke adapted to generate a magnetic field in response to an electric current in the load conductor assembly and disposed to apply a magnetic force proportionate to the electric current on the armature; and a spring assembly adapted to counter-balance the magnetic force up to a predefined tripping current in the load conductor assembly. Numerous additional aspects are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2012Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Justin Michael Cardwell, Luis Miguel Franco Caballero

Patent number: 9241744Abstract: Targeting assemblies for implanting a compression nail are disclosed. An exemplary targeting assembly may include first and second arms coupled by a connecting shaft. The first and second arms may either or both be operable to rotate about a longitudinal axis defined by the connecting shaft. In some embodiments, the use of the disclosed targeting assembly allows for reduced misalignment of the alignment holes in the arms during the implant process.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2012Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: AMEI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Stephen Blake, Miguel Franco, Dimitri Protopsaltis, Michael Thomas

Patent number: 8425512Abstract: A fixator system includes an active strut that that can be gradually or acutely adjusted. Adjustments can be made in six degrees of freedom. Embodiments of the active strut can provide for two of the six degrees of freedom being about a first common point of rotation, and another two of the six degrees of freedom being about a second common point of rotation. Embodiments of the fixator can include one or more active struts in combination with one or more passive struts. The passive struts can be rigidly locked or can be unlocked so as to be freely and acutely adjustable while gradual or acute adjustments are made using the one or more active struts.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2012Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: AMEI Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Paul Vasta, Miguel Franco, Michael Thomas
