Murray B. Wells has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Cable barrier system for use with cable barrier management system including turnbuckle subsystem, and method
    Patent number: 11939733
    Abstract: A cable barrier system is managed by a cable barrier management system including a management system controller having a management processor and a plurality of turnbuckle subsystems joined to respective barrier cables to provide pretension. Each of the turnbuckle subsystems has a strain gauge mounting zone, and strain is communicated from a strain gauge circuit to the management processor. The controller is configured to determine excess strain events. Strain event data is sent via a wireless data communications interface to a remote recipient computing device.
    Type: Grant

  • Cable barrier system for use with cable barrier management system including turnbuckle subsystem, and method
    Patent number: 10982399
    Abstract: A cable barrier system is managed by a cable barrier management system including a management system controller having a management processor, a wireless data communications interface, and a plurality of turnbuckle subsystems configured to be joined to respective barrier cables to provide pretension. Each of the turnbuckle subsystems has a strain gauge mounting zone and is configured to enable communication of strain from a strain gauge circuit to the management processor. The management system controller includes a sensing circuit to receive the strain gauge output voltage from the strain gauge circuit and provide sensing circuit output to the management processor. The management system controller includes a cable barrier analysis module configured to determine excess strain events. The management processor generates strain event data, which is sent via the wireless data communications interface to a remote recipient computing device.
