Patent number: 11979098Abstract: At least some embodiments of the present disclosure direct to an electrostatic sheet jamming apparatus comprising a first sheet comprising a first conductive layer, the first sheet comprising a set of first features, a first dielectric layer, and a second sheet comprising a second conductive layer and disposed proximate to the first dielectric layer, the second sheet comprising a set of second features. The first dielectric layer is disposed between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The first sheet and the second sheet are non-extensible and flexible. The first sheet and the second sheet are movable relative to each other in a first state. The first sheet and the second sheet are jammed with each other in a second state when a voltage is applied between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2019Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Thomas R. Corrigan, David J. Rowe, Andrew H. Tilstra, Michael Patrick M. Mandanas

Patent number: 11978001Abstract: A system to provide an automated data driven risk relationship review tool via a back-end application computer server of an enterprise. A resource allocation data store may contain electronic records representing requested resource allocations between the enterprise and a plurality of entities. The server may receive an indication of a selected requested resource allocation and retrieve, from the resource allocation data store, the electronic record associated with the selected requested resource allocation. The server may automatically calculate a first and second review date for the selected requested resource allocation and automatically establish, between at least two parties, a communication link based on the calculation of the first review date for the selected requested resource allocation.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2023Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: HARTFORD FIRE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Erik R.

Patent number: 6708195Abstract: In a multi-user environment, a method of controlling access to objects is required, such that updates performed by one user are not overwritten by simultaneous updates by another user. There is provided a method of controlling access to objects and containers, each representing a group of objects, in a multi-user environment whereby lock states of the objects and lock states of the containers are stored in a computer system, said method comprising the steps of: accepting a request for access to an object or a container; deciding access based on the lock state for that object or container, the lock state of a container if the request is for an object contained within that container, and the lock state of objects grouped within a container if the request is for a container object; and sending a message to the requester granting or denying access to said object or container object. Updates performed by one user on an object or a container are not overwritten by simultaneous updates by another user.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1999Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Samuel David Borman, Kevin Patrick Corrigan, Dale Robinson Hewitt

Patent number: 5801818Abstract: A measuring system includes a first circuit that produces a first signal. A transmission line has a first end and a second end where the first end is interconnected with the first circuit so as to receive the first signal. A second circuit is remotely located from the first end of the transmission line and interconnected with the second end of the transmission line so as to detect the first signal. The second circuit in response to detecting the first signal produces a second signal that is received by the second end of the transmission line. The first circuit detects the second signal and in response determines the length of the transmission line. The first signal and the second signal preferably have different frequencies and the transmission line is preferably a fiber optic cable.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1997Date of Patent: September 1, 1998Assignee: ActiFlex CorporationInventors: Patrick Corrigan, Ulrich Hugel

Patent number: 4176055Abstract: A rotary air classifier for separating light material from a mixture of heavy and light material, or for separating large particles from small particles in a single material or a mixture of materials, such as in the sorting of municipal garbage, in which a tapered, e.g. frusto-conical, vessel is mounted about an axis, so that the lower surface of the vessel slopes downwardly towards the open lower end. Air is caused to spiral from the open lower end to the open upper end and takes with it the ligher fraction of material to be classified. The heavy articles slide or roll downwardly out of the open lower end.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 1977Date of Patent: November 27, 1979Assignee: Newell Dunford Engineering LimitedInventor: Patrick Corrigan
