Publication number: 20240122484Abstract: Exemplified methods and systems facilitate presentation of data derived from measurements of the heart in a non-invasive procedure (e.g., via phase space tomography analysis). In particular, the exemplified methods and systems facilitate presentation of such measurements in a graphical user interface, or “GUI” (e.g., associated with a healthcare provider web portal to be used by physicians, researchers, or patients, and etc.) and/or in a report for diagnosis of heart pathologies and disease. The presentation facilitates a unified and intuitive visualization that includes three-dimensional visualizations and two-dimensional visualizations that are concurrently presented within a single interactive interface and/or report.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Ian Shadforth, Meng Lei, Timothy Burton, Don Crawford, Sunny Gupta, Paul Douglas Souza, Cody James Wackerman, Andrew Hugh Dubberly

Patent number: 11493156Abstract: A union connection common in connecting pipelines in various industries comprises a threaded female pipe end, a male pipe end insertable into the female pipe end to form a sealed connection, a plurality of shaped ring segments and a threaded collar in which the shaped ring segments are placed in a shaped groove on the male pipe and positioned in the threaded collar. The threaded female pipe end is then threaded onto the threaded collar, the threads each being clocked so as to press the collar against the male pipe using the ring segments and into a sealed connection with the female pipe. A pin inserted through a pin hole in the collar and into a pin recess in the female pipe end holds the parts in place. The pin hole and pin recess are positioned relative to the clocked threads of the collar and female pipe.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Inventor: Paul Crawford

Patent number: 11353125Abstract: The invention comprises a flapper check valve assembly in which a flapper coated with an elastomeric seal is pivotably attached to a swing arm, and further in which the swing arm is pivotably attached to a retainer ring permitting two degrees of freedom of motion. The retainer ring is mounted in a check valve body. A novel mounting of the flapper to the swing arm ensures the flapper seals the pipeline against backflow.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Inventor: Paul Crawford

Patent number: 11305173Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system for sensor-based objective determination. In general, sensor data may be used to render objective determinations that were not previously possible due to the unavoidable subjectivity of human-based officiating systems. For example, at least one device may be configured to make objective determinations during the course of a sporting event. Data collection circuitry may receive data from sensor devices coupled to players, equipment, playing surfaces, etc. Data analysis circuitry may categorize the data and input the data into a model to determine if an infraction occurred. For example, categorization may involve determining a type of infraction that may have occurred based on the sensor data. The model may then be selected based on the type of infraction, the model being developed utilizing prior sensor data, rules for the sporting event, etc. Output circuitry may generate a notification based on the infraction determination.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2020Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Richard Paul Crawford, David I.

Publication number: 20200384685Abstract: A method and apparatus of additive manufacturing is provided, along with a 3D printed product, in which 3D printing is implemented axially, according to a cylindrical coordinate system based on the cylindrical axis of shaft. A shaft is provided as a build base. A layer of additive material is deposited onto the surface of the shaft in rows having axial coordinates in an axial direction of the cylindrical axis. Each of the rows are separated from each other by azimuthal coordinates representing angles of rotation around the cylindrical axis. Radial coordinates are displaced from the cylindrical axis such that subsequent layers are similarly deposited atop radially underlying layers, where the layers are separated by layer thicknesses represented by respective radial coordinates. The shaft is supported by a rotating chuck and an extruder is supported by carriages movable in the axial and radial directions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2020Publication date: December 10, 2020Inventor: Paul.
