Publication number: 20180156488Abstract: The present invention allows for a combination valve in a hydronic HVAC system that functions as an isolation valve; a check valve; and as a device for measuring fluid parameters, such as flow rate, pressure, and/or temperature, and also allows for the isolation valve to be configured in the field to be mounted either in a straight 180° or an angled 90° orientation, as well as at an intermediate angle. The new combination of isolation valve, check valve, with embedded sensors for flow rate, pressure, and/or temperature measurement provides a more compact product envelope that achieves space savings, e.g., by eliminating the need for separate components in an HVAC system, such as separate isolation valves, check valves, flow meters, pressure gages, and/or thermometers.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2017Publication date: June 7, 2018Inventors: Stanley Paul EVANS, Mrinalini LITORIYA, Mahesh NAIR, Florin ROSCA, Deep TRAMBADIA, Amitkumar WELEKAR

Publication number: 20180128387Abstract: A contoured check valve disc features a pivot portion and a check valve portion. The check valve portion is attached to the pivot portion, and has two sides, a first side to respond to the fluid flow in a first direction and move the check valve portion away from a fluid opening to the one or more open positions depending on the fluid flow to allow the fluid to flow through the fluid opening, and a second and opposing side to respond to fluid flow in an opposite direction through the fluid opening and move the check valve portion towards the fluid opening to the closed position to seal the fluid opening and stop fluid flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2017Publication date: May 10, 2018Inventors: Mikhail STRONGIN, Mrinalini LITORIYA, Mahesh NAIR, Stanley Paul EVANS, Florin ROSCA

Publication number: 20170367526Abstract: Coffee makers with features for rapid and/or multiple extraction processes, and associated systems and methods. A representative system includes a brew chamber, a coffee chamber, a filter device, and an accelerated extraction device configured to accelerate a flow of coffee from the brew chamber to the coffee chamber. During a first brewing process, a controller directs a first volume of hot water into the brew chamber to form a first a volume of coffee for delivery from the brew chamber into the coffee chamber. During a second brewing process, the controller directs a second volume of hot water into the brew to form a second volume of coffee for delivery into the coffee chamber to mix with the first volume of coffee. The controller activates the accelerated extraction device to move at least one of the first and second volumes of coffee.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2017Publication date: December 28, 2017Inventors: Joshua Lewis Avins, Eli Salomon, Paul Evan Loftness, Randy C.

Patent number: 9774742Abstract: A method of recording media transmitted to or from a first party communicating through one of a plurality of mobile telecommunications networks with a second party is described. Either the first party or the second party initiates a call with the other party. One of a set of call splitters distributed through the plurality of telecommunications networks is then determined to be a local call splitter to one of the parties. A connection is then established between the first party and the local call splitter to split the call into a recording part and a call part. The call part is routed between the first party and the second party via the call splitter to provide transmission of media between the first party and the second party, and the recording part is provided by the local call splitter to a recording service associated with the first party.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2015Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: Truphone LimitedInventors: James Tagg, Timothy Paul Evans, Igor Borisoglebski, James Edward Body, Edward Thomas Guy, III

Publication number: 20170194995Abstract: A method of managing identities for use in a mobile telecommunications device in a telecommunications network is described. First of all, an identity management process is triggered. After this, one or more parameters associated with the mobile telecommunications device is detected. The identity management process than has the following features. An identity management rule determined by the one or more parameters is detected. An identity database is then searched. Each record of the identity database comprises an identity and additional identity information for each identity, wherein the searching prioritises records according to the identity management rule. An identity is then selected when a record conforming to the identity management rule is found in said searching. The active identity of the mobile telecommunications device is then changed to be the selected identity when the active identity is not already the selected identity.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2016Publication date: July 6, 2017Inventors: Timothy Paul Evans, Alistair James Campbell, James Tagg

Publication number: 20170150435Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for managing the automatic provision of a subscriber network identifier from a central network server to a subscribed communication device, the method comprising receiving notification at the central server relating to a change in the current location for the subscribed device, and determining from the notification whether a new subscriber network identifier is to be provisioned from the central server. The method further comprises selecting a subscriber network identifier on the basis of the current location, if the determining step has determined that a new subscriber network identifier is to be provisioned, and outputting the selected subscriber network identifier for transmission to the subscribed device. The present invention also relates to managing the automatic connection of a subscribed communication device to a network, where a preferred network and preferred subscriber network identifier may be used.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2017Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventors: James Peter Tagg, Edward Thomas Guy, III, Timothy Paul Evans, Robert Snijder, Igor Borisoglebski, Alistair James Campbell, Claudio Sequeira

Patent number: 9461510Abstract: A 2-pole machine arrangement (10) has a stator (100) with windings (101) in conventional form, wound either in a single phase or three phase configuration. The rotor is formed of stacked laminations. The laminations include rotor pole pieces (107) located between the two magnetic poles. Each pole is formed by a pair of (embedded) permanent magnets (103), angularly spaced-apart by inter-magnet segments (106). The rotor pole pieces (107) include a series of evenly-spaced slots (109) and a central void (108). The slots (109) are of various lengths to direct the flux from the magnets (103) into the air gap (121) at a desired angle normal to the rotor surface. The slots 109 may be varied in width and angle to achieve the desired lowest waveform distortion under load and the highest air gap flux. The slots (109) also contribute to changing the saliency of the rotor.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2012Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: RADIAL FLUX LABORATORIES PTY LTDInventor: Paul Evan Lillington
