Patent number: 11933100Abstract: Thermally broken fenestration systems are provided that improve performance characteristics or combinations thereof, including strength and thermal conductivity. Embodiments disclosed include one or more fenestration frame assemblies, each having an interior frame member and an exterior frame member. The interior frame members and exterior frame members are coupled together via a plurality of bridges distributed along the length of the respective fenestration frame assembly. The bridges provide structural rigidity, while providing a plurality of air gaps between interior frame member and the exterior frame member to provide a thermal break.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: REHME CUSTOM DOORS & LIGHTING, INC.Inventors: Peter James Rehme, Aaron Hawkins, Mark Joseph Rehme

Publication number: 20220222526Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for generating, training, and tailoring deep-learning models. The present methods and systems may provide a generalized framework for using deep-learning models to analyze data records comprising one or more strings (e.g., sequences) of data. Unlike existing deep-learning models and frameworks, which are designed to be problem/analysis specific, the generalized framework described herein may be applicable for a wide range of predictive and/or generative data analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2022Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: PETER HAWKINS, WEN ZHANG, GURINDER ATWAL

Patent number: 10058663Abstract: A breathing assistance system is provided for delivering a stream flow of heated, humidified gases to a user. The system includes a humidifier unit which holds and heats a volume of water, and which in use receives a flow of gases from a gases source via an inlet port. The flow of gases passes through the humidifier and exits via an exit port. The system further includes a temperature sensor which measures the temperature of the gases exiting the humidifier unit, an ambient temperature sensor which measures the temperature of gases before they enter the humidifier unit, and a flow sensor which measures the flow rate of the gases stream. The system also includes a controller which receives data from the temperature and flow sensors, and which determines a control output in response. The control output is configured to adjust the power to the humidifier unit to achieve a desired output at the humidifier unit exit port.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2013Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare LimitedInventors: Stanislav Tatkov, Christopher Malcolm Crone, Peter Hawkins, Jae Chul Han, Kevin Peter O'Donnell, Andrew Robert Donald Somervell

Patent number: 8272039Abstract: A hijack avoidance technique avoids presenting an access to more than one of a chain of authentication objects, such as a chain of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authenticators. A pre-filter determines whether an authentication object should be presented with the access by comparing either all or a portion of a domain suffix, an IP address, or other identification other than the user ID with predetermined values. If the filter criterion is met, the associated authentication object accepts or rejects the access. Otherwise, the access is passed to the next authentication object in the chain. The first authentication object may be associated with a hosting entity and successive authentication objects each associated with different customers of the hosting entity.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2008Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James S.

Patent number: 7822592Abstract: In an active system, an actor is able to effect action in a subject system. The actor and the subject system exist in an environment which can impact the subject system. Neither the actor nor the subject system has any control over the environment. The actor includes a model and a processor. The processor is guided by the model. The processor is arranged to effect action in the subject system. The subject system is known by the model. This allows the actor to be guided in its action on the subject system by the model of the subject system. Events can occur in the subject system either through the actions of the actor, as guided by the model, or through actions of other actors, or through a change in state of the subject system itself (e.g. the progression of a chemical reaction) or its environment (e.g. the passage of time). The actor keeps the model updated with its own actions.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2005Date of Patent: October 26, 2010Assignee: Manthatron-IP LimitedInventor: Peter Hawkins
