Patent number: 11945069Abstract: A novel turbine motor spindle assembly for a spindle-mounted pneumatic tool, especially in a live tool environment is described. The novel turbine motor spindle assembly includes a manifold with a front end and a rear end. The manifold includes an air intake passage for receiving pressurized air. The pressurized air is directed axially through a drive shaft rotatably coupled to the front end. The pressurized air drives a turbine motor assembly and a drive shaft. The drive shaft is mounted inside a housing is self-lubricating. The turbine motor assembly includes tangential openings for expelling exhaust air therefrom. The turbine motor housing is mechanically coupled to the front end of the manifold with an exhaust air passage for directing exhaust air from the one or more tangential openings out through the rear end of the manifold.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Air Turbine Technology, Inc.Inventors: Kemma Samuel Dodds, David William Tripp, Ronald Maharaj

Patent number: 8263846Abstract: An improved percussive instrument such as a marimba employs a resonator comprising an external tube (100), an inner or virtual extender tube (115), and a bottom stop (105) and a plug (110) within the outer tube. The region between the external tube and the virtual extender tube defines a volume of air (116). The size, shape, and length of the virtual extender tube enhances performance of the resonator and thereby also the instrument. A key (800) of the instrument is suspended by pivots (805) above the plug and the opening (120) of the resonator. When struck by a mallet (810), the key vibrates and air driven by the key enters the resonator through the opening. When the resonator and key are tuned to the same frequency, or a harmonic thereof, air will enter and leave the resonator in a resonant fashion, creating louder and richer sounds than just the key alone. Numerous variations on shape and location of the various components are possible.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2010Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Marimba One, Inc.Inventors: Stephen J. Cole, Ronald Samuels, Joshua D. Stumpf

Patent number: 8135687Abstract: An attribute rule enforcer evaluates the attributes of a call to add, modify, or delete information in a directory, such as a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) directory. The attribute rule enforcer determines if the attributes of the call comply with predetermined rules governing the directory's content. The directory attribute rule enforcer may be located at the front end of the directory's access server, and intercepts calls to the directory access server. If the directory attribute rule enforcer determines that the attributes of a call complies with the rules governing the content of the directory, it will forward the call to the directory's access server for action. If, on the other hand, the directory attribute rule enforcer determines that the attributes of a call do not comply with the rules governing the content of the directory, the attribute rule enforcer will reject the call. Further, it may forward an appropriate error message to the source of the call.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2010Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Ronald Samuel Barchi, Jeffrey P.

Patent number: 7516083Abstract: Disclosed are methods of and apparatus for analyzing projected future inventory against inventory budgets to determine open-to-buy inventory values. Inventory budgets are set, then demand is projected and some or all of notional deliveries, sales and inventory are simulated at the item level, capturing the interaction of inventory and sales. Analytic reports are generated that compare open to buy values and inventory budgets. The reports may indicate lost sales and may segregate saleable inventory from component inventory.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2001Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Bluefire Systems, Inc.Inventors: Robert E.
