Patent number: 9864778Abstract: Described are techniques to provide event data to users. Event data corresponding to one or more events may be received from a first device. Availability data corresponding to availability of a user regarding events may be received from a second device. The event data that corresponds to at least a portion of user data associated with the second device may be determined, and at least a portion of the event data is provided to the second device. Rating data acquired or generated by a device present at the event location may be used to adjust a rating metric associated with the event.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: William Alexander Strand, Samuel Appelbaum, Raphael Hsieh, James Ronald Spencer, II

Publication number: 20110308807Abstract: A method for controlling a subsea valve assembly includes connecting a subsea riser between a wellhead and a surface vessel. An in-riser control unit is attached to a wired pipe string and disposed within the subsea riser, resulting in the in-riser control unit being deployed in-riser. The wired pipe string is connected to a surface control unit and a communication signal is transmitted through the wired pipe string between the surface control unit and the in-riser control unit to control the subsea valve assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2011Publication date: December 22, 2011Applicant: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventor: Ronald Spencer

Publication number: 20070272424Abstract: An animal deterrent system to be placed on structures such as electrical apparatus to deter and protect birds, wildlife and other animals. Specifically, a perching deterrent having a saddle made to fit over any desired member of a structure and deterrent extensions may be used separately or in combination. The deterrent extensions may protrude in various configurations from the above-mentioned saddle to inhibit, deter, or insulate animals contacting structures. Also possible is an insulator cap with spiral conductor covers.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2007Publication date: November 29, 2007Inventor: Ronald Spencer

Publication number: 20060067799Abstract: An apparatus for repairing a pair of non-conforming bushings on the M89E1 Declutching Ammo feeder for the M197 machine gun. The apparatus includes a central body and a pair of large drill plates which allows a user to drill out the non-conforming bushings from the ammo feeder. The user then press fits replacement bushings into the ammo feeder. The apparatus also includes a pair of small drill plates which allows the user to drills pin mounting holes into the replacement bushings.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2004Publication date: March 30, 2006Inventors: Wendell Kister, Gregory Brodbeck, Ronald Spencer

Publication number: 20060012439Abstract: A phase detector detects a phase difference between a first and second signal received by a phase detector. A charge is supplied by a charge pump circuit that corresponds to the phase difference using a phase difference to charge conversion that is substantially linear and nonzero in a phase error region that includes a phase error transition region around a phase error of zero having both negative and positive phase error values. Dual determinations, q1 and q2, offset from each other are made, of an appropriate charge for a given phase error between the first and second signals. The charge pump supplies as the total charge pump output a charge value representing a combination of q1 and q2, thereby providing a phase error to charge conversion that is substantially linear in the phase error transition region around zero.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2005Publication date: January 19, 2006Inventors: Axel Thomsen, Ronald Spencer

Publication number: 20020157707Abstract: There is a valve assembly for controlling the admission of a fluid such as air into a vehicle tyre or other pressure vessel. The assembly includes a housing (1) with a valve assembly (10) movable therein by a predetermined pressure in said vessel against a spring 5A. The valve member (10) is movable from a first position at which ports (14) of an inlet passage (13) in the housing (1) are open to fluid flow into the vessel to a second position at which the ports (14) are closed by the valve member (10). In use of the valve assembly when the valve member (10) is biased to the first position by the spring 5A the fluid can flow into the vessel until pressure therein reaches the predetermined pressure and the valve member (10) is moved to the second position to terminate flow into the vessel. The valve assembly also includes a low pressure indicating means comprising a transparent cap 3A with an opaque band (23) and a collar (8) movable with the valve member (10).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2001Publication date: October 31, 2002Inventor: Ronald Spencer Sampson

Patent number: 6423955Abstract: A method and apparatus for dielectric drying is disclosed wherein a load to be heated positioned on a carrier the bottom of which provides a secondary electrode is moved with the carrier a dielectric heating chamber having a primary electrode positioned above load when said load on said carrier is moved into an operative position in the chamber. The carrier and load are elevated into heating position and this movement simultaneously connects the secondary electrode to ground, so that when high frequency power is applied to the primary electrode the circuit is made to dielectrically heat the load.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2001Date of Patent: July 23, 2002Assignee: Heatwave Technologies Inc.Inventors: Glenn Craig Blaker, Terry Albert Enegren, Yiu Kwan (Eugene) Ho, Scott Ronald Spencer
