Patent number: 9978395Abstract: A communication component modifies production of an audio waveform at determined modification segments to thereby mitigate the effects of a delay in processing and/or receiving a subsequent audio waveform. The audio waveform and/or data associated with the audio waveform are analyzed to identify the modification segments based on characteristics of the audio waveform and/or data associated therewith. The modification segments show where the production of the audio waveform may be modified without substantially affecting the clarity of the sound or audio. In one embodiment, the invention modifies the sound production at the identified modification segments to extend production time and thereby mitigate the effects of delay in receiving and/or processing a subsequent audio waveform for production.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: Vocollect, Inc.Inventors: Keith Braho, Russell A. Barr, George Joshue Karabin

Patent number: 8155791Abstract: Methods and systems for creating dynamic performance measures (DPMs) for an IBA manufacturing process. Included is a method for monitoring an Isobutyl Alcohol (IBA) recovery system that includes computing at least one of an amount of IBA recovered from the IBA recovery system and an amount of waste material produced from the IBA recovery system, and displaying at least one of the recovered IBA and the waste material produced based on time. The method also includes computing a cost saved based on a cost of virgin IBA and the amount of IBA recovered. Computing an amount of waste material includes measuring waste material flow, and computing a cost of waste material management based on the measured waste material flow and a cost per unit volume to dispose of waste material. The IBA recovery system can include an evaporation IBA recovery system and/or a distillation IBA recovery system.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2011Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Invensys Systems, Inc.Inventor: Russell Barr

Patent number: 8121612Abstract: Mobile units within an area are located using a wireless local area network. Reference signal transmitters are provided at selected fixed locations within the area. Reference signals are transmitted using the reference signal transmitters using a first selected channel of the wireless local area network. A computer is provided having a database relating signal characteristics of signals transmitted by the reference signal transmitters to location within the area At least one access point is coupled to the computer and provides wireless data communications between the computer and the mobile unit using one or more channels of the wireless data communications system that are different from the first data communications channel.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2008Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Symbol Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Thomas P. Lewis, Russell A. Barr
