  • Patent number: 12347612
    Abstract: A magnet includes a stack of a plurality of superconducting pancake wound coils having a stacking axis normal to a winding direction of the coils. The stack has axial ends and has a stack midplane relative to the stacking axis. A quench detector is provided for detecting a quench in the stack of superconducting pancake wound coils. A plurality of resistance quench heaters (RQH) are distributed symmetrically along the axis with respect to the stack midplane. Control circuitry is provided for controlling the operation of the RQH upon the detection of a quench by the quench detector. A method of quenching a magnet is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11250408
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides intelligent lighting control systems for adjusting a user interface on a mobile electronic device. A user input requested via the user interface to change a lighting state of one or more light emitting elements in a luminaire connected to a lighting control system communicably coupled to a server system is detected. A transaction identification (ID) code is generated on the mobile electronic device. A display of an icon displayed in the user interface is changed. The icon depicts a status of the one or more light emitting elements. The transaction identification code and a request to change the lighting state to be transmitted from the mobile electronic device to the server system. A change notification received by the server system is analyzed to determine if it includes the transaction ID code. The display state of the icon is either changed on maintained based on the analysis.

  • Patent number: 10857487
    Abstract: A sand trap for use in oil and gas extraction operations includes a cylindrical vessel for receiving a high-pressure fluid stream with particulates. The vessel has a vertical longitudinal axis and a hollow cylindrical wall having upper and lower ends and an inlet opening generally perpendicular to but askew to the vessel longitudinal axis. Upper and lower caps extend from the upper and lower ends and have openings along the vessel longitudinal axis. An annular diverter has top and bottom ends and a longitudinal axis coaxial with the vessel longitudinal axis. A diverter outer wall permanently extends from an inner face of the cylindrical wall, and a diverter inner wall has an upper portion narrowing to a choke area and a lower portion flaring out from the choke area. A vent pipe extends from the upper cap opening to a location between the upper cap and the diverter top end.

  • Patent number: 10697725
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for replacing a selector switch of lower receiver of a firearm, the method including the steps of: removing an ancillary portion of the selector switch; inserting a sear spring and sear deflector block into the lower receiver such that a hook portion and an end portion of the sear spring engage a sear and a portion of a sear spring to cause the sear and the portion of a sear spring to be disengaged from the selector switch; inserting a detent deflector button into a side of the lower receiver such a spring biased detent is depressed and the selector switch extends from an opposite side of the lower receiver; removing the selector switch; inserting a new selector switch into the opposite side of the lower receiver such that the detent deflector button is dislodged from the side of the lower receiver; removing the sear spring and sear deflector block; and securing the removing the ancillary portion or a new ancillary portion to the new selector switch.

  • Patent number: 9211891
    Abstract: In many vehicular control contexts, a vehicle may monitor the vehicle input control from a driver to detect warning conditions that entail a warning to the user and/or an automatic mitigating action (e.g., detecting hard braking that causes brake lockup, and automatically activating anti-lock braking). Warning and mitigation techniques may address the instant driving conditions, but may not the user driving behavior that caused the condition (e.g., a driving style of the user that resulted in hard braking, such as excessive speed for current driving conditions). Presented herein are techniques for monitoring the user driving behavior of the user in various driving contexts, and presenting driving suggestions of alternative driving behaviors providing advantages over the current user driving behavior of the user. The presentation of the alternative driving behaviors to the user may facilitate changes in user driving behavior that improve the safety, efficiency, and/or comfort of the driving experience.

  • Patent number: 9034562
    Abstract: Improved fidelity to an integrated circuit pattern design in a semiconductor structure ultimately produced is achieved by modeling material removal and deposition processes in regard to materials, reactant, feature size, feature density, process parameters and the like as well as the effects of such parameters on etch and material deposition bias due to microloading and RIE lag (including inverse RIE lag) and using the models to work backward through the intended manufacturing method steps, including hard mask pattern decomposition, to morphologically develop feature patterns for use in most or all process steps which will result in the desired feature sizes and shapes at the completion of the overall process. Modeling of processes may be simplified through use of process assist features to locally adjust rates of material deposition and removal.

  • Patent number: 8912924
    Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for authorizing an action using vehicle identification information (e.g., supplied by a vehicle) and user identification information (e.g., supplied by a mobile device associated with a user of the vehicle). Such an action may relate to, among other things, refueling the vehicle, parking the vehicle, using a fee-based road segment, and/or other vehicle-centric actions, for example. Moreover, in one embodiment, as part of the authorization, a payment transaction may be initiated by an authorization system configured to authorize the action.
