Patent number: 11719249Abstract: A system for controlling thermal comfort in a space is provided with variable mode of operation. This system may include a conditioner for conditioning air in the space, and a sensor for measuring a temperature in the space. A controller is provided for controlling the conditioner based on the temperature sensed by the sensor, and a fan for circulating air within the space is regulated based on the temperature sensed by the sensor. A related system for controlling a fan based on height is also provided, as is a system and method for easily and efficiently determining the height of a fan using a simple camera, such as one on a “smart” phone. A further aspect pertains to a controller, such as for example a portable handheld device, having a user interface adapted for suggesting an increase in a set point temperature of a thermostat based on the selected speed of the fan.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2020Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: DELTA T, LLCInventors: Jerrill Scott Johnson, Alex Christopher Reed, Marcus Landon Borders, Thomas James Lesser, Jason Hunt Fizer, Adam Glenn Tucker, Stephen Alexander Harper, Ernest John Noble, Ken Siong Tan, Jon Jet Ling, Seng Rui Chan

Patent number: 11371528Abstract: A ceiling fan includes a hub adapted to be rotated, such as by an onboard motor in a low-profile motor housing. One or more fan blades are adapted to extend radially from the hub. At least one magnet is provided for coupling at least one fan blade to the hub. A hinge may connect the at least one fan blade to the hub, and may be located radially outwardly of overlapping portions of the fan blade and hub. In this manner, the blade may be adapted to extend radially from the hub when deployed and generally vertically when stowed, but in a deployed configuration, the radial extension overlies and contacts at least a portion of the fan blade along an overlapping region, but does not contact the portion of the at least one stowable fan blade when stowed. Related methods are also described.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: DELTA T, LLCInventors: Ernest John Noble, Ken Siong Tan, Muhammad Yusuf Bin Musa

Patent number: 11336163Abstract: An apparatus is provided for forming an axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motor. The apparatus includes a stator assembly including a plurality of stator poles spaced about a stator shaft, each comprising a winding. Adjacent pairs of stator poles have a spacing in a circumferential direction approximately equal to or greater than a width of the stator pole. A rotor assembly includes a plurality of rotor poles of alternating magnetic polarity arranged for electrically communicating with the windings of the stator assembly. The ratio of stator poles to rotor poles may be less than 4:6 or, more specifically, less than or equal to about 1:2.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2016Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: DELTA T, LLCInventors: Ernest John Noble, Ken Siong Tan

Patent number: 10929969Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatus, systems and methods of measuring the weight and distribution of the fluff pulp and super absorbent polymer (SAP) or absorbent gelling material (AGM) of absorbent articles. The apparatus may be located at a position after the absorbent cores are formed. Each absorbent article is passed between the light emitter and the camera as well as between the radio transmitter and the radio detector. The camera and radio detector receive the signal transmitted by the light emitter and the radio transmitter respectively through the absorbent articles. The encoder synchronizes the transmission of data by the camera and the radio receiver to the movement of the web. The computer receives the signal data from radio detector and the image data from the camera from each absorbent article and uses the data to determine at least the weight of the fluff pulp and SAP/AGM in the absorbent core.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2016Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: AccuSentry, Inc.Inventors: Wei Siong Tan, Stephen Wachtel, Tjendera Santoso, Patrick Lizana, David Kosen

Patent number: 8161120Abstract: A method of populating a collaborative workspace based on an electronic message is disclosed herein. An embodiment of the present invention is operative to post-process an outgoing email after being assigned to a workspace. Further, a message identifier is computed to uniquely identify the e-mail and then the method identifies and obtains core elements of workspace, namely, members, discussion, files, events and their relationships before populating these elements into the workspace data stores for subsequent contextual search and navigation. The outgoing e-mail is also annotated to encapsulate additional information. The described embodiment also suggests pre-processing incoming emails to exploit the annotation to append a Context-bar to allow quick and direct access to the contextual workspaces associated with the email. A system for providing a collaborative workspace is also suggested.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2005Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Third Sight Pte. Ltd.Inventor: Eng Siong Tan
