Publication number: 20140379298Abstract: A system and methods for capturing the time and temperature at which a thermostat(s) in a home turns on and turns off, and then analyzing those times and temperatures at particular granularities to identify improvements in energy usage. These time and temperature data points are some of the information needed to determine two performance attributes in the home: the ramping time when the HVAC system is returning the home to the comfort setting (which is called herein the system on time), and the ramping time for the home to hit the next on cycle.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2014Publication date: December 25, 2014Inventor: Joel Stanley GILBERT

Publication number: 20060016696Abstract: This invention relates to a system and method for producing a metal powder product using conventional electrowinning chemistry (i.e., oxygen evolution at an anode) in a flow-through electrowinning cell. The present invention enables the production of high quality metal powders, including copper powder, from metal-containing solutions using conventional electrowinning processes and/or direct electrowinning.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2005Publication date: January 26, 2006Applicant: PHELPS DODGE CORPORATIONInventors: Antonioni Stevens, Stanley Gilbert, Scot Sandoval, Timothy Robinson, John Marsden

Publication number: 20060016684Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus for producing a metal powder product using either conventional electrowinning or alternative anode reaction chemistries in a flow-through electrowinning cell. A new design for a flow-through electrowinning cell that employs both flow-through anodes and flow-through cathodes is described. The present invention enables the production of high quality metal powders, including copper powder, from metal-containing solutions using conventional electrowinning processes, direct electrowinning, or alternative anode reaction chemistry.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2005Publication date: January 26, 2006Applicant: PHELPS DODGE CORPORATIONInventors: John Marsden, Scot Sandoval, Antonioni Stevens, Timothy Robinson, Stanley Gilbert

Publication number: 20050269209Abstract: The present invention relates, generally, to a method for electrowinning copper powder, and more particularly to a method for electrowinning copper powder from a copper-containing solution using the ferrous/ferric anode reaction. In accordance with various embodiments of the present invention, a process for producing copper powder by electrowinning employs alternative anode reaction technology, namely, the ferrous/ferric anode reaction, and enables the efficient and cost-effective production of copper powder at a total cell voltage of less than about 1.5 V and at current densities of greater than 50 A/ft2. A copper powder electrowinning process in accordance with the present invention also reduces or eliminates acid mist generation that is characteristic of electrowinning operations utilizing conventional electrowinning chemistry (e.g., oxygen evolution at the anode), which is advantageous.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2005Publication date: December 8, 2005Applicant: PHELPS DODGE CORPORATIONInventors: Scot Sandoval, Antonioni Stevens, Timothy Robinson, John Marsden, Stanley Gilbert

Patent number: 6698806Abstract: An elongated channel protector has an end wall that precludes axial displacement of the protector along an elongated rail car plug door operating handle in one direction. Angle shaped members extend from the protector laterally for engaging a cover appurtenance on the door for precluding axial displacement of the protector in the opposite direction. A pair of legs depend from the protector side walls and have aligned holes for receiving a bolt seal. Tubular elements surround the holes to protect the seal head and locking body. The seal is seated beneath the handle which is covered by the protector locking the protector to the handle.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2001Date of Patent: March 2, 2004Assignee: Transguard Industries, Inc.Inventors: Terrence N. Brammall, Craig B. Hamilton, Stanley Gilbert

Patent number: 6265973Abstract: A molded transparent thermoplastic housing has a programmable transmitting circuit for transmitting seal identifying serial number, seal location, container identification and other data to a local receiver. A door in the housing permits access to the circuit for programming the seal indicia and related data for transmission. A contact arrangement forms a switch upon insertion of a locking bolt into a locking mechanism in the housing and applies battery power through the bolt to activate the data generating circuit. A conductor along the bolt shank is connected to the circuit provides a tamper evident signal to the circuit when the bolt is severed. The circuit senses the removal of the bolt or severed bolt condition for generating a “tamper” signal which is transmitted to a local receiver/reader.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 1999Date of Patent: July 24, 2001Assignee: Transguard Industries, Inc.Inventors: Terrence N.
