  • Patent number: 11428365
    Abstract: The adjustable display track system comprises a track and a roller car. The adjustable display track system may be adapted to move a flat screen display that is coupled to the roller car along the track between a lowered position and a raised position. The adjustable display track system may be adapted to lower an elevation angle of the flat screen display as the roller car is raised such that the flat screen display continues to point towards a user. Motion of the roller car may be controlled remotely from a smart device.

  • Patent number: 9614927
    Abstract: Tools and techniques are provided to support presentation analytics, such as Flash or Flex analytics, independently of embedded JavaScript web analytics code used in web pages. A presentation analytics engine, which may be implemented in ActionScript, includes code for capturing information about user interaction with a multimedia presentation, code for dynamically generating a string or other data structure reflecting such captured information, and code for sending the data structure to an analytics server without using a getURL( ) call or embedded JavaScript. Functionality is also provided for tracking objects without object-specific code, for dynamically sending such tracking information, and for supporting a visual presentation analytics overlay report illustrating such information. The Flash presentation analytics may use the same visitor ID as standard JavaScript analytics, without synchronizing the two analytics codes.

  • Patent number: 6634214
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring the relative density of a gas. The apparatus includes a chamber to which a gas in question, for example natural gas, is supplied through an inlet and leaves through an outlet. The speed of sound SoS at ambient temperature is measured using any suitable method such as electronic control and a calculating device and an ultra-sound emitter and an ultra-sound receiver. The ambient temperature Ta is observed by a temperature sensor, and a thermal conductivity sensor measures the thermal conductivity of the gas at two different temperatures above the ambient temperature. One value ThCH of the thermal conductivity is measured at 70° C. above ambient and the other value ThCL of the thermal conductivity is measured at 50° C. above ambient. The control calculates the relative density RD of the gas according to the formula RD=g·ThCH+h·ThCL+i·SoS+j·Ta+k·.Ta2+l where (g, h, i, j, k and l) are constants.

  • Patent number: 6474137
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring the relative density of a gas, for example natural gas. The gas is supplied through an inlet to a chamber and is output through an outlet. Using a control and an ultra-sonic transducer emitter and an ultra-sonic transducer receiver, the speed of sound in the gas corrected to standard conditions is calculated. Then, the control operates to measure the relative density RD of the gas using the formula RD=a×SoSsc+b, where SoSsc is the speed of sound in the gas corrected to standard conditions, and a and b are constants.

  • Patent number: 6442996

The speed of sound SoS at ambient temperature is measured using any suitable method such as electronic control and a calculating device and an ultra-sound emitter and an ultra-sound receiver. The ambient temperatures Ta, is observed by a temperature sensor, and a thermal conductivity sensor measures the thermal conductivity of the gas at two different temperatures above the ambient temperature. One value ThCH, of the thermal conductivity is measured at 70° C. above ambient and the other value ThCL of the thermal conductivity is measured at 50° C. above ambient. The control calculates the calorific value CV of the gas according to the formula: CV=a·ThCH+b·ThCL+C·SoS+d·Ta+e·Ta2 +f, where a, b, c, d, e and f are constants.

  • Patent number: 6047589
    Abstract: An energy meter for measuring parameters of fuel gas. The meter has a gas inlet and outlet and a central tube along which the gas flows from inlet to outlet. Ultra-sound transducers and a control form a system whereby the speed of ultra-sound signals traveling through the gas between the transducers is measured and used in the control to calculate the volume of gas which is passed through the meter. The ultra-sound signals pass through apertures in the walls of chambers containing the transducers. Another ultra-sound transducer in the chamber which is connected to the control acts as an emitter and receiver of ultra-sound signals reflected by reflectors. These signals travel through the fuel gas in the chamber and their attenuation is observed and measured by the control when they are received by the transducer. The measured attenuation is used to derive the calorific value and/or Wobbe index of the gas.

  • Patent number: 4506934
    Abstract: A chordal action isolation wheel assembly for reduction of noise in track-laying vehicles by using a pendulous isolation wheel to isolate chordal track forces from a smaller drive sprocket. The drive sprocket is mounted on a drive shaft and one end of a pendulous arm is rotatably connected to the drive shaft. The isolation wheel is rotatably mounted on the other end of the pendulous arm and an endless track is trained about both the isolation wheel and the drive sprocket with only a small portion of the periphery of the drive sprocket contacting the endless track. The larger diameter of the isolation wheel causes a gentle lowering of the endless track onto the drive sprocket to reduce the force transmitted to the sprocket wheel and reduced noise. Chordal impacts of the track shoes occur against the isolation wheel, and the resulting vibrational energy is absorbed by the pendulous action of the isolation wheel assembly.
