Publication number: 20240085185Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for submersion detection and underwater depth and low-latency temperature estimation. In an embodiment, a method comprises: determining a first set of vertical accelerations obtained from an inertial sensor of a wearable device; determining a second set of vertical accelerations obtained from pressure data; determining a first feature associated with a correlation between the first and second sets of vertical accelerations; and determining that the wearable device is submerged or not submerged in water based on a machine learning model applied to the first feature. In another embodiment, a method comprises: determining a submersion state of a wearable device; and responsive to the submersion state being submerged, computing a forward estimate of water temperature based on measured ambient water temperature at the water surface, a temperature error lookup table, and a rate of change of the ambient water temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Stephen P. Jackson, Ti-Yen Lan, Yi Wen Liao, Alexandru Popovici, Igor Tchertkov, Rose M. Wahlin, Natisa Jeyakanthan, Amit K. Jain, Kenneth M. Lee

Publication number: 20240071593Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Anna Leigh DAVIS, Scott M. BELLIVEAU, Naresh C. BHAVARAJU, Leif N. BOWMAN, Rita M. CASTILLO, Alexandra Elena CONSTANTIN, Rian W. DRAEGER, Laura J.

Patent number: 9929477Abstract: A torque limited screw is used to secure a conductor to an electrical connector. The screw has a torque limiting feature between a head and a body of the screw which must be overcome by force to break the head free from the screw body. The screw assembly includes a threaded body configured to be releasably coupled to a coupling portion of the connector. A head of the screw assembly is joined to the body via a neck portion which under a specified torque applied to the head fractures to break the head away from the body seated in the connector and securing the conductor. In one embodiment, the screw includes a plate spaced from and coupled to the threaded body for contacting the conductor. The plate is rotatable relative to the threaded body when the threaded body is coupled to the coupling portion of the connector.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2016Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Ilsco CorporationInventors: Michael W. Beiler, Eric D. Besterman, Stephen M. Jackson, Alan Merritt, Philip G. Reed, Richard L. Shank, Thomas M. Sweeney, Carl J. Taylor

Publication number: 20170194770Abstract: A bus bar for electrical power distribution may be an elongated extruded metal bar having slots extending the entire length thereof. The slots may be of T-shape cross section, each with the channel opening through a face of the bar. Bolts are arranged with their heads captured in, and slidable along the length of the slots to any desired position. The bolts may have threaded stems which extend from the head through the channel of the T-slot in which its head is disposed and beyond that face of the bar through which the associated T-slot opens. Each stem is adapted to threadably receive a nut for clamping, supporting or connecting lugs to the bar. The bus bars can be mounted on insulating support members.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2016Publication date: July 6, 2017Applicant: Ilsco CorporationInventors: Stephen M. Jackson, Thomas M. Sweeney

Patent number: 8680790Abstract: An electrical connector is provided for connecting a light emitting diode (LED) to a driver. The electrical connector includes a housing, a driver input contact held by the housing and configured to be electrically connected to a power output of the driver, and an LED output contact held by the housing and configured to be electrically connected to a power input of the LED. An electrical path is defined between the driver input contact and the LED output contact for supplying electrical power from the driver to the power input of the LED. The electrical connector includes a temperature monitor and control (TMC) module operatively connected to a temperature sensor for receiving a temperature associated with the LED. The TMC module is configured to control the flow of electrical power from the driver input contact to the LED output contact based on the temperature received from the temperature sensor.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2011Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Stephen M.

Publication number: 20130141007Abstract: A modular system and method for providing power for LED lighting systems. The power source unit comprises (1) a power supply that converts A/C voltage to regulated D/C voltage, (2) a configurable intelligent gateway module that receives the regulated D/C voltage and places it on a power bus to which one or more power node modules and any accessories in need of power, such as motion detectors or cooling units, are coupled, and (3) an intelligent power node module that converts the regulated D/C voltage to a regulated D/C current and provides it to the particular LED Light Module (LLM), and which also receives data from the LLM, such as temperature data, and adjusts the regulated current accordingly. The gateway module also may receive control data from control devices, such as dimmers or wireless controllers, and instruct the power node module to regulate its output current accordingly.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2011Publication date: June 6, 2013Applicant: TYCO ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Matthew C.
