Patent number: 11781895Abstract: A system and method for observing fluid flow behavior at a selected site, deriving judgments and recommendations, and further communicating data, judgments and recommendations. The system receives flow rate information, derives a time series of fluid flow events therefrom, identifies compound events consisting of contemporaneous events, disaggregates compound events by application of an unsupervised model, and applies the unsupervised model to derive a solution space of a subset sum problem-type, wherein historical data of the observed fluid flow is not necessarily accessed.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2018Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Buoy Labs, Inc.Inventors: Keri Waters, Andrew Stephen Pike

Patent number: 9947309Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods for providing accurate and reliable compact sonar systems for mobile structures. In one embodiment, a sonar system includes a mounting bracket, a transducer support arm, and a pivoting mechanism pivotably coupling the transducer support arm to the mounting bracket such that, for forces acting on the transducer support arm that are less than a preselected kick-up level, the pivoting mechanism holds the transducer support arm against such forces and at a user selectable first angular position relative to the mounting bracket, and for forces acting on the transducer support arm that are equal to or greater than the preselected kick-up level, allows the transducer support arm to be moved by those forces to a second angular position relative to the mounting bracket.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2015Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: FLIR Systems, Inc.Inventors: Paul Stokes, Christopher Page, Stephen Pike, Paul Muller, William Sayer, David Wellcome, Gordon Pope

Patent number: 9846284Abstract: Optical fiber connector assembly for a fiber optic cable includes an optical fiber having an end portion terminated with a ferrule. The optical fiber connector assembly includes: a sleeve configured to at least partially house the end portion of the optical fiber terminated with the ferrule; a connector including a body extending lengthwise and having an internal passageway for the sleeve, the body having a distal portion, configured to house the sleeve and to mate with a corresponding receptacle, and a proximal portion configured to be coupled to an end portion of the fiber optic cable, the proximal portion having on its lateral surface at least one aperture; and a crimping element adapted to couple the proximal portion of the body to the end portion of the fiber optic cable at the at least one aperture. A pre-connectorized fiber optic cable includes a fiber optic cable and the optical fiber connector assembly mounted upon an end portion of the fiber optic cable.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2014Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: PRYSMIAN S.P.AInventors: Ian Griffiths, Matt Kerry, Stephen Pike
