Publication number: 20240302214Abstract: A colorimetric compliance control device includes a electronic communication device, a non-transitory computer readable medium, an electronic controller. The electronic communication device is programmed to electronically receive colorimetric information regarding a vehicle component. The non-transitory computer readable medium electronically stores a non-transitory computer learning model using the colorimetric information acquired by the detector as a first input. The non-transitory computer learning model generates a colorimetric value as an output value related to the colorimetric information. The electronic controller is programmed to compare the output value with a predetermined exemplary value. The electronic controller is programmed to determine when the output value deviates from the predetermined exemplary value.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2023Publication date: September 12, 2024Applicant: The EOSYS Group, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Williamson, Andrew Rose, Joshua Patterson, Eric Grizzard, Steven Bradford, Randy Rausch

Patent number: 11406474Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device for holding at least one conduit. The device includes a ring having a first end and a second end. The device also includes a first clamping jaw extending from the first end of the ring. The device also includes a second clamping jaw extending from the first end of the ring. A first clamping surface of the first jaw contacts a second clamping surface of the second jaw in a first position, and the first clamping surface is spaced apart from the second clamping surface in a second position. The device transitions from the first position to the second position in response to application of an external force applied to an exterior surface of the ring between the first end and the second end. The device also includes a channel including an inlet positioned at the second end of the ring. The channel is configured to releasably receive the at least one conduit via the inlet, and the channel prevents the at least one conduit from contacting the first end of the ring.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: KPR U.S., LLCInventors: Kolby Austin Faria, Steven Bradford Cote, Taylor Kathleen Rohan

Patent number: 9110708Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an approach is provided in which a thread is selected from multiple active threads, along with a corresponding weighting value. Computational logic determines whether one of the multiple threads is dispatching an instruction and, if so, computes a dispatch weighting value using the selected weighting value and a dispatch factor that indicates a weighting adjustment of the selected weighting value. In turn, a resource utilization value of the selected thread is computed using the dispatch weighting value.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2013Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James Wilson Bishop, Michael J. Genden, Steven Bradford Herndon, Philip Lee Vitale

Publication number: 20020133816Abstract: A data collection system for collecting data concerning participant response to broadcast material. The system comprises broadcast material, a plurality of data collection units and a central controller. The broadcast material contains a combination of an audience content portion, which is presented to the participant, and a data content portion which is not presented to the participant but has a content capable of identifying the content of the audience content portion currently being broadcast for presentation to the participant. The data collection units collect and store the data content portions pertaining to participant response to broadcast material and the data content portions stored by the collection unit can be read by the central controller and used for a variety of purposes.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2002Publication date: September 19, 2002Inventors: Steven Bradford Greene, Peter Edward Paul Murphy
