Patents by Inventor Steven Ferguson

Steven Ferguson has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20250129737
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel combination of devices to measure and transmit to an electronic controller data pertaining to differential pressures, temperatures, regeneration status, exhaust content, accumulated gas consumption and substitute fuel consumption. The electronic controller compares the data to thresholds; when the controller receives signals indicating these thresholds or limits are met, the controller causes the gas substitution rate to be diminished or set to zero until after-treatments elements are fully regenerated thereby facilitating integration of a mixed fuel system with an application internal combustion engine.

  • Publication number: 20240099173
    Abstract: Tine assemblies (100a, 100b, 104) are secured by a single bolt (126) extending diametrically through each tine (120) located in a cavity (112) of a tine plate (110). An outer tine assembly (104) is connected to a sleeve (116) rotatably mounted on independently rotatable shafts (102) to which inner tine assemblies (100a, 100b) are connected. A tine cover (50) removably closes an opening (40) in the top plate (28) and in which weights (70) are removably received over the tine assemblies (100a, 100b, 104). Transport wheels (134) are moveable by pivoting a stop plate (140) to position an upper pivot axis (150a) of an abutment bar (150) ahead of or behind the stop axis (142) and lower pivot axis (150b). A stop (146) positioned on the stop plate (140) without the use of tools adjusts the depth of the tine assemblies (100a, 100b, 104).

  • Patent number: 9491902
    Abstract: A top dresser advances sand contained in a hopper on a dispensing conveyor moving at a linear speed onto a rotatable spinner rotating at a rotating speed. The linear and rotatable speeds are controlled by a controller by electrically actuating first and second electrically actuated valves providing fluid flow to hydraulic motors driving the rotatable spinner and the dispensing conveyor. The rotatable and linear speeds are inputted into an electrical display electronically connected to the controller. The hydraulic flow to the second electrically actuated valve may be solely from the first electrically actuated valve to create back pressure acting as a cushion. Multiple function switches on the electrical display may be actuated in sequence to replicate a linear line relationship between the rotational and linear speeds. Start-up, run, look up and application calculation screens may be displayed on a monitor of the electrical display.

  • Patent number: 8620683
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for generating a multi-dimensional contextual platform that may be used to manage, diagnose, and communicate with patients in a medical practice. In particular, the system may provide a website that may provide dynamic, avatar-based interfaces that include a doctor interface and a patient interface. A doctor may create a subscription with an operator of the website in order to find new patients and view patient health records across multiple dimensions. A patient may create a subscription with the operator to locate a doctor and maintain open communications with the doctor. Once subscribed, the doctor and patient may use the website to enhance the overall healthcare experience by using social networking aspects of the website to facilitate doctor and patient communication in real-time.
