Publication number: 20240111450Abstract: A computer-implemented method for effectively delivering notifications in data storage environments includes, receiving, by a storage controller from a host system, a request to register the host system with the storage controller to receive notifications. These notifications may be associated with a selected type of event detected by the storage controller. In certain embodiments, the selected type of event is a space-related condition associated with a particular storage resource controlled by the storage controller. The computer-implemented method registers the host system with the storage controller. In response to detecting an event of the selected type on the storage controller, the computer-implemented method transmits a notification from the storage controller to the host system to provide notice of the event. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Beth Ann Peterson, Matthew Richard Craig, John G. Thompson, John R. Paveza, Nicolas Marc Clayton, Terry O'Connor, David Michael Shackelford

Publication number: 20240073383Abstract: An apparatus and method for optically remapping projected pixels to maximize the utilization and to optimize the distribution of remapped projection pixels to achieve optimal visual performance (generally uniform resolution and luminance). A device interposed between a projector and an imaging surface for optically remapping projected pixel locations with minimal aberration. When this device is interposed between a projector and an imaging surface, it changes the terminal location of each focused pixel such that it maximally coincides with the imaging surface, which is often a surface of complex curvature and very different from the native focal surface of the projector. One implementation of the technology includes a device that uses multiple optical surfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: David Michael Emig, Brock Alan Ebert, Terry Richard Linn

Publication number: 20230114155Abstract: A system for creating folds in textiles. The system includes a tooling plate, a loading assembly, a fold mechanism, a wrangler mechanism, and a door mechanism. The loading assembly enable a user to load a textile into the system. The fold mechanism creates folds in the textile. The wrangler mechanism compacts a textile after folds have been created in it to retain and tighten the folds. The door mechanism opens and closes an opening in the tooling plate through which textiles can be transferred away from the wrangler mechanism. Preferably, the system may also include a robot arm equipped to transfer textiles about the system and a tying machine for applying bindings to textiles.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2022Publication date: April 13, 2023Inventors: Dominic Davirro, Brian Patrick O'Riordan, Ian Thomas Molitors, Nathan Matthew Brown, Luke Christopher Stonis, Terry Richard Paul, Shannon Douglas Staats

Publication number: 20190154141Abstract: A family of transmission driver interfaces utilize a rotary knob for selecting among Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, and Low transmission modes. These driver interfaces obviate the need for a knob brake or knob motor to support features such as brake interlock and an auto-park. Brake interlock prevents shifting out of Park without depressing a brake pedal. Auto-park changes the transmission state to Park in response to conditions other than driver requests. Some of the driver interfaces use a button in addition to the rotary knob. In some of the driver interfaces, the knob may be rotated indefinitely without encountering a stop.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2018Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventor: Terry Richard Reames

Patent number: 8729900Abstract: A communication cable, such as a fiber optic cable, can comprise a conductive tape that extends along the cable and that facilitates locating the cable from a remote location, for example when the cable is buried under ground. The tape can comprise a low resistance for transmitting a locate signal along the length of the cable that can be detected remotely by a detector without exposing the cable. The conductive tape can be circumferentially applied around the core of the cable under the cable's jacket. Thus, the conductive tape can be accessed without exposing the core. The cable can include one or more buffer tubes for housing optical fibers. The buffer tubes and/or the jacket can comprise an antioxidant for preventing degradation associated with contact with copper or other metal of the conductive tape.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2010Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Superior Essex International LPInventors: Lawrence R.

Publication number: 20080296838Abstract: A game apparatus and corresponding method of playing chess on a substantially spherical playing surface marked with playing positions of fourteen ranks and eight files with each file forming a continuous loop around said spherical surface. Ranks terminate or are bordered at the top and bottom of the sphere, therefore not continuous. Two sets of chess pieces are provided for in said game apparatus; each set comprising eight major chess pieces and sixteen pawns with eight of the sixteen pawns being distinguishable from the other eight, each set of eight pawns traveling opposite directions across ranks. Means are provided for adherence of the chess pieces to the spherical playing surface such that gravity would not remove the chess pieces from said playing surface. Said game apparatus does not require players to learn variations to the well known rules of chess play while providing a novel means to play chess.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2007Publication date: December 4, 2008Inventor: Terry Richard Peterson
