Patent number: 10704936Abstract: To provide a flow rate characteristic function identification method, flow rate sensor, and flow rate characteristic function identification program that can set a flow rate characteristic function reflecting not only the type or shape of a fluid resistance but also the effects of states such as an attachment state of the fluid resistance, and calculate a flow rate with higher accuracy. An actual flow rate characteristic function, which is a flow rate characteristic function when an actual fluid resistance is provided in a flow path, is identified on the basis of multiple flow rate characteristic functions including a first reference flow rate characteristic function and a second reference flow rate characteristic function, and predetermined weighting.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2017Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: HORIBA STEC, Co., Ltd.Inventors: Daniel Thomas Mudd, William Wylie White, Michael Kramer, Tadahiro Yasuda

Patent number: 10036662Abstract: To accurately calibrate fluid control equipment. A flow rate calculation system includes: a container in which gas is enclosed; a weight measurement part on which the container is disposed; a gas line which connects the container and fluid control equipment and in which the gas flows; and an enclosing line for enclosing the gas in the container disposed on the weight measurement part, thereby allowing the gas to flow from the container to the fluid control equipment or from the fluid control equipment to the container in a state that the container is disposed on the weighing measurement part, and calculating a flow rate of the gas flowing to the fluid control equipment based on an output value outputted from the weight measurement part, and the container and the weight measurement part are adapted to be placed in a decompressed decompression chamber.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2017Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: HORIBA STEC, Co., Ltd.Inventors: Daniel Thomas Mudd, William Wylie White

Patent number: 8768605Abstract: A rush hour modeling system that is configured for modifying existing travel time/distance data to reflect special traffic conditions, such as rush hour traffic conditions. The system is configured to receive information defining one or more time windows, geographic areas, and road segments in which special traffic conditions occur. The system is also configured to receive travel rules that reflect the special traffic conditions. The travel rules are used to modify a travel time/distance matrix to reflect the effect of the special traffic conditions on “normal” travel times and distances. Existing routing and scheduling systems can then use the modified travel matrix to plan and schedule routes for delivery vehicles more accurately. Additionally, the modified travel matrix can be used to model traffic conditions through a particular geographic area or on a particular road segment.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2013Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Roadnet Technologies Inc.Inventors: Charles Heaps, Clifton Kraisser, Ralph Clementi, Thomas Mudd, Stephen Simon, Francis McClellan
