Patents by Inventor Walied Khan

Walied Khan 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: 20230324886
    Abstract: A system includes an industrial automation component configured to receive a first voltage from a voltage source to enable the industrial automation component to perform one or more operations, a mechanical device configured to generate a second voltage, and a display configured to present image data. The display is configured to maintain presentation of the image data in absence of the first voltage received from the voltage source or the second voltage received from the mechanical device. The system also includes processing circuitry configured to use the second voltage generated by the mechanical device to adjust the image data presented by the display when the first voltage is unavailable.

  • Patent number: 11500367
    Abstract: An industrial automation component includes a power source configured to harvest power from an ambient environment surrounding the industrial automation component. The industrial automation component is configured to use the power to operate. The industrial automation component also includes a control system configured to use the power to control one or more operations of the industrial automation component and a display communicatively coupled to the control system and the power source. The control system is configured to use the power the cause the display to present a visualization, and the display is configured to maintain presentation of the visualization in absence of the power.

  • Patent number: 11493904
    Abstract: A system includes an electrical enclosure, an industrial automation component disposed within the electrical enclosure, in which the industrial automation component is configured to receive external power from an external power source to perform an operation, a display configured to maintain presentation of image data in absence of the external power being received by the industrial automation component from the external power source, and a control system communicatively coupled to the industrial automation component and to the display. The control system is configured to perform operations that include receiving an indication that the external power is within a range of a threshold, in which the threshold is associated with an insufficient amount of power for the industrial automation component to operate, identifying an error associated with the industrial automation component in response to receiving the indication, and causing the display to render image data indicative of the error.
