Publication number: 20240126676Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and articles for determining compatibility of a mobile application and operating system on a mobile device. In some aspects, a method includes receiving one or more data values from a mobile device having a mobile medical software application installed thereon, the data value(s) characterizing a version of the software application, a version of an operating system installed on the mobile device, and one or more attributes of the mobile device; determining whether the mobile medical software application is compatible with the operating system by at least comparing the received data value(s) to one or more test values in a configuration file; and sending a message to the mobile device based on the determining, the message causing the software application to operate in one or more of a normal mode, a safe mode, and a non-operational mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Issa Sami SALAMEH, Douglas William BURNETTE, Tifo Vu HOANG, Steven David KING, Stephen M.

Patent number: 10527297Abstract: This invention relates to a domestic hot water installation (1, 51, 61, 71) comprising a hot water cylinder (3), an external heating circuit (4) such as a boiler (5) in combination with a heat exchanger (7), a pump (9), and a control circuit (11). The control circuit comprises a pair of sensors (15, 17), at least one of which is a temperature sensor, and a programmable controller (13) in communication with the sensors. The programmable controller has a processor (19), an accessible memory (21), and means (23) to operate the pump. The programmable controller monitors the data from the sensors and accurately calculates the amount of hot water that has been delivered to the hot water cylinder. When the correct amount of water, according to a domestic hot water profile, has been delivered to the hot water cylinder, the programmable controller stops hot water from being delivered into the tank by shutting off the pump.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2014Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Systemlink Aquaeco LimitedInventors: Terrance William Madigan, Terence Gerard Madigan

Patent number: 7596452Abstract: A logging-while-drilling density sensor includes a gamma ray source and at least two NaI detectors spaced apart from the source for determining measurements indicative of the formation density. An analytic function based on a heuristic model is used to predict the measured response as a function of offset, mud density and formation density. The model may be used to provide a caliper measurement where acoustic caliper data are unreliable.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2007Date of Patent: September 29, 2009Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: William Madigan, Eric B. Molz, Gamal A. Hassan, Philip L. Kurkoski

Patent number: 5939857Abstract: An in-track charging system for charging the batteries of ceiling-mounted patient lifts includes a spring-biased pin assembly integrated with a movable truck and one or more rail-mounted charging stations. The truck-mounted assembly includes multiple spring-biased brass pins having upper ends extending upward from a top surface of the truck and lower ends terminating inside the main body of the truck. A wiring cable electrically connects the lower ends of the pins with a battery to be charged. Insulated bushings surround the spring-biased pins to prevent electrical short circuiting to the body of the truck. Each rail-mounted charging station includes a pair of insulated conductive plates that are joined to the inner surface of the upper horizontal cross-piece of the rail using conductive screws and nuts. To prevent electrical short circuiting to the rail insulator bushings are placed around the screws. Wires are connected to the ends of the screws and terminate at a battery charging unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1997Date of Patent: August 17, 1999Assignee: Barrier Free Lifts, Inc.Inventors: William Madigan, Floyd Swigget
