Patent number: 11537022Abstract: A method of controlling smart windows with dynamic tenancy, performed by a control system is provided. The method includes coupling a control system having a plurality of smart windows each having one or more electrochromic devices, to a plurality of remote devices, and managing, in the control system, configurable smart window groups each having in membership one or more of the plurality of smart windows. The method includes managing, in the control system, configurable user groups each having in membership one or more of a plurality of users in association with the smart window groups, and controlling transmissivity of the electrochromic devices of the plurality of smart windows in accordance with the configurable smart window groups, the configurable user groups and the plurality of remote devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Halio, Inc.Inventors: Paul Nagel, Wally Barnum, Jason Litzinger, William O'Dell

Publication number: 20220325113Abstract: Coating compositions that include one or more epoxy resin compositions, one or more metal-containing compound and one or more curing agents are described. The compositions can be applied to steel substrates, including steel substrates such as steel pipe to resist attack by sour gas. When applied to a substrate and cured, these coating compositions demonstrate reduced permeability to hydrogen sulfide.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2022Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Owen H. DECKER, George William O'DELL, Kurt A. KIRBY, Lingyun HE

Patent number: 11132259Abstract: Performing patch reconciliation of storage nodes within a storage cluster is presented herein. A patch reconciliation component receives an upgrade patch request to upgrade a first version of an operating system (OS) on a data storage node of a data storage cluster to a second version of the OS that has been installed on another data storage node of the data storage cluster, the first version preceding the second version; and based on the upgrade patch request, determines a group of upgrade patches to apply to the first version of the OS to facilitate the upgrade, and applies the group of upgrade patches to the first version of the OS resulting in the upgrade of the first version of the OS to the second version of the OS, the group of upgrade patches comprising respective upgrade binary files for the first version of the OS.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLCInventor: Jared William O'Dell

Patent number: 9770070Abstract: According to an embodiment, a method of assembling a reel includes coupling a drive component with a tightening component and coupling the tightening component with a top end of a housing. A spool component is then inserted within a bottom end of the housing so that the spool component is positioned within the housing's interior region and faces a bottom surface of the drive component. An attachment component is then coupled with the bottom end of the housing. The attachment component includes a coupling member that couples with the drive component. Coupling of the coupling member with the drive component operationally couples the drive component and the spool component so that operation of the tightening component causes the spool component to rotate within the housing in a first direction while preventing rotation of the spool component in a second direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2014Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: Boa Technology Inc.Inventors: Jesse Cotterman, Eric Irwin, Randon Kruse, William O'Dell, Thomas Pollack

Patent number: 4770448Abstract: A pipe joint coupling member for deep well pipe strings has a female thread with a slightly longer pitch than the standard API thread of the pipe end. The differences in pitch is predetermined so as to equal the elastic elongation of the pipe end threads due to loading of the made up joints when suspended in a well. The coupling, in addition to having a slightly longer thread pitch may also have a different taper or tapers than that of the standard pipe end.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1986Date of Patent: September 13, 1988Assignee: Landell International Company, Inc.Inventors: Albert L. Strickland, William O'Dell

Patent number: 4720247Abstract: A oil well reciprocating piston pump is fluid pressure operated from a source at the earth's surface. The piston is hollow and serves also as a sealed cylinder for a free piston which is gas biased downwardly. The underside of the free piston is in contact with a body of oil displaceable from the sealed cylinder into the annular space between the hollow piston and its cylinder to bias the hollow piston toward the bottom of its stroke.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1986Date of Patent: January 19, 1988Assignee: Landell International Company, Inc.Inventors: Albert L. Strickland, William O'Dell
