Patent number: 10731680Abstract: A flow distributor for a fluid flow entering a deceleration vessel from an inlet conduit comprises a plurality of spaced vanes arranged extending substantially parallel to each other across a width of the distributor and being angled from the upstream to the downstream end so as to form flow channels therebetween to direct flow outwardly away from a central portion of the distributor.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2017Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Air BP LimitedInventors: Darren Beard, Peter Robert William Pugh

Publication number: 20200012656Abstract: A user interface that includes a data flow pane and a profile pane. The data flow pane displays a flow diagram that identifies a data source. For each of multiple queries against the data source, the process issues the query against the data source asynchronously with an initial block size. Upon retrieval of the initial set of rows, the process repeats the query asynchronously with an updated block size until all of the rows have been retrieved. Periodically the process determines a high water mark for rows from the data source that have been retrieved for all of the queries. When the water mark changes, the process updates the profile pane to display data value histograms for multiple data fields in the data source. Each bar in each data value histogram counts the rows below the water mark that have a single specific data value or range of data values.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2018Publication date: January 9, 2020Inventors: William Pugh, Mengxi Chen, Isaac Kunen

Publication number: 20190093354Abstract: Disclosed herein are plaster boards that include first and second layers of hardened plaster material, a liner attached to the first layer of hardened plaster material, and a first material (e.g., a polymer material such as a viscoelastic polymer) adhered between the liner and the second layer of hardened plaster material. The liner includes one or more structurally weakened regions each extending substantially from a first edge to a second opposing edge of the plaster board. The structurally weakened regions of the liner may facilitate creation of a fissure that propagates substantially within a plane within the plaster board. Methods for making the plaster boards may involve drying wet plaster material while it is in contact with a liner having structurally weakened regions, processing a liner to form its structurally weakened regions while in contact with wet plaster material, or processing a liner to form its structurally weakened regions while in contact with hardened plaster material.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2018Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventors: James Dimitrakopoulos, Vincent Infante, John Bridenstine, David William Pugh, David Hagelgans, Ying Wang, Xuejuan Xu

Publication number: 20190014118Abstract: Application-manager software authenticates a user of a client device over a channel. The authentication operation is performed using a directory service. The application-manager software presents a plurality of applications in a GUI displayed by the client device. The plurality of applications depends on the authentication, the client device, and the channel. And the plurality of applications includes a thin application and a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application. The application-manager software receives a selection as to an application from the user. If the selection is for the SaaS application, the application-manager software provisions the SaaS application. The provision includes automatically logging the user onto an account with a provider of the SaaS application using a single sign-on and connecting the user to the account so that the user can interact with the SaaS application. If the selection is for the thin application, the application manager software launches the thin application.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2018Publication date: January 10, 2019Inventors: William Pugh, Michael Eakes, Ojvind Bernander, Pradyumna Gundavaram

Publication number: 20180271851Abstract: A novel class of hydroxylases is described having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, 4, 6 and 8, and variants and fragments thereof having HIF hydroxylation activity. The polypeptides of the invention have in particular prolyl hydroxylase activity. An assay method monitors the interaction of the HIF hydroxylase with a substrate. Modulators of HIF hydroxylase are provided for use in the treatment of a condition associated with increased or decreased HIF levels or activity or for the treatment of a condition where it is desirable to modulate HIF levels or activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2017Publication date: September 27, 2018Applicant: OXFORD UNIVERSITY INNOVATION LIMITEDInventors: Patrick Henry Maxwell, Christopher William Pugh, Peter John Ratcliffe, Christopher Joseph Schofield

Patent number: 9801128Abstract: In an embodiment, triplets of network-enabled FCIs operate to monitor the three phases of a power distribution system. In being network-enabled, the FCIs also operate as nodes of an RF mesh network. In an embodiment, upon the detection of a power failure, the triplet of network FCIs is serially operated so as to extend their networking capabilities by approximately three times.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2016Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: SILVER SPRING NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Jana Van Greunen, William Pugh, Sterling Hughes
