Patent number: 10061888Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods may relate to a system for predicting a respirator fit by comparing a respirator model in a deformed state to a specific facial model. In an illustrative example, an internal measurement may be calculated between an inside part of the respirator model and the facial model. The internal measurement may be compared against a predetermined threshold to determine a fit of the respirator model, for example. In various implementations, the internal measurement may be a distance and/or a volume between the respirator and facial model. In some implementations, a 3D representation of the respirator model may be displayed upon a 3D representation of the facial model. In some implementations, a color-coded facial display may characterize areas of comfort and discomfort with respect to the respirator model. For example, areas of comfort and discomfort may be objectively determined in view of an applied pressure by the respirator.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2015Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Xiaoli Wang, Henry Chen, Hao Bai, Paul Derby, Hari Thiruvengada, Vicken Sarkissian, Yajun-Edwin Zhang

Patent number: 9361411Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods may relate to a system for predicting a respirator fit by comparing a specific respirator model to a specific facial model in a dynamic position. In an illustrative example, one or more dynamic positions may be generated by actual user movement and/or simulated user movement. For example, a facial model may be generated by altering a static model in view of actual and/or simulated movements. In various implementations, a facial model may be compared against a variety of respirator models from a respirator model database. In some implementations, a 3D representation of the respirator model may be displayed upon a 3D representation of the facial model. In some implementations, a color-coded facial display may characterize areas of comfort and discomfort with respect to the respirator model. For example, areas of comfort and discomfort may be objectively determined in view of an applied pressure by the respirator.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: Honeywell International, Inc.Inventors: Hari Thiruvengada, Paul Derby, Henry Chen, Hao Bai, Xiaoli Wang, Vicken Sarkissian, Yajun-Edwin Zhang

Patent number: 8532962Abstract: A system which may enable users to plan, design and observe various building systems in an abstract and intuitive view, such as with a map view. In this view, virtually all facility information and objects may be displayed as simple shapes (e.g., rectangles). Just by some drag-and-drop, a user may provide shapes and rearrange positions of these shapes quickly to reflect a desired space relationship. Objects (e.g., components, devices, controllers, and the like) may be placed, moved around, and associated with each other on a facility layer or floor. Further, the map view may be used together with a tree view and a list view to provide alternative design ways. Changes made in any of the views may be synchronized with the other views. Various presentations of the facility may be provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2009Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Yajun-Edwin Zhang, Zhao Xia Jin, Jerry Qi Huang, Andrew D. Halford, Chengyi Liu, Curtis Mitchell
