US Patent:

6925335, Aug 2, 2005

Filed:

Jul 5, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/899527

Inventors:

James Alan May - Austin TX, US
Miguel A. Cortes - San Antonio TX, US
William I. Needel - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Isochron, LLC - Austin TX

International Classification:

G05B015/02
G05B019/18

US Classification:

700 9, 700 65, 700 83, 700 79, 700 80, 700 81, 700 82, 709217, 709218, 709219

Abstract:

An apparatus and system are disclosed for the real-time monitoring and control of field assets. The monitoring device, operable to couple to a field asset, may be designed to leverage one or more technologies included in the field asset or as a stand-alone unit and is preferably operable to detect one or more error conditions thereon. The error conditions may be detected either as they occur or during testing intervals. Once an error condition is detected, the monitoring device may initiate one or more corrective sequences to resolve the error condition or, alternatively, the monitoring device may notify a network operations center via a wireless network. Accessing a network operations center from an Internet-enabled remote device, a user may view status information for one or more field assets, issue commands to correct error conditions as well as perform other functions.

International Classification:

US Classification:

700 9, 700 65, 700 83, 700 79, 700231

Abstract:

An apparatus and system are disclosed for real-time monitoring and control of field assets. A monitoring device may be coupled to a field asset to determine the occurrence of one or more error conditions. Error conditions may be detected either as they occur or by testing the field asset at timed intervals. Upon detection of one or more error conditions, the monitoring device may initiate one or more corrective sequences to resolve the error condition. Alternatively, the monitoring device may notify a network operations center of the detected error condition. Users may access the network operations center via an Internet-enabled remote device. From the Internet-enabled remote device, the user may view status information concerning one or more field assets. The user may also use the Internet-enabled remote device to instruct the network operations center to issue commands to be executed by the monitoring device such that the error conditions on the field asset may be corrected.

US Patent:

20030204391, Oct 30, 2003

Filed:

Apr 30, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/426840

Inventors:

James May - Austin TX, US
Jaime Budet - Austin TX, US
John Dinsmore - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Isochron Data Corporation

International Classification:

G06F017/20

US Classification:

704/008000

Abstract:

A method and system is provided for the interpretation of information communicated in disparate dialects. The method and system includes a general parser receiving audit reports having data in multiple dialects including unknown dialects. An interpretation module extracts the data from the audit reports and interprets the data while a validation module analyzes the results of the interpretation. For unknown dialects, the general parser either marks an audit report as having an unknown dialect or invokes the learning module which acquires the unknown dialect. The learning module creates a provisional interpretation module and a provisional validation module for the unknown dialect using the data in the unknown dialect audit report. The learning module tests the provisional interpretation module and provisional validation module with additional audit reports having the same dialect as the audit report used to create them and with successful testing are assumed to be correct.

Filed:

Apr 22, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/052089

Inventors:

Ray W. Blasingame - Richardson TX
James H. May - McKinney TX

Assignee:

Honeywell Inc. - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

G01J 132

US Classification:

250205

Abstract:

An optical switch, or detector, is provided with a light source and a light sensitive component. The light source, which can be an infrared light emitting diode, and the light sensitive component, which can be a photodarlington pair, are associated to provide an equilibrium light emission from the light emitting diode which is sufficient to maintain conductance through the light sensitive component which regulates the amount of current flowing through the light emitting diode. This cooperative association between these components results in an equilibrium condition that is disturbed by the existence of an object between these components to obstruct the light beam between the light source and the light sensitive component, or an external light source providing a beam of light received by the light sensitive component. The voltage magnitude at the light source can be used as a signal representing the condition as the light sensitive component. In other words, if an object blocks the light beam between the light source and the photodarlington pair, the voltage at the light source is caused to rise to a predetermined magnitude.

Abstract:

A drum mixer is useful in the continuous production of asphalt paving composition, and has provision for the accurate control of the final temperature of the composition being produced. The drum mixer comprises a fixedly mounted cylindrical sleeve disposed in a generally horizontal orientation, and rotating blades for conveying the heated aggregate longitudinally through the interior of the sleeve. An opening is provided in the side wall portion of the sleeve, and a box-like enclosure covers the opening and mounts a plurality of sensor mounting tubes, so as to permit one or more sensors to be positioned at a location within the enclosure. The enclosure is located where the blades or mixing action in the sleeve will supply a regular flow of the aggregate into the enclosure, and so that the aggregate then slides over the sensors. The sensors are thus subjected to a representative portion of the aggregate, and they are protected from both the radiant heat of the burner and the physical abuse of the mixing action.
