US Patent:

20040054583, Mar 18, 2004

Filed:

May 5, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/429358

Inventors:

Andrew Nye - Skaneateles NY, US
Jeffrey Gilbert - Homer NY, US
Kyle Turner - Ithaca NY, US
Andrew Kobziar - Ithaca NY, US

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/014000, 705/016000

Abstract:

A scheduled advertising method and system for printing marketing messages on a point of sale (POS) printer uses new POS printer capabilities with existing computer database and networking capabilities to implement a functional and economic marketing message scheduling and delivery system to retail end points. Providing dynamic marketing messaging capabilities on transaction receipts in a multi-lane retail POS environment, which includes a POS retail server and multiple host terminals with receipt printers in a multilane check-out configuration, is accomplished using various levels of scheduling services and databases which associate a schedule with each marketing message. The system operates within the existing retail POS environment, so it does not require a separate hardware system.

Appl. No.:

7/676502

Inventors:

Brett A. Desmarais - Clay NY
Jeffrey S. Gilbert - Clay NY

Assignee:

Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY

International Classification:

G01L 700
F24F 700

US Classification:

236 493

Abstract:

An air terminal flow detection scheme in an air distribution system effective for developing static pressure indications of the plenum of the air terminal from change in the flow through the air terminal over the period of time of the change.

Appl. No.:

7/744048

Inventors:

Jeffrey S. Gilbert - Cicero NY
Brett A. Desmarais - Clay NY

Assignee:

Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY

International Classification:

F24F 700

US Classification:

236 493

Abstract:

A variable air volume control system has a temperature system management device which calculates an air flow setpoint in a temperature zone as a function of a proportional term that accommodates gross temperature-setpoint errors, and integral term that provides heating or cooling load matching, and a derivative term that accommodates rapid fluctuations in the cooling or heating load, and communicates the flow setpoint to a terminal control unit to adjust the air flow to a space. The terminal control unit will implement a flow setpoint as a function of the gross error in temperature in the space and a default temperature comfort setpoint upon failure of the temperature system management device to maintain a temperature in the zone.

Filed:

Nov 6, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/965663

Inventors:

Alice M. Chiang - Weston MA
Jeffrey M. Gilbert - El Cerrito CA
Steven R. Broadstone - Woburn MA

Assignee:

TeraTech Corporation - Burlingon MA

International Classification:

G03B 4206

US Classification:

367 7

Abstract:

A multi-dimensional beamforming device that performs consecutive one-dimensional operations. For example, beamsteering for a two-dimensional array can be include a projection of a beam onto each of the respective axes of the array. In such a device, a first beamforming processing element is used to form multiple beams for each array output along a given row. In a preferred embodiment, sequential output vectors from the first processing element are then applied to a transposing or corner turning memory and the data are reformatted such that all elements on a given column of the array are applied to a second beam forming processing element.

Appl. No.:

7/676504

Inventors:

Brett A. Desmarais - Clay NY
Jeffrey S. Gilbert - Clay NY

Assignee:

Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY

International Classification:

F24F 1310

US Classification:

236493

Abstract:

An air terminal adjustment method to achieve an air flow setpoint wherein the time to achieve the setpoint is determined by calculating the difference between the flow setpoint and an actual flow and then dividing the difference by a change in flow per unit time. The time to achieve the setpoint adapts to changes in static pressure in the air terminal.
