Appl. No.:

10/096998

Inventors:

Patrick R. Moenkhaus - Mounds View MN
Timothy F. McCarthy - Plymouth MN
Edward L. Schwarz - Minneapolis MN

Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

H01R 2700

US Classification:

439502, 439218, 439507, 439638

Abstract:

A connector cable assembly has first and second plugs wired to permit plugging into a first pair of electrical plugs with a pair of terminals in a first configuration to place the terminals of those plugs in parallel connection, and to permit plugging into a second pair of electrical plugs with a pair of terminals in a second configuration, to place the terminals of those plugs in series connection. In a commercial embodiment, such a cable assembly can be used to provide power to electrical devices such as gas valves connected to receive power in parallel from the first pair of electrical plugs, and to connect in series, safety switches connected to plugs with a pair of terminals in the second configuration. By using an adapter with specialized connections between two sets of terminals it is possible to use additional cable assemblies to connect in excess of two switches in series.

International Classification:

G09G 536

US Classification:

345133

Abstract:

A computer system receives a number of different dependent variable data sets, all varying with respect to a single independent variable such as time, and displays a plot of each data set on a different one of a set of graphs, all of the graphs having conforming and preferably identical, aligned scales of the independent variable. The identical scales for the common independent variable are preferably in precise vertical alignment, which allows the viewer to more easily see relationships in the changes of the dependent variable data sets as the independent variable changes.

International Classification:

G06F 1500

US Classification:

395800

Abstract:

A computer has access to a number of data items available from at least one data source. The computer receives requests for the values of certain of these data items from a number of different clients which may be either devices external to the computer or application programs operating in a multitasking environment within the computer. As each request is received from a client, it is stored in a data item table. The computer replies to each client request in the data item table with a data item value available somewhere in the data item table. The computer updates older data item values held by the data item table by requesting those data item values from the data sources which provide them. The data item values supplied to clients are those from previously received data source replies if these replies are not too old. This reduces the number of requests for data item values which the data sources must handle, reduces traffic on a data link which might otherwise be overloaded, and reduces the delay in responding to client requests.

International Classification:

F16K 37/00
F16K 17/36
G05D 7/06

Abstract:

This disclosure relates generally to valves, and more particularly, to gas valve assemblies. In one illustrative but non-limiting example, a valve assembly may include a valve body, a valve situated in a fluid path of the valve body, a valve actuator for selectively moving the valve actuator, one or more sensors in communication with the fluid path, a controller secured relative to the valve body and in communication with the sensors, and memory operatively coupled to the controller. A user interface may be in communication with the memory and the controller and may be configured to receive a selection from a user for selecting one of two or more selectable options from the memory. The controller may compare sensed parameters to threshold values associated with the selected option. The user interface may have a lock on it to prevent tampering and to provide accountability.

International Classification:

F23N 5/00
G05B 19/05

Abstract:

A system and approach for a programmable display. The system may incorporate a display designed to operate a combustion control mechanism, dedicated purpose devices having a status represented by a set of defined data items referred to as registers, programmable behavior logic designed by a customer, other registers created by the customer to provide data generated by the programmable behavior logic, and a standard interface for serving the other registers to the display. The standard interface may be a protocol used by a web server. The web server may receive requests for data from a client and provide responses to the requests from the client. The customer, by data from the programmable logic, may control content, appearance or behavior of one or more objects on the display. The objects may send altered values to registers for operating the combustion control mechanism.

International Classification:

F23N 5/26

Abstract:

A modular flame amplifier system having a base module, a burner control and one or more flame amplifier modules connected to the burner control. One or more sensors may be connected to the one or more flame amplifier modules. Some of the flame amplifiers may be a long distance from the burner control module. Some of the flame amplifiers may be connected to the burner control via a cable. The connection between some of the flame amplifiers and the respective sensors may be less noise tolerant than the long cable connection between the one or more flame amplifiers and the burner control. One or more flame amplifiers may be mounted on the same rail as the burner control or another rail remote from the burner control. Two or more sensors may be connected in one or more of several configurations along with delay in some configurations.

International Classification:

G05D 23/19
G06F 13/42
G05B 15/02

Abstract:

An integrating system incorporating a programmable logic module, input/output (I/O) modules connected to the programmable logic module, and safety device modules connected to the programmable logic module. The modules may be connected with one another with connectors on each module. The modules may talk to each other via a common communication protocol carried by wires in the connectors. The programmable logic module may monitor and/or control signals on input and output terminals of the I/O modules that are connected to the actuators and sensors in controlled equipment. The programmable logic module may control non-safety aspects of the safety devices and inputs and outputs of the safety device modules and be modeled and appear in a same context as the signals of the input and output terminals of the I/O modules. A programmable display may be incorporated by the integrating system.
