Method For Setting Electrical Characteristics Of Sensors After Assembly

View page
US Patent:
6622372, Sep 23, 2003
Filed:
May 29, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/867026
Inventors:
Frederick W. Hintz - Freeport IL
Stephen J. Postma - Pecatonica IL
Assignee:
Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
H01C 1700
US Classification:
296101, 29613, 29619
Abstract:
A sensor device is assembled by placing a sensor and a potentiometer within a sensor casing. An electrical connection extending from inside to outside the sensing casing has an interior portion inside the sensor casing and an exterior portion outside the sensor casing. The sensor and the potentiometer are coupled to the interior portion and are sealed within the sensor casing. A potentiometer setting apparatus is coupled to the exterior portion and is used to set the potentiometer. Then, the interior portion of the electrical connection is destroyed so that the potentiometer cannot be subsequently reset.

US Patent:
20110246215, Oct 6, 2011
Filed:
Mar 30, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/750386
Inventors:
Stephen J. Postma - New Berlin WI, US
Ann Tate - Draper UT, US
Keith McElroy - St. Charles IL, US
Chris Weinert - Merengo IL, US
International Classification:
G06Q 10/00
G06Q 50/00
G06Q 30/00
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
705 2, 705 28, 707802, 707E17044, 705 271
Abstract:
A replenishment center connected to a plurality of analyzer systems each comprising at least one analyzer module which performs analysis using a replenishable item is disclosed. The replenishment center includes a receiver configured to receive operation information from at least one of the plurality of analyzer systems that relates to utilization of the replenishable item, a database configured to record the operation information in relation to the at least one of the plurality of analyzer systems, an inventory calculator configured to calculate and store in the database a remaining quantity of inventory of the replenishable item kept for the at least one of the plurality of analyzer systems, based on the operation information recorded in the database, and a suggested order generator configured to generate, when the calculated remaining quantity becomes less than a predetermined threshold, a suggested order programmed to give a user of the at least one of the plurality of analyzer systems an option of accepting or rejecting the suggested order.

Proximity Sensor With Reduced Temperature Sensitivity Using A.c. And D.c. Energy

View page
US Patent:
51809788, Jan 19, 1993
Filed:
Dec 2, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/801310
Inventors:
Stephen J. Postma - Freeport IL
Milford M. Gesin - Forreston IL
Nick A. Demma - Minneapolis MN
Paul E. Bjork - Forest Lake MN
Thomas J. Wagener - Eden Prairie MN
Assignee:
Honeywell Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
G01B 714
US Classification:
32420716
Abstract:
A proximity sensor is provided with a means for directly measuring parameters of a proximity sensor coil which permit the determination of both the AC and DC resistances of the coil. These parameters are then used to determine a discriminator value magnitude according to a mathematical relationship that has been predetermined through previous analysis of empirical data for the particular coil and application intended for the proximity sensor. In one particular application of the present invention, the rear AC resistance is utilized and is added to the DC resistance after the DC resistance has been mathematically altered by a preselected factor. Alternative embodiments of the present invention can also utilize the imaginary AC component of the impedance either by itself or in conjunction with the rear AC component of the impedance. Whether the real or imaginary AC components of the impedance are used individually or together, the DC resistance is used in the determination of the discriminator value magnitude because of its reliable relationship to the temperature of the coil.

Method For Setting Electrical Characteristics Of Sensors After Assembly

View page
US Patent:
62760491, Aug 21, 2001
Filed:
Oct 6, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/167108
Inventors:
Frederick W. Hintz - Freeport IL
Stephen J. Postma - Pecatonica IL
Assignee:
Honeywell International INC - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
H01C 1700
US Classification:
296101
Abstract:
A sensor, such as a proximity sensor, having its components sealed within a case, has its sensitivity adjusted with a remotely settable digital potentiometer after assembly of the sensor. The adjustment connection is then destroyed.

Method For Sample Test Counting

View page
US Patent:
20220246254, Aug 4, 2022
Filed:
Feb 22, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/181820
Inventors:
- Kobe-shi, JP
Stephen J. POSTMA - Mundelein IL, US
International Classification:
G16H 10/40
G16H 50/20
G16H 15/00
G16H 50/70
G06Q 30/04
G16H 40/20
Abstract:
Methods and systems are disclosed for generating accurate reportable test result counts for client billing purposes. In one approach, a method includes receiving, via network, a plurality of test results from at least one sample analyzer of each of a plurality of customers, selecting test results from the plurality of test results based on a plurality of determination rules adaptable to each of the customers, and determining, for each of the customers, a number of the selected test results for billings to each of the customers. Systems capable of performing the above method and other methods are likewise disclosed.
