System For Adding Sound To Pictures
US Patent:
6574441, Jun 3, 2003
Filed:
Jun 4, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/872015
Inventors:
John W. McElroy - Newtown Square PA 19073
International Classification:
G03B 1224
US Classification:
396312, 396315, 396429, 396544
Abstract:
A sound recording system is used in conjunction with a conventional camera (C) that by itself cannot record sounds. A sound recorder ( ) has a mounting device ( ), a microphone ( ), and a sound record switch ( ) that is placed adjacent the shutter button when the recorder is mounted on the camera. A removable âSound Stickâ ( ) is inserted into the sound recorder ( ) through an opening ( ). The âSound Stickâ contains memories ( ) that record sound segments. A playback device, which may be separate or combined with the recorder is provided, into which the âSound Stickâ plugs into for downloading and playback of the sound segments. The âSound Stickâ includes a reading head ( ) that can scan a bar code that correlates the sound segments with the pictures.
Planning And Scheduling Tool Assistant Assuring High Utilization Of Resources
US Patent:
8209205, Jun 26, 2012
Filed:
May 24, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/851663
Inventors:
John W. McElroy - Newtown Square PA, US
Sean P. McElroy - Draper UT, US
Kirk Samsel - Denver CO, US
Sean P. McElroy - Draper UT, US
Kirk Samsel - Denver CO, US
International Classification:
G06Q 10/00, G06F 19/00
US Classification:
705 712, 700100
Abstract:
Schedulers, Planners, and Maintenance Supervisors in an Industrial facility can use the user interface of the present invention to extremely quickly move work order schedules, status planning, and manage resources. Additionally, key performance indicators or metrics on performance on how well the organization is doing is also cumbersome if not impossible in the current practice in these industrial organizations. The variables of this management include worker, crew, Work Order, Dates, Planning Status, planner, dates, etc. (see tech manual and summary sheets). The invention operates by interfacing with the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) database in a thoroughly interactive process. The local program constructs a parallel database and reads and feedbacks to the CMMS database frequently to stay current and accurate.

Method And Apparatus For Non-Invasive Monitoring Of Solenoid Valves
US Patent:
5477149, Dec 19, 1995
Filed:
Dec 29, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/175143
Inventors:
George M. Spencer - West Chester PA
John W. McElroy - Newtown Square PA
Michael H. Lind - Royersford PA
John W. McElroy - Newtown Square PA
Michael H. Lind - Royersford PA
International Classification:
G01R 31327, G01B 1303, E03B 707
US Classification:
324418
Abstract:
A non-invasive apparatus and method is disclosed which is adapted for testing of solenoid valves to verify valve operation. The non-invasive apparatus and method monitors with time both the stroke of the solenoid valve plunger to identify associated impacts and the state of the solenoid valve as being energized or de-energized to determine valve operability.
Non-Invasive System And Method For Inspection Of Valves
US Patent:
5008841, Apr 16, 1991
Filed:
Jul 28, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/387223
Inventors:
John W. McElroy - Newtown Square PA
Assignee:
Liberty Technology Center, Inc. - Conshohocken PA
International Classification:
G21C 1700, G08B 2100, G01D 700
US Classification:
36455101
Abstract:
A non-invasive system and method is provided for the inspection of check valves which combines acoustic and magnetic techniques. The acoustic and magnetic techniques are used to measure check valve disk motion and internal impacts or vibrations resulting from the disk motion.
Rotating Source Verification Device
US Patent:
5083109, Jan 21, 1992
Filed:
Jul 5, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/547964
Inventors:
John W. McElroy - Newtown Square PA
P. Leslie Schaumberg - Langhorne PA
P. Leslie Schaumberg - Langhorne PA
International Classification:
G08B 1900, G08B 2100
US Classification:
340522
Abstract:
A device for monitoring and verifying the operation of a rotating source, such as a rotating civil defense-type siren being tested by sounding the siren for a short period of time, employs a sensor mounted near the siren. The signal from the sensor is amplified, filtered and converted to a sinusoidal signal of the same frequency as the rotation of the siren. The sinusoidal signal is processed to sense siren turn-on, to determine whether the siren rotates more than a predetermined minimum number of times, and to sense siren turn-off. This information is stored and displayed by the device until it can be inspected by an individual, and can be relayed to a remote site.
