20120297659 | PENDULUM CROSSHAIR FOR WEAPON SIGHT - The pendulum crosshair for a weapon sight incorporates a thin, rigid wire pivotally suspended at its upper end to a point at or immediately above the peripheral end point of the fixed vertical crosshair in the reticle of a weapon sight. If the weapon, and thus the sight, is tilted or canted from the vertical when aiming, the pendulum crosshair will misalign with the fixed vertical crosshair in the sight to indicate to the shooter that the weapon is canted. This allows the shooter to correct the cant or tilt of the weapon to avoid the lateral displacement of the shot that would otherwise occur due to lateral displacement of the elevation correction for the sight line. | 11-29-2012 |

20150033365 | EXTERNAL PLATFORM EXTENSIONS IN A MULTI-TENANT ENVIRONMENT - Enforcing access control to individual extensions of services in a multi-tenant cloud environment by initializing objects for the extension based on public and private configuration files with service access rules that are merged is described. This allows third party vendors to specify payment rules for their own extensions while securely keeping the core extension configuration files. Tenants of the multi-tenant cloud environment can pick and choose which services to purchase, and the cloud environment automates the process of accessing the service using the third-party developer's tenant access list rules. | 01-29-2015 |

20150276076 | Pressure Relief Valve - A second piece nests within a first piece and has a circumferential groove. A vent penetrates the first piece and matches the circumferential groove when the second piece is nested within the first piece. An o-ring is modified to allow equal pressure on either side of the o-ring. | 10-01-2015 |

20090083001 | FIELD DEVICE FOR DIGITAL PROCESS CONTROL LOOP DIAGNOSTICS - A diagnostic field device for coupling to a two-wire process control loop of an industrial process control or monitoring system includes digital communication monitoring circuitry which is configured to couple to a two-wire process control loop. The digital communication monitoring circuitry is configured to receive a digital communication signal from the two-wire process control loop. Timing circuitry in the diagnostic field device provides a timing output. Diagnostic circuitry provides a diagnostic output based upon the digital communication signal and the timing output. | 03-26-2009 |
20120038760 | INTRINSICALLY-SAFE HANDHELD FIELD MAINTENANCE TOOL WITH IMAGE AND/OR SOUND CAPTURE - An intrinsically-safe handheld field maintenance tool includes a process communication module configured communicatively couple to a field device. A camera is configured to obtain at least one image relative to the field device. A controller is coupled to the process communication module and operably coupled to the camera. The controller is configured to store the at least one image relative to the field device. The handheld field maintenance tool may also include or employ an audio input device to capture audio files. | 02-16-2012 |
20120040698 | HANDHELD FIELD MAINTENANCE TOOL WITH IMPROVED LOCATIONAL AWARENESS FUNCTIONALITY - A handheld field maintenance tool is provided. The tool includes, among other things, a wireless process communication protocol module configured to communicate in accordance with a wireless process communication protocol. The tool also includes a display and an input device. A controller is coupled to the wireless process communication protocol module, the display, and the input device. The controller is configured to generate a map on the display indicating a position of the handheld field maintenance device relative to at least one asset, such as a field device. The controller is further configured to determine a position of the handheld field maintenance device by triangulating using wireless process communication with a number of known, fixed-position wireless field devices. | 02-16-2012 |

20120296448 | SOFTWARE LOCKOUT COORDINATION BETWEEN A PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEM AND AN ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A process control system coordinates with an associated asset management system to implement a plant safety mechanism and, in particular, to prevent unintended changes to, or otherwise undesired operation of, one or more process control equipment resources in a process plant. A maintenance technician uses the asset management system to request access to one or more of the process control equipment resources. A process operator receives the request via the process control system and grants or denies the request. Process control equipment resources for which a process operator grants a request are inoperable, in part or in whole, by the process control system. Upon completion of the maintenance task, the maintenance technician requests to return control of the process control equipment resource to the process operator. The return is complete when the process operator acknowledges the return of the resource to the process control system. | 11-22-2012 |

20110114479 | Composite Material Useful in Electrolytic Aluminum Production Cells - Composite materials comprising titanium diboride and boron nitride that are used to line electrolytic aluminum production cells are disclosed. The composite materials may be used to line the side walls and/or bottom wall of the cell. The ratio of titanium diboride to boron nitride may be controlled in order to provide the desired level of electrical conductivity depending upon the particular region of the cell in which the liner plate is installed. The titanium diboride/boron nitride composite materials exhibit desirable aluminum wetting behavior, and are capable of withstanding exposure to molten cryolite, molten aluminum and oxygen at elevated temperatures during operation of the electrolytic aluminum production cells. | 05-19-2011 |
