Patent number: 9879708Abstract: The described embodiments provide a subsea connector that is a quickly deployable and reusable. The subsea connector comprises a male and a female assembly that can be connected and disconnected. The male assembly includes a shaft, a sleeve that surrounds the shaft, and bars that are connected to the shaft and are configured to rotate about one axis. The female assembly includes a receptacle into which the male assembly can fit. Once the male assembly is inserted into the female assembly, the bars can rotate into such a position that the male and female assemblies are connected together. The bars can also be rotated such that the male and female assemblies can be disconnected.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2016Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignees: ENGINUITY INC., OCEANSIDE EQUIPMENT LIMITEDInventors: Gleb Sekretta, Benjamin Garvey, Lee Babin, Daniel Horne, Louis-Phillipe Manuge, Steven Doiron, Martin Gregory Maloney, Alastair Trower

Patent number: 7658203Abstract: Fluid sensing shut-off devices with timer and methods of operation to shut off fluid flow if a primary shutoff valve sticks in the on condition. An embodiment is disclosed using a microphone to sense fluid flow, with a microprocessor periodically awakening from a sleep mode to power the sensor and determine if there is flow. If there is flow, the microprocessor times flow, and if flow is not shut off within a predetermined length of time, the microprocessor shuts off the valve. The valve itself normally held in a magnetically latched, valve open state, but may be unlatched by a current pulse to close the valve. Various embodiments and applications are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2009Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: Enginuity, Inc.Inventors: Thurman F. Hodge, Benjamin Grill, Oded Eddie Sturman

Patent number: 5167392Abstract: The opening (233) between two adjustable arms (204-205) can be varied to accommodate a wide variety of beverage container sizes. A swivel bar (203) is pivotally attached to a supporting structure (202) by inserting hinge pins (210) into hinge pin holes (212). A pair of arms, each of which includes a retaining pin (214), are pivotally attached to the swivel bar by inserting the retaining pins into holes (218) at opposite ends of the swivel bar. The retaining pins have a narrow stem (214a) and a wider head (214b), the head being wider than the holes. During assembly, the head compresses as it is being inserted into the hole, and expands after it has been forced through the hole, thereby permanently attaching the arm. A detent wheel (213), contilever spring (215) and pawl (216) hold the arms in one of three predetermined angular positions. Each arm, detent wheel and retaining pin are integrally formed as a unitary structure from a single plastic injection mold.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 1990Date of Patent: December 1, 1992Assignee: Enginuity Inc.Inventor: Douglas A.
