Patent number: 11033840Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to part separation and cleaning devices. In an embodiment, a part separation and cleaning apparatus is included having a liquid holding tub defining an interior volume. The liquid holding tub can include a bottom pan defining a center aperture and an outer perimeter, a perimeter wall attached to the bottom pan adjacent to the outer perimeter thereof and a center sleeve attached to the bottom pan over the central aperture and extending upward away from the bottom pan. The apparatus can further include a motor and a drive shaft. An indexing plate within the liquid holding tub can be connected to the drive shaft. The indexing plate can rotate and can include a plurality of discrete compartments. A control circuit can be configured to cause the drive unit to initiate an indexing movement in response to a received signal. Other embodiments are also included herein.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2018Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: U.M.C., Inc.Inventor: Anthony Scott Hennen

Patent number: 9584835Abstract: There is provided a system and method for streaming content to a plurality of devices over a network. A first stream comprising a first live feed is received from a first source, a second stream comprising a second live feed received from a second source, the first live feed synchronized with the second live feed, and a third stream comprising the synchronized first and second live feed generated and sent to each device. An interface is also presented on each device and the live feed displayed therewithin, a request signal indicative of a request for interactive content received, a control signal comprising instructions for retrieving the interactive content from the memory sent to each device, and the interface dynamically modified for causing the retrieved interactive content to be displayed concurrently with the live feed.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2013Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: DECISION-PLUS M.C. INC.Inventor: Carl Tremblay

Patent number: 5309616Abstract: A catch for a jewelry clasp is disclosed which is formed from a single strip of dual thickness metal. A pushing member, having a second thickness which is preferably around three times the thickness of the first thickness portion of the tongue, is pressed to release the catch from a clasp to allow a wearer to remove an article of jewelry. Also disclosed is a method of making the catch where a dual thickness blank is formed by pressing a single thickness starting blank with a series of dies. A second method of making the catch is disclose where dual thickness blanks are cut from a ribbon of dual thickness metal stock.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1992Date of Patent: May 10, 1994Assignee: Do-All J.M.C. Inc.Inventor: Donald J. Sobin

Patent number: 4918891Abstract: A one-piece footing/pier foundation element (10) comprises a round concrete disc-shaped footing (24) with an elongated pier (18) extending from one side thereof. An elongated embedded pier bolt (36) extending from a top surface of the pier is used for carrying the footing/pier element and for holding a girder (72) mounted on top of the pier. The footing includes on a bottom surface thereof a stabilizing element (16,64) for preventing the footing/pier from moving laterally when in position and to prevent undue settling. The footing includes elongated footing voids (40,58) parallel with the elongated pier positioned about the pier for receiving footing bolts (14) for holding angle irons (76) extending between two footings. A system and method for using these footings/pier foundation elements involves boring appropriately positioned holes in the earth, placing the footing/pier elements in those holes and supporting a building from beams extending between top surfaces of the piers and the footings.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 1989Date of Patent: April 24, 1990Assignee: U.M.C., Inc.Inventor: Mark Gerszewski

Patent number: 4706646Abstract: A total counterflow heat exchanger comprising a system of partitions dividing an interior chamber into a series of channels which coincide with the path of a duct through that interior chamber. A substance at one temperature is passed through the duct, and a substance at a second temperature is passed through the channels, thereby creating a temperature differential gradient over which thermal energy is transfered from one substance to the other as the substances flow through the heat exchanger. The arrangement of the partitions permits a substance to pass back and forth through the channels in the heat exchanger along the same path as the duct, so that while the substance may flow through the heat exchanger at the same net rate as if the partitions were not present, the length of the heat exchange gradient may be increased many times, therefore enhancing the efficiency of the gradient and the heat exchanger.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 1986Date of Patent: November 17, 1987Assignee: M.A.C., Inc.Inventors: Paul O. Christianson, James M. McDonald

Patent number: 4384988Abstract: This invention relates to a water barrier gel composition comprising from about 0.1 to 5% by weight of water absorbent material and from about 95 to 99.9% by weight of water, based on the weight of the total composition, and a method of applying a layer of said water-barrier gel composition to a surface to prevent ignition or to protect the surface from heat damage.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1980Date of Patent: May 24, 1983Assignee: L.M.C. Inc.Inventors: Daniel Schoenholz, Charles B. Parisek
