Patent number: 11969665Abstract: A reversible toy includes a body having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The body may be reversible between a first configuration and a second configuration to alternatingly present the first and second surfaces as an outer body surface defining an exterior of the body. In this regard, the other of the first and second surfaces may alternatingly define a stored body surface defining an interior cavity within the body. The reversible toy may further include an appendage attached to the body at the first surface and comprising a coupling feature. The coupling feature may be configured to couple the reversible toy to an object at the appendage.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: TEE TURTLE, LLCInventors: Ramy Adly Badie, Michael Thai Ly, Charles Anthony Gaines, Jr., Shea Koch Pack, Alexander William Braun

Patent number: 11686353Abstract: An actuation mechanism for a clutch, includes: an actuation element designed to be applied with an actuating force and to be shifted in an actuation direction by same; a transfer element designed to carry out a shift in the actuation direction; and a compensation mechanism designed to apply a reinforcing clamping force for the frictionally engaged transfer of the actuating force between the transfer element and the actuation element, when an actuating force is applied to the actuation element. The compensation mechanism has a friction element and a counter surface which are designed to bring about the reinforcing clamping force via a frictional connection when applying the actuating force. The friction element and the counter surface are designed to generate the reinforcing clamping force via a supporting force resulting from a deflection of the actuating force. The reinforcing clamping force has at least the value of the supporting force.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2019Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Daniel Geis-Esser, Juergen Schudy, Alexander Koch

Patent number: 11586756Abstract: An article management system collects articles from different sources, processes each article to extract information about the article (such as the topics covered in the article), and stores the information in one or more knowledge graphs. The system also maintains user profiles for each of its users. Each user profile includes a user genome representing the user's interests and preferences. The information in the knowledge graphs can be used to select articles to be displayed to users of the article management system. Articles can be displayed as part of the search results for an associated topic or concept, as part of a personalized feed that is generated based on the data in a user's profile, or as part of a feature that displays multiple articles that cover a given topic from multiple different viewpoints. The system can also provide a platform for users to create and publish research collections.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2022Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Neutrality, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Alexander Koch, Cody M.

Patent number: 10663015Abstract: A clutch actuator transmitting a disengaging force to a clutch disengaging device of a includes an actuating element which receives the disengaging force, and a piston rod for transmitting the disengaging force from the actuating element to the disengaging device. The piston rod bears against an actuating element connection region such that the piston rod is movable towards the connection region by the reaction force of the clutch. The positioning of the connection region and the piston rod relative to each other due to the movement can be fixed by applying the disengaging force to the actuating element. The actuating element at least partly deflects the disengaging force, producing a normal force and/or a radial force acting between the connection region and the piston rod. The normal force and/or the radial force fixes the position of the connection region and the piston rod relative to each other.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2017Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Simon Winter, Juergen Schudy, Alexander Koch
