Patent number: 11951497Abstract: A method of assembling a trigger sprayer assembly includes providing an engine having a piston chamber and a fluid passage that is fluidly coupled to the piston chamber, the fluid passage extending from an input portion to an output portion. The method further includes inserting a piston component into the piston chamber, and coupling a trigger lever to the engine and the piston component. Pivoting the trigger lever relative to the engine pushes and pulls the piston component within the piston chamber to drive fluid from the input portion to the output portion of the fluid passage. The method further includes coupling a shroud to the engine, where the coupling comprises positioning a rail protrusion of the engine within a corresponding recess formed in the shroud, and inserting a shelf extending from an interior surface of the shroud into a pair of receiving clips extending from the engine.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignees: Market Ready, Inc., CupCake LLCInventors: Brandon Donnelly, Kyle Hansen, Alan Gormley, Milan-Bob Patadlas, Michael Sawant

Patent number: 11949231Abstract: A system for optimizing a network of power plants includes at least one memory storing a network model of a network of power plants including a power plant model for each power plant, each power plant model including one or more equipment models of power plant equipment of a power plant, and plant relationships between the power plant models. The system further includes at least one processor configured to modify an attribute of a first equipment model included in a first power plant model of a first power plant, identify at least one plant relationship between the first power plant model and a second power plant model of a second power plant, determine an expected change in operation of the second power plant based on the modified attribute and the at least one plant relationship, and generate a record including an indication of the expected change.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: 8ME NOVA, LLCInventors: Lukas Hansen, Gautham Ramesh, Philippe Garneau-Halliday, Kyle Monson, Brandon Carpenter, Rahul Mondal, Emily Arnold

Publication number: 20200159425Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for data block usage information synchronization for a non-volatile storage volume. The method includes referencing first data block usage information for data blocks of a non-volatile storage volume managed by a storage manager. The first data block usage information is maintained by the storage manager. The method also includes synchronizing second data block usage information managed by a storage controller with the first data block usage information maintained by the storage manager. The storage manager maintains the first data block usage information separate from second data block usage information managed by the storage controller.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2020Publication date: May 21, 2020Inventors: David Flynn, David Atkisson, Drex Dixon, Jonathan Flynn, Brandon Hansen

Publication number: 20080076262Abstract: A method and system for treating a dielectric film includes exposing at least one surface of the dielectric film to an alkyl silane, an alkoxysilane, an alkyl siloxane, an alkoxysiloxane, an aryl silane, an acyl silane, a cyclo siloxane, a polysilsesquioxane (PSS), an aryl siloxane, an acyl siloxane, or a halo siloxane, or any combination thereof. The dielectric film can include a low dielectric constant film with or without pores having an etch feature formed therein following dry etch processing. As a result of the etch processing or ashing, exposed surfaces in the feature formed in the dielectric film can become damaged, or activated, leading to retention of contaminants, absorption of moisture, increase in dielectric constant, etc. Damaged surfaces, such as these, are treated by performing at least one of healing these surfaces to, for example, restore the dielectric constant (i.e., decrease the dielectric constant) and cleaning these surfaces to remove contaminants, moisture, or residue.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2007Publication date: March 27, 2008Applicant: TOKYO ELECTRON LIMITEDInventors: Robert KEVWITCH, Brandon Hansen, Dorel Toma, Jianhong Zhu
