Patent number: 11905894Abstract: An internal combustion engine-based system includes an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine-based system includes an engine interrupt connected to the engine. The engine interrupt is configured to selectively stop the operation of the engine. The internal combustion engine-based system includes a controller in communication with the engine interrupt. The internal combustion engine-based system includes a carbon monoxide detector in communication with the controller. The controller uses the engine interrupt to stop the operation of the engine when the carbon monoxide detector provides the controller with signals that are representative of a carbon monoxide level proximate the internal combustion engine that together form a trend of building carbon monoxide amounts over a set time interval.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Generac Power Systems, Inc.Inventors: Gregory A. Wischstadt, Adam M. Schroeder, Mitchell L. Horn, Brandon Schmidt, Kevin Cole, Tod R. Tesch

Patent number: 11818987Abstract: This invention is directed to a turf grooming deck configured for attachment to a lawn tractor and includes a deck member positioned between front and rear wheels of the lawn tractor and having an upper platform and a plurality of downwardly depending surfaces that, together, defines an interior area. A plurality of channels is mounted to a bottom surface of the upper platform and arranged in a diamond configuration. Further, the sidewalls define channel openings by which the channels are accessed. The turf grooming deck includes first and second brush modules, each brush module including a plurality of brush members, a first module including a plurality of metal tines and the second module including a plurality of push broom type bristles. The brush modules are interchangeable by insertion or removal thereof relative to respective channels via respective channel openings.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2023Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Inventors: Matthew Schmidt, Brandon Schmidt

Patent number: 11603958Abstract: Systems and methods for assembling structural components are disclosed wherein a selectively configurable fixture is placed on an assembly surface of an assembly table. An assembly table interface couples about a pin of a pin slot of the assembly table and, by means of linkage assembly, translates movement of the pin to a positioning member. The positioning member, by the translated movement of the pin, abuts an element of structural component and supports the element while a fastener is applied to join multiple elements of the structural component. A selectively configurable fixture may be used in isolation, or in combination with other fixtures.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2020Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: House of Design LLCInventors: Chris Brown, Shane Christopher Dittrich, Kristopher Ryan Okelberry, Michael Baker, Brandon Schmidt

Publication number: 20220365542Abstract: Systems and methods to accomplish a physical process are disclosed. The systems and methods can receive object data for an object that is a subject of the physical process; determine operation sequences that each accomplish a portion of the physical process, each operation sequence providing an ordering of a set of physical operations associated with one or more points of the object; generate an operation schedule specifying timing of performance of each operation sequence and a set of one or more sets of robots to perform each operation sequence; generate physical process data including the operation schedule and the one or more operation sequences; and communicate the physical process data to the one or more sets of robots to perform the one or more operation sequences according to the operation schedule.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2022Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventors: Shane Christopher Dittrich, Sean E. Ays, Mike Aaron Luna, Brandon Schmidt, Dean R. Mikel, Aaron V. Whetzel

Patent number: 10948264Abstract: A dual-emitter micro-dot sight comprising a sight housing configured to mount to a shooting device, a first and a second light emitter each coupled to the sight housing, a beam combiner, a collimating lens, and a diverging lens. The beam combiner is configured to receive light from each of the first and the second light emitters and to guide the light to an optical path. The collimating lens is in the optical path and is configured to collimate the light from each of the first and the second light emitters. The diverging lens is in the optical path between the beam combiner and the collimating lens, and the diverging lens is configured to spread the light from each of the first and the second light emitters. The dual-emitter micro-dot sight may include windage and elevation adjustment mechanisms that are separate and independent for each of the first and the second light emitters.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Sig Sauer, Inc.Inventors: Richard Bradley Brumfield, Brandon Schmidt
