Patent number: 10138613Abstract: An anchor member, spacers, nuts, anchor kits and methods of utilizing the same are provided. The anchor member has a threaded second end configured for engagement by a nut. In use, a first end of the anchor member is inserted in the ground with the second end extending out of the ground, such as through an aperture in a plate. One or more spacers are located over the anchor member. The nut is threaded onto the second end of the anchor member into engagement with the spacer(s). The threaded length of the second end of the anchor member and the length of the nut are selected to ensure a minimum desired contact distance and, in one embodiment, permit adjustability relative to the spacers.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2016Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Inventors: Eng Kiat Tng, Carrick Pierce

Publication number: 20170004575Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to facilitating the dissemination of order status information to market participants from an Exchange. According to one or more disclosed embodiments, a system or method is provided for monitoring one or more thinly traded products and/or markets and converting the exchange-based order information of a given product or market into instant messages to market participants. When the status of one or more monitored products or markets changes, an instant message is generated reflecting those changes in the market. The instant messages are disseminated to all market participants who have registered interest in the monitored product.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2015Publication date: January 5, 2017Inventors: Manik Repaka, James Bradley, Baris Mestanogullari, Dan Judson, Paul Bauerschmidt, Russell Karas, Carrick Pierce, Yu Sang Kwan

Patent number: 9506250Abstract: An assembly for connecting a first rebar segment and a second rebar segment. The assembly includes a first wedge and second wedge, each defining a hollow for receiving the first and second rebar segments, respectively. A first barrel and a second barrel each define a passage for receiving the first and second wedges, respectively. The passages are tapered for mating engagement with the wedges for driving the wedges radially inwardly in response to the wedges being in the passages and axially engaged by the barrels to tighten the wedges about the rebar segments. A cap defines an opening, a stopping surface, and a channel that extends axially between the opening and the stopping surface, receiving the first and second barrels in axial alignment with one another. A coupling connects the cap and one of the barrels, inhibiting axial movement of the barrels out of the channel of the cap.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Inventors: Robert Gilling, Carrick Pierce, Eng Kiat Tng, Shuangyou Liu, Brent Bennett

Patent number: 9441375Abstract: A bar sealing apparatus includes a hollow, cylindrical intermediate end cap. The end cap has a fitting disposed within an opening. The sealing apparatus further has a hollow, cylindrical terminal end cap and a hollow, cylindrical sleeve that is configured to surround the bar. Internal threads or other fasteners of the fitting may be threaded onto the bar, and internal threads or other fasteners of the intermediate end cap and internal threads or other fasteners of the terminal end cap may be threaded onto external threads or other fasteners of the sleeve. The intermediate end cap, terminal end cap, and sleeve facilitate grout to fill a space between each of the intermediate end cap, terminal end cap, sleeve, and the bar.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2015Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Inventor: Carrick Pierce

Patent number: 9062457Abstract: A method and assembly for anchoring a segment of rebar and a plate to a mass. The assembly includes a barrel extending about and along an axis and defining a bore extending therethrough along the axis with the bore being tapered. A wedge having a frustoconical shape extends about and along the axis. The wedge is tapered in conformity with the bore of the barrel for being received by the barrel. A cap is connected to the barrel for closing the barrel. The method includes the step threadedly tightening the cap about the barrel in axial abutment to close the barrel, and further the step of compressing the wedge axially into the bore of the barrel to drive the wedge radially inwardly to provide for a biasing force of the wedge against the rebar prior to said step of threadedly tightening the cap about the barrel.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2014Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Inventors: Robert Gilling, Carrick Pierce, Eng Kiat Tng, Shuangyou Liu, Brent Bennett
