Patent number: 11926035Abstract: A mobile robot with one or more deployable scanning wands that advantageously mounts each scanning wand for movement from a storage position in or adjacent to a wall of the mobile base unit to a deployed position extending outwardly from the robot adjacent ground level. Preferably, the robot includes two or more deployable scanning wands and a holonomic drive function is provided in the mobile base unit. This drive allows controlled linear and rotational movement of the robot to provide an effective scan area. Sensors can be provided in the sides of the mobile base for assistance in control of the drive and/or further scanning of a vehicle, trailer or object of interest.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: CrossWing Inc.Inventors: Stephen Sutherland, Philippe Guillaumont, Daniel Sutherland

Patent number: 10927331Abstract: A detergent pouch may be made from a dissolvable paper which completely dissolves upon contact with liquid water thereby releasing the detergent contained within the pouch. The dissolvable paper may be a Cellulose gum such as Carboxymethyl Cellulose. The dissolvable paper is free from any coloring, dyes, impurities and other toxins. The detergent may be laundry detergent such as Sodium Carbonate, C12-15 Pareth-2, and Sodium Metasilicate which is free from any fillers, perfumes, coloring agents, or brighteners. The paper pouch and the powder detergent may be safe for septic wastewater treatment systems, biodegradable, and hypoallergenic. The paper pouch may be non-toxic.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2017Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: SUTHERLAND PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Charles T. Sutherland, III, Stuart Morgan Sutherland, James Richard Daniel Sutherland, Marc Alan Mason

Publication number: 20210039582Abstract: An apparatus for helping to protect an occupant of a vehicle includes a curtain airbag rolled about a central longitudinal axis. A pair of longitudinally extending creases are formed on the rolled curtain airbag. Each of the creases extend from an outer surface of the rolled curtain airbag inward toward the central longitudinal axis of the rolled curtain airbag. A method for packaging a curtain airbag of a vehicle safety system includes rolling the curtain airbag about a central longitudinal axis. Creases are formed in radially opposite, longitudinally extending portions of an outer surface of the rolled curtain airbag inward toward the central longitudinal axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2019Publication date: February 11, 2021Inventors: Richard Patton, Dylan Moran, Daniel Sutherland

Publication number: 20190329418Abstract: A security robot comprises a mobile base module with a head module supported in a raised position centrally above the mobile base. The head module includes an upwardly opening cavity interior thereto that receives an inter-changeable payload bucket unit. The inter-changeable payload bucket has a displaceable cap member movable between a closed position and an elevated position. The cap member in the closed position closes an upper surface of the payload bucket and conceals any payload enclosed therein. The cap member in the elevated position is positioned above and allows top access to any payload located in the payload bucket unit. Preferably, the mobile base is provided with a holonomic drive arrangement. An elevating platform can also be associated with the cap member and can support sensors and/or conflict devices. The ability to easily alter the payload increases the possible applications and/or allows for multipurpose applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2017Publication date: October 31, 2019Applicant: CROSSWING INC.Inventors: Stephen SUTHERLAND, Philippe Guillaumont, Daniel SUTHERLAND
