Patent number: 11993458Abstract: There is disclosed a waste collecting device having a container for receiving waste therein. The container has an end wall and an ejector panel. The container encloses a waste receiving volume. The ejector panel has an opening therethrough for allowing access to the waste receiving volume for receiving the waste. The waste collecting device further has a compactor outside the waste receiving volume being operable for pushing the waste in the container through the opening. The ejector panel is movable within the waste receiving volume and relative to a floor of the container for pushing the waste out of the waste receiving volume. A method of operating a waste collecting device is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: The Heil Co.Inventors: Claude Boivin, Eric Boivin, Hugo Marsan

Patent number: 11932486Abstract: The mechanical arm system can include a garbage container holder and at least one mast. The holder can have guiding wheels engaged with adjacent tracks of the mast, the two adjacent tracks both having a lower portion extending upwardly along the mast, the lower portion of the first track being located forwardly of the lower portion of the second track, the lower portion of both tracks leading into corresponding upper portions which are curved rearwardly. The system can have a primary mast and a secondary mast slidably mounted to the primary mast, with the garbage container slidable mounted to the secondary mast. A driving link can simultaneously connect the primary mast to the secondary mast, and the secondary mast to the holder in a manner that when the driving link is moved, both sliding movements are performed in the same direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: The Heil Co.Inventors: Claude Boivin, Eric Boivin, Hugo Marsan

Publication number: 20220396425Abstract: A system for lifting and tipping a bin containing solid waste materials in a container body and for compacting the solid waste materials in the container body includes a motor, a packer plate, and at least one linkage assembly operatively connected to the motor. When the motor is operated, the at least one linkage assembly is configured for lifting the bin above the container body, tipping the bin, pivoting the packer plate from a retracted position to a compacting position and then from the compacting position to the retracted position, and lowering the bin back down. A solid waste materials collection and compaction container assembly has a container body and a system for lifting and tipping a bin in the container body, and for compacting solid waste materials in the container body.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2020Publication date: December 15, 2022Inventors: Eric BOIVIN, Shihao SHAO, Hugo MARSAN

Patent number: 6212653Abstract: In a state driven machine logically sub-divided into a plurality of blocks, with each block including a sub-set of a total number of process defining operating states and transition paths, plural records each relating to a certain execution are associated with each block. A log is maintained on a per execution basis of events (such as state transitions and actions) which occur for that execution. In one implementation, the log is maintained in each record to store events occurring for the certain execution within the block associated with that record. In another implementation, the log is maintained to store events occurring for the certain execution across all implicated blocks. Using the information stored in the log, it is possible to trace back along process execution to identify an origin of a fault in the process implemented by the state driven machine.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 1998Date of Patent: April 3, 2001Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Eric Boivin, Hanan Ahmed, Francois Prud'Homme, Vince Ragosta
