Patent number: 8341091Abstract: A computer system may manage orders for goods from a plurality of purchasers. The computer system may receive the orders, calculate an approximate volume that the goods which are the subject of each order would collectively occupy during shipment, and compare each calculated approximate volume to a pre-determine maximum allowed volume that the purchaser of the order is permitted. The computer system may accept each order whose approximate volume does not exceed the maximum allowed volume for the purchaser of the order, or reject each order whose approximate volume exceeds this maximum allowed volume.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2008Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Bruce Smith, Chuck Hamilton, Stephen D.

Patent number: 7276264Abstract: Systems and methods for applying a coating to an interior surface of a conduit. In one embodiment, a spray gun configured to apply a coating is attached to an extension arm which may be inserted into the bore of a pipe. The spray gun may be a thermal spray gun adapted to apply a powder coating. An evacuation system may be used to provide a volume area of reduced air pressure for drawing overspray out of the pipe interior during coating. The extension arm as well as the spray gun may be cooled to maintain a consistent temperature in the system, allowing for more consistent coating.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2005Date of Patent: October 2, 2007Assignee: Battelle Energy Alliance, LLCInventors: Karen A.
