Patent number: 11920538Abstract: An anti-polish ring for an internal combustion engine is provided. The anti-polish ring includes an axially extending ring portion that is configured to scrape a top portion of a piston in a cylinder liner. The anti-polish ring is configured to accommodate passage of an intake or exhaust valve thereby. The anti-polish ring may include an alignment feature so that the anti-polish ring is inserted in a predetermined orientation in the cylinder. The anti-polish ring may include a heat shield and/or a seating member.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Cummins Inc.Inventors: Owen Summerfield, Craig Daniel Fox, Robert Harries, Jamie Kehoe, Kent H.

Patent number: 10066709Abstract: A mounting alignment apparatus may include a rail assembly including a first pair of alignment surfaces. The mounting alignment apparatus may also include a slide assembly including a second pair of alignment surfaces. The first and second pairs of alignment surfaces may define an interacting capturing geometry therebetween, permitting sliding movement of the slide assembly relative to the rail assembly along a first axis, and restricting movement of the slide assembly relative to the rail assembly about an axis other than the first axis. The mounting alignment apparatus may also include a tension adjustment assembly coupled between the rail assembly and the slide assembly for positioning the slide assembly relative to the rail assembly along the first axis.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2016Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: FNA Group, Inc.Inventors: Alan Michael Greer, Bradley Kent Daniel, Gus Alexander

Publication number: 20140012859Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for delivering content to users. In one embodiment, a computer system obtains text associated with a content item, where the text comprises: text from a transcript associated with a content item, when available; text from a web feed (e.g., an RSS feed, etc.) associated with the content item, when available; text from a webpage associated with the content item, when available; and text that is returned from a call to an application programming interface (API) of a provider of the content item, when available. The computer system then determines a set of entities based on the obtained text.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2012Publication date: January 9, 2014Applicant: AGOGO Amalgamated, Inc.Inventors: J.D. Heilprin, Ernst Schoen-Rene, Robert Manson, Damian Hites, Kent Daniels

Patent number: 7061865Abstract: Data switching systems for use in ATM and other packet and cell switching networks can more smoothly switch data if incoming data packets to be switched are re-ordered to avoid overwhelming an output port with too many consecutive packets to a particular destination. An apparatus and method for simply re-ordering data samples in a non-consecutive manner is computationally efficient and effective.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2001Date of Patent: June 13, 2006Assignee: Tellabs Operations, Inc.Inventors: Robert Bradford Magill, Kent Daniel Benson, Terry Jon Hrabik

Publication number: 20040232039Abstract: A packaging blank capable of forming a multi-purpose shipping and display container comprises in one embodiment a bottom panel, first and second side panels connected to opposing edges of the bottom panel, a back panel connected to the bottom panel, first and second divider support panels connected to the side panels, first and second divider panels connected to the side panels by the divider support panels, and first and second side reinforcement panels connected to the side panels opposite the divider support panels. Upon construction the packaging blank provides a multi-purpose shipping and display container having more than one internal compartment that is convertible into an open-sided tray. A method of packaging articles comprises in one embodiment the steps of folding the blank to form a container having more than one internal compartment, positioning the articles in the compartments, and removably securing a lid to the container.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2003Publication date: November 25, 2004Inventor: Hollis Kent Daniels

Patent number: 6609399Abstract: A cable lock comprising a housing, a cable anchored to the housing, and a cable passageway through the housing for receiving the free end of the cable includes a cable clamping member and a key operated cam assembly which the lock is selectively operable for introducing the free end of the cable into either of the opposite ends of the cable passageway, for enabling displacement of the free end only in the direction of introduction through the passageway, for precluding displacement of the cable in either of the opposite directions in the passageway, and for releasing the cable for movement freely in both of the opposite directions. The mounted end of the cable is pivotally displaceable between positions in which the mounting end extends toward the side of the housing on which the selected entrance end of the passageway is located.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1999Date of Patent: August 26, 2003Assignee: Winner International Royalty LLCInventor: E.
