Publication number: 20240174159Abstract: A clamp for securing a pair of snowmobile skis to a bed having an attached loop includes a main body comprising spaced apart plates configured to provide rigidity to the clamp and a hook. The clamp includes at least one moveable plate within the main body having a camming surface engaged with the hook, and an actuating mechanism proximate an end of the main body. The actuating mechanism is configured to position the clamp into an unclamped position wherein the hook is disengaged from the loop attached to the bed and a clamped position where the hook engages the loop and is configured to apply a downward force on the skis by moving the at least one actuator plate within the main body to raise the hook through engagement with the camming surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2023Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Ernest DeLanghe, Kasey Pipo, William Butterfield, George Runger, Steven Potter, Tyler Jacobson

Patent number: 11941595Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include systems and methods for executing a point of sale deposit. In one embodiment, a system may include one or more memory devices storing software instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the software instructions to receive transaction information related to a point of sale deposit from a client device, and generate a pending deposit transaction based on the transaction information. The one or more processors may be further configured to execute the software instructions to receive a first transaction token from the client device, receive a second transaction token from a third-party device, match the first transaction token to the second transaction token, and complete the pending deposit transaction based on the match.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Dennis Brennan, Steven Potter, Jonathan Witter

Publication number: 20240026905Abstract: An actuation pressure to actuate one or more hydraulic actuators may be determined based on a load on the one or more hydraulic actuators of a robotic device. Based on the determined actuation pressure, a pressure rail from among a set of pressure rails at respective pressures may be selected. One or more valves may connect the selected pressure rail to a metering valve. The hydraulic drive system may operate in a discrete mode in which the metering valve opens such that hydraulic fluid flows from the selected pressure rail through the metering valve to the one or more hydraulic actuators at approximately the supply pressure. Responsive to a control state of the robotic device, the hydraulic drive system may operate in a continuous mode in which the metering valve throttles the hydraulic fluid such that the supply pressure is reduced to the determined actuation pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Michael Murphy, John Aaron Saunders, Steven Potter

Publication number: 20210339811Abstract: A robotic device may traverse a path in a direction of locomotion. Sensor data indicative of one or more physical features of the environment in the direction of locomotion may be received. The implementation may further involve determining that traversing the path involves traversing the one or more physical features of the environment. Based on the sensor data indicative of the one or more physical features of the environment in the direction of locomotion, a hydraulic pressure to supply to the one or more hydraulic actuators to traverse the one or more physical features of the environment may be predicted. Before traversing the one or more physical features of the environment, the hydraulic drive system may adjust pressure of supplied hydraulic fluid from the first pressure to the predicted hydraulic pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2021Publication date: November 4, 2021Applicant: Boston Dynamics, Inc.Inventors: John Aaron Saunders, Michael Murphy, Steven Potter

System and method for joining and distributing a single optical fiber cable to multiple rack shelves
Patent number: 10345538Abstract: A breakout box, breakout box system, and method for management of optical fibers. The breakout box system provides a pass-through system for connecting optical fibers to network rack modules. The external routing of incoming and outgoing cables around the rack is kept neat and orderly, with one large cable serving a plurality of shelves. The breakout of the cable and distribution of the fibers to the individual modules occurs inside the breakout boxes and bridges, which provide protection for the fibers while still allowing easy access for fiber handling by means of the removable lids.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2017Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Sumitomo Electric Lightwave Corp.Inventors: Daniel Brian Hangebrauck, Craig Steven Potter, Daniel Frederick Oberklein, Patrick Stephen Van Vickle -
