Patent number: 10533484Abstract: An outboard marine propulsion system with a closed loop lower unit heat exchanger is described. The closed loop lower unit heat exchanger provides improved cooling to outboard marine propulsion units and increases engine life compared with traditional open loop cooling systems, particularly in harsh environments such as salt water, brackish water, swamp, shallow or sediment and debris rich water. The closed loop lower unit heat exchanger also provides improved performance to the outboard marine propulsion system when mounted to an appropriate portion of the lower unit of the outboard marine engine such as the anti-cavitation plate.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2019Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Global Packaging Systems, LLCInventors: Thomas Charles Coller, Steven Donald Bush

Patent number: 10364010Abstract: A marine propulsion unit is described. The marine propulsion unit allows for shallow, obstructed, or otherwise impeded operation of a vessel through a novel marine propulsion transfer unit that is, or can be, mechanically coupled to an outboard motor or other similar marine motor. A mount for raising and lowering the marine propulsion unit in a generally vertical direction allows for adjustment of operating depth of the marine propulsion unit to accommodate a wide range of operating conditions from shallow and obstructed water to traditional deep water operation.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2016Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Global Packaging Systems, LLCInventors: Thomas Charles Coller, Steven Donald Bush, Keith Raymond Woerner

Publication number: 20170254102Abstract: A brick laying system where an operator such as a mason works proximate a moveable platform having a robotic arm assembly, a mortar applicator with a mortar transfer device, and a brick transfer device to build structures. The robotically assisted brick laying system may also contain a stabilizer having a disturbance sensing and a disturbance correcting component that provides compensation for disturbances caused by load shifting, movement of the platform, wind, operator movement, and the like. In addition, the robotically assisted brick laying system has a sensing and positioning component for controlling placement of the moveable platform and robotic arm assembly. The interoperability of the system with a mason or skilled operator removes much of the manual labor component of brick laying, allowing the mason more time to focus on craftsmanship and quality, thus improving the end product and the overall working conditions of the mason.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2017Publication date: September 7, 2017Applicant: Construction Robotics, LLCInventors: Scott Lawrence Peters, Nathan Podkaminer, Thomas Charles Coller

Publication number: 20150321948Abstract: A process and system for applying coating materials to glass edges of various profiles. The glass edge is coated by picking up the coating material from an applicator such as, for example, a roller, through precise independent or relative control of the spatial relationship between the edge of the glass article and the applicator to achieve desirable product attributes such as coating thickness, profile, coverage areas and consistency. Such spatial relationships include the gap distance between the roller and applicator, coating thickness on the applicator, applicator and/or glass speed, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2013Publication date: November 12, 2015Inventors: Donald Orrin Bigelow, Thomas Charles Coller, Scott Winfield Deming, Curtis Robert Fekety, Mark Stephen Friske, Gregory William Keyes, Hongkyu Kim, Hideki Masaki, Michael George Schultz, Ian David Tracy
