Publication number: 20210008919Abstract: A printable blank sheet includes a sheet with defined separation lines, a first layer with cuts running through the first layer along the defined separation lines, and a second layer attached to a bottom side of the first layer, with perforations running through the second layer along the defined separation lines. A method for creating custom print cards includes running a printable blank sheet through a printer to print on defined print areas, wherein the sheet includes slit-over-perforation lines defining a periphery of an object in the sheet, bending the sheet along the slit-over-perforation lines to weaken and separate the slit-over-perforation lines, and detaching the object from the sheet.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2020Publication date: January 14, 2021Inventor: Benjamin Todd Carroll

Publication number: 20200368992Abstract: A printable blank sheet includes a sheet with a top substrate and a bottom layer, a dry lift adhesive connecting the top substrate to the bottom layer, cut lines in the sheet that extend through the top substrate and the dry lift adhesive but not through the bottom layer, and an object with an intricate shape cut into the top substrate with a periphery of the object defined by the cut lines. The object can be removed from the sheet by separating the object and the bottom layer along the dry lift adhesive.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2020Publication date: November 26, 2020Inventor: Benjamin Todd Carroll

Patent number: 10549820Abstract: A method and system for heading control during ship-to-ship (STS) transfer of liquefied natural gas (LNG). A method for heading control during STS transfer of LNG while moored on a buoy includes berthing a floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) to a buoy at a forward end of the FSRU, holding a stern of the berthed FSRU at a first heading with a bow of the FSRU pointing into a current, docking an LNG carrier (LNGC) alongside the berthed FSRU, mooring the LNGC to the berthed FSRU in a double-banked configuration at the first heading, adjusting the first heading of the FSRU and moored LNGC to a second heading with the bow of the FSRU and a bow of the LNGC pointing into a swell, and transferring LNG from the LNGC to the FSRU while the FSRU and moored LNGC are pointed into the swell.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: Excelerate Energy Limited PartnershipInventors: Mark Kevin Lane, Charles Erwin Ruehl, Jr., Michael Todd Carroll

Publication number: 20190322073Abstract: A printable blank sheet includes a sheet with a first layer and a second layer attached to a bottom side of the first layer, slit-over-perforation line in the sheet, and an object held in the sheet. The slit-over-perforation lines define a periphery of the object in the sheet. The slit-over-perforation lines include cuts running through the first layer, and perforations running through the second layer underneath the cuts running through the first layer. A method for creating custom print objects includes running a printable blank sheet through a printer, wherein the sheet includes slit-over-perforation lines defining a periphery of an object in the sheet. The sheet is bent along the slit-over-perforation lines to weaken and separate the slit-over-perforation lines, and the object is detached from the sheet.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2019Publication date: October 24, 2019Inventors: Benjamin Todd Carroll, Andrew R.

Patent number: 10343369Abstract: A printable blank sheet includes a sheet with a first layer and a second layer attached to a bottom side of the first layer, slit-over-perforation line in the sheet, and an object held in the sheet. The slit-over-perforation lines define a periphery of the object in the sheet. The slit-over-perforation lines include cuts running through the first layer, and perforations running through the second layer underneath the cuts running through the first layer. A method for creating custom print objects includes running a printable blank sheet through a printer, wherein the sheet includes slit-over-perforation lines defining a periphery of an object in the sheet. The sheet is bent along the slit-over-perforation lines to weaken and separate the slit-over-perforation lines, and the object is detached from the sheet.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2016Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Blank Acquisition, LLCInventors: Benjamin Todd Carroll, Andrew R.

Publication number: 20190193817Abstract: A natural gas liquefaction vessel including an increased deadweight tonnage, as compared to a liquefied natural gas carrier (LNGC) of a comparably-sized ship, is achieved by reducing the LNGC's cargo capacity. This difference creates room on the port and starboard sides of cargo tanks to increase the size of the adjacent wing tanks. The increased size of the wing tanks occupy the space created by the reduced cargo tank size of the vessel and may support a larger upper trunk deck. The ballast wing tanks and smaller cargo tanks increase the deadweight available. With this approach, the larger upper trunk deck of the vessel is able to support an efficient floating liquefaction plant that improves the LNG value chain because it is capable of producing 2.0-3.0 MTPA in the footprint of a standard vessel hull, such as for example a Q-Max hull.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2017Publication date: June 27, 2019Inventors: Michael Todd Carroll, Graeme David Trotter, Trevor Earl Wilkinson, Kenneth Hugh McGeachie

Publication number: 20190185203Abstract: A printable blank comprises a sheet with a with outline perforation lines defining a periphery of an object. The sheet is capable of being passed through a printer to have an image printed on it. The sheet also comprises run-out perforation lines extending from the periphery to edges of the sheet, wherein the sheet can be folded along the run-out perforations to detach the object from the sheet. A method for creating custom print structures includes running a printable blank sheet through a printer and then bending the sheet along run-out perforation lines to detach an object from the sheet. The object can then be folded along scored fold lines to assemble it into a three-dimensional structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2019Publication date: June 20, 2019Inventor: Benjamin Todd Carroll
