Patent number: 10473400Abstract: There is provided a dispersion apparatus for use with a solid fuel burner. The dispersion apparatus comprises a passage through which particulate material may flow toward an outlet region for dispersal therefrom, the flow being at least in part rotational about the longitudinal axis of the passage. The dispersion apparatus also comprises a downstream guide means arranged within the passage at or near the outlet region, the downstream guide means configured to at least reduce the rotational motion so that the flow progresses toward the outlet region in a substantially uniform manner in a direction aligned with a longitudinal axis of the passage.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2014Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Hatch Pty Ltd.Inventors: Wesley Adam Taylor, Matthew George White

Patent number: 10392155Abstract: A method of preparing a container includes manipulating it from an open toward a fully closed configuration. In the open configuration, first and second top end flaps are folded outwardly such that a first pair of handle apertures defined in a first endwall and first top end flap are aligned and a second pair of handle apertures defined in the second endwall and second top end flap are aligned along a first direction. The manipulating step comprises: folding top side flaps inwardly along a second direction until the side flaps are substantially perpendicular to the endwalls, thereby at least partially covering a top opening of the container; and folding the end flaps inwardly until they are substantially parallel with the side flaps, wherein the top side flaps underlie the respective ones of the pairs of handle apertures that are defined in the first and second top end flaps.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2018Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Wesley Adams, Akshay Tilekar

Patent number: 10077018Abstract: A side curtain airbag assembly includes an inflatable cushion and a sock for housing the cushion in a folded state. At least one of the cushion and sock includes a plurality of spaced markings arrayed along its respective longitudinal extent. Each marking is defined by at least two indicia including a first indicium and a second indicium. Each of the first indicium and second indicium is formed from a plurality of similarly shaped and sized interconnected pixels which together provide for first and second indicia having a predetermined height and width.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2016Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: James Wesley Adams, Alec Peter Bacon, Scott A.

Patent number: 9376079Abstract: An automated vision inspection system detects whether a cushion of a side curtain airbag assembly system is twisted. The cushion is provided a plurality of markings arrayed along a longitudinal extent of the cushion. Each marking can be defined by a group of four distinct characters or indicia. Each indicium can be defined by polygonal shaped pixels which allow the inspection system to find clear edges of the marking and thereby determine marking orientation. By determining orientation, the inspection system can compare the inspected marking to a master image of the marking to determine if the cushion is in a twisted state or non-twisted state.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2013Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: James Wesley Adams, Alec Peter Bacon

Publication number: 20150271358Abstract: A method and a device are disclosed for luminous printing of an original image using fluorescent ink or other fluorescent display pigments. In some embodiments, the original image is separated into multiple layers, including at least a brightness layer and an inverse brightness (or darkness) layer, by applying extracted brightness data and inverse brightness data, to the original image, respectively. Each of the layers is associated with a set of corresponding printing channels. The sets of printing channels are applied by a printing device to print the original image on a print medium, such as paper, mylar, fabric, and other print surfaces. Multiple visual effects may be realized using the aforementioned process, including fluorescent images that are only visible under UV (Ultra Violet) or black light, images with high-fidelity colors under daylight and dark conditions, and shadow effects such as depth illusion.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2015Publication date: September 24, 2015Inventor: Wesley Adams
