Publication number: 20240166450Abstract: An inspection apparatus, for inspection of cased goods, includes at least one conveyor, at least one camera for capturing case image data of each of the cased goods advanced with the at least one conveyor past the inspection apparatus, and a processor configured to receive the case image data from the at least one camera. The processor is configured to characterize, from the case image data, a case exterior protrusion of the case good as a case flap in open condition, wherein the processor is configured to resolve the case image data and determine the case exterior protrusion is a coherent planar surface, and is programmed with a parameter array of physical characteristic parameters that describe case flap coherency attributes determinative of the coherent planar surface defining an open case flap condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Christian SIMON, William LÉGARÉ, Samy METARI, Alexandre DUMAIS

Publication number: 20240116742Abstract: Various embodiments include a filling apparatus that can be connected to a valve on a keg, such as a Sankey-D valve, and can be used to pour alcohol and other liquids into the keg, which may be pre-filled with a non-alcoholic drink mix. The filling apparatus has an upper structure which is coupled to a lower portion configured to mate with a keg valve. The filling apparatus may be designed to depress portions of the keg valve to allow for both filling and venting of the keg simultaneously. The filling apparatus may further be designed with features to prevent liquid escape during degassing of the keg. The filling apparatus may include a Sankey-D coupler or a coupler with a probe portion as the lower body portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: William RAY, Don RAY, Benjamin Simon, Robert Cardoze, Nick Marcolini, Bora Gulari

Patent number: 11724291Abstract: Treatment technology directed to using mine waste as a raw material to manufacture a mine filling product for use as a suitable precursor product or mine filling product to be used as a backfill material to close a mine. The precursor product or mine filling product retains its metals and is not be able to generate acidity. According to the disclosure, the precursor product or mine filling product, when placed in a mine, may also remove metals from mine fluids in the mine it contacts, and still retain the metals it hosted when it was a mine waste prior to it being used as a raw material to manufacture the precursor stowing backfill product.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Yost Brothers, LLCInventors: Karl William Yost, William Simon, Richard Wayne Alexander

Patent number: 10788399Abstract: Systems and methods for determining turbine engine system stability encompass measuring or otherwise determining values of performance parameters, storing a data set of such values in memory, generating a stability indicator, and displaying the stability indicator on an operator interface. The stability indicator is generated by a processor operating in data communication with the computer memory, utilizing customized software algorithms to remove high frequency components, apply an adaptive filter to adjust selected parameters according to a target value of a selected target parameter, and apply a stochastic filters to estimate true values of the selected parameters, based on the remaining variation.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2019Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Aero Systems Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Dean Frederick Long, Kenneth William Simon, Grant August Radinzel

Patent number: 9308970Abstract: A momentum altering system comprises a transportation device configured to transport the momentum altering system towards an object moving through water. An engagement device is configured to attach to the object when the momentum altering system is transported sufficiently near the object. At least one decelerating device is connected to the engagement device. At least one decelerating device is deployed by the engagement device after the engagement device attached to the object. At least one decelerating device includes a plurality of parachute sea anchors that produce drag when pulled though water thereby altering momentum of the object.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2013Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: SRI InternationalInventors: Paul Robert Gefken, Adam Arnold Edward Ziemba, Jeffrey Williams Simons, Dennis Leigh Holeman

Patent number: RE44458Abstract: Breaching access structure 10S provides easy access to sealed interior 10I containing contents 10C. Access region 12A proximate edge 12E of package 10, provides entrance into the interior and access to the contents. Band seal 14 formed by upper lamina 14U and lower lamina 14L extends along the access region, enclosing breaching bubble 16. The band seal has inner seal portion 14I between the bubble and the interior, and outer seal portion 14O between the bubble and edge 12E of the package. The bubble is expandable to open the package in response to bursting detonator 18. The detonator is burst by external pressure applied by a user. Opposed pair of peel flaps, upper flap 16U and lower flap 16L, are formed by the opposed laminae of the outer seal along the edge breach as the bubble breaches. These small initial flaps are grasped by the user and manually peeled apart to initiate opening the band seal.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2010Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Inventor: William Simon Perell
