Patent number: 11839915Abstract: A laser power control method for additive manufacturing includes a pre-processing component and an intra-processing component. The pre-processing component creates in the system controller a machine code expressed additive-path-with-geometry-metadata that includes a path description. The path description represents the path of the beam source on the build and includes a geometry index for the build. The intra-processing component calculates required power for the beam at intervals and events on the beam path based upon the additive-path-with-geometry-metadata and calculations of the energy balance at the melt pool and the total energy for each point P(s) on the path.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2021Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Product Innovation and Engineering LLCInventor: Todd Eugene Sparks

Patent number: 10945381Abstract: A pole saw apparatus includes a saw blade, a pole, and a tubular adapter connecting the saw blade to the pole. The adapter includes an obround blade-receiving end that stably telescopingly engage sides of the blade-receiving end, with bolts fixing the blade on the adapter. The adapter also includes a pole-engaging end that is cylindrically shaped to telescopingly engage the anchoring end of the pole. A friction clamp includes a transverse shaft extending through the pole, the shaft being shaped to slide into longitudinal slots in the pole-engaging end of the adapter and then rotate into circumferential slots where it is not longitudinally removable. A rotatable cam handle on the clamp is manipulated to create circumferential friction to hold (or release) the adapter on the pole. The blade, adapter and pole align along a common centerline for robust and balanced use.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2018Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: OUTDOOR PRODUCT INNOVATIONS, INC.Inventor: Todd Pringnitz

Patent number: 10881197Abstract: The current document is directed to a new type of grill-cleaning tool that includes one or more scrapers as well as freely sliding scraping pins that conform to the surfaces of a grill to assist the one or more scrapers in removing grease and cooking debris from the surfaces of the grill. The scraping pins are rigid pins, made from durable materials, with scraping-pin shafts generally having diameters or widths of 2 mm or more, as a result of which the scraping pins are not susceptible to shedding and breakage during normal cleaning operations. In addition, unlike brush bristles, the scraping pins are spaced apart from one another and have relatively low surface-area to scraping-pin-number ratios, which decreases the tendency of the scraping pins to become clogged with grease and cooking debris relative to metal brush bristles and greatly facilitates cleaning grease and cooking debris from the grill-cleaning tool.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2017Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: RYLANDS PRODUCT INNOVATIONS LLCInventor: Dusty Rylands

Patent number: 10632566Abstract: A method for controlling, during metal processing, the input energy from an energy point source that directs focused emitted energy onto a metal workpiece having a geometry, wherein the directed focused emitted energy creates a melt pool and hot zone on the workpiece that emit radiation during the process. The method comprises determining a wavelength range for the emitted radiation that is within a spectral range of radiation emitted by the hot zone during processing that is comparatively high in amount in relation to the amount of radiation emitted by the melt pool in that spectral range during processing; directing the beam onto the workpiece to generate a melt pool and hot zone on the structure; measuring the intensity of radiation within the determined wavelength range; and adjusting the input energy from the energy point source based upon the measured intensity of radiation within the determined wavelength range.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2014Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Product Innovation and Engineering L.L.C.Inventor: Todd Eugene Sparks
