Publication number: 20240116720Abstract: A vacuum powered pickup tool with mechanically moveable discrete nozzles allows for selective activation of the nozzles through the mechanical movement of the nozzles relative to a vacuum manifold. The movement of a nozzle from an inactive position where an inlet port of the nozzle is fluidly decoupled with the vacuum manifold to an active position where the inlet port is fluidly coupled with the vacuum manifold allows for independent activation of discrete nozzles of the pickup tool. Aspects also contemplate varying an associate manifold through movement of the manifolds accessible to the inlet port of the nozzle when in the active position.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Adam Montoya, Raymundo Alatorre Mercado

Patent number: 11956751Abstract: A system and method for generating amorphous randomized and/or fuzzy logic dynamic display icons that visually communicate to its users and/or entities that a subject's geographic location is being obfuscated on a graphical mapping interface of the user's computing device by way of continuously generating a dynamic location display icon having amorphous and/or asymmetrical shape, size, position, color, opacity, outline, movement, and/or transformation rate, and displaying the generated dynamic display icon on the graphical mapping interface.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Glowstik, Inc.Inventor: Adam Montoya Marez

Patent number: 11872796Abstract: The pressing of an article is achieved with a closed-loop feedback press. The closed-loop feedback press is effective to measure an amount of pressure applied and adjust the pressure to achieve a prescribed amount of compression on the article. Further, the press may leverage a closed-loop feedback system to maintain a consistent temperature of one or more platens. The press is able to adjust a pressure applied one or more times during a pressing operation to accelerate a temperature change in the pressed article while reducing the pressure applied as the temperature approaches a target temperature to limit unintentional deformation and bleeding of the pressed material of the article.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2022Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Hancock, Nicolai Luksza, Adam Montoya, Charles W. Morrison, Daniel Black Thayer

Patent number: 11383948Abstract: Maintaining a level of tension on material as it is processed in a manufacturing operation assists in the processing of the material. The tension of the material as it is fed through a process station is maintained by a material sag portion, such as an unsupported portion of the material extending between a roll of the material and the process station. The formation of the sag portion and the loading of the material forming the sag portion are automated and adjusted with a system having a material storage retrieval system, a shuttle, a tensioning device, and/or a processing station.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2019Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Adam Montoya, Stephen Hancock

Patent number: 10791792Abstract: Aspects hereof relate to a method for coupling a cemented upper to a sole of an article of footwear. Pairs of clamps secure a sole at a forefoot region and a heel region to prevent movement of a location of the sole upon application of a perimeter deforming force. Perimeter deforming implements apply such force to a bottom surface of the secured sole causing the perimeter of the top surface of the sole to splay open outwardly from the longitudinal axis of the sole. While the top surface of the perimeter is splayed, a cemented upper is caused to contact the top surface of the sole in a longitudinal direction from the heel end to the toe end. Once in place, the force on the bottom surface of the secured sole and the clamps is released leaving the top surface of the sole properly adhered to the upper.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2019Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Jason Davila, Stephen Hancock, Adam Montoya
