Patent number: 11919830Abstract: Processes capable of producing bulk materials suitable for use by the horticulture industry, resulting bulk materials produced thereby, and applications for these processes and materials. Preferred bulk materials have physical properties similar to peat moss and comprise individual materials, each at least partially having a twisted, curled, clumped and rolled structure. The individual materials may further comprise small granular particles dispersed throughout the twisted, curled, clumped and rolled structure. The individual materials may be rolled fibers such that the bulk material has physical properties similar to sphagnum peat moss so as to be particularly suitable as, for example, a soil conditioner, an absorbent material, a chemical carrier, or a filtering material. Alternatively, the individual materials may be rolled particles such that the bulk material has physical properties similar to milled peat moss so as to be particularly suitable as propagation media.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: PITTMOSS LLCInventors: Mont Andrew Handley, Matt Collins Knapp, Mark David Goldman

Patent number: 7480060Abstract: An optical position encoder employs spatial filtering of diffraction orders other than +/? 1st diffraction orders for greater accuracy. The encoder includes a light source, a scale including a diffractive scale pattern, an optical detector adjacent to the scale, and first and second spaced-apart diffraction gratings between the light source and the scale. The gratings and scale are configured to spatially separate +/? 1st diffraction orders from other diffraction orders and to direct the +/? 1st diffraction orders along respective optical paths. The optical paths diverge from the first grating to respective locations on the second grating that are separated by more than the beam width of the source light beam. The optical paths further converge from the locations on the second grating to an area of the scale adjacent to the detector, and then extend from the area of the scale to the detector to create an interference pattern as a function of the relative position between the scale and the light source.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2007Date of Patent: January 20, 2009Assignee: GSI Group CorporationInventor: Andrew Goldman

Patent number: 7343693Abstract: A flexible optical marker is applied to an optical scale substrate to make an optical scale assembly for an optical position encoder. The marker may be a limit marker, index marker, or other type of marker. The marker substrate may be a plastic film such as polyester, singulated from a “recombine” roll created by a web process. The marker has a microstructured pattern on one surface that is covered with a reflective metal coating. The marker also has an adhesive layer and is affixed to the optical scale substrate by a process of aligning the marker to an edge of the scale and then applying pressure to the upper surface of the marker. The marker may be applied with a handle portion that is separated from the marker after the marker is affixed. The marker may be especially useful with a flexible scale substrate such as a metal tape substrate.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2006Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: GSI Group CorporationInventors: Donald K. Mitchell, Donald L. Grimes, William G. Thorburn, Stuart A. Dodson, II, Keith M. Hinrichs, Andrew Goldman, Joel M. Petersen, Christopher C. Rich
