Patent number: 11377863Abstract: An aggregate panel system comprising in one example: a rigid first panel having: a first side comprising a fluid impermeable, non-porous outer layer; a second side facing a first base wall to which the first panel is attached. Also disclosed is at least one optional panel brace fixed to the second side of the first panel and extending toward the base wall, the panel brace configured to increase rigidity of the first panel. An aggregate fill (e.g. concrete) is then poured or otherwise disposed between the first panel and the first base wall to fill the region therebetween. The aggregate fill configured to harden to a solid aggregate fill and thus structurally support both the base wall and the rigid panel.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Predl Systems North America Inc.Inventors: Jed Christopher Friesen, Andrew Jackman

Patent number: 9770143Abstract: This disclosure relates to a dispenser which in one embodiment is a motorized electric dispenser that reliably detects a request for a portion of product and electromechanically dispenses a pre-determined length of product to the user, without the user needing to directly touch any part of the dispenser. The dispenser comprises a product path passing between an engagement opening and a capacitive sensor. A controller is operatively configured to identify a dispense request based upon a detection signal received from the capacitive sensor and activate a drive motor upon the identification of the dispense request. The dispense request is defined as an introduction of a user target within an introduction threshold distance from the capacitive sensor followed by a removal of the user target beyond a removal threshold distance away from the capacitive sensor.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2011Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: DISPENSING DYNAMICS INTERNATIONAL LTD.Inventors: Lockland Corley, Andrew Jackman, Alex Trampolski, Richard Ybo Lalau, Damir Wallener

Publication number: 20140326264Abstract: A micro toothed cap device with a cavity can penetrate through a hair weave to exfoliate and stimulate the scalp. The device can be used to apply medicated products directly into the hard-to-reach areas under a hair weave to easily access the scalp. The device is small enough to penetrate to the undergrowth under the plaits, cornrows and wefts, allowing the scalp to be exfoliated, cleansed and treated properly without shifting the weft out of place.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2014Publication date: November 6, 2014Inventors: Annalica Michele Kong, Josiah Andrew Jackman
