Patent number: 12286798Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a clip system and methods for using same for the attachment of finish panels to modular walls. The clip system includes a lower portion for attachment to the modular wall, an upper portion with a receptacle for attaching the panel, and a middle portion connecting the upper and lower portions. The middle portion further allows movement between portions so that the clip system can be expanded in two axial directions for precise panel placement. Further panels can be adjusted about the upper portion in a third axial direction. Thus, the clip system facilitates panel positioning and attachment in an exact, three-dimensional location on the modular wall.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2023Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: BLOX, LLCInventors: Chris Giattina, John Easton

Patent number: 8769786Abstract: A combination trimming/flame treatment end effector adapted for mounting to the end of a robotic arm. A trimming blade extends from a main body portion of the end effector for performing a trimming operation. The trimming blade may be mounted in an exchangeable cartridge to facilitate blade changing. Also extending from the main body portion is a flame treatment element for performing a flame treatment operation. The flame treatment element generally comprises a torch or burner. Because both the trimming blade and the flame treatment element are part of the same end effector, the robot simply manipulates the end effector such that the desired one of the trimming blade or the flame treatment element is properly positioned for use. As such, a tooling change can be avoided. While not restricted thereto, it is contemplated that an end effector of the present invention may be used to process vehicle bumper fascias.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2009Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryan Alexander, Lonnie Thompson, Rob Howells, Erik Aisel, Darin Wells, Gary Flavell, Chris Easton, Diana Bush

Publication number: 20110014097Abstract: A system and method for producing molybdenum oxide(s) from molybdenum sulfide are disclosed. The system includes a pressure leach vessel, a solid-liquid separation stage coupled to the pressure leach vessel, a solvent-extraction stage coupled to the solid-liquid separation stage, and a base stripping stage coupled to the solvent-extraction stage. The method includes providing a molybdenum sulfide feed, subjecting the feed to a pressure leach process, subjecting pressure leach process discharge to a solid-liquid separation process to produce a discharge liquid stream and a discharge solids stream, and subjecting the discharge liquid stream to a solvent extraction and a base strip process.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2010Publication date: January 20, 2011Applicant: FREEPORT-MCMORAN CORPORATIONInventors: Peter Amelunxen, John C. Wilmot, Chris Easton, Wayne W. Hazen

Publication number: 20060173672Abstract: The disclosed technology can execute a sequence of transactions to process a request associated with a health care company and/or other entities interacting in a health care industry. Execution of at least some of the transaction sequence can result in the formation of an instance of a semantic network that can be used to support such processing. The request can correspond to a change in a relationship associated with such entities, where such request corresponds to an electronic document exhibiting a structured natural language format with a fixed context and a fixed grammar.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2003Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventors: Heather Bergeron, Chris Easton, Andrew Kennedy, James Kennedy, Doug Koen, Eugene Krylov, John Morris, Jayant Pai, Alon Peled, Simone Pringle, John Trustman, Lyubomir Vujisic, Andre Yoshida

Publication number: 20050033583Abstract: The disclosed technology can identify indicia associated with different entity types that interact within an industry, identify one or more relationships (e.g., contractual provisions) that can affect interactions between such entity types, and identify transactions associated with one or more of the interactions. Further, the identified transactions can be organized into one or more transaction sequences. The identified indicia, the one or more identified relationships, and the one or more transaction sequences can then be associated to form a semantic network. An instance of the semantic network can be formed in response to the execution of at least some of the transaction sequence and can serve, at least in part, as the basis for processing requests associated with the entities. The requests can correspond to interactions associated with the entities and may be represented in a natural language format, exhibiting a fixed context and a fixed grammar.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2003Publication date: February 10, 2005Inventors: Heather Bergeron, Chris Easton, Kunjan Jhaveri, Andrew Kennedy, James Kennedy, Jayant Pai, Alon Peled, Simone Pringle, Benjamin Sprecher, John Trustman

Publication number: 20050033605Abstract: The disclosed technology can identify indicia associated with different entity types (e.g., health care companies, health care suppliers, health care practitioners, etc.) that interact within a health care industry, identify one or more relationships (e.g., contractual provisions) that can affect interactions between such entity types, and identify transactions associated with one or more of the interactions. Further, the identified transactions can be organized into one or more transaction sequences. The identified indicia, the one or more identified relationships, and the one or more transaction sequences can then be associated to form a semantic network. An instance of the semantic network can be formed based, at least in part, on a detection of at least one interaction associated with the entities.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2003Publication date: February 10, 2005Inventors: Heather Bergeron, Chris Easton, Andrew Kennedy, James Kennedy, Doug Koen, Eugene Krylov, John Morris, Jayant Pai, Alon Peled, Simone Pringle, John Trustman, Lyubomir Vujisic, Andre Yoshida
