Publication number: 20240125067Abstract: An auger housing as part of a snowthrower or part of a snowthrower implement for attachment with a vehicle. The auger housing may include a rear wall and spaced-apart first and second sidewalls connected to one another by the rear wall to define a front-facing collection opening. The rear wall may define a lower edge extending between the first and second sidewalls along a transverse direction. The auger housing may also include an oscillating scraper connected to the lower edge of the rear wall. The oscillating scraper extends downwardly from the lower edge toward a ground surface and is configured to move relative to the rear wall in a reciprocating motion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Derek S. Duchscherer, Todd A. Porter, Paul F. Koltz, Brian A. Hanson, Chris A. Wadzinski

Patent number: 11927172Abstract: The invention provides a method of forming a wind turbine blade. The blade has a main blade module that defines a main body of the blade and includes a first mating feature, e.g. a tongue. The blade also includes a separate edge module that defines at least part of a trailing edge of the blade and includes a second mating feature, e.g. a recess. The method includes applying an adhesive to at least one of the first mating feature and the second mating feature. The method includes arranging the separate edge module relative to the main blade module such that the first and second mating features are mutually adjacent. The method includes applying a pressure force to squeeze the adhesive to bond the first and second mating features together. The pressure force is caused by removing air from, or injecting air into, an air sealed region.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Vestas Wind Systems A/SInventors: Chris Sutton, Paul Lewis, James Olive, Steven Pascoe, Ashleigh Porter

Patent number: 10102510Abstract: A method and system of conducting a cryptocurrency payment via a mobile device, using a contactless token to store and protect a user's secret key. A cryptocurrency wallet encrypted with the secret key is received by the mobile device from the token. A cryptocurrency payment instruction is received by the mobile device, prompting for a user credential to approve the instruction. In response the mobile device sends to the token a message comprising the encrypted wallet together with the payment instruction and the user credential. Using the secret key, the token then decrypts the cryptocurrency wallet from the encrypted wallet and creates a payment transaction by digitally signing the payment instruction, and transmitting the payment transaction to a cryptocurrency network or exchange. Confirmation of the transaction requires either a PIN, biometric or fingerprint on the mobile device, or authentication via button press, PIN or fingerprint on the token.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2016Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Hoverkey Ltd.Inventors: Arnold Yau, Steve Ives, Chris Porter

Patent number: 8807727Abstract: Systems and methods of automatically bleeding air from a primary ink delivery system, so little or no air is mixed with the ink once it reaches a secondary ink system containing print heads. An air bleeder return assembly with a flow restrictor orifice that is configured to remove air from ink pumped to the carriage of print heads, thereby minimizing jet dropouts. Additionally, this setup provides the added advantage of the ability to run the bulk bags dry without ingesting large quantities of air to the ink delivery system.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2013Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Electronics for Imaging, Inc.Inventors: John P. Duffield, Chris Porter

Publication number: 20130212126Abstract: The invention describes a query server and a computer-implemented method to provide a search service for finding online content. The query server may be incorporated in a system to provide the search service. A search query is received from a user and a set of sources of online content associated with said user is identified. The search query is output to said identified set of sources to generate search results from within said identified set of sources. The search results are then sent to said user.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2012Publication date: August 15, 2013Applicant: TAPTU LTD.Inventors: Konstantinos Papamiltiadis, Jake Turner, Simon Rodgers, Chris Porter
