Patent number: 10351297Abstract: The invention generally relates to devices used for material handling, such as specifically, pallets and skids. More specifically, the present invention is directed toward a folded corrugated pallet including a body defined by a single sheet of corrugated cardboard. The sheet includes a plurality of scored lines extending parallel with respect to each other. The sheet is folded along the scored lines to define a plurality of legs extending in the direction of the scored lines and at least one base wall extending between each of the legs. A pair of wings extends parallel to the scored lines and away from each other when folded parallel to the base wall. A planar top panel is disposed on top of the wings and the base wall. The planar top panel and the wings cooperate to define terminal edges of the pallet that extend in cantilevered fashion adjacent one of the legs.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2018Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Preferred Packaging Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Craig Van Riper, Daniel Hoppe, II

The sheet further includes at least one base wall extending between each of the legs, and a pair of wings. Each of the wings defines terminal edges that extend parallel to the scored lines and lie adjacent to each other when the wings are folded over the base wall. A planar interior panel of corrugated cardboard is disposed between the wings and the base wall.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2018Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Preferred Packaging Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Craig Van Riper, Daniel Hoppe, II

Patent number: 5742253Abstract: A system and method for controlling power transferred to an aircraft. The system includes a master antenna and a plurality of slave antennas on the ground. Each slave antenna transmits an uplink signal of a unique phase modulated frequency. The master antenna transmits a master uplink signal. The aircraft receives all the uplink signals and modulates a composite of those signals to produce a downlink beacon that has multiple phase components, each of which corresponds to one of the slave antennas and has a unique frequency. Each of the slave antennas receives the downlink beacon and uses the corresponding phase component to adjust the phase of the slave uplink signal relative to the master uplink signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1996Date of Patent: April 21, 1998Assignee: California Institute of TechnologyInventors: Bruce Conroy, Daniel Hoppe
