Publication number: 20210212252Abstract: A row unit for an agricultural implement has a mounting device with a rail portion for sliding engagement with a seed delivery device to facilitate quick and easy installation and removal of the seed delivery device without the use of tools. A seed meter is mounted to the underside of a cover such that as the cover is opened the seed meter moves with the cover away from the seed delivery device to provide convenient access to both the seed meter and the seed delivery device. A cam and pawl arrangement selectively retains the cover in the open position.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2021Publication date: July 15, 2021Inventors: Matthew Wilhelmi, Dean Martin, David A.

Patent number: 10677522Abstract: Flexible system and method of temperature control options for an enclosed space in a refrigerator appliance. A surface at or near the enclosable space includes a universal receiver. Different temperature control modules complementarily fit into the receiver. The manufacturer or user selects between modules of different types for different temperature control features. One module can be simply mechanical adjustment which is mechanically translated to a damper. Another option would be an electronic or electrical interface for the user that would send a signal to a controller that would electrically actuator damper control for temperature control in the enclosed space.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2012Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: WHIRLPOOL CORPORATIONInventors: David Stauffer, Dennis Winders

Patent number: 10467177Abstract: Systems and methods for an Enhanced High Bandwidth Memory (EHBM) are described, utilizing fewer physical wires than a HBM interface with each wire operating at a much higher signaling rate. The same logical signals and commands of HBM are supported over this higher-speed transport, with the resulting lower wire count and reduced signal density allowing use of lower-cost interconnection such as an organic rather than a silicon interposer between GPU and DRAM stack.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: KANDOU LABS, S.A.Inventors: Amin Shokrollahi, Brian Holden, David Stauffer

Patent number: 10296958Abstract: A system allows people to more easily find products matching their skin tone. The system includes a database that categorizes cosmetic products according to a skin tone color set. The system includes a scanning device to scan one or more spots of a person's skin. For example, three different spots can be scanned. The scan determines a skin-tone identifier for the person's skin. With this skin-tone identifier, the customer can view products that match their skin tone.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2016Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Sephora USA, Inc.Inventors: Lucie Tuan, Savio Thattil, David Stauffer, Ryan Poplawski, Meghan Cochran, Marcy Zelmar, Venkat Gopalan, Julie Bornstein, Margarita Arriagada, Christine Rose

Patent number: 10184252Abstract: A rain gutter cleaning tool has a scraper portion and a hook portion connected on opposite sides of a main body portion, as well as a tool attachment portion. The scraper portion is used to maneuver debris within a rain gutter to within the user's reach, while the hook portion is used to maneuver debris underneath gutter hangers which provide obstacles to the use of the scraper portion. The tool attachment portion is internally threaded to accommodate an extension pole. Thus, the user is able to easily and effectively clear a significant portion of a rain gutter without having to climb down from a ladder and move the ladder to a new spot in order to bring more debris within their reach for cleaning.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2017Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Inventor: David A. Stauffer

Patent number: 10066868Abstract: Disclosed in this application is a u-shaped grommet for use in a refrigerator. The grommet is fixed so as to allow wires to be routed towards an opening in the liner of the refrigerator, pass through the opening in the liner, and exit the grommet in the opposite direction as the wires entered. The grommet is preferably molded to the wires so that the combined product is inseparable from the wiring which it protects. The grommet is also described as a single piece grommet, although multiple piece grommets are anticipated. Further disclosed in this application is an improved pass-through hinge for routing utilities, including water and electricity, from the door to the body of the refrigerator. The improved hinge features a hollow hinge pin through which utilities may be routed, thereby overcoming the deficiencies of the current state of the art.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2017Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Stevan R. Dolinsek, Timothy A. Fulton, Daryl L. Harmon, Chad J. Rotter, David A. Stauffer
