Publication number: 20240076078Abstract: A corner post application system for a load having corners includes corner post applicators and moveable corner post holders. The corner post applicators include a corner post gripper configured to grasp a corner post, with the corner post applicators configured to move the corner post to a corner of the load. The corner post holders each have a clamp and are moveable between a retracted position and an engaged position, where in the engaged position the clamp is configured to engage a respective corner post to press the corner post against the load at the respective corner. When the corner post holders are in the engaged position the corner post applicators are configured to be retracted with the corner posts being held in engagement with the corners of the load by the corner post holders to enable an enveloping machine to initiate placement of a film over the load.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Jason A. Brake, Jeremy N. Hockenberry, David C. Johnson, Peter C. Martin, Robert A. Van Ocker, Jonathan Van Sweden

Patent number: 11498009Abstract: A system for waterparks or other uses wherein the system combines an electric pump system that can draw water from a lake, a pool or the sea, and pump it through a hose system and sprinklers that can wet objects on or in the water such as a waterpark. It can be connected to floating platforms or other structures that can elevate the sprinklers off the water. The system features an inflatable platform that has an inflatable tower that allows a hose to extend from underwater, through the center of the tower, to a spray nozzle atop the tower that sprays water in any direction. The system can also be attached to any other waterpark structure with various fittings. This will allow a slow drip of water on some items so as to keep them slippery and wet.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2018Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Connelly Skis, LLCInventor: David C. Johnson

Patent number: 10947790Abstract: A connector for a coiled tubing end anchors internally and seals externally. The anchor profile is split with a gap to clear an internal spline without need to remove the spline to allow a seal to enter the coiled tubing since the seal is mounted internally to a sleeve that envelops the end of the coiled tubing. Component relative rotation extends the internal anchor radially against the coiled tubing inner wall to secure the connection with the seal engaged to the coiled tubing outer wall.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: David A.

Patent number: 10331907Abstract: Architecture for centralized photo storage for user profiles with consent and cardkey system integration. A picture picker can connect to a cardkey/security badge photo system to allow users to choose from badge photos. Consent is also captured by the picker to allow user photos to be used in other applications. Other applications can interact with the photo storage using standard web services and APIs for the user profile and user profile change log services. Centralized storage and insured accessibility enable applications to consume from the photo storage. The photo storage can also function as a virtual directory with distributed storage as utilized for geographical deployments. Extensions of the photo storage can include an add-in for a personal information manager application and a management agent for web-based collaboration and document management to copy photos from/to other directory structures.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2017Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Gregory T.

Patent number: 9982962Abstract: An air gun includes two different types of energy sources that may be used to fire a projectile. A first type of energy source may include an air cylinder having a piston that moves through a cylinder, as urged by a mechanical spring or gas strut, to create compressed air charge for firing a projectile. A second type of energy source may include a compressed gas storage tank that holds compressed air, or another propellant, that is released during firing to urge the piston through the air cylinder to create a compressed air charge for firing a projectile. An air gun may, additionally or alternately, include features that promote efficient delivery of a compressed air charge to a transfer port and projectile chamber, during firing. Examples of such features include piston configurations that reduce or prevent piston rebound through the interaction of the piston face and air cylinder, upon impact.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2016Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: SIG SAUER, INC.Inventors: Krzysztof Kras, David C.

Patent number: 9848058Abstract: A portable source medical device determines communication links of a network presently available to effect communications with a target component when the source medical device is at each of a multiplicity of geographical locations. A profile is generated comprising information about each available communication link and attributes associated with each available communication link for each geographical location. When the source medical device is at a particular geographical location, a profile associated with the particular geographical location is accessed and a network connection is established between the source medical device and the target component using a communication link associated with the particular profile. Medical information is transferred between the source medical device and the target component via the communication link associated with the particular profile.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2008Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: David C.

Patent number: 9418172Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring user interaction with a remote computer are provided. More specifically, the systems and methods of the present invention allow for the remote tracking and replay of user interaction with a remote computer or webpage. One aspect of the invention allows user interaction data to be replayed on an embedded browser on a replay server. The replayed user interaction data may be converted to a video file to facilitate playback of the interaction data substantially independent of the replay server.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2009Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: FORESEE RESULTS, INC.Inventors: Alexei R.

Patent number: 9316355Abstract: This invention relates in part to a method for preparing a pressure vessel for receiving high purity acetylene at elevated pressure. The method involves providing a porous filler-containing pressure vessel, deep cleaning the porous filler-containing pressure vessel, purifying a solvent, and charging the purified solvent into the deep cleaned, porous filler-containing pressure vessel. The pressure vessel is then charged with high purity acetylene for storage, transport and/or delivery of the high purity acetylene. The high purity acetylene may be useful as a source material for depositing carbon and carbon-containing films in semiconductor applications.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2012Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: PRAXAIR TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Xuemei Song, Lloyd Anthony Brown, Thomas Thompson, David C.

Patent number: 9269251Abstract: A communicator facilitates communications with a remote server via a wireless network supporting a plurality of disparate data transport mechanisms having differing characteristics. A processor coupled to memory is disposed in a communicator housing, which is configured for portability. The memory stores wireless radio firmware and data transfer instructions that are executable by the processor for transferring data to the remote server in accordance with a priority level. The priority level is based in part on criticality of the data and the communicator status. A radio disposed in the housing effects communications via the wireless network in accordance with the firmware. A power source in the housing supplies power for communicator components. The processor executes program instructions for selecting a data transport mechanism among the plurality transport mechanisms based on the priority level, and transmits the data via the wireless network via the radio using the selected transport mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2014Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: John LaLonde, William R.
