Patent number: 11030541Abstract: Described is a system and method for proactively determining and resolving events having low confidence scores and/or resolving disputed events. For example, when an event, such as a pick of an item from an inventory location within a materials handling facility occurs, the event aspects (e.g., user involved in the event, item involved in the event, action performed) are determined based on information provided from one or more input components (e.g., camera, weight sensor). If each event aspect cannot be determined with a high degree of confidence, the event information is provided to an associate for resolution.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2014Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Wyatt David Camp, Dilip Kumar, Amber Autrey Taylor, Jason Michael Famularo, Thomas Meilandt Mathiesen, Jared Joseph Frank

Publication number: 20150052726Abstract: A safety appliance for a downhaul weight. The safety appliance includes a cradle that is configured and arranged to receive support a downhaul weight in its normal working orientation. The safety appliance is capable of receiving and supporting downhaul weights having different sizes and dimensions. When a downhaul weight is seated in the cradle, the safety appliance may provide a working space therebelow. The cradle of the safety appliance may include friction reducing material that allows a downhaul weight to be manipulated while it is seated in the cradle. The safety appliance and a downhaul weight may be conveyed from one location to another location as a single unit. The safety appliance may include one or more box-beams that facilitate lifting the safety appliance from below and/or one or more lifting lugs that facilitate lifting the safety appliance from above.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2013Publication date: February 26, 2015Applicant: MACHINING & WELDING BY OLSEN, INC.Inventors: David A.

Patent number: 8384553Abstract: A trigger mechanism including sensing electronics, a power source and a length of bifilar wire. The bifilar wire has two electrically conductive filaments separated by an insulator, with a first end in electrical connection with the sensing electronics and the power source and a second end that is free. A circuit can be created by fusing together the two filaments in a section of the bifilar wire. The sensing electronics are configured to monitor the status of a circuit created between the bifilar wire, sensing electronics and power source and to output a signal when the circuit is broken.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2010Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Becatech Systems LimitedInventor: Warwick Jonathan David Camp

Patent number: 8028436Abstract: An apparatus for evaluating the condition of a lift sling. The apparatus includes a body with an upper section and a lower section. The lower section includes a cradle member with a load bearing surface that engages an inner surface of a connecting link at one end of a sling. The apparatus includes an engagement section that receives and positions the end of a measuring device so that it is in tangential alignment with the load bearing surface of the cradle member. In use, one end of a sling is positioned on the load bearing surface of the cradle member and one end of a measuring device is positioned on the engagement section of the apparatus. The apparatus is then raised so that the sling and the measuring device are hanging freely. The reach of the sling is then measuring using the measuring device.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2009Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: Machining and Welding by Olsen, Inc.Inventors: David Camp, Darin Young

Patent number: 7883131Abstract: A crane hook assembly and methods of use for safely lifting large conduits, such as wind generator tower sections. The hook assembly includes a steel frame member and a support member forwardly extending from the front surface of the frame member. The support member cooperates with the frame member to engage and retain an annular flange of the tower section. The hook assembly is secured onto the tower section with a securing mechanism, preferably using a rack and pinion gear assembly to actuate a locking pin. The sliding, retractable, locking pin may be actuated such that it is movable between an unlocked position and a locking position, such that the locking pin is positioned horizontally over the tower section when in the locked position and the locking pin is fully retracted from the front surface when the locking pin is in the unlocked position.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2007Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: Machining and Welding by Olsen, Inc.Inventors: David Camp, Darin Young
