  • Patent number: 12352377
    Abstract: A helical strake pole system that includes a tubular pole having a longitudinal axis and threaded attachment points. The system further includes a helical strake fin disposed circumferentially around a portion of the tubular pole along the longitudinal axis. The system further includes couplers disposed on the tubular pole. The couplers are configured such that each coupler has a first portion with a slot configured to receive an upper portion of the helical strake fin and a second portion configured to removably coupled to a threaded attachment point of the tubular pole. In addition, each coupler is configured to position a portion of the helical strake fin substantially perpendicular to a surface of the tubular pole.

  • Patent number: 11718935
    Abstract: A method is provided for making, with a programmable multi-needle quilting machine, a quilted border loop sidewall panel for a bed mattress or foundation. The method involves executing programming on the machine to run a stitch pattern having a repeat length equal to or greater than a length of a side or end of the mattress or foundation, and preferably corresponding to the length around its perimeter. The stitch pattern presented in the programmed pattern repeat length includes a “prime pattern” having plural stitch pattern elements arranged to provide aperiodic pattern element variation along its length, which length is also equal to or greater than the length of the side or end of the mattress. Once made, the border loop sidewall panel is integrated into a mattress or foundation such that the pattern elements are placed in predetermined registry with selected other portions of the mattress or foundation.
