Patent number: 11172772Abstract: A beverage container is disclosed with a cap body having an upper straw with an incorporated valve that moves upward and downward to toggle between an open and closed position and a lower straw that is stationary within the cap body. Hermetic seals are formed between the straw bodies and cap body that allow the proper operation of a straw that opens, allowing fluid to flow through the straw bodies, and closes, stopping the flow of fluid through the straw bodies.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2019Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: HYDRAPAK LLCInventors: Robert Heiberger, David Roecker

Patent number: 10639527Abstract: A golf equipment cleaning device is provided wherein the cleaning device selectively expels a pressurized fluid that a golfer may use at any point on the golf course. A golfer may use a hand pump to pressurize a container that comprises a fluid. Then, the golfer may release the pressurized fluid through the end of a bristled brush such that the golfer may scrub a golf ball or golf club with a bristled brush and a pressurized fluid.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Inventors: Douglas Nardini, David Roecker

Publication number: 20200002064Abstract: A fluid container is disclosed with a cap body made of rigid or semi rigid material and a valve body disposed within the cap body and movable between and open and closed position. The valve body is made of a semi flexible semi rigid material that has a coefficient of thermal linear expansion that is smaller than that of the cap body. The cap body and nozzle valve are configured with three different hermetic seals to counteract the effects of exposure to heat and cold over time and thereby extend the useful life of the cap and valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2019Publication date: January 2, 2020Applicant: HydraPak LLCInventors: ROBERT HEIBERGER, DAVID ROECKER

Publication number: 20050242147Abstract: This disassembly of a pre-cut block of packaging material into component pieces and the selective dispensing of the component pieces is accomplished by a mechanism including a disassembling apparatus and a dispensing apparatus surrounded by a housing. The disassembling apparatus accepts individual pre-cut blocks from a queue and compresses a portion of the respective pre-cut block to cause separation into the plurality of component pieces. The plurality of component pieces then fall into the dispensing apparatus, which selectively dispenses the pieces separated as desired by a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2004Publication date: November 3, 2005Inventors: Michael Tobin, David Roecker, Karl Armagost

Publication number: 20050057847Abstract: The present invention provides a magazine-based library that is capable of operating on a magazine data storage element comprised of a plurality of hard disk drives and an interface that allows data to be transferred between the hard disk drives and a host computer. One embodiment of the library comprises a plurality of shelves that are each capable of supporting at least one magazine data storage element, one or more drives, and a magazine transport that is capable of moving a magazine data storage element between any one of the shelves and any one of the drives. The present invention also provides a magazine data storage element drive that is capable of being used in stand-alone mode, i.e., outside of a magazine-based library.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2003Publication date: March 17, 2005Applicant: SPECTRA LOGIC CORPORATIONInventors: Karl Armagost, Clark Brace, Marek Christer, Christian Curtis, Neal Downey, Samuel Guleff, Ray Heineman, Peter Kumpon, Ronald Permut, Christopher Pollard, David Roecker, Matthew Starr, Lee Sutherland, Nathan Thompson, Edwin Wadsworth, Jennifer Woodruff

Publication number: 20010022719Abstract: A computer housing or case contains computer system components including a display unit, a processor, and a computer power supply unit. One or more handles are positioned at a side of the case to allow a user to hold the encased computer system while viewing the display. A case has a support interface structure to hold the case steady in an upright position. The support interface structure of the case mates with a complimentary support interface in the weight-supporting base unit and mates with guides to align a power supply port in the case to contact a power supply port in the base unit. A base unit has a keyboard guide to receive a keyboard by lifting the keyboard above a support surface. A modular computer system comprises a tablet computer, a base unit, and a remote keyboard. A first infrared communication device couples the tablet computer to the remote keyboard and other input peripherals. A second infrared communication device couples the tablet computer to a remote printer.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2001Publication date: September 20, 2001Inventors: David L. Armitage, David Roecker, Jerry Greenwald, Joe Kapushion, Jim Keen, Randy Leander

Patent number: 6048721Abstract: A bioreactor for the ex vivo maintenance and growth of mammalian cells includes a disposable, self contained cell cassette, a system manager, an incubator unit matable with a plurality of the cassettes and a processor unit. The cell cassette includes a substantially circular cell growth chamber defined between a substantially planar cell bed and a gas permeable, liquid impervious membrane. A media inlet enters the cell growth chamber communicates at a radially central portion of the cell bed. A plurality of media outlets are radially outwardly spaced from the media inlet by a distance sufficient for cell growth to occur between the inlet and the outlets. The outlets are substantially equiangularly circumferentially spaced about the cell growth chamber.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1997Date of Patent: April 11, 2000Assignee: Aastrom Biosciences, Inc.Inventors: R.
