Patent number: 9731462Abstract: Tire vulcanizing mold able to cooperate with a curing press, said mold comprising two shells each one molding a sidewall of the tire and a ring of sectors for molding the tread of the tire, each sector comprising a support and a molding lining situated radially on the inside of the support, in which ring the sectors, when the mold is in the closed position, are all in circumferential contact one with the next via the molding linings and in radial contact on the shells via the front ends of the linings each of which forms a face for contact with the shell, said supports and linings being produced in such a way that each support is able to take up the clamping force applied to the lining coming into contact with the shell when the mold is in the closed position when said clamping force at said contact face exceeds a given threshold that is lower than the plastic threshold of the lining.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2014Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignees: COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSEMENTS MICHELIN, MICHELIN RECHERCHE ET TECHNIQUE S.A.Inventors: Denis Marchadier, Tom Petrina, David Stringer, Marvin Owen

Patent number: 9604423Abstract: A tire mold equipped with features for protecting the tread mold segments from damage is described. One or more impact absorbers are positioned between tread mold segments and operate to preclude contact between the shoulders of the tread mold segments when such are biased back into their original position as a tire is removed from the tire mold. By precluding such contact, the tread mold segments are protected from damage that can affect the appearance of the cured tire.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2013Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignees: Compagnie Generale des Etablissements Michelin, Michelin Recherche et Technique S.A.Inventors: James Todd Smith, Jerry Hinson, Marvin Glen Owen, Thomas Gregory Petrina, Jr., Frederick David Stringer, Jr.

Patent number: 9127510Abstract: A dual drive drilling system having a plurality of drill rods that make up a drill string and a steering element for controlling the path of the drill string is disclosed. The dual drive drilling system also includes a drill bit located near the end of the drill string, a first rotational drive for controlling the rotation of a steering element, and a second rotational drive for controlling the rotation of a drill bit. Further, the dual drive drilling system also includes a joystick capable of moving along a first and second axis for controlling both the first and second rotational drives, wherein the movement of the joystick along the first axis controls rotation of the first rotational drive, and the movement of the joystick along the second axis controls rotation of the second rotational drive.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Vermeer Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Matthew David Stringer, Nathaniel Zadok Gustavson, Michael Dale Van Zee, Philip Robert Lane, Kevin Duane Sebolt, Tod J.

Patent number: 8566714Abstract: A computer program product for standardizing the appearance of related accessories installed on a base product. The base product and related accessories can be visualized from a plurality of view-angles on a configurator application. An accessory is loaded onto the base product by an image transformation tool that manipulates the accessory to fit onto the base product. The transformed accessory is saved as a t-matrix profile for each view-angle of the base product, and the t-matrix profiles are associated with an accessory classification, which includes additional accessories that similarly fit the base product. The visualization data associated with the base product can then be updated with the t-matrix profiles. A customer GUI is provided for viewing the accessories fitted onto the base product where the transformations can automatically transform other accessories in the same accessory classification on the base product. In an embodiment, the base product is a vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2011Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Insignia Group, L.C.Inventors: David Stringer, James Brooks, Stephen Miller, Brian Smithson

Publication number: 20040073530Abstract: The present invention is directed to an information management system (“IMS”) which utilizes delegated control (FIG. 1) over a dataset to overcome a number of the problems associated with existing IMSs. Delegated control is the transfer, generally temporary, of at least partial control over the dataset (50) from a delegating system (100) to a delegate system (200). The delegating system has full control of the dataset, but declines to exercise that authority in regard to at least a portion of the dataset while authority over that portion of the dataset is delegated. Thus, any dataset modification request received from a reqestor (300) system that wants to modify the dataset, and is not the delegate or delegator, will be refused.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2002Publication date: April 15, 2004Inventors: David Stringer-Calvert, Patrick Lincoln, Steven Dawson

Publication number: 20030140087Abstract: A resource (35) is recruited by a negotiation between two independent computers (10, 30). The computers (10, 30) are preferably at a significant distance from one another, and likely not part of the same local area network. The negotiation may be based on any condition or combination of conditions, including monetary or other compensation, a subject matter to which the resource (35) will be applied, a percent of avaibility of the resource (35) at the providing computer (30). The negotiation may also be based upon value, a recent value, a reliability value, a type of work value, or a compensation value. The negotiation may be facilitated by one of the computers (10, 30) listing either a need or an available resource (35) on a directory (22).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2002Publication date: July 24, 2003Inventors: Patrick Lincoln, Steven Dawson, David Stringer-Calvert

Patent number: 4114756Abstract: A generally cylindrical core for winding a web of sheetlike material has portions with a lesser diameter than other portions such that otherwise baggy areas of the web overlie the lesser diameter area of the core. The core particularly solves the problem of elongated edges on a wound film of heat shrinkable thermoplastic material caused by differential shrinkage about a core.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 1976Date of Patent: September 19, 1978Assignee: W. R. Grace & Co.Inventors: Raymond B. Dacey, Frederick David Stringer
