Patent number: 11891253Abstract: A modular system and method for improving the receiving, processing, storing, and transloading of bulk materials such as organic waste. A system includes at least a receiving module to receive material, a storage module, a discharge module, and a control system. Systems can be adapted with additional modules, such as processing modules and transfer modules, depending on the site and materials to be handled. The storage module has a levelling component for levelling out the organic material stored therein, and a removal component for discharging the organic material. A control system interfaces with the modular components and local operators, and provides remote reporting and monitoring.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: TY-CROP MANUFACTURING LTD.Inventors: Gary Wayne Teichrob, Kevin Brent Thiessen, James Ryan Brezden, Eric Milton Clegg, Ian Breeweg, Dennis Keith Ho

Patent number: 11852762Abstract: Earth vibrators, such as servo-hydraulic vibrators, are improved to produce more output force and less distortion at very low frequencies by capturing mass from the vehicles which carry them, adding sufficient inertial mass to the reaction mass without adding much vehicle and equipment weight while also avoiding increases to the servo-hydraulic vibrator's stroke length. In particular, improvements to servo-hydraulic vibrators, at low frequencies, will couple some mass from the carrier vehicle frame and its load using non-rigid coupling only when additional mass is needed using dampers connected between the reaction mass and the carrier vehicle's frame, with the added damping being applied by a control system at very low frequencies of output where the vibrator is otherwise unable to produce force equal to its hold-weight.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Inventor: Dennis Keith Reust

Patent number: 11311022Abstract: A method for producing a mixture of oil and fluid food product includes placing a funnel into a pressure tank such that a stem of the funnel extends at least halfway down into the pressure tank. The pressure tank is flushed with nitrogen. Oil flows into the pressure tank through the funnel. A flow of nitrogen into the pressure tank is maintained through a side inlet of the pressure tank. Oil is dispensed from a pressure tank into the transfer line flowing a flow of fluid food product from a batch tank. The dispensed oil is dispersed into the flow of fluid food product in a inline shear mixer creating oil-in-fluid food product droplets. The oil-in-fluid food product droplets flow to the batch tank with the flow of fluid food product. The oil-in-fluid food product droplets are distributed in a volume of fluid food product in the batch tank.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2017Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: WHITEWAVE SERVICES, INC.Inventors: Elle Ann Clarke, Dennis Keith Chapman, Gary Thomas Jerger

Patent number: 10919368Abstract: An apparatus for covering an open top of a transportation trailer container includes a frame on top of the container. The frame surrounds an aperture for flow of material into the container. The apparatus also includes an arm pivotable between a closed position and an open position. The arm holds a rotatable roller for dispensing and receiving a flexible cover. The flexible cover is wrapped around the roller when the arm is in the open position. The flexible cover is unrolled from the roller to cover the aperture due to motion of the arm from the open position to the closed position. The frame includes a side portion having an inwardly and upwardly tapered outer surface. The roller contacts the outer surface when the arm is in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2019Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Ty-Crop Manufacturing Lid.Inventors: Gary Wayne Teichrob, Patrick Scott Mason, Alan Arthur Martens, Kevin Brent Thiessen, James Ryan Brezden, Robert Douglas Younie, Dennis Keith Ho, Brent Douglas Van Kleeck, Kevin James Standeven

Patent number: 10921859Abstract: A method of making an electronics enclosure that is light-weight, structurally sound and EMI resistant is provided. Preferably the electronics enclosure is made by covering the walls of a mold for the chassis and the lid with a metallic mesh. At least two plies of carbon prepreg are applied over the metallic mesh. The carbon prepreg and metallic mesh are then cured together at high temperature, typically in an autoclave. The wire mesh becomes integrated into the composite material during the curing process when the carbon material shrinks to the mold and the epoxy bonds with the wire mesh. The molds may then be removed leaving an electronics enclosure with superior properties.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: SECURAPLANE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Brandon Ross Mahoney, Sarajin Ali, Dennis Keith Moxley, Andrew Keith Dickerson, Thomas David Black
