Patent number: 11787013Abstract: A blasting or stripping booth is provided creating a generally downward flow for treatment of fluid and particle flow, which reduces operator exposure to potentially hazardous debris. The booth comprises an enclosure defining an upper region for a workpiece, a lower region, and a separator assembly. In some instances the separator assembly includes individual separator units which are discrete units, each having a generally square or rectangular plan view configuration which are arranged in an array for providing the required process flow capabilities. Further embodiments utilize structures forming the separator which have an elongated trough-like configuration. These embodiments find a particular application in large-scale stripping or blasting booth used in production environments where workpieces may flow through a treatment system in a serial manner. Other suitable applications include batch type processing of parts.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2018Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: GIFFIN, INC.Inventors: Abraham J. Salazar, Donald A. Cook

Patent number: 11596965Abstract: A spray booth especially adapted for painting operations having a dry filter module with features for allowing changing of the filters quickly and in a contained environment, which reduces exposure to non-authorized and non-properly-protected personnel. A carousel-like filter module flips a wall to move dirty filters into a containment space while placing clean filters in position to continue the painting process. The process and device in accordance with this invention is safe, repeatable, predictable, and capable of changing a large number of filters in a short period of time, for example, during lunch break or other short break in the painting operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2018Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Giffin, Inc.Inventors: Abraham J. Salazar, Donald A. Cook, James G. Vanderworp

Patent number: 7215185Abstract: A system for providing a threshold voltage (VT) includes a VT extractor that extracts the VT for a MOS transistor relative to a first voltage rail. An inversion circuit inverts the extracted VT (e.g., VT+VIN) relative to a reference voltage that is intermediate the first voltage rail and a second voltage rail and provides an output corresponding to the VT (e.g., VT+VIN) relative to the second voltage rail. The relative voltages at the voltage rails generally will depend on whether the VT is being extracted for a p-channel MOS transistor or an n-channel MOS transistor. The VT can be employed to generate a ramp voltage across a capacitor formed of another MOS transistor.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2005Date of Patent: May 8, 2007Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventor: Donald Cook Richardson

Patent number: 6734651Abstract: A multiple battery system for a vehicle comprises a primary battery; a reserve battery electrically connectable to the primary battery; and a control unit with a relay switch electrically connected between the primary and reserve batteries. The relay switch is operable to close upon actuation and connect the reserve battery to the primary battery. The control unit also has a receiver electrically connected to the relay switch and is adapted to receive a control signal for actuating the relay switch. A wireless transmitter has a manually actuable switch for sending the control signal to the receiver. With this arrangement, actuation of the transmitter switch causes the control signal to be transmitted to the receiver and actuate the relay switch to connect the reserve battery to the primary battery.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2002Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: SimTech Systems, LLCInventors: Norman Cook, Donald Cook
