Patent number: 12025004Abstract: A horizontal boring rig that may be used for the excavation of horizontal bores in soil or other substrates without the use of tracks or other supporting equipment. The boring rig may include a hydraulic motor or other powered device for turning an auger or other excavation tool. The hydraulic motor may be pivotally mounted to the boring rig and drive the bore string through an intermediate shaft including a universal joint. The degree of freedom provided by the universal joint and motor mounting prevents breakage of the boring string from deflection or kickback. A front guide may be used to prevent excessive deflection of the universal joint. The boring rig may ride on skids that allow the rig to follow a working grade and may incorporate spoil channels for directing excavated material around or away from the skid feet for improved accuracy in following the working grade.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2023Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Inventor: Brent Douglas Davis

Patent number: 9618932Abstract: An inventory system includes a pallet and a base for palletizing or unpalletizing a mobile drive unit. The pallet has a set of openings corresponding with features of the mobile drive unit. The mobile drive unit features may extend into the pallet openings. The base includes protrusions corresponding to the pallet openings. Engaging the pallet and base can position the base protrusions in the pallet openings. Positioning the base protrusions in the pallet openings can displace the mobile drive unit features from the pallet openings and/or provide a surface upon which the mobile drive unit can navigate.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2016Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Peter Martin Hess, Scot Douglas Davis, Stephen Aquilino

Patent number: 9250917Abstract: An approach is provided in which a distributed runtime environment executes a software application that includes isolated runtime constructs corresponding to an isolated runtime environment. During the execution, the distributed runtime environment identifies isolated runtime constructs included in the software application and selects distributed runtime constructs corresponding to the isolated runtime constructs. In turn, the distributed runtime environment executes the distributed runtime constructs in lieu of executing the isolated runtime constructs.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2014Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Douglas Davis
