Publication number: 20240199339Abstract: Apparatus and method for activating conveyor belt roller assemblies by lowering and extending wearstrips to selectively lower the conveyor belt to place the conveyor belt roller assemblies into contact with actuating rollers. A wearstrip module housing the wearstrips includes an upper support upon which the wearstrips are mounted that is longitudinally and vertically movable relative to a lower support fixed relative to the actuating rollers. Mounting brackets rotatably mount the lower support and actuating rollers in a fixed position and orientation.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2022Publication date: June 20, 2024Inventors: Andrew N. Baker, Yorrick Mulder, Paul Edward Kirkpatrick, Jr., Jeffrey S. Schwai

Patent number: 9835415Abstract: A pattern for camouflage and a method for making the pattern. The method includes taking photographic images from the perspective of the selected animal or bird. In one embodiment, the photographic image can be taken from above so as to create a finite background within the selected environment. In another embodiment, the pattern is adapted to be seamlessly repeatable across a surface. The method includes placing desired harvested abstracts into the photographic scene to obtain the overall desired effect of the camouflage pattern including color, composition, depth and repeat. The method also includes taking multiple photographs of the same scene from the same exact spot focusing on different parts of the photographic scene to add clarity to certain portions of the images, enhance depth, and reach desired color palate. The method includes adjusting the color of objects, including water within the photographic scene, to reflect true color of objects absent outside conditions.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2016Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Inventors: Stephen Edward Kirkpatrick, Steven Michael Maloney

Patent number: 9567164Abstract: A conveyor for transferring articles off the end of a conveyor belt onto a discharge conveyor. The conveyor comprises a conveyor belt overlain by belt strands along a carryway. The belt strands are received in recesses below the conveying surface of the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt travels an inner circuit inside an outer circuit encircled by the belt strands. The outer circuit diverges from the inner circuit at an end of the carryway. The belt strands extend the carryway and strip articles from the conveyor belt to transfer them to a downstream discharge conveyor or receive articles from an upstream infeed conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2015Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Laitram, L.L.C.Inventors: Paul Edward Kirkpatrick, Jr., Angela Longo Marshall, John F. Landrum, Robert L. Rosen

Patent number: 4910609Abstract: A teleradiology system capable of scanning X-ray images and the like and transmitting the scanned images to various locations is disclosed. The images may be compressed for storage or transmission. Compressed images can be transmitted much more quickly and take up much less space than uncompressed images. Compressed images can be expanded for, among other things, viewing. The compressor/expander and input/output devices reside on a bus structure in such a manner that digital image data can be selectively passed between the compressor/expander and the various input/output devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 1988Date of Patent: March 20, 1990Assignee: Raytel Systems CorporationInventors: John L. Nicholas, David Wang, Edward Kirkpatrick, Clark M. Viehweg, Edwin S. Morton, Van T. Hua, William C. King
