Publication number: 20250180133Abstract: A breather for a reservoir as disclosed herein may comprise a housing, a first end, and a second end. The housing may have a standpipe for at least receiving an air flow containing oil. The first end may be configured for at least receiving the air flow containing oil into the standpipe. The second end may be located at an opposite side of the standpipe from the first end. The second end may be parallel to the first end and configured for at least emitting air from the standpipe. The standpipe may be substantially cylindrical in shape and include first and second protrusions integrally formed in an inner wall of the standpipe. The first protrusion may have a first protrusion peak and the second protrusion may have a second protrusion peak. The first protrusion peak and the second protrusion peak may extend in opposite directions and form an airflow distance.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2023Publication date: June 5, 2025Inventors: Eric Cooper Pride, Ian Jeffrey de Groot, Gerben Eelke Gerken

Publication number: 20220410060Abstract: A breather is disclosed. The breather may have a breather housing, a desiccant material, and a moisture indicator. The breather housing may be configured to receive at least an air flow containing moisture. The desiccant material may be contained within the breather housing, and the desiccant material may be enclosed by a breather wall. The moisture indicator may be located within the breather housing, and the moisture indicator may be positioned between the desiccant material and an internal side of the breather wall. The moisture indicator may provide a visible representation of an amount of moisture adsorbed by the desiccant breather. The visible representation of the moisture indicator may be visually observable through the breather wall. The desiccant material may be configured to adsorb up to about forty percent (40%) of the desiccant material's weight in moisture.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2022Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Olivia Willemsen, Eric Cooper Pride, Jay Michael Cooper, Jonathan Lee Haworth, Nikhil Rajkumar Gaikwad

Publication number: 20210262849Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for a system for a smart liquid information indicator. A liquid reservoir may include a level indicator extending outwardly from the liquid reservoir. An inspection device for inspecting a liquid in a level indicator may be coupled to the level indicator. The inspection device may include a housing and a coupler coupling the housing to the level indicator of the liquid reservoir. At least a portion of the level indicator is received within an interior space of the housing when the housing is coupled to the level indicator. An imaging section may obtain at least one set of inspection data relating to the at least a portion of the level indicator. A communication section may transmit a representation of the at least one set of inspection data from the inspection device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2021Publication date: August 26, 2021Inventors: Eric Cooper Pride, Nikhil Rajkumar Gaikwad, Shawn Curtis Garrison, Jay Michael Cooper, Kyle Anthony Dinger, Jonathan Lee Haworth
