Patent number: 11627846Abstract: A sanitary wipe dispensing assembly for positioning sanitary wipes proximate to a toilet includes a box has a rear facet, a front facet, opposed vertical facets, and opposed horizontal facets. One of the front facet, the opposed vertical facets, and a first one of the opposed horizontal facets is open for insertion of a container of sanitary wipes. The box can be mounted to a substantially vertical surface proximate to a toilet so that the rear facet abuts the substantially vertical surface. An aperture is positioned in a second one of the opposed horizontal facets. A sanitary wipe protruding through the aperture can be grasped and pulled by a user to dispense it from the container for use in maintaining personal hygiene.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Inventor: Eric Nielsen

Patent number: 11293420Abstract: The invention concerns a suction silencer (1) for an encapsulated refrigerant compressor, with an inlet (5), an outlet (6), a damping chamber (7) connecting the inlet (5) and the outlet (6) for sound attenuation, and an equalization chamber connected to the damping chamber (7) for equalizing the pressure of the damping chamber (7), wherein the suction silencer (1) is provided in the operating position for integration in a compressor housing (20) of the refrigerant compressor having a bottom area (21) for reception of an oil sump (26). To ensure a continuous pressure equalization between the damping chamber (7) and the environment even during start-up of the refrigerant compressor, it is intended in accordance with the invention that the equalization chamber is designed as a first equalization chamber (11) with a first opening (9) for pressure equalization and the suction silencer (1) has a further, second equalization chamber (14) with a second opening (10) for pressure equalization.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2017Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: SECOP GMBHInventor: Sven Eric Nielsen

Publication number: 20210069818Abstract: A guard for a welding gun having a trigger and a body includes a plate having two elongated sides, two ends, a front, and a back, and a first pair of flanges extending from the elongated sides of the plate and forming a first open channel with the back of the plate. A biasing member is secured to the back of the plate. The plate is pivotally secured to the welding gun body by fasteners engaging the first pair of flanges and the welding gun body, and at least a portion of the back of the plate overlies the welding gun trigger. A user may only activate the gun by applying enough pressure to the plate to engage the trigger. When the user is not applying the required pressure, the spring-biasing mechanism prevents the trigger from being pressed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: Jay Martin, Bryan Hershberger, Eric Nielsen, David Martin

Patent number: 10019697Abstract: A method is disclosed for offering transaction account consumers with payment term options to pay a minimum amount due early, defer payment into the following payment cycle, and pay a standard amount when due. When generating a periodic billing statement, the invention determines a consumer's eligibility to elect early payment, deferred payment, and regular payment. When a consumer is eligible for early payment, a received payment is compared to a discount rate tier, then a discount amount is calculated and credited to the consumer's account. When the consumer is eligible for deferred payment, the system calculates a new current minimum payment due by multiplying the current non-deferred balance by a predetermined percentage amount and adding the result to the deferred balance. When the consumer is not eligible for deferred payment, the system calculates a new current minimum due by summing the current non-deferred balance with the deferred balance.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2014Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Mark Ang, Boudhayan Choudhuri, Jessica Kaplan, David Lowy, Gyanesh Narayan, Eric Nielsen, Christine Vega
