Publication number: 20240001405Abstract: A hydraulically powered separator includes a separation chamber, an auger, a restrictor ring mounted at an output end of the chamber, a hydraulic cylinder having a reciprocating ram, a proportional hydraulic valve operatively coupled to the hydraulic cylinder, and a controller operatively coupled to the proportional hydraulic valve so as to control the hydraulic cylinder in a closed-loop manner. The chamber receives and processes a food product and has a cylindrical screen including a plurality of apertures. The auger is rotatably disposed within the chamber and an annular space and a volume is defined between the auger and the screen. The restrictor ring can be linearly and reciprocally displaced. Linear displacement of the restrictor ring varies a size of the volume. Movement of the ram causes pivoting movement of the restrictor ring to reduce or increase the size of the volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Eric Eisiminger, Alexander Eugene Robinson

Patent number: 11849769Abstract: An apparatus is provided for enabling smokable material to be heated to volatize at least one component of the smokable material. In one example, the apparatus has a capacitive sensor arranged to sense a change in capacitance when an article of smokable material is associated with a housing of the apparatus in use. In another example, the apparatus has a resistive sensor arranged to provide a measure of electrical resistance when an article of smokable material is associated with a housing of the apparatus in use. A combination of capacitive and resistive sensing may be used in some examples. In another example, a sensor makes use of at least two different sensing techniques. There is also provided an article of smokable material having a non-metallic electrically conductive region for detection by a sensor of an apparatus arranged to cause heating of the smokable material.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2020Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Nicoventures Trading LimitedInventors: Duane Anthony Kaufman, Jesse Eugene Robinson

Publication number: 20220110312Abstract: A mouthpiece for an intraoral game caller having teeth holding members that cover and hold tops and sides of the teeth. Side portions extend from the teeth holding members and a roof portion extends from the side portions. The teeth holding members anchor the roof portion against the roof of the mouth so that the roof portion contacts, covers, and seals a portion of the roof of the mouth. A retaining slot in the roof portion provides for reversible insertion and removal of an intraoral game caller. The mouthpiece is made entirely of plastic or rubber, is flexible, and is custom fit for each user so that it can be worn comfortably for a long period of time. The mouthpiece allows a user to move the tongue to produce sound without having to also use the tongue to keep the intraoral game caller adjacent to the roof of the mouth.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2021Publication date: April 14, 2022Inventors: Thomas Farrell Robinson, Farrell Eugene Robinson
