Publication number: 20240125232Abstract: A cutter head includes a first member, a cutting bit, and a second member. The first member includes a first end and a second end and includes a first mass. The cutting bit is coupled to the first member proximate the second end. The cutting bit includes a cutting edge rotatable about the axis. The second member is rotatable about the axis and includes a second mass eccentrically positioned with respect to the axis. Rotation of the second mass causes the first member and the cutting bit to oscillate.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Russell P. Smith, Andrew D. Hunter, Peter A. Lugg, Ian B. Schirmer, Geoffrey W. Keech, Christopher Coates, Bradley M. Neilson

Patent number: 9642236Abstract: A connector component is provided for assembly into a torch. The connector component comprises a body that includes a proximal end and a distal end disposed along a longitudinal axis. At least two thread regions are disposed radially about the longitudinal axis on a surface of the body near the proximal end. Each thread region includes at least two parallel threads disposed on the surface of the body. In addition, at least two smooth regions are each disposed radially about the longitudinal axis between a pair of thread regions on the surface of the body.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2013Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Hypertherm, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan P. Mather, Jeffrey R. Cornish, Geoffrey W. Smith, Boris Mandadzhiev, Harshawardhan Jogdand, Shawn Laflamme, George Caccavaro

Publication number: 20160209448Abstract: A safety glove for detecting the presence of a voltage has a pocket for receiving a voltage detector. An antenna or probe of the voltage detector may extend to a peripheral portion of the glove and may be covered by a piece of material. The voltage detector may be a non-contact type voltage detector sized to fit within the pocket.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2015Publication date: July 21, 2016Inventors: Robert H.

Patent number: 6315318Abstract: A boot binding system is shown for use especially on skiboards, having a binding plate, boot supports, bails, a lever, a resilient material, and a size adjustment locking mechanism. Boot supports and binding plate are complimentary shaped for slideable affixation to each, without requiring additional fasteners. A simple fastener locks the relative position of the boot support on the binding plate while also immobilizing any boot support motion. In the locked position, the fastener mates with counterbores in the binding plate's surface. The binding plate is rectangular in top view and its longitudinal edges have a chamfer, which complements a chamfer on the boot supports. The binding plate has mounting holes in its central region, which are used to affix the binding to a skiboard. Resilient material exists between the binding plate and the skiboard, thereby allowing the skiboard to flex more freely. The boot supports have slots to retain the bails. The lever also has a slot to accept a bail.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 1999Date of Patent: November 13, 2001Assignee: Caron Alpine Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey E. Caron, Geoffrey W. Smith

Patent number: 6189911Abstract: A snowboard binding is shown for mounting a boot to a snowboard. The binding has adjustments for boot size and multiple degrees of freedom which results in many customizable adjustments. The binding is mounted so as not to dampen the flexure of the snowboard.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 1998Date of Patent: February 20, 2001Assignee: Caron Alpine Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey E. Caron, Geoffrey W. Smith

Patent number: 6017559Abstract: A method of controlling the particle size and particle size distribution of an aqueous emulsion having a non-aqueous disperse phase during the production thereof, in which the production of the emulsion is carried out in the presence of a dispersion of a templating agent, such as a polymer latex, and surfactantParticle size and particle size distribution of the dispersion is controlled by selecting the templating agent and surfactant such as to cause deposition of the disperse phase on particles of the dispersed templating agent, such that the particle size distribution of the templating agent provides a template for the particle size distribution of the final emulsion.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1997Date of Patent: January 25, 2000Assignee: Dow AgroSciences LLCInventors: Patrick J. Mulqueen, Steven D. Lubetkin, Geoffrey W. Smith, Eric S. Paterson

Patent number: 5834006Abstract: An agricultural composition, for example, a herbicidal, insecticidal or fungicidal composition, comprising at least a first active pesticidal component, and at least one other active component, the other active component being physico-chemically, chemically, or biologically incompatible with the first pesticidal component. The composition is in the form of a latex dispersion, containing at least one emulsifying surfactant and having a continuous aqueous phase, and at least a first dispersed phase. The first dispersed phase contains particles derived from a latex, and the first pesticidal component is present in the composition substantially wholly within the first dispersed phase. The said other active ingredient is present within the continuous phase, or within a second dispersed phase.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1991Date of Patent: November 10, 1998Assignee: Dow AgroSciences LLCInventors: Geoffrey W. Smith, Patrick J. Mulqueen, Eric S. Paterson, John Cuffe

Patent number: 5321049Abstract: A stabilized water dilutable pesticidal composition prepared by forming a solution of a pesticidal substance in a water-immiscible solvent, and combining the solution with an emulsifier and a polymer latex to form a dispersion in water of particles comprising the pesticidal substance wherein the pesticidal substance and the water-immiscible solvent together comprise at least 10 percent by weight of the composition.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 1990Date of Patent: June 14, 1994Assignee: DowElancoInventors: Geoffrey W. Smith, Patrick J. Mulqueen, Eric S. Paterson, John Cuffe
