Patent number: 12171214Abstract: A bait rack including a mounting leg and a bait support portion is provided. The mounting leg has a bottom free edge and at least one mounting slot formed therein. The bait support portion includes an intermediate portion, an upward extending portion and a trough portion. The intermediate portion is connected to the mounting leg by a bent region formed between the mounting leg and the intermediate portion. The intermediate portion extends relative to the mounting leg in a non-parallel and non-perpendicular manner. The trough portion connects and is interposed between the upward extending portion and the intermediate portion. The intermediate portion, trough portion and upward extending panel portion forming a bait holding trough therebetween. A plurality of slots provide access to the bait holding trough from a location external of the bait holding trough. A bait station including the bait rack is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2021Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: LIPHATECH, INC.Inventors: Christopher H. Morales, James J.

Patent number: 9602697Abstract: A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request to perform color conversion during rasterization of a print job object at a printer, determining if a substitution mapping file is available for an output color space to be generated by the color conversion, determining if the substitution mapping file includes a substitution entry for the input color space color value to the output color space in use, generating the output color by using the substitution mapping file to map an input color from an input color space to an output color space if the substitution entry is available and generating the output color by using a color management system to map the input color from the input color space to the output color space if the substitution entry is not available.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2010Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Israel Kee Maloney, John Thomas Varga, Timothy LeRoy Towns, Justin James Coulter, Miki Judy Ushijima, John Forrest Meixel

Patent number: 8727625Abstract: A roller grill bearing assembly that can be adapted to fit on any size roller grill or roller tubes. The bearing assembly substantially increases the bearing land on the roller grill housing and increases the bearing area over the land. The bearing assembly permits the bearing apparatus to be snapped in place on the stamped opening on a sheet metal side panel as done using current manufacturing methods. Further, the bearing assembly can be produced using current manufacturing techniques without significantly changing the cost of production. Most importantly, the invention substantially increases the life span of the bearing.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2012Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Standex International CorporationInventors: James E. Humphrey, Ryan James Coulter

Publication number: 20080065687Abstract: Methods, systems and media for generating an improved regression suite by applying harvesting models and/or regression algorithms to tests utilized in verification of a system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a regression manager responsive to user input may be coupled to a harvester module, an analysis module, and a management module. In one embodiment, the harvester module is responsive to harvesting models defined in a modeling language, where the harvester module is coupled to a regression suite database. In another embodiment, a regression methodology may be defined from a collection of regression strategies and each regression strategy may be defined from a combination of harvesting models and/or regression algorithms. A regression generator to receive tests, to apply one or more regression strategies to the tests, to provide reports, and to allow user control may also be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2007Publication date: March 13, 2008Inventors: James Coulter, Amir Hekmatpour

Patent number: 4171124Abstract: A holder for the assembly of a conventional flame cutting torch tip (14) which provides release of the tip, and can include water cooling (42-44) of the tip during machine cutting operations. Although such tips often become fouled, the prior art has not provided sufficiently quick release for replacement purposes. The tip is held in abutment against the torch by a plurality of cam (48) actuated clamping followers (56) which wedge against the shoulder (68) of the conventional flame cutting tip when the holder is in a clamping position. The cam is operated by rotating a spring-biased (26) actuating member, preferably a circumferential ring (22), the ring being rotatable between a clamping position and a releasing position, and normally being biased by said spring into the clamping position.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 1978Date of Patent: October 16, 1979Assignee: Caterpillar Tractor Co.Inventors: James A.
