Publication number: 20250020327Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for pellet-fed pizza oven are described. In some examples, a pizza oven may include a hopper for storing a combustible fuel, such as wood pellets. The wood pellets may be transferred to a burn pot by an auger. The rate at which the auger transfers the wood pellets may be managed by a controller and may be adjusted based on an ambient temperature of the oven and a desired temperature for cooking a food item (e.g., a pizza). In some instances, the pizza oven may include a cooking surface, such as a pizza stone or a pizza steel, for cooking the pizza at a desired temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2024Publication date: January 16, 2025Inventors: Corey Case, Tim Kinney Kinney, Matthew Charles Kinamore, James Tayon, Todd Strobel, Ethan O’Keefe, Mark Lee Graham, Jeremy Rantz

Patent number: 10473559Abstract: A soil sample collection machine has a mobile support frame that is transportable across the soil surface of an agricultural field. A surface scraper assembly is mounted to the mobile support frame and includes a scraper and a driver that is adapted to lower the scraper onto the surface of the soil and move the scraper across the soil surface for removing surface debris before a sample collection probe is driven into the soil at the scraped location and removes a soil sample. A soil sampling probe assembly is also mounted to the mobile support frame and includes a sample collection probe and a driver that is adapted to move the sample collection probe along a downward path into the soil to collect a sample of soil at the place the surface was scraped, to retract the probe upward and then to eject the soil sample from the probe into a container on an endless conveyer of containers.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Inventor: James A.

Publication number: 20190166203Abstract: A mobile app generates and manages companion apps in a memory of the mobile computing device. The companion apps cooperate with one or more integrated tracker apps in a memory of a wearable device to provide a combined functionality to the wearable device. A companion app communicates with an integrated tracker app to provide at least extended capabilities for the integrated tracker app including adding connectivity to the Internet to access On-line services and gather data on behalf of the integrated tracker app via the integrated tracking app submitting a request to an application programming interface for the companion app. The mobile app coordinates activities between i) multiples instances of the companion app loaded in the memory of the mobile computing device and ii) the integrated tracker apps running in the memory of the wearable device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2018Publication date: May 30, 2019Inventors: Thomas Sarlandie de la Robertie, Ryan James Case, Brad Murray, Marcel Jackwerth, Sylvain Rebaud, Daniel Rodriguez Troitino

Patent number: 10155348Abstract: A material preparation device is provided. The material preparation device includes a bias-ply assembly, a feedstock assembly and an application head. The bias-ply assembly is configured to pass a bias-ply backing material along a first path. The feedstock assembly is configured to pass a feedstock along a second path that crosses the first path at a select angle. The feedstock includes resin pre-impregnated fiber-reinforced material (pre-preg) having the fibers at a first orientation relative to an edge of the feedstock. The application head is configured to transfer the pre-preg from the feedstock to the bias-ply backing material at a location where the first path crosses the second path to form a bias-ply with the fibers of the pre-preg having a second, different orientation relative to an edge of the formed bias-ply.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2016Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jason K.
