  • Patent number: 11920347
    Abstract: A joist assembly system that is structured for dynamic retrieval of components, dynamic and precise positioning and location of retrieved components, assembly of the components to form a joist, and delivery of the assembled joist. The joist assembly system has a plurality of material handling systems, a plurality of welding systems, and a rigging table system. The material handling systems are structured to load and position the components such as chords and webs onto the rigging table. The rigging table in turn supports the chords or webs. Subsequently, the plurality of welding systems weld the webs to the chords to form the joist.

  • Publication number: 20230134177
    Abstract: An example apparatus for additive manufacturing can include at least three legs including trussing beams and an upper frame supported at a target height by the legs. The upper frame can include an x-axis member extending between two of the legs and a y-axis member extending between two of the legs. An x-axis gantry can be coupled to the y-axis member and extend parallel to the x-axis member. The x-axis gantry can be slidably moveable along the y-axis member. An x-axis carriage can be coupled to the x-axis gantry and slidable moveable along the x-axis gantry. A telescoping z-axis member can be coupled to the x-axis carriage. A cementitious material delivery hose can have an outlet coupled to the z-axis member so that the outlet moves along a z-axis.

  • Patent number: 10824645
    Abstract: A synchronized incident response system is distributed across one or more user devices and a host server. Each device has a stored version of an incident response profile for a defined location, the profile having version numbers corresponding to a set of data values for one or more attributes specific to the defined area. Each device is linked to the server and can transmit data records with changes to profile attributes, wherein the server determines whether the user changes are valid updates with respect to what is already stored in server memory. If so, the server synchronizes the profile attributes to generate a current profile and generates incremented version numbers. Each device can provide an incident response request for the defined area to the server, wherein the server generates an incident response report populated with data corresponding to a latest version number for each of one or more predetermined attributes.

  • Patent number: 9086702
    Abstract: Pressure-balanced fluid pressure regulators are described. An example fluid regulator includes a fluid flow control member disposed within a fluid flow passageway of a valve body and moves relative to a seat ring to modulate fluid flow through the fluid flow passageway. A valve stem couples the fluid flow control member to an actuator. The valve stem has a pathway to allow fluid from an inlet of the fluid flow passageway to flow across the flow control member between a first side of the flow control member and a second side of the flow control member opposite the first side to pressure-balance the fluid flow control member.
