Patent number: 10837664Abstract: The indoor ventilation exhaust system is configured for use in a domestic space. The indoor ventilation exhaust system is configured for use with second-hand smoke. The indoor ventilation exhaust system draws atmospheric gases containing second-hand smoke out of a domestic space. The indoor ventilation exhaust system comprises an manifold, discharge system, and a collection network. The discharge system attaches to the manifold. Each of one or more collection networks attach to the manifolds. The discharge system creates a partial vacuum that draws the second-hand smoke of out the domestic space into the collection network. The second-hand smoke is aggregated in the manifold and is then discharged from the domestic structure containing the domestic space through the discharge system. The discharge system creates the partial vacuum that transports the second-hand smoke.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Inventors: James Rice, Kevin Chauvin

Publication number: 20190139102Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for practicing Relational Fitness abilities. A relational fitness development and fundraising tool includes a server having a processor and a memory, a storage system in communication with the processor and storing challenge activity information, and a collaboration, reporting, and payment application stored in the memory and including a graphical user interface (GUI) module and a rule module. The processor executes the GUI and rule modules to selectively operate the application in a daily challenge mode, a training mode, a tournament mode, and a fundraising mode, where all of the operational modes involve user athletes completing relational fitness challenge activities in exchange for points and/or for fundraising dollars on behalf of a beneficiary. Other embodiments are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2018Publication date: May 9, 2019Inventors: Stephen Huff, Andrew Bennetts, Tamara Williams, Kathryn Bell, Ned Nixon, Eric Epstein, James Rice, Donna Rice, Peter Girard, Heather Hooton, Madeline Tyo, Juli Dimos

Patent number: 9188200Abstract: A multi-speed transmission may include an input member and an output member disposed in a housing. A first planetary gear set, a second planetary gear set, a third planetary gear set, and a fourth planetary gear set may be disposed within the housing, each planetary gear set including a sun gear, a planet carrier, and a ring gear. Six control elements may be operably coupled to each of the planetary gear sets and selectively engagable to create a set of different gear ratios between the input member and the output member. The set of different gear ratios may include at least ten forward gear ratios and at least one reverse gear ratio.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2011Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Kevin Knox, James Rice, Larry Carpenter, Brian Oleson, Kevin Meyer, Peter Hodges
