Publication number: 20240083717Abstract: A zero-gravity hoist system including a chain fall, a motor coupled to the chain fall and configured to drive the chain fall in one or more directions, a power supply configured to provide power to the motor, and a controller having one or more electronic processors. The one or more electronic processors are configured to measure a first force of a load in response to receiving an input, store the measured first force in a memory of the controller, measure a second force of the load, determine a difference between the second measured force and the first measured force, and adjust a height of the load based on determining that the second force differs from the first force by a predetermined threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Matthew Post, Isabel M. Lloyd, Gareth Mueckl, John S. Scott, Matthew N. Thurin, Timothy J. Campbell, Jonathan L. Lambert, James Wekwert

Patent number: 6984157Abstract: A protective motor mounting mechanism for motors and propellers mounted at the lower end of a shaft and in the water which includes a clamp for fastening the rotor mechanism to the motor shaft and a stator mounted to a fixed cross piece and a release lever portion. The rotor and stator cooperatively engage with other to maintain the shaft in a vertical position and place the motor and propeller in a force exerting condition in the water. A release lever is connected to the stator and is biased by a helical spring to and upward and connected position. The release lever is movable to a motor and stator disconnected position and the motor shaft, motor and propeller lifts out of the water. If the motor or propeller strike an object in the water while in the force exerting condition, the spring bias is overcome and the motor shaft, motor and propeller mechanism are removed from the water.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2003Date of Patent: January 10, 2006Inventor: James S. Campbell

Patent number: 6773731Abstract: This invention pertains to a novel liquid egg yolk product which contains lysophospholipoprotein. More particularly, this invention pertains to a novel liquid egg yolk product containing lysophospholipoprotein from a phospholipoprotein modified using a non-animal derived phospholipase A, and a process therefor, which is kosher, does not have a porcine or bovine source, and does not contain appreciable levels of amylase. The product is useful as an emulsifier in foodstuffs such as sauces, spreads, mayonnaise, dressings, salad dressings, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2002Date of Patent: August 10, 2004Inventors: James S.

Patent number: 6616961Abstract: An egg concentrate having a higher percentage of solids relative to whole eggs. A liquid yolk component is mixed with a dried albumen component to form the egg concentrate. This can be reconstituted by mixing it with water, and this reconstituted egg product can be used itself as a food product, or mixed with other ingredients to make such things as bakery products, mayonnaise, etc. In one preferred embodiment, the concentrate is combined with an ingredient or ingredients (e.g. sugar and/or salt) to lower its water activity and make the concentrate shelf stable for relatively long periods (e.g. 2 months or much longer). In an alternative embodiment, another procedure is employed where a similar result of the dispersion of the powder in the yolk component is accomplished.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2002Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Assignee: MFI Food Canada, Ltd.Inventors: James S.

Patent number: 4667088Abstract: A credit card size portable system comprises a bubble memory for storage serially of digital data, especially of sound analogue signal which has been digitally encoded including, a decoder means for converting the memory output into analogue form, preferably several decoders each for one sound band, a control register for controlling input and output of data from the memory and which is responsive to control data present in the input and output stream, and input and output for the data entering and leaving the card system. The memory can be of 8 megabyte size, which can record 31/2 minutes of music signal. Optical input can be used, with a photoelectric converter at the input. A card is readily programmed with the digital data and can readily be stored or transported for replay of sound signal as desired, in place of conventional discs or cassettes. The control data bits are detected by the control register and serve to control the recording and replay steps.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1986Date of Patent: May 19, 1987Inventors: Kane N.
