Publication number: 20220267101Abstract: There is disclosed a drive over conveyor system for transporting peanuts from a loading area, where peanuts are deposited from a trailer onto the conveyor belt of the drive over conveyor, to a discharge area where the peanuts are discharged from the conveyor belt of the drive over conveyor to another conveyor belt system that transports the discharged peanuts toa storage location. The speed of the drive over conveyor belt is adjusted such that the force exerted on the peanuts as they are discharged therefrom allows the peanuts to be deposited to the conveyor belt of the other conveyor belt system without the need for a hood or other apparatus to direct the peanuts from one conveyor belt to the other.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2021Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventor: Ronald Jay Myers, III

Patent number: 10743713Abstract: A cooking device includes a bottom wall having a raised cooking surface surrounded by an overflow trough. A liquid dispersion pattern is disposed on the raised cooking surface and includes a plurality of channels configured to channel liquid towards a peripheral edge of the raised cooking surface. Each channel includes a first end disposed in a first plane and a second end disposed in a second plane that is vertically offset form the first plane. A body portion of each channel interconnects the first and second ends. The channels are spaced apart to define support ribs therebetween which are configured to abuttingly support a food substrate on the cooking device during a cooking procedure. With the channels positioned between the support ribs, the food substrate is supported in an intermittent manner on the cooking surface as compared to full contact support found in conventional cooking devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2017Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Yifan Wang, John Jay Myers, Karen Mazza, Laura Battiston

Publication number: 20180252092Abstract: A sensor system for a sub-sea oil and gas well includes a casing, a transmit coil, a receive coil, and a processor. The casing defines an interior space through which a drilling pipe string transits. The transmit coil is coupled to the casing and is configured to conduct a current pulse and induce an electromagnetic field within the interior space. The electromagnetic field corresponds with the current pulse and interacts with the drilling pipe string. The receive coil is coupled to the casing and is configured to detect the electromagnetic field, including perturbations of the electromagnetic field due to the drilling pipe string's interaction therewith. The processor is coupled to the transmit coil and the receive coil. The processor is configured to compute a diameter of the drilling pipe string based on the current pulse and the electromagnetic field detected by the receive coil.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2017Publication date: September 6, 2018Inventors: Yuri Alexeyevich Plotnikov, Cheng-Po Chen, Steven Klopman, Emad Andarawis Andarawis, Gregory Jay Myers
