Publication number: 20240113511Abstract: A protection circuit senses when one supply circuit in a group is activating to deliver current to a circuit component and issues firing signals to simultaneously activate other supply circuits in the group. The supply circuits may deliver large currents and high power. The protection circuit may prevent damage to a system that might otherwise occur if one supply circuit in the group activates in isolation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Helion Energy, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Hine, David Kirtley, Erik Scott McKee, Christopher James Pihl, James Melvin Pihl, Jim True, George Votroubek

Publication number: 20230288072Abstract: Systems and methods of a pellet-fired heating include a system having a combustion chamber in which combustion gas is generated from fuel pellets. The combustion chamber includes a fuel inlet for receiving fuel pellets into the combustion chamber, an air inlet for receiving air into the combustion chamber, and a combustion gas outlet for discharging combustion gas from the combustion chamber. The system further includes a first radiator extending into a space to be heated having an internal passage in fluid communication with the combustion chamber, via the combustion gas outlet, and one or more discharge outlets for discharging the combustion gas from the internal passage into the space. A blower of the system is configured to push air into the combustion chamber via the air inlet and push the combustion gas from the combustion chamber into the internal passage of the first radiator.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2020Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventor: Jim SCOTT

Patent number: 11698190Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a gas-fired appliance such as a gas-fired cooking grill are provided. An embodiment of the system includes a gas burner for heating a chamber of the gas-fired appliance. The system includes a first valve associated with the gas burner to control a gas flow to the gas burner. The system includes a second valve configured to controllably supply gas to the gas burner via the first valve. The second valve is automatically adjustable based on a desired temperature of the chamber and an actual temperature of the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2020Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION, LIMITEDInventor: Jim Scott

Publication number: 20210281211Abstract: Leading-edge units for a PV array comprising fastener or component holes for anchoring the array bonding the array and protecting array cabling. The leading-edge units provide a favorable aerodynamic shape to help deflect incoming wind, the channel rainwater and to protect the edge of the array. Methods having steps of placing modules contacting native topography or a smoothed or substantially flat portion of the ground in an array and holding the array together and down are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Applicant: Erthos, Inc.Inventors: Jim Scott Tyler, Michael GLADKIN, William T. HAMMACK

Patent number: 10683109Abstract: A bag carrying mechanism for a bag and insert combining apparatus for combining a stream of inserts with a stream of bags is provided. The bag carrying mechanism includes a plurality of bag holding arrangements operably coupled to one another for rotation about a rotational axis. Each bag holding arrangement includes first and second segments movable relative to one another and forming a receiving cavity therebetween. First and second holding features hold opposite sides of the bag within the receiving cavity and selectively hold the bag in an open position for receipt of an insert through an open end of the bag. Methods of using the bag carrying mechanism and systems incorporating the bag carrying mechanism are provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2017Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: C.G. Bretting Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Wayne G. Rundell, Jim Scott, James R. Michler, Brett Fredericks

Patent number: 10555123Abstract: Methods and systems for service transfer are disclosed. An example method can comprise receiving a service at a first/current user device, detecting a movement of the first user device, determining a direction of the movement, and requesting the service be provided to a second/target user device in the direction of the movement. Service can be a communication session, network access, video service, audio service, short message service, multimedia message service, and the like. The movement of a user device can be detected by one or more sensors implemented in the user device. For example, to enable a service transfer, a user can point the first user device to a second user device. The pointing can be achieved, for example, by moving the first user device to the direction of the second user device at certain speed.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2017Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: Comcast Cable Commmunications, LLCInventors: Jim Scott, Richard Hertz
