Patent number: 11944927Abstract: The disclosure is directed toward presses which may comprise planar or curved press plates that can be driven toward and away from each other such as via linear reciprocating movement to press filter media sheets as opposed to using rolls. The press plates can create such features as embossments that may have the ridges and grooves, brands, creases or other such features. The press can create pleated packs or individual panels for non-pleated packs. Additionally, a variety of embossed pleat packs, unique shapes, structural components and other pleat packs that may be formed by presses or other methodology are disclosed as well as filter cartridges using such pleat packs.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: PARKER INTANGIBLES LLCInventors: Jason L Tate, Farrell F. Calcaterra, Thomas B. Green, Charles R. Wick, Ryan M. Pastrana, John Michlitsch

Publication number: 20240083413Abstract: Systems and methods of controlling a vehicle in a stable drift are provided. With the goal of enhancing the driver experience, the disclosed drift control systems provide an interactive drift driving experience for the driver of a vehicle. In some embodiments, a driver is allowed to take manual control of a vehicle after a stable drift is initiated. For safety reasons, an assisted driving system may provide corrective assistance to prevent the vehicle from entering an unstable/unsafe drift. In other embodiments, an autonomous driving system retains control of the vehicle throughout the drift. However, the driver may perform “simulated drift maneuvers” such as counter-steering, and clutch kicking in order to communicate their desire to drift more or less aggressively. Accordingly, the autonomous driving system will effectuate the driver's communicated desire in a manner that keeps the vehicle in a safe/stable drift.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: AVINASH BALACHANDRAN, YAN MING JONATHAN GOH, JOHN SUBOSITS, MICHAEL THOMPSON, ALEXANDER R.

Patent number: 6313362Abstract: Akylation product is contacted with a purification medium in a liquid phase pre-reaction step to remove impurities and form a purified stream. The purified stream may then be further processed by liquid phase transalkylation to convert the polyalkylated aromatic compound to a monoalkylated aromatic compound. The process may use a large pore molecular sieve catalyst such as MCM-22 as the purification medium in the pre-reaction step because of its high reactivity for alkylation, strong retention of catalyst poisons and low reactivity for oligomerization under the pre-reactor conditions. Olefins, diolefins, styrene, oxygenated organic compounds, sulfur containing compounds, nitrogen containing compounds and oligomeric compounds are removed.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1998Date of Patent: November 6, 2001Assignee: ExxonMobil CorporationInventors: John R.

Patent number: 6191539Abstract: A fluorescent lamp (10) includes a tube (12) and a fluorescent gas mixture sealed in the tube. A phosphor layer (20) is deposited on the interior surface of the tube. A pair of internal electrodes (14), connected by a first circuit (16) to a first power supply (18), are located in the tube at opposite ends thereof. The first power supply (18) causes a high-intensity arc discharge between the pair of internal electrodes (14) and, in turn, produces fluorescent light. An opposing pair of conductive traces (22, 24) connected by a second circuit (26) to a second power supply (28), are silk-screened onto the exterior surface of the lamp tube (12) along the length thereof. The second power supply (28) causes the opposing pair of conductive traces (22, 24) to produce a transverse electric field that creates a low-intensity transverse discharge. The low-intensity transverse discharge is used to lower the luminance range of the fluorescent lamp.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 1999Date of Patent: February 20, 2001Assignee: Korry Electronics CoInventor: John R.

Patent number: 6182969Abstract: A blackjack wagering game in which an order card is dealt to determine the order of play. If the order card is a predetermined card, the dealer's hand is played before each player's hand, thereby giving an advantage to the players. In the preferred embodiment, the order card is a card that is dealt face up in the dealer's hand and the predetermined card is the ace of spades. A side wager is also disclosed in which a deck of cards used in the game has a plurality of card types. The card types are given a relative ranking. A side wager card is dealt during the game. If the side wager card is between two cards in a player's hand, then the player will win the side wager. In the preferred embodiment, the side wager card is the same card as the order card.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1999Date of Patent: February 6, 2001Inventor: John R. Green

Patent number: 5538252Abstract: A Twenty-One game is modified by adding one or more Jokers to a standard deck of fifty-two playing cards. In one version, each Joker dealt as one of the first two cards is counted as a variable number so that the resulting first two cards are then valued at a numerical count of an ordinary twenty-one. In this version, any Jokers appearing after the first two cards have a numerical value of one. In a second version, if either the player or the dealer's first two cards are a Joker-Joker combination or a Joker-Ace combination, the hand automatically becomes a Blackjack. In any other first two card combinations, the Joker is a non-playable card and must be replaced with a playable card. After the player and the dealer each have two playable cards, their respective hands are then played out. If, during the play of the hands and before the player and the dealer either stand or bust, a Joker is dealt, the Joker has a numerical value of one.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1995Date of Patent: July 23, 1996Inventor: John R.

Patent number: 4878722Abstract: A switch mechanism (11) comprising a red LED light source (13), a filter assembly (15) and a photodetector assembly (17) is disclosed. The photodetector assembly (17) includes two filtered photodetectors (33 and 35) that are aligned with the light source (13) either directly or via a light canal (19). The filtered photodetectors (33 and 35) are designed to detect light in different narrow wavelength bands lying within the band of energy produced by the light source (13). The filter assembly (15) includes a two-position movable element (23) located between the light source (13) and the photodetector assembly (17). The movable element (23) includes two sections (25 and 27) having different light-passing abilities. In one of the movable element positions one section (25) is located between the light source and both filtered photodetectors and in the other movable element position the other section (27) is located therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1988Date of Patent: November 7, 1989Assignee: Korry Electronics CompanyInventors: Leonard Y.
