Patent number: 11851266Abstract: A rack system movable by a forklift having blades that can be selectively raised and lowered. The rack system includes a rack and a hitch device for connecting the forklift to the rack. The rack includes a structure configured for supporting and transporting materials, at least one wheel located at a first end of the structure, and a hitch bracket located at a second end of the structure. The hitch device includes a body configured to be carried by the blades of the forklift, and an arm pivotably secured to the body, and an engagement member at the second end of the arm. Upward movement of the blades raises the engagement member into engagement with the hitch bracket so that further upward movement of the blades raises the second end of the rack and horizontal movement of the forklift rolls the rack on the at least one wheel.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: TRULITE GLASS & ALUMINUM SOLUTIONS LLCInventors: John Schmitt, Robert Carlson, Mike Walker, Brock Walker, Bill Coppage

Patent number: 10900992Abstract: Systems and methods configured to process motion data associated with a user. The systems and methods are configured to receive motion data from a sensor, calculate motion attributes from the data, and classify the motion data using one or more mathematical models. Attributes may be calculated without classifying the motion data into an activity type (such as walking, running, swimming, or any specific or general activity). Attributes may be compared to activity models comprising motion data from several individuals, which may not include the user. Motion data within the models and attributes of the user may be independent of any activity type. Attributes may be compared to select an energy expenditure model from one or more energy expenditure models, which may be selected as a best-match to the one or more motion attributes. An energy expenditure associated with the motion of the user may then be calculated.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2014Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Santoshkumar Balakrishnan, Manan Goel, Bradley W. Wilkins, Corey Dow-Hygelund, Jeff Hazel, John Schmitt
