Patent number: 11599844Abstract: A method and apparatus provides a customs review system for building a customs approval database and system suitable for reviewing and verifying values and/or commodities of product parcels passing through customs. The customs review system can receive and store a stock keeping unit (SKU) for a product parcel in the customs approval database. The customs review system can also receive a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) related to the SKU and automatically associate the SKU with the URL in the customs approval database. In response to associating the SKU and the URL, the customs review system can make the product parcel as pre-approved or rejected for shipment to customs. The customs review system can search the customs approval database for the SKU of the product parcel and validate or invalid the product parcel being submitted for shipment and importation based on the search.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE, INC.Inventors: John Farley, Oleksandr Akhtyrskiy, John Warr

Patent number: 5895214Abstract: A closure mechanism (16) for controlling charging of material through a port into a rotary kiln such as a cement kiln comprises a first and second portion (24,26), and a passage (29) which communicates with the port (12) to enable material to pass into the kiln when the mechanism is open. The first portion (24) acts to prevent reactive material passing through the passage and the closure (26) acts to close the port when the mechanism is in a closed position. The mechanism is movable to enable material such as tires to pass into the kiln but helps prevent premature degradation of the material by the heat of the kiln when the mechanism is closed.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1994Date of Patent: April 20, 1999Assignee: The Ruby Group, PLCInventor: John Warr Nichols
