Publication number: 20240142031Abstract: This disclosure relates to an irrigation system pipe joint or span coupling, which can connect a span of an irrigation system to another structure. In examples, the joint can include various components that attach an end of a first pipe or joint to an end of a second pipe or joint. For example, the end of the first joint can include a receiver plate, which can include a recess with a bushing. In addition, the end of the second joint can include a post, hook, or other elongated member that, in order to connect the first joint to the second joint, is insertable into the bushing.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Russell Scott Reinke, Jon Patrick Henry

Publication number: 20240095651Abstract: A system and method for delivering restricted products. The delivery system may include a user device, an external server, and a delivery unit. A user can register to use the system by verifying their identity and recording at least one biometric characteristic with the user device. When a user selects a restricted product for purchase at the delivery unit, the user's identity may be verified, the user's presence at the delivery unit may be verified through a liveness check and/or a location determination, the user's eligibility to purchase the selected product may be determined, and the user's ability to pay for the selected products may be determined. If the external server determines the user is eligible to purchase the selected product, the external server can send a delivery command to the delivery unit and the delivery unit may allow the user to have access to the purchased product.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2021Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventor: Jon Patrick Hurry

Publication number: 20240065187Abstract: An irrigation system having a pipeline supported by one or more towers includes an improved truss connection system having a means for readily adjusting a crown height of the pipeline. A pair of cooperating members define a joint which selectively couples headed ends of adjacent truss rods together to form a truss rail of a truss system that supports the pipeline. A single fastener may fasten the cooperating members, a strut, and a cross-member together at the joint. A length of the truss rail may be decreased by holding the truss rods closer together. In an aspect, the headed ends of the adjacent truss rods are held closer together by inserting a shim in one of the joints. Decreasing the length of the truss rail increases the deflection of the pipeline and raises the crown height.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Russell Scott REINKE, Jon Patrick HENRY, Bradley George WEATHERL, Mark Randall VIRUS, Darin Joseph NEFF

Publication number: 20230318403Abstract: A magnified linear power generation system. The magnified linear power generation system may be used with a vehicle and include a mechanical magnification component and a linear power generator. The linear power generator can have a mover and a stator. The mechanical magnification component can be coupled at opposite ends to the mover and to a force receiving surface of the vehicle. When the mechanical magnification component receives a force and a velocity from the force receiving surface, the mechanical magnification component may magnify the velocity and transfer the magnified velocity to the mover. The mover may move along the stator and convert the input mechanical energy into electrical energy. The mover may be coupled to a biasing component distal from the mechanical magnification component. The biasing component can apply a biasing force to the mover to position the mover at a neutral location in the linear power generator.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2021Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Jon Patrick Hurry, John M.
