Patent number: 11969118Abstract: A cooking system includes a housing defining a hollow chamber configured to receive food. The housing has an upper portion defining an opening to said hollow chamber. A lid is movable relative to the housing between an open position and a closed position. The lid seals the opening to the hollow chamber when in the closed position. A portion of the lid is selectively positionable to form a pressure-tight heating volume between the hollow chamber and the portion of said lid. At least one heating element is associated with at least one of the housing and the lid. The at least one heating element is arranged within the pressure-tight heating volume.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: SharkNinja Operating LLCInventors: Rupert Elliston, Roger Neil Jackson, Steven Carter, Benjamin Sharp, Thomas Guerin, Christopher T.

Publication number: 20240123785Abstract: A joint assembly couples a linear actuator to a body. The joint assembly includes a first body having a first surface and a second body having a second surface. The first body is coupled with the second body. The first surface and the second surface have arcuate configurations that are complementary to facilitate rotation of the first body relative to the second body about a first axis, a second axis, orthogonal to the first axis, and a third axis, orthogonal to both the first axis and the second axis. The joint assembly also includes a damper disposed between the first body and the second body and configured to dampen translational motion of the first body toward the second body in response to movement of the linear actuator relative to the body.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Troy A.

Patent number: 9766094Abstract: A smart lower end system that can detect multiple events and failures during the generation of pressure pulses by a pulser is disclosed. Pulser failures may occur if the pilot valve fails to fully close or open, if the signal shaft fails to move and close pilot valve orifice, or if movement of the pilot valve or signal shaft is restricted. The components of the smart lower end system may cycle between sleep and wake states to allow for low power operation.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2015Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: REME, L.L.C.Inventors: Brad Munoz, Benjamin Jennings, Abraham Erdos, David Erdos, Kenneth Miller, Joshua Carter, James Mathieson

Patent number: 9574440Abstract: A pulser driver assembly of a measurement-while-drilling tool that includes an improved flow switch is disclosed. The flow switch uses multiple accelerometers of different types that measure acceleration changes in a system. The accelerometer data is then filtered and processed by an onboard microcontroller. The filtered data is then passed to a fuzzy logic voting algorithm which systematically and robustly characterizes the signal, and identifies the flow state.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2015Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: REME, L.L.C.Inventors: Abraham Erdos, Kenneth Miller, Brad Munoz, Joshua Carter, James Mathieson

Publication number: 20150362599Abstract: An improved gamma controller health detection assembly to facilitate reliable downhole measurement of naturally occurring radiation is disclosed. The gamma controller assembly includes one or more gamma sensors, a micro-controller, memory, and input/output ports among other components. The gamma sensors detect radiation and output pulses that are received by the microcontroller. The sensor data can be checked, selected, and averaged by the microcontroller, and sent uphole to another microcontroller or computer that can then further process, communicate, and display the data. The sensor data can be averaged and stored to memory or stored as independent values to memory. The gamma controller health detection assembly can be configured to run algorithms that detect if one or more gamma sensors appear to be malfunctioning or have previously malfunctioned.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2014Publication date: December 17, 2015Applicant: REME TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: KENNETH MILLER, ABRAHAM ERDOS, DAVID ERDOS, JAMES MATHIESON, JOSHUA CARTER
