  • Marine propulsion unit
    Patent number: 10364010
    Abstract: A marine propulsion unit is described. The marine propulsion unit allows for shallow, obstructed, or otherwise impeded operation of a vessel through a novel marine propulsion transfer unit that is, or can be, mechanically coupled to an outboard motor or other similar marine motor. A mount for raising and lowering the marine propulsion unit in a generally vertical direction allows for adjustment of operating depth of the marine propulsion unit to accommodate a wide range of operating conditions from shallow and obstructed water to traditional deep water operation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 23, 2016
    Date of Patent: July 30, 2019
    Assignee: Global Packaging Systems, LLC
    Inventors: Thomas Charles Coller, Steven Donald Bush, Keith Raymond Woerner

  • Apparatus and method for large area hermetic encapsulation of one or more organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs)
    Patent number: 8936690
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for hermetically encapsulating one or more optoelectronic device, such as a light emitting device or a photovoltaic device. The apparatus comprises a base and a carriage movable along the base. The carriage comprises a roller. The apparatus further comprises a vacuum platen coupled with the base and a tensioner coupled with the base. The tensioner comprises a support member that projects orthogonally above a plane of the vacuum platen.
