Patent number: 9810436Abstract: A grilling appliance includes first and second fuel delivery ports extending from a grill housing, a first burner element selectively connected to one of the first and second fuel delivery ports to define a single-burner condition, a second burner element selectively connected to the other of the first and second fuel delivery ports to define, with the first burner element, a twin-burner condition, an elongated burner element having two fuel inlets selectively connected to the first and second fuel delivery ports to define, when the first and second burner elements are removed from the first and second fuel delivery ports and a large-burner condition. At least one ignitor is in communication with the first burner element in the single-burner condition, the first and second burner elements in the twin-burner condition and the elongated burner element in the large-burner condition.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2015Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Timothy A. Mayberry, Kyle A. Walters

Patent number: 9738959Abstract: Disclosed are non-magnetic metal alloy compositions and applications that relate to non-magnetic metal alloys with excellent wear properties for use in dynamic three-body tribological wear environments where an absence of magnetic interference is required. In one aspect, the disclosure can relate to a drilling component for use in directional drilling applications capable of withstanding service abrasion. In a second aspect, a hardbanding for protecting a drilling component for use in directional drilling can be provided. In a third aspect, a method for prolonging service life of a drilling component for use in directional drilling can be provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2013Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: Scoperta, Inc.Inventors: Justin Lee Cheney, John Hamilton Madok, Kyle Walter Rafa

Publication number: 20160083830Abstract: Embodiments of an iron-based coating configured to be thermally sprayed are disclosed. The iron-based coatings can be generally non-magnetic, thus allowing for thickness measurements to be performed on the coating with standard magnetic measuring equipment. Further, the iron-based coating can have advantageous properties, such as high hardness, high wear resistance, and high adhesion strength.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2015Publication date: March 24, 2016Inventors: Justin Lee Cheney, Kyle Walter Rafa

Patent number: 8657459Abstract: A low profile lighting apparatus is characterized by a battery housing, a rail-engaging plate connected to the housing by a pair of arms, and a recessed activating push-button located between the arms and adjacent the rail-engaging plate. A flexible resilient tab, also recessed between the arms, secures the apparatus to a rail. A lock-out switch is built into a plug for closing an end of the housing. The plug has three discrete rotational positions, one for attachment, a second for activation of an illumination source, and a third for preventing accidental activation of the illumination source by requiring simultaneous axial pressure and rotation. Instead of the plug, a hinged door having a sliding latch part can be utilized. The sliding latch part includes a pair of resilient legs that cooperate with surfaces inside the door to urge the latch part toward a latching condition.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2012Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Princeton Tectonics, Inc.Inventors: Gregory C. Janice, Michael Aaskov, Kyle Walters

Patent number: 8510870Abstract: A helmet, adjustable longitudinally and laterally to fit a variety of head configurations, includes an outer shell having front and a rear shell parts, which are movably joined with one another, and an adjuster. The rear outer shell and/or the front outer shell can include first and second lateral shell portions separated by a slot. The adjuster can move the first and second lateral shell portions away from one another from a narrowed mode to a widened mode to increase the lateral dimension of the helmet. Simultaneously, the adjuster can move the front and/or rear shell to increase the longitudinal dimension of the helmet as the first and second lateral shell portions move from a narrowed mode to a widened mode. A method is also provided for effecting the longitudinal and lateral adjustments of the helmet.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2009Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Warrior Sports, Inc.Inventors: David C. Rogers, Kyle L. Lamson, Neil E. Wensley, Kyle A. Walters
