Patent number: 11969912Abstract: A modular press suitable for use in the manufacture of EWC products may include a plurality of frame modules coupled together and aligned along a feed path axis. Each frame module may have a generally planar body supported on a corresponding pair of bases, an elongate aperture, an upper and a lower platform within the aperture, and a platen between the platforms. Optionally, the ends of the aperture may be curved. A first actuator system may be operable to move the platen from a raised position to an intermediate position, and a second actuator system may be operable to press the platen downwardly from the intermediate position onto a workpiece within the aperture. Some modular presses include conveyor rolls and a third actuator system to raise and lower the conveyor rolls. In some embodiments, the actuator systems may be pneumatic actuator systems. Corresponding methods and systems are also described herein.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: USNR, LLCInventors: Samuel Taylor Pope, Laura Hart Meeker, Conrad Bullion, Kevin K.

Patent number: 10356617Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile device to authenticate a user. The mobile device may comprise: a first sensor; a second sensor to use more power than the first sensor; and a processor coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor. The processor may be configured to: collect data from the first sensor; determine if an environmental change occurred based on the collected data from the first sensor; engage the second sensor to collect data if the environmental change occurred; and modify a polling rate for the second sensor based on the collected data from the second sensor.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2017Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Tara Abernathy, Eric Trexel, Vijayalakshmi Raveendran, Rahshel Brown, Dallas Wiener, Gabriel Moura da Silva, Kabir Kasargod, Laura Hart
