Patent number: 11718459Abstract: An interlocking wrap for covering an outer surface of an object provides desirable qualities to complex tube shapes using a flat piece of material. The wrap may cover tubes, handles, rods, or hoops, in their many examples. Existing adhesive technologies applied to the back of the material, combined with the formation of the material into a series of three or more offset tabs that interlock when folded together in the prescribed alternating order at their meeting points, creates a cover that is pleasing to the eye, protective, and durable to frictional use. The tabs overlap one over the next in similar fashion to a zipper or a braid, only leaving the bottom tab exposed to use.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2020Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: TredWear LLCInventors: Michael Steven Hunt, Jr., Lee James Clayton

Patent number: 11654640Abstract: Systems and methods of controlling outputs of infrared heaters used to join a first part to a second part, and a component made thereby. Upper and lower nests hold the first and second parts, respectively. A movable heating platen has infrared heaters on opposite surfaces. Imaging sensors have fields of view encompassing heated portions of the first and second parts, respectively, when the platen is retracted away from an area between the upper and lower nests. A controller causes the upper and lower nests to move while causing the platen to extend into and retract away from the area between the upper and lower nests. The first imaging sensor takes a first image of the heated portions of the first part, which causes an adjustment to be made to an output of the infrared heaters in a subsequent welding cycle.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2022Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Dukane IAS, LLCInventors: Tyler James Wightman, Joshua Matthew Franklin, Christopher Lee James

Publication number: 20230028823Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to methods, apparatuses, computer-readable media, and systems for network monitoring of communication requests for authorization to an access device. One embodiment is directed at dual message model in a distributed environment with an electronic access device receiving a cancellation signal and generating and sending a reversal message with cancellation information embedded in the data elements of the reversal message to a processor computer, where the cancellation data may be read and saved by the processor computer before the authorization request message is forwarded to be authorized by an authorization entity. The method further comprises generating a cancellation message after the reversal message has processed, where the cancellation message is sent via a transport computer to clear and reconcile the authorization status of the cancelled authorization request with any necessary authorizing or regulatory entities in the network.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2019Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Paul Teague, Lee James Kelly
