Publication number: 20210276071Abstract: A bent tubing automation tooling apparatus having a body component made of a rigid piece of material to connect an automation tooling machine to a work-piece manipulating implement, allowing for precision tooling with decreased parts and decreased setup, service, and tuning time to prepare the automation tooling machine for production. The body component may be a single monolithic body that is selectively movable between an operational position and an access position to provide for safer servicing of the automation tooling machine and components by allowing a technician to service the equipment from a safety zone instead of entering a dangerous area of the machine. The bent tubing apparatus provides fine tuning and quick adjustments to positional characteristics of the apparatus to increase precision of the automation tooling process while decreasing service time of the automation tooling machine and components.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2019Publication date: September 9, 2021Inventors: Cornell Chamberlain, Mark Hansen, Jeff Bannen

Patent number: 10877850Abstract: Systems and methods of transmitting data from one location to another location that can be used in a number of applications including, but not limited to, secure transmission of data from one location to another and secure data backup. In one embodiment, a data file is split into pieces and the pieces are placed randomly in a diverse mesh of online cloud storage providers. So all the data is not sitting in a single point of failure and with the entire file available for theft. Each piece of data is given a randomized numerical code that determines where the packet of data is stored. Also, the pieces of data can be encrypted.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2017Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: SECURED2 CORPORATIONInventors: R. Daren Klum, Mark Hansen
