Publication number: 20240116826Abstract: Provided herein are rapid, high quality film sintering processes that include high-throughput continuous sintering of lithium-lanthanum zirconium oxide (lithium-stuffed garnet). The instant disclosure sets forth equipment and processes for making high quality, rapidly-processed ceramic electrolyte films. These processes include high-throughput continuous sintering of lithium-lanthanum zirconium oxide for use as electrolyte films. In certain processes, the film is not in contact with any surface as it sinters (i.e., during the sintering phase).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: TIMOTHY HOLME, Martin M. WINTERKORN, John Olenick, David Berkstresser, Matthew Sheffield, Yamini Mohan, Yi Zhou, Lucas Broganer

Patent number: 9298188Abstract: A control system is disclosed for use with a machine. The control system may have a communicating device, a locating device configured to generate a first signal indicative of a location of the machine, a sensor configured to generate a second signal indicative of contact of the machine with a berm, and an onboard controller. The control system may also have an offboard controller configured to generate a first set of coordinates of a dump target, and to assign the first set of coordinates to the onboard controller for use in controlling the machine. The offboard controller may also be configured to detect contact of the machine with the berm based on the second signal during reverse travel toward the dump target, and to generate a second set of coordinates of the dump target to correspond with a location of the machine at a time of contact detection.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Ananth P. Kini, Joshua C. Struble, Andrew J. Vitale, Craig L. Koehrsen, Bryan J. Everett, Mark H. C. Banham, Dean G. Povey, Matthew A. Holmes

Patent number: 9244464Abstract: A control system is disclosed for use with a machine at a worksite. The control system may have an offboard controller. The offboard controller may be configured to receive information regarding a berm at the worksite, determine starting and ending points spaced apart along an edge of the berm based on the information, and determine a maximum orthogonal distance from a virtual line extending between the starting and ending points to the edge of the berm. The offboard controller may be further configured to selectively validate the starting and ending points based on the maximum orthogonal distance, and to designate a center of the virtual line between validated starting and ending points as a dump target.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2013Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Ananth P. Kini, Joshua C. Struble, Andrew J. Vitale, Craig L. Koehrsen, Bryan J. Everett, Mark H. C. Banham, Dean G. Povey, Matthew A. Holmes

Patent number: 8880334Abstract: A control system is disclosed for use with a plurality of machines operating at a worksite. The control system may have a plurality of communicating devices, and a plurality of onboard controllers, each mountable to the plurality of machines. The control system may also have an offboard controller in communication with the plurality of onboard controllers via the plurality of communicating devices. The offboard controller may be configured to selectively assign each of a plurality of sequentially arranged dump targets for use by each of the plurality of machines based on an order in which the plurality of machines arrive at a dump location. The offboard controller may be further configured to make a determination that lanes extending to two dump targets of the plurality of sequentially arranged dump targets overlap, and selectively skip assignment of one of the two dump targets based on the determination.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2013Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Anath P. Kini, Joshua C. Struble, Andrew J. Vitale, Craig L. Koehrsen, Bryan J. Everett, Mark H. C. Banham, Dean G. Povey, Matthew A. Holmes

Publication number: 20060016576Abstract: An aluminum ingot casting machine comprising a source of molten metal, a rotatable annular ring, carrying ingot casting moulds and a drive means for indexing the moulds. The machine includes a vacuum demoulder having a vacuum seal arrangement comprising a sealing element having a flexible core which can deform to form a vacuum seal against an ingot and a flexible abrasion resistant outer layer on said core, and retaining elements located on a lower face of the vacuum lifting head for releasably retaining the sealing element onto the lifting head. The vacuum seal comprises a flexible ring shaped body, being rounded in cross section, having a fibre cord core and an abrasion resistant flexible sheathing surrounding the core.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2005Publication date: January 26, 2006Inventors: David Beale, Matthew Holmes

Publication number: 20050238546Abstract: A canister for use with a chemical oxygen generation cell. In some embodiments, the canister includes two main canister assemblies. One assembly houses the briquette, the ignition cone, and one or more filters. A second assembly houses a thimble and one or more filters. Once the components are placed within each assembly, the two assemblies can then be easily joined together to form the cell. In some embodiments, the sealed canister is constructed with at least one weakened area along at least one canister wall. Upon premature activation of the cell, pressure within the sealed canister causes at least one controlled rupture in the weakened area of the canister to vent gases and prevent an explosion.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2004Publication date: October 27, 2005Inventors: Keith Holmes, Miranda Lynch, Matthew Holmes
