Patent number: 11964386Abstract: An end-effector of a programmable motion device is disclosed. The end-effector includes a body that provides an open interior, the open interior being coupled to a vacuum source, and the body including a contact surface for contacting an object to be grasped by the end effector. The contact surface includes at least one aperture through which a vacuum is provided, and the body includes an outer surface that faces away from the open interior. The body provides that when the flow of air drawn by the vacuum source through the at least one aperture is reduced due to the at least one aperture being at least partially blocked, the outer surface of the body engages the object being grasped at least partially within the open interior of the body.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Berkshire Grey Operating Company, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Geyer, Matthew T.

Patent number: 11938808Abstract: There is provided an anti-siphon device for securing in a fluid tank inlet. The anti-siphon device comprises a housing, an inlet to the housing adapted to receive a fluid dispensing nozzle, the inlet at a proximal end of the hosing, and an outlet at a distal end of the housing. The anti-siphon device further comprises an obstruction disposed within the housing, where an outer surface of the obstruction and an inner wall of the housing define a first flow passageway. The obstruction comprises, a chamber disposed within the obstruction and configured to receive fluid, an inlet aperture in a first portion of the obstruction, and an outlet aperture in a second portion of the obstruction, where the inlet aperture, chamber, and outlet aperture define a second flow passageway, the second flow passageway being configured such that, in use, fluid can flow from the inlet aperture to the outlet aperture via the second flow passageway, whilst flows from the inlet to the outlet via the first flow passageway.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: TISS LIMITEDInventors: Matthew Rose, Richard Forster, Ryan Wholey
