Patent number: 12110715Abstract: A latch assembly for use in a storage container is provided, and comprises a bracket having a body, a first side, and a second side, the bracket being releasably secured to the first or the second body component of the storage container. The first side includes a protruding segment. The body includes at least one slot positioned thereon, the bracket being secured to the storage container via a fastener inserted through the at least one slot. The latch assembly also includes a handle secured to the bracket. When the handle is moved in a first direction, the bracket moves from a latched position to an unlatched position where the protruding segment passes through a lock box assembly, and when the handle is moved in a second direction, the bracket moves from an unlatched position to a latched position where the lock box assembly blocks movement of the protruding segment. The latch assembly is used in conjunction with a lock system.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2021Date of Patent: October 8, 2024Assignee: WERNER CO.Inventors: Robert A. Bergum, Kenneth Dombrowski, Michael Gong, Thomas W. Parker

Publication number: 20140249424Abstract: Factor retrieving is a major approach for pulse wave analysis. Stiffness index and cardiac output are widely used factors for cardiac risk detection. Research has been done on clinical pulse wave data which are collected by pulse oximeter. The result shows that collected factors have a positive correlation with certain cardiac risks. Some adjustments have been applied on the algorithms that increase the significance. In addition to the factor based analysis, other signal processing techniques for pulse waveforms are included such as bispectrum estimation, Wavelet transform, and weighted dynamic time warping. Bispectrum estimation and Wavelet transform have meaningful features of pulse waveforms with some special shapes. Weighted dynamic time warping compares the similarity of waveforms. It also includes medical significance into the calculation by adjusting the weight vector. This algorithm has higher accuracy when providing more samples to compare.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2013Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: University of WinnipegInventors: Zhaopeng Fan, Michael Gong Zhang, Simon Xin Meng Liao

Patent number: 8784017Abstract: A drill bit for a boring tool comprises a shank configured for engagement with the boring tool and a working tip having a first end attached to the shank and an opposite second end, and a conical helical thread extending substantially continuously from end to end. The thread root may include a rounded portion while the crest may be flat. The configuration of the helical thread, such as the crest width, thread depth, thread angle, cross sectional area and base width are adjusted as a function of the length of the threaded working tip to maximize bending strength and optimize thread wear and operability.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2010Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Javier Ibarra, Hagen Dost, Jonathan Markwald, Michael Gong
