Patent number: 11329532Abstract: A drive system for a high torque mechanical load includes a power supply, a controller, and a high torque electric motor. The electric motor includes a rotor that is oriented eccentrically relative to a stator. In one form, the electric motor has a crankshaft that transmit the torque to the mechanical load. In other variations, the electric motor includes at least two electric motor lobes with opposite stroke positions to provide a smoother output at higher speeds. During operation, the rotor is magnetically attracted to the energized electromagnet. With the rotor attracted to the electromagnet in the stator, the rotor contacts or comes in close proximity to the stator at a contact area. The close proximity between the rotor and stator at the contact area allows very large magnetic forces to be utilized to produce torque without increasing the size or weight of the electric motor.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2019Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Bastian Solutions, LLCInventors: William A. Bastian, II, Paul D. Burgeson, Gabriel Michael Riggs

Patent number: 10113267Abstract: A sling manufacturing apparatus for constructing a synthetic sling having a cover and a core, includes a frame defining a longitudinal frame axis, a yarn feeder assembly associated with the frame, a drive roller connected to the frame, a tailstock movably mounted to the frame, an idler roller movably mounted to the tailstock, and an idler actuator secured to the tailstock. The drive roller is drivable to draw yarn from the yarn feeder assembly and the tailstock is movable relative to the frame substantially parallel to the longitudinal frame axis. The idler roller is movable relative to the tailstock parallel to the longitudinal frame axis. The idler actuator is configured to move the idler roller from a loading position spaced a first distance from the tailstock to a tensioned position spaced a second distance from the tailstock, wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2016Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: SlingMax, Inc.Inventors: Michael Riggs, Gregory D'Elia, Scott St. Germain

Publication number: 20160198278Abstract: Systems and methods for audio waveform clipping detection and indication are described herein. For example, an audio waveform clipping detection and indication system may include a first comparator, a second comparator, a timer, and an indicator. The first comparator may determine if an audio signal is present, the second comparator may determine if a slope of the audio signal is a shallow slope, and the timer may at least determine if the slope of the audio signal is a shallow slope for a threshold amount of time. An indication of clipping may be provided by an indicator based on outputs of the first and second comparators and the timer. The indication may provide feedback of audio waveform clipping.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2015Publication date: July 7, 2016Inventor: ROBERT MICHAEL RIGGS
