Patent number: 11919307Abstract: A single pass inkjet printer that utilizes a modular printing system with one or more self-contained printing modules, where each printing module is easy to remove and replace from a large printing machine, thus resulting in an overall system that is easy to service and maintain Each module is a self-contained printer including an ink supply, printhead drive electronics, and printhead assembly in order to provide one color or fluid of inkjet printing capability. Each module includes a precise three-point compliant self-aligning mount system to obtain accurate printhead positioning, and a unique integrated printhead tending system that includes a compact movable vacuum knife for cleaning the printheads, and a printhead capping station for sealing and protecting the printheads from the ambient environment when not in use.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Prototype and Production Systems, Inc.Inventors: Willard Charles Raymond, Charles Carlson Langford, Nathan Albert Bergman, Michael Laurence Beauchene, Anthony David Kaufhold, Richard Charles Raymond, Nicholas Todd Mann

Publication number: 20230399079Abstract: A retrofit kit retrofits a buoy to provide dynamic control of a freeboard of the retrofitted buoy. The retrofit kit includes buoyancy chambers, an air reservoir, and a valve arrangement. A method for retrofitting a buoy retrofits a buoy to provide dynamic control of a freeboard of the retrofitted buoy. The buoyancy chambers surrounding a vertical axis of the buoy with a center of mass of the buoy disposed on the vertical axis below the buoyancy chambers. The buoyancy chambers provide a variable buoyancy ranging from a minimum buoyancy to a maximum buoyancy. The air reservoir inflates of the buoyancy chambers. The valve arrangement dynamically sets the freeboard of the buoy upon inflation and deflation of the buoyancy chambers for varying the variable buoyancy between the minimum buoyancy and the maximum buoyancy.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2022Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: Bret R. Thomson, Jason S. Bench, Kevin A. Merhoff, Brandon J. Wiedemeier, Nathan Todd Miller, Minh Vuong, Bryan B. Bui-Tuong

Patent number: 10461464Abstract: A bulkhead penetrator comprising a body having an interior and an exterior. An element having a first pressure is disposed within the body's interior in a first pressure region. An inner penetrator is configured to permit a transfer of the element from the body's interior past the physical boundary to the exterior of the body in a second pressure region having a second pressure, the inner penetrator having an interior surface exposed to the first pressure region and an exterior surface exposed to the second pressure region. An outer penetrator is configured to permit the transfer of the element from the interior of the body past the physical boundary to the exterior of the body in a third pressure region having a third pressure. An inner-outer connector connects the inner penetrator to the outer penetrator. Sealing mechanisms may prevent the transfer of the element from the first pressure region.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2019Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Inventors: Brandon J. Wiedemeier, Nathan Todd Miller, Kyle M. Hansen, Gregory W. Anderson

Publication number: 20180333830Abstract: This embodiment provides protection to a person turning a valve hand-wheel while using a valve-wrench from being struck or pinched by a valve-wrench. The present embodiment has a looped handle (FIG. 2, 5B) connected on one end of a conjoining rod (FIG. 2, 8A) that terminates on the opposite end into a fixed wheel-rim engaging jaw (FIG. 2, 7A). By allowing the hand of the user to grip one side of the looped-handle that is not in danger (FIG. 2, 3B) of striking another object during rotational travel (FIG. 2, 6A), the leading parts of the user's hand remain protected from impact within the void (FIG. 2, 4B) of the looped-handle (FIG. 2, 5B) by the opposite side (FIG. 2, 5A) of the looped-handle.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2017Publication date: November 22, 2018Inventors: Nathan Todd Cundiff, Christopher Chance Cundiff

Patent number: 9659500Abstract: Systems and methods for safety monitoring are described. Mobile assets may receive safety monitoring notifications responsive to one or more safety criteria being met. A driver or other user of the mobile asset may be prompted to acknowledge the safety monitoring notification. If the user requests assistance or does not acknowledge the safety monitoring notification, notifications may be communicated to other individuals, e.g. supervisors. In this manner, the safety of, e.g. drivers in a fleet of vehicles may be monitored.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2011Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Navman Wireless North America Ltd.Inventors: Paresh L.

Patent number: 8763631Abstract: A metering valve includes a valve body, a flow tube, an orifice plate, a central flow body, and a mover. The valve body has an inlet and an outlet. The flow tube is carried for axial movement in slidable and sealing engagement with the valve body at an inlet end and an outlet end. The orifice plate has an outlet. The central flow body is provided on an upstream end of the orifice plate and has an annular seal configured to seat into engagement with the outlet end of the flow tube when the flow tube is moved to a downstream position. The central flow body also includes a central, protruding flow diverter upstream and central of the annular seal. The mover is provided in the valve body and is configured to carry the flow tube for displacement of the output end toward and away from the central flow body.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2012Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Precision Engine Controls CorporationInventors: E.
