Patent number: 11926070Abstract: Embodiments include a bar for a chain saw that is equipped with one or more oil channels that run along the length of the bar. Each oil channel receives oil at a first end, which exits the oil channel at an oil exit aperture at a second end of the channel. The oil exit aperture of one of the channels is positioned along the side of a bar groove, through which runs the saw chain, proximate to the cutting area of the bar to lubricate the saw chain just prior to the cutting area. A second channel may have an oil exit aperture proximate to the nose of the bar, to lubricate a sprocket wheel in the nose of the bar.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Oregon Tool, Inc.Inventors: Eric M. Burmester, Michael D. Harfst, Sam Hutsell, Genesis McDermott, Patrick Sellars, James Matthew Cunnington, Jonah Smith Sedaghaty

Publication number: 20220380694Abstract: Generally, this process relates to use of cannabis/Marijuana plant waste that would otherwise be disposed of by methods that create methane. Presently most States require Producers to mix their cannabis plant waste with a biomass creating a nonhazardous solid waste that must be disposed of at landfills or composting facilities. However, most States also allow Beneficial Use Permits (WAC 173-350-200) to divert the nonhazardous waste to a process that has an environmentally positive affect. I believe that my new method is the best suited to fulfill that environmental need and transform the cannabis waste compositions into a commercially useful product. For cooking fuel sustainable harvest or wood industry waste hardwood is the preferred base material to mix with the cannabis plant waste. However, any other variety of suitable biomass or organic materials may also be used if readily available.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2021Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventor: Lance Patrick McDermott

Publication number: 20160296695Abstract: A device for filling a medicament delivery device (e.g., a patch pump) with medicament or fluid and inserting a cannula subcutaneously enables improved results and user safety, while simplifying the set up process for a user. The device can include a housing with a first chamber portion having a first deployment mechanism and a second chamber portion having a second deployment mechanism. The device can also include a trigger mounted to the housing to activate at least one of the first deployment mechanism and the second deployment mechanism and an interface adapted to mate releasably with the medicament delivery device. The filling of the device with medicament and the insertion of the cannula may occur sequentially or simultaneously, and both actions can be initiated by a single user step or a limited number of user steps, as compared to conventional approaches.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2016Publication date: October 13, 2016Inventors: Michael Hassman, Douglas Lawrence, David Freed, Patrick McDermott, Stephen Putnam, Mads Dall, Peter Gravesen, Christian B.

Publication number: 20160051754Abstract: A manually actuated pump, such as a bolus delivery circuit of an insulin pump, combines a direct drive piston system with a lost motion valve system, to deliver reliably a full bolus dose, while precluding partial dosing or inadvertent overdosing conditions. The pump may also include a signaling device to indicate when a full bolus dose is delivered.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2015Publication date: February 25, 2016Inventors: Christopher Sprague Boit, Peter Gravesen, Heiko Arndt, Gregory H.

Publication number: 20070169776Abstract: A pressure support system that comprises a patient circuit, a docking assembly, and a tank. The patient circuit delivers a pressurized flow of breathable gas to a patient. The docking assembly has an inlet and an outlet that is adapted to receive the pressurized flow of breathable gas, and is also adapted to be connected with the patient circuit. The tank is constructed and arranged to be removably connected with the docking assembly, and enables the pressurized flow of breathable gas to pass therethrough. The tank is also adapted to contain a liquid such that a humidity level of the pressurized flow of breathable gas is elevated as the pressurized flow of breathable gas passes therethrough.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2005Publication date: July 26, 2007Inventors: Jeffrey Kepler, Michael Mort, Richard Seman, Mark DiMatteo, Christopher McCracken, James Vreeland, Steven Radney, Michael Bobeck, Allan Cameron, David Chastain, Patrick McDermott, William Palm, Roy Thompson
