Publication number: 20230111610Abstract: An apparatus and methods are provided for transplanting slips with an automated slip transplanter. The transplanter comprises a planter unit, a singulation unit, a conveyor belt, a node sensor, and a controller. The planter unit is configured to plant consistent rows of evenly spaced slips in a field. The singulation unit comprises automated grippers and slip cartridges, and is configured to continuously singulate harvested slips stored in the slip cartridges. The conveyor belt is configured to receive the singulated slips from the automated grippers with brushed holders, and transfer the received slips on a belt to the planter unit. The node sensor is configured to autonomously collect performance data of the singulated slips in real-time. The controller is communicatively coupled to the node sensor, and configured to implement operational modes and dynamically adjust a planting slip rate based on the operational modes and performance data collected by the node sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2022Publication date: April 13, 2023Inventors: Alex Herpy, Stephen Babin, Bryan Yaggi, Itzhak Sapir, Travis Neidenfeuhr, Allen Goad, Praveen Penmetsa

Patent number: 9598211Abstract: A beverage container that includes a main body portion having an open top and a closed bottom, an interior, a circular rim and a first set of threads on an inside surface thereof that are positioned adjacent the rim at a first height. The rim includes a downwardly depending portion that extends below the first set of threads. The container also includes a removable cover with a bottom, a generally cylindrical side wall, an annular flange extending outwardly from the generally cylindrical side wall and an annular collar. The collar, the annular flange and the side wall define a first channel that receives the rim, and the bottom and the generally cylindrical side wall cooperate to define a cover cavity. The side wall includes a second set of threads on an outside surface thereof that are matingly engaged with the first set of threads.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2016Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: MIDEAS, LLCInventors: James Christopoulos, Martin Todd Belle, David Huang, Fernando Pardo, Adil Ali, Matthew Hern, Etienne Iliffe-Moon, Praveen Penmetsa, Matthew O'Brien
