Publication number: 20230151918Abstract: A coupling mechanism securing a first object having a well to a second object having a lug, including a shuttle movable within the lug, a resilient biasing means biasing the shuttle away from a base of the well when the lug is inserted, and locking elements movable radially in the lug between a retracted position and an extended position. Each locking element moves from the retracted position and retains in the extended position by a surface profile of the shuttle. The coupling mechanism includes a movable stop having: a first position in which movement of the shuttle is limited so the locking elements interact with the surface profile, and a second position in which movement of the shuttle is extended to cause the locking elements to interact with another surface profile of the shuttle, moving the locking elements from their extended position to their retracted position.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2022Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventor: Alexander Richard Clarke

Publication number: 20230079054Abstract: A method for performing an autonomous inspection. The method comprises traversing, by an autonomous sensor apparatus, a path through a site having three-dimensional objects located therein. The site includes three-dimensional objects located therein. The method comprises obtaining, by a plurality of sensors on-board the autonomous sensor apparatus, one or more data sets throughout the path. Each of the one or more data sets are associated with an attribute of one or more three-dimensional objects. The method comprises generating, by the first, second, or third processor, a working model from a collocated data set; and comparing, by the first, second, or third processor, the working model with one or more pre-existing models; to determine the presence and/or absence of anomalies. The presence and/or absence of anomalies are communicated as human-readable instructions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Oleg Mikhailov, Richard Clarke, Dmitri Kossakovski, Yaroslav Shchekaturov

Patent number: 11028460Abstract: Lead is recovered from lead paste of a lead acid battery in a continuous process. The lead paste is contacted with a base to generate a supernatant and a precipitate. The precipitate is separated from the supernatant, and is contacted with an alkane sulfonic acid to generate a mixture of lead ion solution and insoluble lead dioxide. The lead dioxide is reduced with a reducing agent to form lead oxide, and the lead oxide is combined with the lead ion solution to form a combined lead ion solution to so allow a continuous process without lead dioxide accumulation. Lead is recovered from the combined lead ion solution using electrolysis.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2016Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: AQUA METALS INC.Inventors: Robert Lewis Clarke, Brian Dougherty, Richard Clarke, Samaresh Mohanta
