  • Publication number: 20250059733
    Abstract: A locking assembly for locking a ground engaging tool such as a point onto an adapter is disclosed. The locking assembly has a lock which can pivot between a locking position and a release position. The lock is biased into the locking position. The action of pushing the point onto the adapter moves the lock into its release position until the point is fully engaged on the adapter, when the lock returns to its locked position, now in engagement with a lock receiving recess in the adapter.

  • Patent number: 12078936
    Abstract: A magnification adjustable projection system is provided that includes an imaging system having an object or image space, a first deformable lens plate located within the object or image space for contributing a first magnification power to the imaging system as a function of an amount of curvature of the first deformable lens plate, and a second deformable lens plate located within the object or image space for contributing a second magnification power to the imaging system as a function of an amount of curvature of the second deformable lens plate. The projection system also has first and second bending apparatuses that adjust the curvature of the first and second deformable lens plate through a range of curvature variation for adjusting the magnification power of the imaging system.

  • Patent number: 12036485
    Abstract: A method of separating trichomes from cannabis plant flowers that begins with delivering the cannabis plant material to a hopper and continuously moving the cannabis material from the hopper to a porous container in a bath of cold water, at a controllable rate, and moving the cannabis material contained in the porous container, through the cold bath from an entrance end, to an exit end, thereby removing trichomes, which exit the porous container into the cold water. The remaining cannabis plant material is moved out of the exit end of the bath, at substantially the same rate as the cannabis plant material enters the bath. Finally, the water from the bath is substantially continuously filtered thereby separating the trichomes from the cold water.

  • Patent number: 11995625
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for a digital rights management system which enforces license rights by establishing an account domain of registered consumer devices which may each receive a decryption key to be used to decode digital content bought by any of the devices within the account domain. Such system further enables the decentralization of content sharing by establishing a network of trusted intermediate devices to manage licenses on end devices for a central rights provider.

  • Publication number: 20240150146
    Abstract: Systems for providing efficient manufacturing of paper, sheet, and/or box products of varying size and structure, often with pre-applied print (“pre-print”), are provided herein. Efficient customer ordering/tracking, job aggregation, print imposition, corrugator planning, and tracking and adjustments throughout the manufacturing process are contemplated. A reel editor is configured to edit the roll based on waste and/or errors that occurred during various manufacturing processes (e.g., during printing). A control plan defining what is on each roll of printed web product may be updated after editing. Depending on the configuration, the reel editor may be integrated with various manufacturing components. The reel editor may be configured to determine if there is enough waste on the roll to even making editing worthwhile, such as based on desired quality of the images, customer requirements, different price points, among other possible factors.

  • Publication number: 20240140082
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, devices, and optical components are described. One or more materials used in an optical system may be bonded together using a pulsed laser beam. The bonding process may include transmitting a pulsed laser to irradiate an interface between two components, which may include two optical components or an optical component and a mounting component. The pulsed laser may generate one or more bonding locations where the components are in relatively close contact with each other, which may secure the components together via at least partial melting of material at one or more surfaces of the components. In some examples, the pulsed laser may be scanned over the bonding locations some quantity of times and/or using a pattern to achieve the bond. In some aspects, one or more absorbing layers may be added to the components.

  • Publication number: 20240111117
    Abstract: An alignment apparatus for aligning components of an optical assembly include a chuck configured to support the optical assembly thereon, and an adjustable flexure assembly disposed around the chuck. The adjustable flexure assembly includes a plurality of flexures. The plurality of flexures are positioned relative to the chuck such that each of the plurality of flexures contact the optical assembly when the optical assembly is positioned on the chuck.

  • Patent number: 11926997
    Abstract: A wear assembly such as an adapter for a cable shovel having a Whisler-style lip has two legs extending over the lip, and a hole in the legs arranged to align with a hole in the lip. A locking member is inserted in the hole, and hooked around a pivot surface in the lower leg. An actuator is inserted into the hole in the upper leg, and engages with t top end of the locking member. Movement of the actuator causes pivoting of the locking member, and results in the locking member bearing against the lip hole in order to lock the wear assembly in position.

  • Patent number: 11911992
    Abstract: Systems for providing efficient manufacturing of sheet or box structures, corrugate sheets, or other products of varying size and structure often with pre-applied print (“pre-print”) are provided herein. The systems include various features and modules that enable automated control of the corrugator, including the knives, slitters, scorers and cut-to-mark detection system(s), are contemplated. Colored markings may be used to indicate an order change section between two order sections of a roll plan for the manufacturing process. The colored markings are detected as the corrugator runs and, once detected, a controller determines a next set of order instructions—e.g., to match the upcoming order. Thus, an order change may occur, thereby enabling automated control of the corrugator based on the new order instructions. Computer readable markings may enable checking of the actual position in the roll plan to an intended position, enabling stopping or changing of the corrugator operation if needed.

  • Patent number: 11907595
    Abstract: Systems for providing efficient manufacturing of paper, sheet, and/or box products of varying size and structure, often with pre-applied print (“pre-print”), are provided herein. One or more controllers can be used to aggregate orders and information to prepare one or more control plans (e.g., reel maps, reel plans, etc.) for processing a roll of web product through the manufacturing process. The control plan may include a set of instructions for operating one or more systems within the manufacturing process to form the desired finished paper-based product. In such a regard, efficient manufacturing of various paper-based products, including corrugated boxes, folded carton, labels, flexible paper, industrial bags, plates, cups, décor, and many others, can be achieved. Further, efficient customer ordering/tracking, job aggregation, print imposition, corrugator planning, and tracking and adjustments throughout the manufacturing process are contemplated.

The plurality of flexures are positioned relative to the chuck such that each of the plurality of flexures contact the optical assembly when the optical assembly is positioned on the chuck. Adjustment of a position of one or more flexures of the plurality of flexures adjusts an alignment of an optical axis of an optical component of the optical assembly when the optical assembly is positioned on the chuck, wherein the alignment apparatus is configured to align optical axes of the optical component to an angle of deviation of less than about 1,000 ?rad and provide an extinction ratio within the optical assembly of greater than or equal to 1000:1.
