Publication number: 20170137218Abstract: A material handling system including a receptacle; a loading opening disposed within the receptacle; a transfer opening disposed within the receptacle in adjacent angled relation to the loading opening; and a first compaction plate rotatably coupled proximate the receptacle between the loading opening and the transfer opening. As to particular embodiments, the material handling system can further include a second compaction plate movably disposed proximate the transfer opening. Upon rotation of the first compaction plate toward the second compaction plate in an immovable condition, material disposed between the first and second compaction plates is compacted to generate compacted material. As to particular embodiments, the material handling system can further include a rotatable arm and a rotatable gripper rotatably coupled to a rotatable arm first end. As to particular embodiments, the rotatable arm can be rotatably coupled to an extendable arm which can reversibly extend laterally outward.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2017Publication date: May 18, 2017Applicant: MYTMULE, LLCInventors: Robert Scott Newkirk, Dean Alan Prochnow, Ryan Andrew Marsh

Patent number: 8163219Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for making a rotor blade spar from composite material wherein a multi-component mandrel is used to form the composite spar. The mandrel is made using a number of components, which are assembled to provide a structure that is sufficiently strong to maintain the spar shape during pre-cure lay up, compaction and curing of the composite material. The multiple components used to form the mandrel can be separated from each other and easily removed from the spar either before or after curing of the composite material. The mandrel components can then be re-assembled and re-used to form additional composite spars.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2010Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Hexcel CorporationInventors: Richard A. Callis, Joe White, Jane White, legal representative, Scott Newkirk

Patent number: 7711854Abstract: A computing system is provided that comprises a portable, hand-held computer comprising a display and a plurality of cursor control keys; and a proxy server coupled to the portable computer by a data link. A proxy server is also coupled to at least one remote server on the Internet. The portable computer is adapted to activate a menu comprised of a plurality of entries. Each entry corresponds to at least one mark-up language file to be accessed by the user. The method disclosed herein provides a shorthand way of requesting mark-up language files using one hand and a minimal number of keystrokes. Once the proxy server receives the file, it separates the file into viewable segments and sends the first viewable segment to the portable computer.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2002Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Accenture Global Services GmbHInventors: Terry Robert Ecklund, Patrick Thomas O'Boyle, Andrea Elise Barton, Travis Scott Newkirk, Damon Matthew Herbst

Patent number: 7039591Abstract: A method of configuring an architecture for provision of mobile access to a wireless communication device provides a structured framework for defining a preferential configuration of the architecture. A target list of resources is established with respect to mobile access of a wireless communication device. A set of components, associated with each established resource, is retrieved to form a menu of components of an architecture. Component data, associated with respective components, is presented to facilitate the defining of a preferential configuration. An arrangement is selected of the components from the menu to form the preferential configuration of the architecture.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2002Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: Accenture LLPInventors: Terry Robert Ecklund, Patrick Thomas O'Boyle, Travis Scott Newkirk, A.
