Patents by Inventor Shigeru Takeshima

Shigeru Takeshima has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10118313
    Abstract: This invention generally relates to a mixing at least one material with at least one other material within an in-line mixing device. In one example embodiment methods, apparatuses, and systems are described to treat, reuse or otherwise remediate dredged or raw material from bottom sediment or other sources through the mixture of raw material and another material such as a hardening agent into a homogenous material for contamination remediation, use as construction materials or other uses.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 20, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 6, 2018
    Assignee: JAFEC USA, Inc.

  • Patent number: 10030346
    Abstract: The system, method and apparatus described relates generally to a method of Direct Power Compaction (DPC). In one example embodiment to methods, apparatus, and systems to compact loose ground by vibration and compaction of H piles driven by vibrators or drivers (vibro-hammer). The DPC method is an efficient and highly economical technique for densifying loose soils. In the procedure piles, with an innovative H pattern structure, are driven in the ground using a combination of downward and vibratory force to move particles of the loose or sandy soil closer together and reduce the voids between them. Subsequent backfilling and vibration at the H-pile sites achieves the highest density possible and provides for an improvement ground soil structure and load bearing capacity.

  • Publication number: 20170167099
    Abstract: This invention relates generally to mixing deep soil with a ground or floating based rig system with a single or multi-axial system. In one example embodiment methods, apparatus, and systems are described for deep soil mixing tools or rigs with a rotary axial design, namely with more than one axial mixing elements and associated structures, such that a purpose may be to provide for ground modification improvement.

  • Patent number: 4906142
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to side cutting blades for use with multi-shaft auger machines which mix soil with a chemical hardener in situ to form soilcrete columns. The side cutting blades includes two parallel blades which cut the soil between the adjacent columns along planes approximately tangential to the periphery of adjacent columns. As the soil is cut by the cutting blades, the soil is thoroughly mixed with a chemical hardening agent. Adjacent soilcrete columns are integrally connected by substantial column overlap without physically moving the columns closer together or performing multiple borings on the soil adjacent to the columns formed by the initial boring.The side cutting blades are particularly suited for use with a multi-shaft auger machine which has minimal column overlap.
