Publication number: 20240111285Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for using and dispatching an autonomous delivery. A wireless communications network may receive a request to delivery one or more items to a site and also determine that the autonomous delivery vehicle is the closest in location to the site from a plurality of autonomous vehicles. Additionally, the wireless communications network may determine that the autonomous delivery vehicle has stored thereon, the one or more requested items. The autonomous delivery vehicle may then receive by way of a wireless communication network, the request to delivery one or more items to an infrastructure site. The autonomous delivery vehicle then uses the location of the site to autonomously deliver the one or more items.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Stephen Matthew Jones, Robert Corey Farmer, George Marc Myers, II

Publication number: 20210103903Abstract: A system for shopping for goods and services includes computerized central communications facilities (central facilities) and computerized remote communications facilities (remote facilities) connected by a communications network(s), and means permitting data communications between them. Central facilities offer goods and services, some in competition with each other, and store in addition to data, video such as graphics and images, and audio such as voice and music. An input device(s) for each remote facility permits customers to access the data, video, and audio. Communications devices for each remote facility also enable that facility to receive and download the data, video, and audio. Remote facilities are adapted to enable a customer, after viewing the data, video, and audio, to select their purchase and remit payment. Central facilities can generate and transmit to the remote facility transaction specific documentation relative to the purchase so executed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2019Publication date: April 8, 2021Inventor: Stephen Corey Wren

Publication number: 20200206652Abstract: Methods and apparatus for nanowave extraction are disclosed. In some embodiments, an extraction column comprises a body comprising a vertical standing pressure vessel; one or more inlet openings at a base of the pressure vessel to receive at least one primary restrictive perforation to control a flow of incoming solvent entering the extraction column; an outlet opening at a top portion of the pressure vessel to receive at least one secondary restrictive perforation to filter extraneous sediment trapped within an extracted effluent; a positive pressure pump configured to provide a pressurize solvent to the one or more inlet openings at the base of the pressure vessel; a controlling computer configured to generate a pressure wave in the solvent, wherein the pressure wave causes the raw materials to repeatedly lock to a side of the extraction column and then break free from the side of the extraction column.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2019Publication date: July 2, 2020Inventor: Stephen Corey

Publication number: 20200016510Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for extracting compounds from raw materials. One such apparatus may include an extraction column where it is a one column, one pass design capable of withstanding high temperatures and pressure. Additionally, the extraction column may also be capable of containing a self-perpetuating energy cycle used to achieve the required solubilization and mass transfer temperatures necessary for optimal extraction. The apparatus may also include a first opening and a second opening to control the flow of incoming solvent and filter extraneous sediment trapped within the fully extracted effluent. Additionally, the apparatus may be configured to create a self-perpetuating and self-sustaining energy cycle by manipulating the pressure and temperature generated within the apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2019Publication date: January 16, 2020Applicant: California Extraction Ventures, Inc.Inventor: Stephen Corey

Publication number: 20190388800Abstract: A method and apparatus for extracting compounds from raw materials with an extraction column is provided. The control and manipulation of pressure exerted and contained within the extraction vessel or column may be vital in obtaining a certain flavor profile or intensity of the effluent extracted from the raw materials. As such, the method may include directing a flow of pressurized solvent into a base of the extraction column and utilizing the flow of pressurized solvent to create a pressure gradient applied to the raw materials. The method may further include compressing the raw materials with hydraulic compression. As the raw materials become further compressed, frictional heating may result allowing most, if not all, of the volatile aromatic heat sensitive compounds and constituencies to be extracted depending on the pressure strength applied to the raw materials.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2019Publication date: December 26, 2019Applicant: California Extraction Ventures, Inc.Inventor: Stephen Corey

Publication number: 20190270033Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a matrix of raw materials that form an interlocking network of varied particle grind sizes that allows the particles to nest and interlock with one another when packed into an extraction vessel, so that most, but not all of the interstitial spacing within the matrix of raw materials is closed. The varied particle sizes may be selected by pre-determined weight ranges and size classifications so that the particle grind sizes achieve the desired consistency uniformity. This may allow the network of particles to act as its own best filtering agent during the extraction process. Moreover, the nesting and interlocking network of the particles within the matrix of raw materials may allow the particles to be effectively packed within the extraction column, thus allowing for an efficient and high quality extraction to be performed consistently each and every time.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2019Publication date: September 5, 2019Applicant: California Extraction Ventures, Inc.Inventor: Stephen Corey

Patent number: 10207200Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for extraction compounds from raw materials. The control and manipulation of heat formed and contained within the extraction vessel or column may be vital in obtaining a certain flavor profile or intensity of the effluent extracted from the raw materials. As such, the solvent entering the apparatus to extract the raw materials may be heated to a specified temperature range with the aid of energy already formed within the extraction column. The apparatus to extract the raw materials may include a body comprising a pressure vessel capable of withstanding high temperatures and pressures. Additionally, a flow of pressurized solvent may enter the base of the extraction column, where the flow of pressurized solvent has a select temperature such that the temperature may be manipulated to obtain a distinct flavor profile of the effluent extracted from the raw materials.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2016Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: California Extraction Ventures, Inc.Inventor: Stephen Corey
