Publication number: 20240367915Abstract: A weighing assembly supplies a predetermined amount of food product based on weight using a weighing machine having a plurality of weigh hoppers. A circular dispersion table having a dome shape distributes pieces of the product across the table by gravity to the weigh hoppers. A diverter chute is located above the dispersion table and includes multiple gates, with each gate configured to change a flow of the pieces of product over a portion of the dispersion table. The diverter chute further comprises an actuator for each gate for opening the gate as directed by a controller. Each actuator includes a piston and a lever arm connected to the piston and connected to a respective gate. An input conveyor drops pieces of food through the diversion chute to the dispersion table.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2023Publication date: November 7, 2024Applicant: General Mills, Inc.Inventors: Kyle Thomas Hart, Alexis Hugunin, David S.

Publication number: 20240145838Abstract: A high power density battery pack for a solar-electric vehicle includes a frame with compartments for battery modules arranged therein. The modules are in thermal communication with a unitary cooling plate disposed underneath. The modules include an array of secondary cells arranged in bottom and top carriers. The bottoms of the cells are in thermal communication with a heat spreader. The cells are oriented with their electrodes in a common plane and electrically isolated by the top carrier. One or more potting materials fills the interstitial spaces between the cells. The cells are connected in parallel and series by interconnects. A module monitoring system tracks the voltage and temperature of the modules. Modules are connected in series by intra-row and inter-row interconnects. A battery management system provides a solar charging mode for both stationary and in-motion vehicle operation, and a low-power quiescent mode when the vehicle is powered down.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: APTERA MOTORS CORP.Inventors: Luke BOCKMAN, Daniel THORP, Diego MEDINA, Thomas HART, Ahmed FOUAD

Publication number: 20230283532Abstract: An organization has or uses an SLA system that selects a service-level agreement (SLA) that should apply to a given user request. The SLA system then can monitor the state of the ticket created based on the user request and provide messages or other feedback to the agent to aid the agent in meeting any performance goals associated with the SLA. The SLA system can determine the SLA to associate with a given user request by inferring a type of the request and selecting the SLA based on the type, or by using a model to directly associate an SLA to a given user request, without the need to infer an intermediate type for the user request, which eliminates the need for administrators to create and maintain metadata to guide the association between types and SLAs.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2022Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Ankit Goyal, Zachary Thomas Hart, Jose Solano, Tanya Butani, William Stone Potter, Suchit Agarwal, Pratyus Patnaik
