  • Patent number: 10132790
    Abstract: A method for receiving data and providing calculated adjustments to a paint application process can comprise receiving at the server a first operating parameter associated with a first paint processing machine at a first painting facility. The method can also comprise receiving at the server a first quality control measurement from an analysis of a finished first paint product. Additionally, the method can comprise accessing from a database a set of historical operating parameters associated with the first painting processing machine. Further, the method can comprise automatically identifying a deficiency in the finished first paint product based upon the first quality control measurement. Further still, the method can comprise transmitting to a mobile computing device screen a proposed adjustment to the first operating parameter that will correct the deficiency.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4583730
    Abstract: A martial arts practice device (2) is provided for programmably simulating the breaking of a variably selective number of boards with actual breakage of smaller less costly slats (4, 76), but requiring comparable impact. A pair of hinged arms (16) and (18) mounted on a frame (6) have one or more slats (4, 76) mounted adjacently therebelow which are broken by the practitioner's impact on the top of the hinged arms (16 and 18). After breakage, the arms are pivoted back to a horizontal position and new slats are loaded for the next sequence.
