The first pair of rollers is configured to support a first end of a pipe reel. The system also includes a first cradle disposed longitudinally between the first pair of rollers and a second pair of rollers coupled to a second side of the frame. The second pair of rollers is configured to support a second end of a pipe reel. The system also includes a second cradle disposed longitudinally between the second pair of rollers, a pipe guide coupled to a third side of the frame between the first and second sides, a pipe brake coupled to the frame, and a pipe re-spooler coupled to the frame.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2020Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Trinity Bay Equipment Holdings, LLCInventors: Tim Franklin-Hensler, Jonathan Guerrero, Richard Limas

Publication number: 20160350832Abstract: A recommender system for use on a mobile platform or other computing device provides a user with a recommended list of products with default product quantities that are based on prior purchase behavior of the user or customer. This feature relies on analyzing a customer's past purchases and associating a score with each product. The scoring system indicates the statistical likelihood that the customer would want or need to purchase that item on their next order. The customer analysis takes into account, e.g., the number of times a customer has ordered a product, how frequently the product is ordered by the customer, how many days since the respective customers last order and the customers average order size in providing the recommended list of products.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2016Publication date: December 1, 2016Inventors: Tim FRANKLIN, Robert HIRSCH, Joseph WATTS, Andrew KANG, Dan MCQUILLAN, Grant ALLOR, Olga OPALKO, Michael HOGAN

Publication number: 20160182814Abstract: An example computer-implemented method for following a target comprises receiving digital image information from a digital camera having an adjustable field of view of an environment, displaying via a display device a plurality of candidate targets that are followable within the environment, computer-recognizing user selection of a candidate target to be followed in the image environment, and machine-adjusting the field of view of the camera to follow the user-selected candidate target.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2014Publication date: June 23, 2016Inventors: Mark Schwesinger, Simon P. Stachniak, Tim Franklin

Patent number: 9342160Abstract: Users move their hands in a three dimensional (“3D”) physical interaction zone (“PHIZ”) to control a cursor in a user interface (“UI”) shown on a computer-coupled 2D display such as a television or monitor. The PHIZ is shaped, sized, and positioned relative to the user to ergonomically match the user's natural range of motions so that cursor control is intuitive and comfortable over the entire region on the UI that supports cursor interaction. A motion capture system tracks the user's hand so that the user's 3D motions within the PHIZ can be mapped to the 2D UI. Accordingly, when the user moves his or her hands in the PHIZ, the cursor correspondingly moves on the display. Movement in the z direction (i.e., back and forth) in the PHIZ allows for additional interactions to be performed such as pressing, zooming, 3D manipulations, or other forms of input to the UI.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2015Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Richard Bailey, David Bastien, Mark Schwesinger, Emily Yang, Adam Smith, Oscar Murillo, Tim Franklin, Jordan Andersen, Christian Klein

Publication number: 20130200645Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of an adaptable vehicular storage system to secure and store cargo items. In one embodiment, a panel is incorporated inside a vehicle which defines at least one vertical surface, and attachment members are selectively positionable to attach cargo items to the panel. The adaptable vehicular storage system can also comprise cargo bins, nets, and rails to allow storage of different cargo items. The different attachment members can be positioned on the panel to customize the storage system to adapt to secure cargo items based on the cargos size and shape, and the vehicles' storage space and location.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2012Publication date: August 8, 2013Applicant: Nissan North America, Inc.Inventors: Richard Miller, Tim Franklin
