Publication number: 20230081484Abstract: A dolly system that is constructed to removeably cooperate with bulk material can(s) or bin(s) to facilitate convenient transport thereof. The dolly system includes a base having a plurality of caster wheels. A bin facing side of the base includes a boss and one or more threads that are shaped to index a respective material bin relative to the base and restrict axial translation therebetween. A catch is defined by the base and engages the bin to resist opposite rotational translation therebetween. The dolly system can include an optional brake assembly supported by the base and selectively operable to resist translation and/or tipping of the dolly system and one or more optional connection brackets for selectively connecting a plurality of discrete dollies and respective bins relative to one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Michael Young, Tim Larson, Tyler Jenne

Patent number: 11447355Abstract: A feed assembly for dispensing rolled web material from a bulk roll of material and that includes a feed drum and a pair of pinch rollers that cooperate with the feed drum. The feed drum and pinch rollers are oriented and constructed to mitigate jamming and/or undesired displacement of the web material as it progresses through the feed assembly. Preferably, a drum guard is disposed between the pinch rollers and is constructed to further mitigate undesired translation of the web material relative to the feed assembly during dispense operations.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: San Jamar, Inc.Inventors: Jarod Sulik, Bernie Ziebart, Tim Larson, Michael Young

Patent number: 8575492Abstract: A device and method of heat sinking a surface mount device (SMD) component. In an example method through holes are formed in a printed circuit board (PCB), a first copper layer is electroless plated in the holes, a second copper layer is standard plated in the holes and surrounding surfaces of the PCB, a third copper layer is masked and pulse plated in the holes, the holes are filled with non-conductive material and then is sanded flush with the second copper layer. A fourth copper layer electroless plated on the PCB over the area of the holes, a fifth copper layer (or pad) plated on the PCB over the area of the holes, and a surface mount device is attached to the fifth copper layer.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2012Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Lee H. Tullidge, Leonard De Oto, Tim Larson, Patrick O'Keefe, Herb Gertz

Publication number: 20050099766Abstract: The invention provides apparatus and methods for a removable and transportable mass data storage system assimilating multiple levels of abstraction, automation and hot-swappable, fault-tolerant modularization. In providing such a system, a means for or method of reducing or bypassing the amount of time needed for information exchange before such system can be removed and transported is provided. The means or method enables the information to be quickly physically transported from a hardware platform in which it was acquired to a hardware venue in which it could be examined, offloaded, stored, safeguarded, or the like. The means or method would enable rapid insertion of blank media for an immediate continuance of any originating process. The means or method would facilitate rapid exchanges of databases, expert systems, multimedia content, reconnoitered information, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2004Publication date: May 12, 2005Inventors: Peter Fraley, Ronald Major, Tim Larson, Adam Blomberg, Slava Gekht, Dale Hoepner, Rodney Berg, Richard Vignes, Jeffrey Haider

Publication number: 20050092727Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus comprised of a heater system used for a mass data storage module. The system is configured to maintain the correct operating temperature for drives of the module when the ambient temperature and/or initial, starting temperature is outside of the range of temperatures required for reliable operation of the drives and as appropriate, to report issues to a user via in-band (i.e., the host system data path) and out-of-band (supplemental user communication links) interfaces. Pulse width modulation is used in distributing heat across the drives with the implementation of a rotating “seed” methodology, rather than a variable duty cycle.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2004Publication date: May 5, 2005Inventors: Peter Fraley, Ronald Major, Tim Larson, Slava Gekht, Rodney Berg, Richard Vignes, Jeffrey Haider
