Patent number: 11559014Abstract: An irrigation management system which allows for modulation of the watering gradient along crop rows. The system may include dual drip lines which allow for selection of gradients based upon the time each of the dual lines is active. The system may utilize pressure sensitive valves which select drip lines based upon the inlet feed water pressure. The system may include drip emitters which modify flow rates based upon inlet feed water pressure.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2020Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Inventor: Tony Stephen

Publication number: 20220250130Abstract: A tube bending system having a frame, one or more static dies, one or more sliding dies and one or more motors for bending tubes, such as metal tubes, in the form of hoops to create a framework for a greenhouse. The system may include separately leveled frames including a central frame supporting the middle of an arch die, and a pair of lateral frames supporting the lateral sides of the die. An apex clamp on the central frame holds the middle of a straight tube blank against the arch die, while a pair of bending carriages on the lateral frames are displaced to bend the tube blank around the arch die. The apex clamp may move both vertically and longitudinally to cycle between holding the tube blank against the arch die, ejecting the bent tube from the die, and retracting to enable placement of another straight tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2022Publication date: August 11, 2022Inventors: Joseph Gover, Tony Stephens

Patent number: 10969871Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for providing substantially synchronised haptic and audio outputs. The system includes a signal processor which is configured to receive an audio signal from a main processor of the system and to receive a haptic signal, which may be received from the main processor, or may be retrieved from memory, or else may be generated in real-time by the signal processor. The signal processor calculates a delay to be applied to the haptic signal or the audio signal and outputs a delayed version of the audio signal and the haptic signal, or a delayed version of the haptic signal and the audio signal, to appropriate output stages.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2020Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Cirrus Logic, Inc.Inventors: Robert David Rand, Tony Stephen Doy, Thomas Ivan Harvey

Patent number: 9341355Abstract: A layered structure for use with a high power light emitting diode system comprises an electrically insulating intermediate layer interconnecting a top layer and a bottom layer. The top layer, the intermediate layer, and the bottom layer form an at least semi-flexible elongate member having a longitudinal axis and a plurality of positions spaced along the longitudinal axis. The at least semi-flexible elongate member is bendable laterally proximate the plurality of positions spaced along the longitudinal axis to a radius of at least 6 inches, twistable relative to its longitudinal axis up to 10 degrees per inch, and bendable to conform to localized heat sink surface flatness variations having a radius of at least 1 inch. The top layer is pre-populated with electrical components for high wattage, the electrical components including at least one high wattage light emitting diode at least 1.0 Watt per 0.8 inch squared.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2013Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: Metrospec Technology, L.L.C.Inventors: Wm.

Patent number: 8506204Abstract: A strike-off accessory device, which is configured to be mounted on a vehicle, includes a strike-off assembly for leveling the top surface of a bulk material, the strike-off assembly having a first side member, a second side member spaced apart from the first side member by a lateral distance, and at least one rear member disposed between the first side member and the second side member, the at least one rear member including a bottom edge that is configured to contact the bulk material; and a mounting assembly operatively coupled to the strike-off assembly, the mounting assembly configured to structurally support the strike-off assembly from the vehicle. In one embodiment of the invention, the lateral distance between the first member and the second member of the strike-off assembly is selectively adjustable by a user of the strike-off accessory device. In another embodiment, the vehicle is a skid-steer loader.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2011Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Quality Paving LLCInventors: Rex William Reames, Steven Richard Cooper, Robert Eugene Watt, Charles Dallas Sullivan, Tony Stephen Elliott, Luke Cole Reames
