Publication number: 20240141887Abstract: A valve component utilized in a fluid end assembly of a reciprocating pump may contain a multi-piece construction. The valve component may include a valve body portion, a leg assembly portion, a sealing element, and an insert at least partially captured between the valve body portion and the leg assembly portion. The insert may be constructed from a carbide or a ceramic material, and, when the valve component is fully assembled, may be compressed between the valve body portion and the leg assembly portion. The insert may at least partially form the strike surface of the valve component. The valve body portion and the leg assembly portion may both be constructed from a metallic material, and the valve body portion may define a sealing seat. The sealing element may be constructed from an elastomeric material that may be pre-formed and then compression molded onto the seat of the valve body.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Troy Edward Wiegand, John Chase

Publication number: 20240123785Abstract: A joint assembly couples a linear actuator to a body. The joint assembly includes a first body having a first surface and a second body having a second surface. The first body is coupled with the second body. The first surface and the second surface have arcuate configurations that are complementary to facilitate rotation of the first body relative to the second body about a first axis, a second axis, orthogonal to the first axis, and a third axis, orthogonal to both the first axis and the second axis. The joint assembly also includes a damper disposed between the first body and the second body and configured to dampen translational motion of the first body toward the second body in response to movement of the linear actuator relative to the body.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Troy A.

Patent number: 11935292Abstract: In a method or system in which an imaging element views navigation elements for e.g. navigation, the navigating elements may not be positioned optimally. Positions may exist in which the same angles exist from the imaging element to the same or similar navigating elements, whereby the positions are not unique. Navigation elements may then be repositioned, added or removed to make the positions unique.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Carnegie Robotics, LLCInventors: David Ian Robinson, Troy Edward Tancraitor, David Larose

Publication number: 20240070595Abstract: A method for evaluating performance of an operator of a service vehicle, such as a cleaning vehicle, is disclosed. While the operator operates the service vehicle, sensor readings related to the operation of the service vehicle are collected, by means of one or more sensors of the service vehicle. The collected sensor readings are compared to a set of predefined corresponding sensor values reflecting operation of the service vehicle, and performance of the operator is evaluated based on the comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: John BARES, Patrick MONDI, Claus THYBO, Troy Edward TANCRAITOR, Leonid AGAFONOV

Patent number: 11877118Abstract: The present disclosure provides a magnetic system within a case for an electronic accessory. The case may include a housing portion and a lid coupled to the housing portion. Within the housing portion may be a housing magnet. The housing magnet may be oriented such that the magnetic field of the housing magnet is oriented transverse to a longitudinal axis of the case. The housing magnet may have a size and strength to magnetically couple the electronic accessory within a cavity of the housing. A hinge magnet may be located along an axis of rotation of the lid with respect to the housing. The hinge magnet and housing magnet may magnetically interact to form a bistable magnetic hinge. Thus, the one housing magnet may be large enough and have a strong enough magnetic field to perform various functions.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2023Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Bryan Macomber, Troy Edwards, Melissa Zucker, Peter Michael Cazalet, Kevin Kurtz, Yao Ding
