Patent number: 12243025Abstract: A system for interfacing predetermined services to a user at a fixed location includes a processing platform running an operating system. The system further includes a data store for storing configuration information for enabling the operating system to interface with available physical system resources through the physical system resource interface associated therewith. A communication resource for interfacing with the operating system allows communication of the operating system with a central office for downloading configuration information to selectively enable ones of the available physical system resources to interface with the operating system through associated ones of the physical system resource interfaces in accordance with the configuration information and the predetermined service selected by a user. A plurality of configurations is stored in the data store, and each is associated with a predetermined service and one or more of the available physical system resources.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Ganart Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Anthony M.

Publication number: 20230228602Abstract: Flow meters are disclosed that provide improved measurements of fluid flowing through fan coils. A flow meter includes a body that defines an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path extending along a longitudinal axis between the inlet and the outlet. The flow meter also includes transducers coupled to the body and exposed to the flow path defined by the body. The transducers are configured to transmit and receive a signal travelling through the flow path to measure a flow rate of fluid of the fan coil. The flow meter also includes one or more reflectors coupled to the body and exposed to the flow path defined by the body.

Patent number: 11304461Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a unitary article of clothing, typically referred to as a jumpsuit, comprising a jacket section and a pant section, one connected to the other by means of a joiner band. The joiner band is attached to both the jacket and pant sections and serves to provide additional warmth to a midsection of a user by providing at least three layers of fabric over the user's midsection. In addition to providing additional warmth, the joiner band also gives the jumpsuit the appearance of being a two-piece suit comprised of a sweater independent from the jogging pants. The jacket portion is also comprised of a closeable opening to allow a user to get into the pant section of the jumpsuit and subsequently also wear the jacket portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2018Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Inventors: Derek Wayne Martin, Mario Albert Leblanc, Marcel Maurice Leblanc

Patent number: 11268501Abstract: A closed-loop hydraulic circuit includes a piston chamber housing a piston rod and a ram piston coupled to an end of the piston rod, and a pump in fluid communication with the piston chamber at first and second hydraulic ports. Pumping a hydraulic fluid to the first hydraulic port causes a forward stroke of the ram piston and the piston rod, and pumping the hydraulic fluid to the second hydraulic port causes a return stroke of the ram piston and the piston rod within the piston chamber. An accumulator is in fluid communication with the pump and the piston chamber, and a 3-2 valve is actuatable between a first position, where pressurized hydraulic fluid is conveyed from the accumulator to the pump during the forward stroke, and a second position, where excess hydraulic fluid is conveyed from the first hydraulic port to the accumulator during the return stroke.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2020Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Hydraquip, Inc.Inventor: Eric Wayne Martin

Publication number: 20180128519Abstract: A closed loop system utilizing a solar refrigerant turbocharger and pump in conjunction with a solar collector to operate a heating and cooling system for a building by utilization of a renewable energy source. The liquid pump within the solar turbocharger is used to boost the refrigerant pressures into the solar collector, the refrigerant absorbs heat inside the solar collector and changes phase from a liquid to a vapor. The vapor is expanded across the turbine causing the turbine to spin. The ability of the refrigerant to change phase or flash from a liquid to a vapor is due to the solar energy that is transferred from evacuated tubes into the solar collector manifold and into the refrigerant. The gas is routed to the solar turbo pump turbine to drive the compressor and liquid pump. The resulting fluid gas leaving the turbine is routed to the condenser for normal operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2017Publication date: May 10, 2018Applicant: Joi Scientific, Inc.Inventor: Wayne Martin Poerio

Patent number: 9649802Abstract: An apparatus and method for the pelletization of waxes, wax-like and other materials having a sharp melt point include a vessel for forming the wax into a hot molten material. A heat exchanger then cools the molten wax to a temperature just above its melt temperature. The cooled liquid wax is fed to an extruder which further reduces the temperature and mixes the liquid wax into a thoroughly mixed extrudable solid wax. The solid wax is then extruded through die orifices of a die plate into a cutting chamber, and a rotary cutter cooperating with the die face of the die plate cuts the extruded solid wax strands into pellets. The die plate, cutting chamber and rotary cutter can have the same structure as an underwater pelletizer, but operating without water or liquid as a dry face pelletizer. The thus formed wax pellets drop out of the cutting chamber by gravity through an opening in the bottom thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2013Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: GALA INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Boonlert Thepsimuang, J.

Patent number: 9610829Abstract: A hybrid multi-material outerbelt reinforcement assembly includes a metal body having a first leg and a second leg oriented at an angle with respect to the first leg. The second leg is integrally connected to the first leg defining a junction. A polymeric material reinforcing rib has a rib end contacting the junction and has a rib body extending away from the junction and bisecting the angle between the first leg and the second leg. The reinforcing rib has a rib length extending for substantially an entire length of the metal body. Flanges are integrally connected to the reinforcing rib, each having a first flange portion and a second flange portion each contacting the metal body to mitigate against a torsional rotation of the metal body that increases or decreases the angle of the second leg with respect to the first leg.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2016Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: DURA OPERATING, LLCInventors: Aaron Brion Stachewicz, Alex Wayne Martin, Suhant Prajwal Reddy Ranga
