Patent number: 9089887Abstract: An improved method for processing coiled metal sheet is provided, wherein a line threading device is inserted between the metal sheet and the process line surface at the leading edge of the metal sheet. The device is rigid and adapted to glide easily along the process line surface when propelled in a forward direction. The device has an upper surface that includes a plurality of grooves that run perpendicular to the forward direction, and the leading edge of the sheet, when it curves toward the process line surface, does not come into contact with a recess of the process line surface, but instead becomes lodged in a groove of the device, which guides the sheet along the process line surface, and does not impede forward progress.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2012Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: Samuel Steel Pickling CompanyInventors: Rick Lee Snyder, Richard David Ganiere, Victor DeVon Gardener, George Wayne Hartman, Jr.

Publication number: 20140257862Abstract: A system and method provide determining a risk of a natural hazard associated with a piece of real property and identifying mitigatable items located around the property by collecting local data using at least one sensor. The local data includes information related to risk factors associated with the property. In an embodiment, the local data is collected using a mobile computing device that includes at least one sensor and a mobile application. External data may be also combined with the local data for further analysis to identify mitigatable items. After identifying mitigatable items around the property, the mitigatable items can be modified or removed to reduce the risk of a natural hazard associated with the property. The systems and methods further include computing, using a data processor, an insurance premium of an insurance policy using a computed risk level of a natural hazard associated with the property.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2012Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicant: Wildfire Defense Systems, Inc.Inventors: Bradly Jay Billman, Wayne Hartman, Charles L. Oakes, III, Elizabeth Rubin, Mark Zuwala, Emily Gray, Sandra Sausman

Publication number: 20140244318Abstract: A computer-implemented system for collecting and assessing wildfire hazard data comprising a mobile device with an application installed on the mobile device for on-site collection of wildfire hazard data and a wildfire risk assessment provider server. The data collected on the mobile device is merged with data at the wildfire risk assessment provider server to produce underwriting risk scores and reports for insurers, education-aimed recommendations and reports for policyholders, wildfire risk alerts for mobile device application users, strategies for client-to-policyholder wildfire awareness communication, and strategies for wildfire response teams used to drive pre-suppression and active fire actions. A method utilizing the system described above.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2014Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: Wildfire Defense Systems, Inc.Inventors: Robert Drake, Dave Torgerson, Joshua Amidon, Eric Barnes, Tyler Cross, Casey Zaiko, Nick Lauria, Bradly Jay Billman, Wayne Hartman, Arti Bhide, Charles L.

Patent number: 8760285Abstract: A system and method provide determining a wildfire risk associated with home and identifying mitigatable features located on and around the home. An inspection list of questions is presented to a user through a mobile computing device, and images are captured by a camera included in the mobile computing device. In an embodiment, an image can be captured using augmented visual assistance through a mobile application. A wildfire risk associated with the home can be determined at least based on answers to the questions in the inspection list and captured images. In another embodiment, a virtual reality game for simulating a wildfire behavior is provided. The wildfire behavior can be re-simulated during the game after removing or modifying mitigatable features on or around the home. In yet another embodiment, a system and method for determining a building status and location is provided in real-time during an active fire.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2012Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Wildfire Defense Systems, Inc.Inventors: Bradly Jay Billman, Wayne Hartman, Arti Bhide, Charles L.

Patent number: 7398639Abstract: The invention provides a lawn cutting device utilizing high-tech, lightweight bicycle parts, low-friction bearing assemblies, air-filled bicycle-type tires and a double-overdrive gearing system. The device has a body portion, handlebar, a blade assembly, and a variety of combination of wheel gears, gear rings, and chains, which result in a device which a blade assembly which moves at extremely rapid speeds, powered by the rotation of the wheels. Because of its reliance on low-friction bearings, a minimal amount of force exerted on the wheels is transformed in an extremely efficient manner into the rotation of the blade assembly, resulting in an environmentally friendly, energy efficient cutting device that avoids the pollution, inefficiency, and strain associated with traditional gas, electric, and human-powered lawnmowers.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2006Date of Patent: July 15, 2008Inventor: Steven Wayne Hartman
