Patent number: 11919196Abstract: A manufacturing system includes a tape advancing through the manufacturing system and a station of the manufacturing system. The tape includes a first portion having grains of an inorganic material bound by an organic binder. The station of the manufacturing system receives the first portion of the tape and prepares the tape for sintering by chemically changing the organic binder and/or removing the organic binder from the first portion of the tape, leaving the grains of the inorganic material, to form a second portion of the tape and, at least in part, prepare the tape for sintering.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Michael Edward Badding, William Joseph Bouton, Lanrik Wayne Kester, Thomas Dale Ketcham, Andrew Peter Kittleson, Dale Charles Marshall, Gary Edward Merz, Eric Lee Miller, Emmanuel Chima Okpara, Conor James Walsh

Publication number: 20220341461Abstract: In some implementations, a retention apparatus for retaining a rod in a cylinder rod may include a first retention component and a second retention component. The first retention component may be configured to retain the rod in the cylinder rod. The first retention component may comprise a first surface and a second surface. The portion, of the first surface, may be a threaded surface and may be adjacent to the second surface. The portion may be configured to be threaded onto the cylinder rod to cause the second surface to retain the second retention component in the cylinder rod and to cause the second retention component to engage the rod. The second retention component may be configured to engage the rod.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2021Publication date: October 27, 2022Applicant: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Gabriel J. ELLICOTT, Matthew Wayne WALSH, Brett BURKE, Jeffory Troy CURRY

Patent number: 10246158Abstract: Provided is an accessory for a self-balancing board having two lateral foot-deck ends, each being coupled to a motor that drives a wheel in response to its orientation. The foot-deck has at least one sensor that is triggered when a rider is in a riding position thereon. The accessory includes a chassis, at least one travel surface-contacting element, a seat, and an engagement structure that releasably engages the self-balancing board. At least one sensor-triggering element is actuatable between an idle position and a triggering position, wherein the at least one sensor-triggering element triggers the at least one sensor. At least one control member actuates at least one of the engagement structure and the at least one sensor-triggering element to control the orientation of the lateral foot-deck ends. At least one manually actuatable actuator actuates the at least one sensor-triggering element between the idle position and the triggering position.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2018Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Inventors: Tyler Kroymann, Colm Marum, Barry Ryan, Wayne Walsh

Patent number: 9789924Abstract: An accessory for a self-balancing board is provided. The self-balancing board comprises a foot-deck having two lateral foot-deck ends. Each lateral foot-deck end is coupled to a motor that drives a wheel in response to an orientation of the lateral foot-deck end relative to a horizontal plane. The foot-deck has at least one sensor that is triggered when a rider is in a riding position thereon. The accessory includes a chassis, at least one travel surface-contacting element coupled proximal to a first longitudinal end of the chassis to facilitate travel of the chassis over a travel surface, and a seat coupled to the chassis and configured to support the rider. The accessory further includes an engagement structure that releasably engages the self-balancing board and fails to trigger the at least one sensor.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2017Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: YVOLVE SPORTS LTD.Inventors: Tyler Kroymann, Colm Marum, Wayne Walsh
