Publication number: 20260116732Abstract: Various embodiments include a filling apparatus that can be connected to a valve on a keg, such as a Sankey-D valve, and can be used to pour alcohol and other liquids into the keg, which may be pre-filled with a non-alcoholic drink mix. The filling apparatus has an upper structure which is coupled to a lower portion configured to mate with a keg valve. The filling apparatus may be designed to depress portions of the keg valve to allow for both filling and venting of the keg simultaneously. The filling apparatus may further be designed with features to prevent liquid escape during degassing of the keg. The filling apparatus may include a Sankey-D coupler or a coupler with a probe portion as the lower body portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2025Publication date: April 30, 2026Inventors: William Ray, Don Ray, Benjamin Simon, Robert Cardoze, Nick Marcolini, Bora Gulari

Patent number: 12471834Abstract: An interactive assessment system for measuring neurologic function and method of use are provided herein. The interactive assessment system includes an interactive assessment device comprising an interactive display defining longitudinal and lateral columns of interactive nodes, each interactive node is coupled to a sensor, and has an illumination mode and a delumination mode. The interactive assessment system also including a processing device in communication with the interactive assessment device and configured to perform logic functions based upon user inputs on the interactive assessment device. The processing device includes memory wherein previously input interactions with the interactive assessment device are stored and tagged as successes, failure, or interaction events. The processing device provides instruction to the interactive assessment device to assign nodes to the illumination mode and the delumination mode.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2021Date of Patent: November 18, 2025Inventor: William Ray

Publication number: 20230268074Abstract: A burn assessment chart, method of generation, and system is provided. The chart includes a front profile and a rear profile corresponding to front and rear human profiles, including a head, two arms and two legs. The chart includes longitudinal lines and lateral lines that intersect within either the front or rear profile to form segments that correspond to a percentage of a human's surface area (e.g., 1%, 0.5%, etc.). The segments can be marked at locations that correspond to burn indicators on a patient, and the marked segments counted to easily determine a total percentage of surface area of a human that is burned.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2021Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: William RAY, Renata FABIA, R.
