Patent number: 11937548Abstract: A system and method for sensing an edge of a region includes at least one distance sensor configured to detect a plurality of distances of objects along a plurality of adjacent scan lines. A controller is in communication with the at least one distance sensor and is configured to determine a location of an edge of a region within the plurality of adjacent scan lines. The controller includes a comparator module configured to compare values corresponding to the detected plurality of distances, and an identification module configured to identify the location of the edge of the region according to the compared values. In one example, the values corresponding to the detected plurality of distances include couplets of standard deviations that are analyzed and selected to identify the location of the edge.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Raven Industries, Inc.Inventors: James Edward Slichter, Andrew Joseph Pierson, Derek Michael Stotz, Jonathan William Richardson

Publication number: 20230237557Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for facilitating migration of electronic shopping carts between devices. A user generates an electronic shopping cart based on interacting with a merchant website using a first device. In response to receiving a request for transferring the electronic shopping cart, cart data associated with the electronic shopping cart is obtained. The cart data is encoded, using a selected encoding technique, into a code, which can be a phrase, an emoji string, a QR code, or an image of a face that can be transferrable to a second device. The code is presented on the first device. In response to receiving the code from the second device, the electronic shopping cart is re-generated based on the cart data extracted from the code. The electronic shopping cart is made accessible to the user via the second device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Greg Anthony Vannoni, Joshua Buck Powers, Aaron Whitfield Ross, Jon William Axelson, Nicolle Elise Mathews, William Richardson, Harsh Rajesh Vachhani, Atul Sanjeev Rai

Patent number: 11324900Abstract: A dry powder inhaler (1) for pulmonary or nasal use, employing capsules (6) containing a dose of powder for inhalation, comprising four components: a capsule tray (2), a cover (4) and a mouthpiece (8) and an inhaler body (3). Air is drawn by the patient via the mouthpiece (8) which is in communication with the capsule (6) and travels via air paths through the device (1) and through the capsule (6) thereby dispersing and entraining the dose of powder. The capsule (6) is cut by cutting means (18, 19) located on the body (3). The inhaler body (3), the mouthpiece (8) and the cover (4) are provided with hinge segments (20, 35, 42) which when assembled together and the mouthpiece (8) is locked into the body (3), form a single hinge (5) and which allows the cover (4) to freely pivot around the body (3) and the mouthpiece (8).Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2015Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: HOVIONE TECHNOLOGY LTD.Inventors: Ian McDerment, Peter Villax, João Ventura, William Richardson

Publication number: 20220032833Abstract: A ground to vehicle loading device for loading cargo on a vehicle includes a frame that is pivotally mountable by a first end to a vehicle adjacent to a cargo area thereof. The frame is selectively pivotable from a first configuration to a second configuration. In the first configuration, the frame extends transversely from the cargo area to a surface upon and positioned for loading. In the second configuration, the frame is substantially horizontally and positioned to transfer the load to the cargo area. A leg is pivotally coupled to the frame proximate to a second end of the frame. A plurality of spikes is coupled to and extends from the leg distal from the frame. The spikes engage the surface to transition the frame from the first configuration to the second configuration as the vehicle pulls on the first end of the frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2020Publication date: February 3, 2022Inventor: William Richardson
