Title: Dispenser for granular material with a valve assembly
Inventor: WILLISTON KYLE
IPC: A47J31/46
Filed: 2015-10-30
Abstract: Described herein is an apparatus and method for dispensing a granular material. The apparatus includes a hopper for storing the granular material and a feeder for delivering the granular material through a hopper outlet to a dispensing tube that is configured to guide the granular material towards a dispensing outlet. The valve assembly is actuatable to pinch and unpinch the dispensing tube, thereby blocking and unblocking the passage of material. The valve assembly is configured to receive a resilient portion of the dispensing tube, and is actuatable to pinch the resilient portion of the dispensing tube to inhibit passage of the granular material to the dispensing port, and to unpinch said resilient potion of the dispensing tube to enable passage of the granular material through the dispensing port.  The dispensing tube may be sloped between the hopper outlet and the valve assembly. Sloping of the dispensing tube promotes sliding of the granular material along an inner surface of the dispensing tube. This focusses the flow profile of the granular material, and reduces the scattering of granular material outside the vessel.

Title: Dunnage conversion machine jam-detection system and method
Inventor: PARK KEVIN W
IPC: B31D5/00
Filed: 2014-05-16
Abstract: A jam-sensing method for a dunnage conversion machine includes the following steps: (a) converting a stock material into a relatively less dense dunnage material having characteristics that vary along the length of the dunnage material; (b) sensing the characteristics of the dunnage material; (c) generating a signal that varies as a function of the sensed characteristics; (d) monitoring the generated signal over time; and (e) generating a control signal when variation in the generated signal within a predetermined period is less than a predetermined amount, which would indicate a lack of movement of the material. This control signal can used to shut down the conversion process, thereby minimizing the extent of the jam condition.

Patent CA-2913202-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MARSALA ALBERTO F
IPC: G01V3/08
Filed: 2014-06-06
Abstract: An electromagnetic sensing system operates either in land environments or in marine environments on the floor of a body of water to measure electromagnetic fields. The sensing system has electrodes that provide capacitive coupling to the local environment where measurements are being made. A new method of deployment in water provides considerable size and weight reductions. The size and weight reductions also facilitate deployment and rapid repositioning on land. The system is particularly beneficial for surveying sites adjacent to bodies of water.
Patent CA-2914156-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MACKENZIE DAVID P
IPC: B62D33/027
Filed: 2015-12-08
Abstract: A conventional truck box (OEM build) having a box floor, side walls and a pivotal tail gate is supplemented by two tail gate latch extensions. Each tail gate latch extension includes a hook assembly at one end with a clevis style adapter at the other end. The hook assemblies are designed to be attached to the tail gate latch pins located near the top of the truck box assembly at the tail gate ends. The clevises (latch assemblies) are designed as two pronged forks, housing rollers between the forked ends that will be latched into the tail gate latching mechanisms when the tail gate is in a partially closed position. Together the hook assemblies and latch assemblies form two tail gate extensions that are installed at each end of the tail gate at the latching positions. This allows for the tail gate to be partially closed securing larger items in the truck box that would normally prevent the tail gate from latching in the fully closed position (Example # 1 - ATV in a 6 foot truck box). This partially closed tail gate position is advantageous for both the added security of large items in the truck box and the prevention of tail gate damage caused by vehicle operation while the tail gate is in the fully down (open) position.

Title: Surgical stapling and cutting device and method for using the device
Inventor: SMITH KEVIN W
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2006-07-25
Abstract: A medical device includes a control handle having an articulation joint actuator, a surgical end effector, and a passive articulating joint connecting the end effector to the control handle. The articulation joint actuator, when unactuated, holds the passive articulation joint and , thereby, the end effector, in a substantially fixed articulation position, and, when actuated, releases the passive articulation joint into a freely articulating state to permit free articulation of the end effector with respect to the control handle dependent upon external forces acting upon the end effector. A method for operating the end effector includes retaining the passive articulation joint in a stable position with an articulation lock and actuating a release of the articulation lock to unlock the passive articulation joint and, thereby, permit articulating motion of the end effector through the passive articulation joint dependent upon the external forces acting upon the end effector.
