20080261669 | Automatic corn cutter apparatus and method - An apparatus and method for automatically cutting kernels off ears of corn with reduced damage to the kernels are provided. A circular array of movable kernel cutting knives rotates around an axis of rotation. Singulated ears of corn are conveyed along the axis of rotation into and through the array of kernel cutting knives. A sensor is provided for sensing the size and shape of each ear of corn prior to the ear being conveyed into the array of cutting knives and a knife controller moves the array of cutting knives relative to the axis of rotation in response to input from the sensor to efficiently cut the kernels off the cob with reduced damage to the kernels. The ears may be presented to the kernel cutting knives either tip end or butt end first. The cutting depth of the knives may be varied to compensate for variations in thickness of the kernels. In one embodiment, the ears may be presented to the kernel cutting knives with their husks attached. In this embodiment, the husks are sliced longitudinally parallel to the axis of rotation and are again sliced transversely simultaneously with cutting the kernels off the ear. A novel singulator is provided wherein a disc rotating around an inclined axis utilizes centrifugal force to separate and transfer ears of corn onto a chain conveyor which transports the singulated ears to the remainder of the machine. | 10-23-2008 |
20120085247 | Automatic corn cutter apparatus - An automatic corn cutting apparatus for cutting kernels off of husked ears of corn. The ears may be presented to the cutting knives either tip end or butt end first. The ears are fed into the cutting knives by a pair of drive rollers carried by a pair of articulating drive shafts. The drive shafts move in a plane perpendicular to the axis along which the ears are fed to the cutting knives. A sensor, preferably a linear variable differential transformer, or LVDT, is carried by one of the drive shafts remotely from the ears, i.e. the LVDT does not contact the ears. The sensor detects the profile of each ear of corn, and the profile is used by a knife controller to efficiently remove the kernels from each ear of corn. | 04-12-2012 |

20110068488 | HUMIDIFIER WITH FIELD RECONFIGURABLE BYPASS FEATURE - A humidifier for adding humidity to an air stream of an HVAC system includes a housing configured to be mounted to a surface of an HVAC duct. A back side of the housing may be positioned adjacent to an opening in the surface of the HVAC duct, and the housing may be configured to hold a humidifier pad in an operating position. The housing may define a first air flow path from a first side of the humidifier pad to the opening in the surface of the HVAC duct when the housing is mounted to the surface of the HVAC duct. The housing may further define a second air flow path from a second side of the humidifier pad to a bypass aperture. At least part of the second air flow path may be defined by a bypass duct member. The bypass duct member may be field-reconfigurable between at least a first position resulting in the bypass aperture being located at a first location, and a second position resulting in the bypass aperture being located at a second location. In some cases, the first and second locations are on the left and right sides, respectively, of the humidifier housing. | 03-24-2011 |
20130213952 | WIRELESS THERMOSTATIC CONTROLLER ELECTRIC HEATING SYSTEM - An electric heating system controlled with a remote thermostat. The system may incorporate wireless technology and a line voltage equipment interface sub-system. The sub-system may have a line voltage relay and an antenna. The relay may be mounted within an electric heater enclosure. The antenna may be mounted directly on the enclosure. The antenna may receive temperature control signals from a transmitter of the thermostat. The signals may be processed to control a connection of the heater to power with a relay receiving the processed control signals. The control of power to the heater may maintain a temperature approximately equal to a thermostat temperature setting. The antenna and relay electronics may provide a backup control of the heater in the event of, for example, a loss of signals from the thermostat. The backup control may prevent the temperature proximate to equipment interface sub-system from approaching a freezing point. | 08-22-2013 |
20140252248 | UNIVERSAL MOUNT - A mount for mounting an ultraviolet (UV) lamp assembly or other device to a duct wall of an HVAC system. The mount may have a base having a first side and a second side, an aperture extending through the base from the first side to the second side, one or more first mounting features, and one or more second mounting features. To secure a UV lamp assembly to the base, the mount may have a socket allowing at least a portion of the UV lamp to extend through the aperture of the base. To secure the first side of the mount to the duct wall, the first mounting features receives connectors. To secure the second side of the mount to the duct wall, the second mounting features receive connectors. A recess between the second mounting features may facilitate connecting connectors to a duct wall without the duct wall interfering with the secured UV lamp assembly. | 09-11-2014 |

20120038197 | LEG SUPPORT INSERT FOR SEATING APPARATUS - A chair construction is provided including seat inserts that attach to the lower surface of a seat body and are capable of receiving the leg support structure. In one embodiment, the chair includes four plastic seat inserts molded to the lower surface of a plastic seat body. The inserts each include a notch that is sized to receive a portion of the leg support structure, such as a cross member. The cross member can be snap fit into the notch and attach to the insert without attaching directly to the seat body. Fasteners may be used to secure the cross member to the insert. | 02-16-2012 |
