Publication number: 20240066741Abstract: A cutting device for cutting a pipe having a pipe wall. The cutting device includes an elongate carrier having a tool end which is engageable with a power tool and an opposed free end. The device includes a guide wheel located at the free end of the carrier which is loosely mounted thereon for rotation relative thereto, having a bearing surface extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the carrier. The device also includes a cutting element having a peripheral cutting edge which is located adjacent to the guide wheel being positioned intermediate the guide wheel and the tool end. The cutting element is of greater transverse dimension than the guide wheel so that when the bearing surface bears against an internal surface of the pipe the distance between the cutting edge of the cutting element and the bearing surface enables the cutting element to cut through the pipe wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Frelk Industries Pty. Ltd.Inventors: Fraser Thomas O'Keefe, Andrew Loch, William McMinn, Michael James Elkington

Publication number: 20230376505Abstract: A computer-implemented method of managing online bookings for transportation services inventory is provided. The computer-implemented method establishes a channel interface that provides bidirectional communication between at least one server computing device and a vendor computing device. Furthermore, the computer-implemented method stores, via a channel data structure, a channel record for each of a plurality of distribution channels. Additionally, the computer-implemented method receives, from the vendor computing device through the channel interface, a selection, from the plurality of distribution channels, of one or more participant channels for a transportation service. The computer-implemented method also establishes, via the channel data structure, one or more active channel records based upon the one or more participant channels for the transportation service.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: SurgeTech, LLCInventors: Andrew Loch, Helen Johnson, Geoffrey Toogood, Daniel Paul Ruul
