Patent number: 10901300Abstract: A camera system includes a camera and an underwater housing. The underwater housing, when submerged underwater, causes refraction of light entering the camera, thereby affecting focus. The camera includes a lens assembly adjustable between a first secured position at a first distance from an image sensor to enable the camera to capture images that are in focus when the camera is outside of water. The lens assembly is adjustable to a second secured position at a second distance from the image sensor to enable the camera to capture images that are in focus when the camera operates within the underwater housing and submerged under water.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2017Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: Scott Patrick Campbell, Timothy Macmillan, Andrew Vargas Ganzon

Publication number: 20190168865Abstract: A steering assembly includes a movable anchor. Movement of the anchor in a first direction is restricted. A first linkage is coupled to the anchor and a second linkage it rotatably coupled to the first linkage. The second linkage is configured to couple to a contactor. A drive mechanism moves the second linkage relative to the first linkage. At least one of moving the second linkage and moving the anchor maneuvers the contactor to a desired position.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2019Publication date: June 6, 2019Inventors: William E. Hovan, Andrew Varga, Christopher A. Bresh, Jeffrey E. Hunt, John Boath, Peter Kummer, David Klusek, David A. Houser, Ramon Estevez, Jay Hurley, Todd Haeg

Patent number: 9162419Abstract: A laminate design is provided and includes a substrate formed to define through-holes, an initially uncured pre-preg laminate disposed proximate to the substrate and an initially uncured pre-preg staple. The staple includes a main member and legs extending from the main member and being disposable with the legs extending through the through-holes to pierce the laminate. The staple is co-curable with the laminate.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2013Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: SIKORSKY AIRCRAFT CORPORATIONInventors: Jonathan Bremmer, Darryl Mark Toni, Jeffrey G.

Publication number: 20060178336Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a method for the induction of tolerance to a foreign transgene or a self-antigen in an animal host by administration of a composition to an animal host via a natural gastrointestinal pathway. Additionally, the present method can eliminate a pre-existing immune response in an animal host. The composition administered when carrying out the method achieves widespread distribution, systemic expression and sustained delivery of a genetic material in an animal host. More particularly, the invention discloses a method useful for both eliciting tolerance and for abrogation of a pre-existing immune response by oral administration of a genetic material.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2006Publication date: August 10, 2006Inventors: Gonzalo Hortelano, Andrew Vargas

Publication number: 20060030540Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a method of producing transgenic animals by administration of a composition to an animal via a natural gastrointestinal pathway. The composition achieves widespread distribution, systemic expression and sustained delivery in the animal. More particularly, the invention discloses a method for producing a transgenic animal using oral gene therapy. The present invention also provides transgenic animals produced by this method.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2005Publication date: February 9, 2006Applicant: Neox, Inc.Inventors: Gonzalo Hortelano, Andrew Vargas

Publication number: 20020165805Abstract: The bill of material assist tool overcomes or alleviates the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a method and system for managing parts requirements processes, including generating detailed bills of material with key information necessary for component selection and generation and which indicates multiple sources for those components. The system includes a host system including a workstation; a server; a network connection for allowing the workstation and server to communicate; and a storage device coupled to the workstation. The system also includes a data storage device housing databases of parts information, procurement information, computer-aided drafting information, approved vendors lists, and bill of material files. One or more of these databases may be supplemented with or substituted by commercially provided databases and/or applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2001Publication date: November 7, 2002Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Andrew Varga, Ernest Burger, Ghassan Chidiac, Giancarlo Paleschi

Patent number: 3994168Abstract: Prior art, as noted in cited references, shows that the positive displacement fluid meter function is expanded by utilizing rotational drag speed sensing means for modulating electrical energy or pneumatic pressure inputs in consonance with rate of fluid flow; and electromechanical pulse generating means for remotely totalizing fluid flow. Prior art further establishes use of a magnetic coupling means for actuating the fluid meter indicator. The present invention is uniquely distinguishable from prior art by virtue of its structural features, added utility, reliability and singular common means for the actuation of electrical, electromechanical and fluidic pressure means for the remote indication of total flow, flow rates and flow control while simultaneously indicating total flow and flow rate locally as required.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 1974Date of Patent: November 30, 1976Inventor: Andrew Varga
