Publication number: 20240088635Abstract: A tool has a first gripping portion or arm and a second gripping portion or arm hingedly connected to the first gripping portion. The first and second gripping portions define a cable space therebetween sized to receive a cable. A first lever arm and a second lever arm extend from the first gripping portion and the second gripping portion, respectively. A flexure is arranged between the first lever arm and the second lever arm and biases the first and second lever arms into a predetermined position.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: TE Connectivity Solutions GmbHInventors: Kristin Billstrand, Marissa Jayne Feinman, Thomas Emery Backenstoes, Christopher John Gavlak, Matthew Steven Houser

Patent number: 11243010Abstract: A water heater insert device positioned within an electrical showerhead or as a standalone liquids heating device. The water heater insert optimizes heat transfer by channeling water through a channel of a spiral or zigzag form where a deployed heating element supplies thermal energy. The channel maximizes water contact while minimizing the space. A temperature limiter adds protection against scalding.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2018Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: ECONOMICO, LLCInventor: Christopher Emery

Patent number: 10670566Abstract: A system for and method of antimicrobial susceptibility testing includes detecting a resonance peak of a sensor provided with live microbes on a surface thereof; applying a substance to the live microbes; detecting a resonance peak of said sensor after application of said substance; determining a width of a top of each of said resonance peaks before and after application of the substance from one of: (1) a phase angle versus frequency plot where the phase angle is the phase angle of the electrical impedance of said sensor. (2) a real part of a plot of an electrical impedance versus frequency of said sensor.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2016Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: Drexel UniversityInventors: Wan Y. Shih, Wei-Heng Shih, Christopher Emery, Xin Xu, Suresh Joshi, Wei Wu

Patent number: 9796314Abstract: An assembly for mounting a door with a vehicle compartment includes an arm coupled with the compartment and with the door, a track fixed with the compartment, and a carrier pivotably coupled with the door and slidable along the track. The assembly further includes a spring coupled between the door and the compartment such that a contraction of the spring alone causes the door to move with rotation of the arm and movement of the carrier along the track. A track cover engages the carrier to prevent disengagement of the carrier from the track.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2015Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Ford Global Technologies LLCInventors: Michael Neumann, Vikas Saigal, Christopher Emery Fesenmyer, Scott Simon
