Patent number: 11712907Abstract: A platen and hoop configured to securely hold a garment in place on a platen. The platen and hoop can be used for automated printing of graphics, such as by direct to garment printing (DTG). The hoop has downward extending hoop sidewalls that can surround the platen structure when the hoop is fitted onto the platen. The platen has platen sidewalls that are hinged to a base of the platen, and which rotate upward to hold a fabric workpiece against the hoop sidewalls to securely hold the fabric workpiece during printing. The platen sidewalls can be formed with inward protruding tabs or feet located at their base, and which cause the platen sidewalls to rotate upward when engaged by the hoop sidewalls.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Inventor: David Bennet Matten

Patent number: 8694722Abstract: Memory systems having a volatile memory, a non-volatile memory arranged in blocks, and a controller coupled to the volatile memory and to the non-volatile memory. The controller is configured to maintain, in the volatile memory, a list of addresses of erased blocks of the non-volatile memory. The list of addresses of erased blocks of the non-volatile memory is limited to a maximum number of list entries. The controller is further configured to transfer the list of addresses of erased blocks of the non-volatile memory from the volatile memory to the non-volatile memory in response to the list containing its maximum number of list entries and/or in response to an operation that would increase the number of list entries to a number equal to or greater than the maximum number of list entries.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2013Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Sergey Anathlievich Gorobets, Alan David Bennet, Alan Welsh Sinclair

Patent number: 7341751Abstract: An extract is made by cooking the fruit of an eggplant for about 15 to 30 minutes at about 120 to about 250° C., extracting the juice from the cooked fruit, and adding an oxidant to the juice that reacts with a component in it and changes its color from beige to black. Eggplants such as the Chinese eggplant and oxidants such as ferrous salts, such as ferrous sulfate, work particularly well. The extract can be formulated into various types of products, including pills, tablets, capsules, suppositories, foams, lotions, creams, and enema liquids. The products may be used for treating a variety of medical conditions, including gastrointestinal inflammation, hemorrhoids, skin inflammation, and other problems.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2006Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Inventor: Justin David Bennet
