Publication number: 20230422445Abstract: Various aspects include devices, systems, and methods for cooling a heatsink of electronic equipment immersed in an immersion coolant tank with a coolant shroud. The coolant shroud includes side walls and a covering wall. The side walls mounted on a mounting surface within the immersion coolant tank and on which the heatsink is secured and at least one of the side walls includes a fluid port and a fluid aperture. The covering wall extends from and between the side walls, wherein the side walls and the covering wall together form a cooling chamber that receives the heatsink. Dielectric fluid inside the cooling chamber is in fluid communication with dielectric fluid outside the cooling chamber via the fluid aperture. The fluid port is in fluid communication with a dielectric fluid pump disposed outside the cooling chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Derek GORDON, Jr., John BEAN, Jr., Jerry MAYFIELD, Clay BAKER

Patent number: 9155351Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a ski boot system including an upper shell, lower shell, and an articulation system. The upper and lower shell function to enable a user to move their encased foot in various dimensions/orientations corresponding to anatomical supination, pronation, dorsiflexion, and plantarflexion. The articulation system selectively affects the articulation freedom between the upper and lower shells in locked and unlocked configurations. The articulation system includes a lower shell coupler and an upper shell coupler coupled to the lower and upper shells, respectively. The locked configuration of the articulation system includes engaging the upper and lower shell couplers to restrict freedom between the upper and lower shell. The lower shell coupler is coupled within a recess in the lower shell that substantially restricts movement to a single orientation corresponding to coronal rotation.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2008Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd.Inventors: David Narajowski, Jacob Hall, Brendan Perkins, David Mellon, Derek Gordon Gustafson, Paul Terry, Thomas Laakso

Publication number: 20150204969Abstract: A method for determining location information for a target may include generating a cyclic transmit signal having a fixed frequency slope over a substantial portion of each cycle and an operational frequency that is selected to penetrate foliage, transmitting the cyclic transmit signal without up-conversion with at least one transmit antenna, down-converting two or more return signals received from corresponding return antennas with the cyclic transmit signal to provide a corresponding set of baseband signals, extracting magnitude and phase information for each return signal as a function of range from the plurality of baseband signals, and determining a location of a target from the magnitude and phase information. A corresponding apparatus, system, and computer readable medium are also disclosed herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2014Publication date: July 23, 2015Applicant: SpotterRF LLCInventors: Logan Carl Harris, Benjamin Walter Dilsaver, Derek Gordon Nielson, Benjamin Farris Bush

Patent number: 8914782Abstract: Source code is generated that includes one or more iterator-based expressions such as declarative queries. The source code is translated into an intermediate language that classifies operators making up the iterator-based expressions into classes based on whether the operators are aggregating, element-wise, or sink operators. The intermediate language, including the identified classes, is processed using an automaton to replace the iterator-based expressions with one or more equivalent non-iterator-based expressions. Where an iterator-based expression is nested, the nested expression is processed using an equivalent number of nested automatons. The resulting optimized source code may be compiled and executed using fewer virtual function calls than the equivalent non-optimized source code.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2010Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael Isard, Yuan Yu, Derek Gordon Murray

Patent number: 8132344Abstract: The invention generally relates to a selectable boot articulation and support system. One embodiment of the present invention relates to a boot system including an intercoupled upper and lower shell configured to encase a user's foot and lower leg. The boot system further includes an articulation system effecting the articulation between the upper and lower shell. The articulation system includes an instep member coupled and positioned with respect to the upper shell in a manner that facilitates selection between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. The unlocked configuration provides increased articulation and decreased stiffness between the upper and lower shell with respect to the locked configuration. The instep member may include a releasable dorsal coupling between portions of the upper shell. The instep member may also include one or more moveable lateral couplings with the upper shell.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2009Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd.Inventors: Brendan Perkins, Christopher Best, David Narajowski, Derek Gordon Gustafson, Jacob Hall, Thomas Laakso, Loren Mills, Evan Anton Bouchier

Patent number: 6895881Abstract: A shape conforming surface covering useful for covering any type of surfaces, and comprising planks (1, 2) or sheet of a plastic or flexible material adapted to be interconnected aside of each other thereby forming an assembled surface covering of optional length and width, and which planks (1, 2) or sheet are of a material that can be brought to curved formations, and which at the upper surface of the covering is roughened, for instance sanded or filed so as to imitate any unique grain effect of wooden material. Preferably the planks (1, 2) or sheet are formed with connection means (4, 5) at the longitudinal edges thereof. The surface covering may be an assembled unit comprising planks (1, 2) and caulking elements (3) between each pair of planks.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2000Date of Patent: May 24, 2005Inventor: Derek Gordon Whitaker

Patent number: 4112979Abstract: An end cap for closing an open end of a pipe. The end cap is formed with a sleeve of plastics material closed at a first end by a wall and having tongues formed integrally with the sleeve on the opposite or second end. These tongues fit in openings in a plastics clamping ring at the second end of the sleeve and engage with a side of the ring to prevent removal of the clamping ring. The clamping ring holds a sealing ring of rubber material around the inside of the sleeve for sealing engagement with the pipe fitted into the sleeve through the second end of the latter.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1976Date of Patent: September 12, 1978Assignee: Naylor Brothers (Clayware) LimitedInventor: Derek Gordon Widdicombe
