Patent number: 9459173Abstract: A method for calibrating a force platform includes, providing a force platform and applying an n×m grid on a top surface of the force platform via a computing device. Next, applying p known loads on each of the n×m grid points of the top surface along a Z-axis being perpendicular to the X and Y axes and along the X and Y axes. Next, taking multipoint measurements at each grid point and for each applied known load along the X, Y and Z axes and generating six measured output signals, exact position coordinates and applied known load magnitude for each grid point. Next, assembling an array of n×m×p of six equations with six unknown for each grid point and applied known load and then solving the assembled equations and deriving a position and load specific calibration matrix for each grid point.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2012Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: Advanced Mechanical Technology, Inc.Inventors: Bruce F. White, Fred Ruland, Forest J. Carignan, Albert Drueding, Gary Glass, Jonathan Taylor

Publication number: 20110209983Abstract: High energy heavy ions are used to produce free space regions by sputtering the high energy beam through a mask onto a substrate. The invention also includes a method of focusing the high energy beam with a beam focusing system. The invention is in part based on an experiment in which 900 keV gold ions were used to sputter aluminum, copper, silicon and silver. The results demonstrate the possibility that high energy heavy ions could be used to fabricate microstructures in selected metals and silicon in a single step process.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2009Publication date: September 1, 2011Inventors: Gary A. Glass, Alexander D. Dymnikov, Bibhudutta Rout

Publication number: 20060232143Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for an improved motor stator. One embodiment for a stator includes a stator section having a first surface and a second surface each surface having a groove extending into the stator section and a slot extending longitudinally between the first and second surfaces. Insulated conductive wires are wound longitudinally around the stator section in the slots to form winding turns contained completely within each groove. A lead frame extends circumferentially along a surface of the stator and the insulated conductive wires couple to the lead frame. A thermoset material is supplied to the stator section to encapsulate the stator section including the lead frame and the insulated conductive wires, and to provide integral coolant flow passages.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2005Publication date: October 19, 2006Inventors: Stephen Purvines, Gary Glass

Publication number: 20050171305Abstract: A solid metallocene-containing catalyst system of an organoaluminoxane, at least one metallocene having at least one olefinically unsaturated substituent and a polyolefin is disclosed. The polyolefin is formed from at least one olefin polymerized in the presence of a combination of a solution of the organoluminoxane in an aromatic liquid, the at least one metallocene, and an aliphatic liquid. The solid metallocene-containing catalyst system may also include one or more the particulate solids.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2005Publication date: August 4, 2005Inventors: Kent Mitchell, Gary Glass, L.

Patent number: 6709404Abstract: A pharyngometer or similar wavetube-based apparatus which includes a wavetube which is detachable from the electronic platform. As the wavetube includes no electronic components, the wavetube can be sterilized thermally or chemically between patients without damaging the electronics of the electronic platform. The wavetube is attached to the electronic platform by a tab in the electronic platform which fits into a lateral groove within the wavetube. Similarly, a threaded member in the electronic platform engages a threaded aperture in the wavetube.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2000Date of Patent: March 23, 2004Assignee: E Benson Hood LaboratoriesInventors: Dennis Creedon, Philip Drinker, Gary Glass, Lewis H. Marten, Anthony Sacchetti

Patent number: 5746699Abstract: Single hand supportable and operable apparatus for providing an output signal characteristic of the morphology of a respiratory tract includes an acoustic pipe for exchanging acoustical energy with the tract. The pipe has an open first end in communication with an opening in the respiratory tract. A transducer, such as a loudspeaker, is coupled to the pipe for launching acoustical energy into the pipe, producing an incident wave towards the opening in the tract and a reflected wave to form a transient wave field in the pipe representative of the morphology of the tract. Preferably, first and second pressure wave sensing transducers, such as microphones, mounted along the length of the pipe in spaced relationship provide first and second transduced signals representative of the transient wave field.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 1996Date of Patent: May 5, 1998Assignees: Hood Laboratories, Biomechanics, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Fredberg, Gary Glass, John Lehr, Bruno Louis
