Patent number: 11986268Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods utilizing an infrared probe and discriminating software to rapidly discriminate abnormal tissue processes from normal tissue during surgery, physical examination of in-situ lesions, and in the assessment of biopsy and resected tissue specimens. Examples demonstrate discrimination of cancerous from noncancerous tissues. The discriminating software, i.e. the metrics, algorithms, calibrant spectra, and decision equations, allows tissue to be identified as abnormal or normal using a minimum of infrared (IR) wavelengths in order to be measured rapidly. The probe records IR metrics approximately 1000 times faster than current commercial instruments, i.e. on a timescale fast enough for clinical use. The probe uses a tunable mid-infrared laser with a small set of selected wavelengths that are optimized for detecting the chemical and molecular signatures of tissue specific lesions to include, but not limited to, cancer, preneoplasia, intracellular accumulations (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2023Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: OHIO STATE INNOVATION FOUNDATIONInventors: James Coe, Heather Allen, Charles Hitchcock, Edward W.

Publication number: 20230357101Abstract: A method is described for shutting down a Fischer-Tropsch reactor fed with a reactant gas mixture comprising a synthesis gas and a recycle gas recovered from the Fischer-Tropsch reactor in a synthesis loop, said Fischer-Tropsch reactor containing a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst cooled indirectly by a coolant under pressure, comprising the steps of: (a) depressurising the coolant to cool the reactant gas mixture to quench Fischer-Tropsch reactions taking place in the Fischer-Tropsch reactor, (b) stopping the synthesis gas feed to the Fischer-Tropsch reactor, and (c) maintaining circulation of the recycle gas through the Fischer-Tropsch reactor during steps (a) and (b) to remove heat from the Fischer-Tropsch reactor. The method safely facilitates a more rapid return to operating conditions than a full shut-down.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2021Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Robert Miles BAKER, Jay Simon CLARKSON, Andrew James COE, Robert William GALLEN, Richard Philip David PEARSON, Colin TAMSETT

Publication number: 20230295517Abstract: A process for synthesising hydrocarbons is described comprising the steps of (a) making a synthesis gas comprising hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide from a feedstock in a synthesis gas generation unit, (b) removing carbon dioxide to produce a carbon dioxide stream and purified synthesis gas comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide for synthesis gas in a Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbon synthesis unit wherein (i) at least a portion of the FT water stream is fed to an electrolysis unit to provide an oxygen stream, which is fed to the synthesis gas generation unit. Carbon dioxide stream recovered from the carbon dioxide removal unit and a portion of the hydrogen stream produced by the electrolysis unit are fed to a reverse water-gas shift unit to produce a carbon monoxide stream, with carbon monoxide stream from the reverse water-gas shift unit fed to the Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbon synthesis unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2021Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Henry Arthur CLAXTON, Andrew James COE, Mark Joseph MCKENNA, Paul Robert TICEHURST

Patent number: 11540722Abstract: An etalon-based mid-infrared probe can be configured for spectroscopic tissue discrimination, such as between non-normal (e.g., cancerous) and normal (e.g., healthy) tissue. A broadband light source can be applied to the etalon to generate fringes at spectroscopic wavelengths of interest, which can be delivered to a tissue specimen via a fiber loop probe. A response signal can be spectral dispersed across a parallel array of detector pixels, such as using a diffraction grating, and signal processed for performing the tissue classification. A learning model can be trained, using full IR spectral data, for applying a reduced set of wavelengths for performing the spectroscopic tissue analysis and classification.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2022Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Ohio State Innovation FoundationInventor: James Coe

Patent number: 9935478Abstract: A power delivery rate from a renewable power source to a load is managed by determining, by processing circuitry, a change in a power generation rate, determining, by the processing circuitry, whether the change in the power generation rate exceeds a limit, and then, adjusting, by control circuitry, a power transfer rate to or from a power storage device, such that the adjusting is sufficient to prevent the power delivery rate from exceeding the limit.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2015Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: YOUNICOS, INC.Inventors: Carlos James Coe, Aeron Neils Hurst, Mark Isaac Hardin, Matthew Clayton Such, Richard Thomas Jennings

Patent number: 9353571Abstract: A paint can support box adapted to surround and selectively seal a paint can. A hinged top with a seal is affixed to the box and is movable between an open and a closed position. A mounting system attaches the box to rungs of a ladder. A retaining pin prevents the mounting system from inadvertently becoming detached from the ladder rungs. The box is swivelably attached to the mounting system so that the box remains level regardless of the lean angle of the ladder. The box and its contents may be left on the ladder when the ladder is moved to a new location without risk of paint spilling or the apparatus becoming detached from the ladder. Caulk tubes may also be stored and retained within the box. Multiple size paint cans (e.g. gallon, quart, etc.) may be securely accommodated and sealed with appropriate can adapters.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2014Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Inventor: James Coe

Publication number: 20140200170Abstract: A general purpose detail cleaning solution contains a blend of chemicals in one solution to remove water spots, swirls, dust and fingerprints in existing waxes, polishes and sealants, and revitalize paint. The solution will preferably be available in both squeeze bottles and spray bottles. The user sprays one section of the vehicle at a time, and gently spreads the solution over the entire surface of the vehicle section using a folded microfiber towel. The user then flips over the microfiber towel to reveal a dry section of the towel, and buffs the vehicle section until it is dry. This process is repeated until the entire vehicle has been detail cleaned.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2014Publication date: July 17, 2014Inventors: James Coe, JR., James Hampton Coe, III
