James Renaud has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11701532
    Abstract: A fireproof assembly for an aircraft engine, comprises a fireproof housing having an internal volume and an opening. A fireproof internal shield is located within the fireproof housing. The internal shield divides the volume into a first sub-volume and a second sub-volume, the first sub-volume configured for receiving a component of the aircraft engine. A non-fireproof component seals the opening of the fireproof housing. Fireproof fasteners are used to support internal shield inside the housing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10777916
    Abstract: A gasket providing electrical conductivity between components is disclosed. The gasket comprises a body having a fastener hole extending therethrough and an electrically conductive insert lining at least part of the fastener hole in the body. The insert has a first contact face disposed for electrically contacting a first component and a second contact face disposed for electrically contacting a second component. The first contact face is in electrical communication with the second contact face.

  • Patent number: 10413754
    Abstract: Radiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for cancer and its success depends critically on accurate targeting and delivery of the correct radiation dose. Accurate dosimetry is therefore essential to maintain and improve patient survival rates. However, size and long wait times currently limit water and graphite based calorimeters to standards laboratories leaving field-based dosimetry to ionization chamber measurements which depend upon a reference field-specified calibration factor. It would therefore be beneficial to provide radiotherapy equipment operators a direct approach of clinical reference dosimetry wherein the dosimeter provides increased independence on dose, dose rate, radiation energy, and energy type, etc. It would be further beneficial for such novel clinical dosimeters to be compact, function as secondary standards used routinely for measurements and allow radiotherapy doses to be measured directly and in an absolute manner.
