Patent number: 11992874Abstract: A method to manufacture a ceramic foam filter includes: sintering a filter body to a temperature greater than a molten metal to be filtered through the body; creating multiple tortuous path channels extending through the filter body individually having a repeated and controlled passage geometry creating a continuously changing diameter and area of a flow path through the multiple tortuous path channels causing localized increases and decreases in molten metal flow rate through the multiple tortuous path channels; and applying a mixture of at least one ceramic powder and at least one binder using additive manufacturing to shape the filter body including the multiple tortuous path channels.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Qigui Wang, Andrew Thomas Cunningham, Zach Steffes, Jeffrey B. Harris, Brennon L. White, Liang Wang

Patent number: 11918302Abstract: An interactive control unit is disclosed. The interactive control unit includes an interactive touchscreen display, an interface configured to couple the control unit to a surgical hub, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to receive input commands from the interactive touchscreen display located inside a sterile field and transmit the input commands to the surgical hub to control devices coupled to the surgical hub located outside the sterile field.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Cilag GmbH InternationalInventors: Jeffrey D. Messerly, Peter K. Shires, Monica L. Z. Rivard, Cory G. Kimball, David C. Yates, Jeffrey L. Aldridge, Daniel W. Price, William B. Weisenburgh, II, Jason L. Harris, Frederick E. Shelton, IV, Jerome R. Morgan

Publication number: 20240042496Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for cleaning surfaces of a workpiece. The system includes a housing defining an enclosure, a holding structure within the enclosure that is configured to support a workpiece, a first powder removal device that is configured to propel a first media toward the holding structure such that the first media contacts the workpiece while the workpiece is supported by the holding structure, a first sensing device that is configured to detect surface characteristics of the workpiece while the workpiece is supported by the holding structure, and a controller configured to, by a processor: detect a powder material on a surface of the workpiece based on the surface characteristics, and selectively operate the first powder removal device to remove the powder material from the surface with the first media while the workpiece is supported by the holding structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2022Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Stanley Tong, Jeffrey B Harris, Brennon L White, Adam John Campbell, Andrew Thomas Cunningham, Ali Shabbir

Patent number: 11724588Abstract: Products and methods are provided for additive manufacturing of products in a collapsed state for post printing expansion in preparation for use in their intended application. A product includes interconnecting members configured for forming by printing in a collapsed state, with joints between the interconnecting members configured for relative movement of the interconnected members from the collapsed state to an expanded state. The interconnecting members define a larger package size in the expanded state than in the collapsed state. The joints are freely moveable in the collapsed state and are locked in place in the expanded state.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Paul J. Wolcott, Andrew Thomas Cunningham, Zachary P. Steffes, Jeffrey B. Harris
