Patent number: 11977065Abstract: An electronic display device includes a housing for an electronic display to form an assembly. A thermal management subsystem forms part of the assembly and utilizes ingested ambient air from immediately outside said assembly to thermal manage the assembly. Data is received from one or more sensors pertaining to at least one characteristic of the ingested ambient air at times during operation of the assembly. Operating parameters of the assembly are automatically adjusted when the data indicates a difference in the measured at least one characteristic at the times, and when said difference exceeds a threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2023Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Manufacturing Resources International, Inc.Inventors: William Dunn, John Schuch

Patent number: 11940221Abstract: A multi-stacked heat exchanger comprises a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger. A first end of the first heat exchanger receives a first fluid in a first conduit flowing in a first direction within a plane. A first end of the second heat exchanger receives the first fluid from the first heat exchanger in a second direction flowing opposite to the first direction within the plane. A flow of a second fluid is communicated through the second heat exchanger and then through the first heat exchanger, in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The second fluid is in thermal communication with the first fluid in the second heat exchanger and then in the first heat exchanger. By doubling the flowed first fluid back upon itself, embodiments achieve counterflow between the first fluid and second fluid within a compact space.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: DANDELION ENERGY, INC.Inventor: John Dunn

Patent number: 11911174Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods of the present application relate to the diagnostic measurement of condition for pressure ulcers. Preferred embodiments utilize pressure measurements at body locations to determine a diagnostic pressure ulcer value. A pressure sensor device generates patient pressure data that is processed by a data processor which utilizes a diagnostic function to determine the diagnostic value that indicates whether corrective action is needed to prevent pressure ulcer formation. One or more sensor devices can be attached to a patient to measure to transmit data for further processing.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2018Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignees: University of Massachusetts, Worcester Polytechnic InstituteInventors: Raymond Dunn, John McNeill, Yitzhak Mendelson

Publication number: 20240003599Abstract: A blower and heat exchanger component of a heat pump includes a physically moveable service panel. The service panel can slide out on a first side or on a second side opposite to the first side, where an existing air duct connects to a third side that is orthogonal to the first and second sides. This sliding service panel configuration allows a same blower/heat exchanger component to adapt the duct being located on either side of the unit (e.g., by installing the component rotated by 180° within the installation space as appropriate). The service panel can slide out on both sides of the component, thereby affording access for service, irrespective of orientation of the component as installed relative to the duct.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2022Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: John Dunn, Kathleen Hannun, Dung Duc Nguyen

Publication number: 20240003600Abstract: A blower and heat exchanger component of a heat pump, includes physically moveable interface blocks located at the corners. The blocks are relocatable to different corner locations on the unit, to allow a same blower/heat exchanger component to adapt to an existing duct being located on either side (e.g., by installing the component rotated within the installation space as appropriate). Active interface block(s) moveable to different corners afford access to power connection and/or data connections and status display features. Blank blocks occupy the corner locations left vacant by relocation of active blocks to the side of the unit serving as the front for a particular installation. The moveable corner blocks afford access to the unit for power and data connection, and status display, irrespective of orientation as installed relative to an existing ducting layout of a building.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2022Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: John Dunn, Kathleen Hannun, Dung Duc Nguyen, Paul Ingemi

Publication number: 20230417434Abstract: An electrical interface selectively places a heat pump and a backup temperature control device in alternative electrical communication with a single power feed, thereby simplifying installation and reducing cost. In particular embodiments, a compressor of the heat pump may be in selective electrical communication with the power feed via a normally closed relay. Removal of a control voltage results in opening of the normal open relay, and closing of a normally closed relay to place the backup temperature control device in selective electrical communication with the power feed. For a ground source heat pump, a ground loop pump may also be in selective electrical communication with the power feed (e.g., via a normally closed relay).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Paul Ingemi, Dung Duc Nguyen, John Dunn
