Patent number: 11969860Abstract: An embodiment of a PCD insert comprises an embodiment of a PCD element joined to a cemented carbide substrate at an interface. The PCD element has internal diamond surfaces defining interstices between them. The PCD element comprises a masked or passivated region and an unmasked or unpassivated region, the unmasked or unpassivated region defining a boundary with the substrate, the boundary being the interface. At least some of the internal diamond surfaces of the masked or passivated region contact a mask or passivation medium, and some or all of the interstices of the masked or passivated region and of the unmasked or unpassivated region are at least partially filled with an infiltrant material.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignees: Element Six Limited, Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: John Hewitt Liversage, Danny Eugene Scott, Humphrey Samkelo Lungisani Sithebe, Kaveshini Naidoo, Bronwyn Annette Kaiser, Michael Lester Fish

Publication number: 20230017149Abstract: A radiation therapy system comprises a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system combined with an irradiation system, which can include one or more linear accelerators (linacs) that can emit respective radiation beams suitable for radiation therapy. The MRI system includes a split magnet system, comprising first and second main magnets separated by gap. A gantry is positioned in the gap between the main MRI magnets and supports the linac(s) of the irradiation system. The gantry is rotatable independently of the MRI system and can angularly reposition the linac(s). Shielding can also be provided in the form of magnetic and/or RF shielding. Magnetic shielding can be provided for shielding the linac(s) from the magnetic field generated by the MM magnets. RF shielding can be provided for shielding the MRI system from RF radiation from the linac.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: ViewRay Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Shmaryu M. Shvartsman, Gordon D. DeMeester, James F. Dempsey, John Lester Patrick

Publication number: 20210300639Abstract: A closure for a beverage container that includes a base portion configured to couple to the beverage container, a top portion rotatably engaged with the base portion, the top portion comprising a drinking opening, and a central portion removably coupled to the base portion and to the top portion, wherein the central portion comprises a plug. The central portion moves in a first direction along a central axis when the top portion is rotated about the central axis from a first configuration to a second configuration. The central portion moves in a second direction along the central axis when the top portion is rotated about the central axis from the second configuration to the first configuration. The central portion seals the drinking opening when the top portion is in the first configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2020Publication date: September 30, 2021Inventors: Jeffrey Ricardo ANEIROS, Xavier CORTADELLAS, Christopher Michael HINTERMEISTER, Sean Joseph HULS, John Lester OSTBY, David Robert SCHLESINGER, Jordan John STERANKA

Patent number: 10825209Abstract: Systems and methods for tomographic reconstruction of an image include systems and methods for producing images from k-space data. A k-space data set of an imaged object is acquired using know k-space data acquisition systems and methods. A portion of the k-space data set is sampled so as to collect some portion of the k-space data. An image is then reconstructed from the collected portion of the k-space data set according to a convex optimization model.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: VIEWRAY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: James F.
