Publication number: 20240050787Abstract: A hydrogen fusible link may include a first link member having a thermally conductive material, and reaction region and a bonding region. A bonding material may be in a solid state at an operating temperature and may have a melting temperature that is greater than the operating temperature. A catalyst material may coat the reaction region and may facilitate an exothermic chemical reaction when exposed to gaseous hydrogen to produce heat, wherein heat produced by the catalyst material is conducted to the bonding region via the body to heat up the bonding material. When the catalyst material is exposed to a concentration of gaseous hydrogen that is at or above an activation concentration the reaction region produces sufficient heat to raise at least some of the bonding material above the melting temperature thereby failing at least some of the bonding material.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2021Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Yu-Shan CHIN, Anthony CLOUTHIER, Zhe LIANG, Lee GARDNER, Joshua MURPHY

Patent number: 10441322Abstract: Anterior spinal implant devices for reducing spinal malalignment and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. A spinal implant system configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a first vertebral support implanted at an anterior region of a first vertebra of a patient, a second vertebral support implanted at an anterior region of a second vertebra inferior to the first vertebra, and an alignment system configured to be releasably coupled to the first and second vertebral supports. The first and second vertebral supports can extend into and interlock with each other within an interbody space between the first and second vertebrae when the first and second vertebral supports are aligned. The alignment system is configured to reduce angular, vertical, and linear malalignment of the first and second vertebrae relative to each other.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2018Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: MUSC FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH DEVELOPMENTInventors: Barton L. Sachs, Trevor James Langley, Fabiano Pace, Alexandra Kathryn Wells, Carolyn Chlebek, Christine Marie Perrone, Cara Elizabeth Yocum, Joshua Murphy Peterson

Patent number: 9951785Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are provided for facilitating air-cooling of, for instance, one or more electronics racks within a data center. The apparatus includes an air-moving assembly and one or more flywheels. The air-moving assembly includes a shaft, one or more mechanical fans coupled to the shaft to rotate, at least in part, with the shaft, and a motor coupled to the shaft to rotatably drive the shaft. The flywheel(s) is sized and coupled to the shaft of the air-moving assembly to store rotational energy, and to facilitate, for a specified period of time, continued rotation of the shaft during interruption in power to the motor. In one implementation, the flywheel(s) is sized and coupled to the shaft to facilitate, for the specified time period, continued rotation of the shaft at a specified percentage, or greater, rotational speed of the shaft compared with shaft speed when rotatably driven by the motor.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2016Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Milnes P. David, Michael J. Domitrovits, Joshua Murphy, John V. Palmer, Sal M. Rosato
