Publication number: 20240069290Abstract: An optical connector includes a connector sub-assembly, an inner housing that receives a rear portion of the connector sub-assembly, a boot extending from the inner housing, and an outer housing coupled to the boot. The outer housing and the boot are configured to allow relative rotation about a longitudinal axis of the optical connector but can move together along the longitudinal axis. The boot can be rotated relative to the inner housing between a locked position in which the outer housing is prevented from moving axially and depressing the end portion of a latch arm of the connector sub-assembly, and an unlocked position in which the outer housing can move axially to depress the end portion of the latch arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Larry Todd McKinney, Louis Edward Parkman, III

Publication number: 20230157520Abstract: A medical valve may comprise a valve stem and an operation portion. The operation portion may include a stationary portion, a movable portion which is movable relative to the stationary portion and fixed relative to the valve stem, a seal disposed between the stationary portion and the movable portion, and a biasing member. Movement of the movable portion in a first direction may cause deformation of the biasing member, such that a restorative force of the biasing member urges movement of the movable portion in a second direction opposite the first direction. A frictional force between the seal and one of the stationary portion and the movable portion resists the movement of the movable portion in the second direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2023Publication date: May 25, 2023Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Allyn Narcisse JENSRUD, Larry Edward STANTON, Colby HARRIS

Publication number: 20220095906Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to fluid container enclosure systems that couple with a fluid container and enable different systems, such as endoscopic systems, to access the contents of the fluid container, such as via a tubing set. The enclosure systems are configured to fit a wide range of fluid container necks, ports, or other openings, including various opening dimensions, thread finishes, and/or thread dimensions. In one embodiments, an enclosure system may include a cap having multiple carriages arranged therein. For example, a primary carriage may be arranged within the cap to engage with larger-dimensioned bottles. A secondary carriage may be arranged to float within the primary carriage to engage smaller-dimensioned bottles that bypass the primary carriage. Other embodiments are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Inventors: Larry Edward Stanton, Matthew LaPlaca, Ryan Vincent William Pollock

Publication number: 20210126723Abstract: A signal level meter for use in installing an antenna that includes a wireless interface for communications with a portable electronic device hosting applications software to provide a remote user interface. The signal level meter is typically installed between the antenna and TV/STB. A tuner-demodulator demodulates the antenna signal, allows adjustable gain, and generates a signal level output. A wireless interface provides two-way communication (e.g., Bluetooth) between the signal level meter and the portable electronic device (e.g., smart phone) running applications software (or “app”). The app enables the user to remotely view information from the signal level meter regarding signal strength and signal source identification via a graphical user interface. This user interface also enables the user to remotely control operation of the signal level meter, including signal source selection (e.g., channel selection), amplifier gain and filter selection.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2020Publication date: April 29, 2021Applicant: Winegard CompanyInventors: Larry Edward Foster, Kevin Murphy, Stacie Venghaus

Patent number: 10217580Abstract: A restraint system is used to restrain a movable switch blade of a disconnect switch in order to prevent accidental closure of the switch blade. In this regard, the restraint system has a sheath that is positioned over an end of the switch blade, and the sheath is tethered to a support structure so that tension in the tether resists movement of the switch blade toward a conductive jaw. Thus, current is prevented from flowing through the disconnect switch until the sheath is manually removed from the switch blade.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2015Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: TCI Sales, Inc.Inventors: Larry Edward Blain, Frank Joseph Kelly

Patent number: 10085544Abstract: A clip attaches an item, including a weight bearing item, to a strap worn by a person. The clip includes a body and a closure mechanism. The body has bottom and top portions connected by a hinge movable between a closed position, to capture the strap between, and an open position. At least one of the top and bottom surfaces has strap-engaging, non-slip structure to securely engage the strap captured therebetween. The closure mechanism includes closure structure at closure ends of the top and bottom portions and a stabilizer preventing relative movement of the closure ends generally parallel to the hinge axis when the clip is in the closed position. The clip can include a fastener supported by the body, the fastener being configured for attachment of the item to the clip.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2016Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Inventor: Larry Edward Schessel
