Publication number: 20230321900Abstract: This invention is directed to a polymeric powder preferably a medical grade polymeric powder, for use in Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) for application fields including but not limited to medical, food, and pharmaceutical. The, preferably medical grade, polymer is biodegradable and can be used to manufacture objects such as medical implants and tissue scaffolds. The powder is biocompatible and biodegradable and can include a flow additive. The flow additive can consist of an osteoconductive flow aid suited for medical applications, a water-soluble salt flow aid that does dissolve during device degradation, or a combination of both. The water-soluble salt flow aid is used for applications where no leftover signs of implantation are observed within tissue after device degradation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2021Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: Evonik Operations GmbHInventors: Kevin Acreman, Mahrokh Dadsetan, William Hanson, Marshall Scott Jones

Publication number: 20210290814Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus of sterilizing or disinfecting a space or surface with UV light from a laser that produces UV or other light energy with germicidal effect, at least like UVGI. The light can be controlled in terms of power to be effective for germicidal effect on a given biological organism or agent. In cases where humans might be present and represent a risk of interaction with the laser, techniques are used to remove those risks. The laser can be directed to a single relatively small area, aimed to multiple areas, or scanned to cover larger areas. It allows either human operation at stand-off distances from the relevant spaces, volumes, areas, surfaces (e.g., at least inches and typically feet or tens of feet). It has an indefinite useful operation life.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventors: Robert Douglas Waterbury, Ed Dottery, Timothy Molner, Marshall Scott

Patent number: 10168212Abstract: A system capable of highly sensitive measurement of material concentration values in a sample using an optical spectroscopic method is disclosed. The system utilizes high-speed data acquisition and high resolution sampling of the raw signals output by the sensors with reduced total channel counts, and performs frequency analysis of the signals using the Fourier transform method to process all sensor channels in parallel. When each sensor is targeting the detection of some certain materials at some certain frequencies, the system is capable of simultaneous detection of multiple materials of interest in the sample with high measurement sensitivity and high speed.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2015Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: THORLABS, INC.Inventors: James Jiang, Marshall Scott, Eric Geoffrion, Alex Cable

Publication number: 20150025920Abstract: A method for improving boarding of passengers and baggage onto a flight, comprises, at a predetermined time before the scheduled departure of the flight, determining an eligible carry-on baggage items count of carry-on baggage items eligible for treatment as checked baggage items. The eligible carry-on baggage items count is based on predetermined criteria comprising at least one of an aircraft type for the flight, a passenger load factor for the flight and carrier historical data relevant to the flight. If the eligible carry-on items count is greater than zero, then an offer to a passenger on the flight to have the passenger's carry-on baggage item treated as a checked baggage item is communicated, and the passenger's communication in response to the offer is received. For each accepted offer, decrementing the eligible carry-on items count.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2014Publication date: January 22, 2015Applicant: ALASKA AIRLINES, INC.Inventors: Sandra Lynn Stelling, Brian Wendell Robey, Jerry Allen Tolzman, HerngChuan Michael Yu, Van Gia Bao, Benjamin Michael Casad, Marshall Scott Allen, Zachary Allen Anderson, Brandon Murray Cooper
