Publication number: 20240196506Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating light includes a chamber having a high voltage region, a low voltage region, and a plasma generation region that defines a plasma confinement region. A magnetic core is positioned around the chamber and is configured to generate a plasma in the plasma confinement region. A switched power supply includes a DC power supply and a switched resonant charging circuit that together generate a plurality of voltage pulses at the output causing a plurality of current pulses to be applied to the power delivery section around the magnetic core so that at least one plasma loop is established around the magnetic core that confines plasma in the plasma confinement region, thereby forming a magnetically confined Z-pinch plasma. Light generated by the Z-pinch plasma propagates out of a port in the light source.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2022Publication date: June 13, 2024Applicants: Hamamatsu Photonics K.K., Energetiq Technology, Inc.Inventors: Frederick Marvin Niell, III, Donald K. Smith, Matthew M. Besen, Stephen F. Horne, David B. Reisman, Daniel J. Arcaro, Michael J. Roderick

Publication number: 20240132025Abstract: Revving an engine may be helpful in various contexts, such as when servicing the vehicle. For example, in some types of services, a cleaning agent may be introduced into the intake and surrounding regions of an engine, and the engine may be revved to reduce a likelihood that the cleaning agent might puddle. In some instances, a device can be positioned within a vehicle interior and can be used to automatically rev the vehicle engine by depressing on the vehicle throttle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Michael Jason ERWIN, Bradley Robert YOUNG, Stephen Marvin Pederson, Zachary Adam DOLD

Patent number: 11912491Abstract: This application describes a sprayer assembly that can attach to a variety of different types of pre-filled, fluid containers (e.g., non-pressurized fluid containers) for holding the fluid to be sprayed. For example, the sprayer assembly can include a sprayer-head assembly for attaching to a container of fluid, a canister for holding the container of fluid, or any combination thereof In addition, the sprayer assembly can be connected to a variety of different types of pressurized air sources. The sprayer-head assembly can include a nozzle assembly (e.g., fluid uptake tube, valve, and nozzle head), as well as a trigger for actuating the nozzle assembly.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: BG Intellectuals, Inc.Inventors: Michael Jason Erwin, Bradley Robert Young, Stephen Marvin Pederson, Zachary Adam Dold
