Patent number: 11689089Abstract: Wireless power transmission (WPT) systems are provided. For example, the WPT system can use one or more power transmitting coils and a receiver for electromagnetically coupled wireless power transfer. The electrodynamic receiver can be in the form of an electrodynamic transducer where a magnet is allowed to oscillate near a receiving coil to induce a voltage in the receiving coil, a piezoelectric transducer where the magnet causes a vibrating structure with a piezoelectric layer to move, an electrostatic transducer where movement of the magnet causes a capacitor plate to move, or a combination thereof. An alternating magnetic field from the transmitting coil(s) excites the magnet in the receiver into mechanical resonance. The vibrating magnet then functions similar to an energy harvester to induce voltage/current on an internal coil, piezoelectric material, or variable capacitor.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2022Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: David Patrick Arnold, Shuo Cheng, Vinod Reddy Challa

Patent number: 11368049Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for electrodynamic wireless power receivers. In some examples, a wireless power receiver electromechanically converts energy from a magnetic field. The wireless power receiver includes a planar suspension structure and at least one magnet. The planar suspension structure is tuned to cause oscillation of the at least one magnet at a resonance frequency based on a frequency of the time-varying magnetic field to generate electrical energy in the wireless power receiver.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC.Inventors: David Patrick Arnold, Alexandra Garraud, Nicolas Garraud

Publication number: 20220124251Abstract: A blind spot monitoring device includes a housing, a chipset, a power source, a plurality of focused-beam illuminating units, a camera unit, and at least one sensor. The chipset is internally mounted within the housing, and the power source is integrated onto the housing. The plurality of focused-beam illuminating units is mounted onto the housing and functions a spotlight for the camera unit that is mounted onto the housing. The sensor is mounted onto the housing and continuously monitor the surveillances area. The chipset, the plurality of focused-beam illuminating units, the camera unit, and the sensor are electrically connected to the power source so that the blind spot monitoring device can be powered from the power source. The plurality of focused-beam illuminating units, the camera unit, and the sensor are electronically connected to the chipset so that the blind spot monitoring device can be programed and operated.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2021Publication date: April 21, 2022Inventor: Patrick Arnold

Publication number: 20210161850Abstract: The present invention demonstrates the therapeutic use of ketone esters for seizure disorders, Alzheimer's disease and malignant brain cancer, which are associated with metabolic dysregulation. The administration of ketone esters resulted therapeutic ketosis and neuroprotection against seizures resulting from CNS oxygen toxicity. Supplemental ketones were also found to reduce superoxide production in cultured cortex neurons exposed to hyperbaric oxygen and A?-42, and to decrease proliferation and viability in U87 glioma cells. These observations support the therapeutic effect of ketones for seizure disorders, Alzheimer's disease and malignant brain cancer. The ketone esters may be derived from acetoacetate and can include R,S-1,3-butanediol acetoacetate monoester, R,S-1,3-butanediol acetoacetate diester, or a combination of the two.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2020Publication date: June 3, 2021Inventors: Dominic Paul D'Agostino, Jay B.

Patent number: 10792259Abstract: ?-hydroxy butyric acid in combination with ?-hydroxybutyrate salts are useful to induce ketosis, achieving blood ketone levels of (0.5-6.0 mmol/L), with or without dietary restriction, and without inducing harmfully high mineral loads in the blood. The combination of ?-hydroxy butyric acid and salt results in substantial improvements in metabolic bookmakers related to insulin resistance, diabetes, weight loss, and physical performance & endurance in a short period of time. Further, use of these supplements to achieve ketosis yields a significant elevation of blood ketones and reduction of blood glucose levels. These acid/salt mixtures are also useful for suppressing appetite, preventing epileptic seizures, and treating cancer.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2020Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Savlnd, Inc.Inventor: Patrick Arnold

Publication number: 20200268701Abstract: Beta-hydroxybutyrate mineral salts in combination with medium chain fatty acids or an ester thereof such as medium chain triglycerides were used to induce ketosis, achieving blood ketone levels of (2-7 mmol/L), with or without dietary restriction. The combination results in substantial improvements in metabolic biomarkers related to insulin resistance, diabetes, weight loss, and physical performance in a short period of time. Further, use of these supplements to achieve ketosis yields a significant elevation of blood ketones and reduction of blood glucose levels. Use of these substances does not adversely affect lipid profiles. By initiating rapid ketosis and accelerating the rate of ketoadaptation, this invention is useful for the avoidance of glucose withdrawal symptoms commonly experienced by individuals initiating a ketogenic diet, and minimizes the loss of lean body mass during dietary restriction.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2020Publication date: August 27, 2020Inventors: Dominic Paul D'Agostino, Patrick Arnold, Shannon Kesl
