Patent number: 11612863Abstract: A carbonation system for a beverage appliance or machine that can include a liquid chamber and a carbonation chamber separated from the liquid chamber by a wall of the carbonation chamber is disclosed herein. In some implementations, the liquid chamber is defined by a liquid tank (e.g., a water tank), and the carbonation chamber is defined by a carbonation tank. The carbonation system can move liquid (e.g., water) from the liquid chamber to the carbonation chamber and introduce carbonating gas (e.g., carbon dioxide) into the carbonation chamber to create a carbonated liquid (e.g., a carbon dioxide water dissolution, such as carbonated water, sparkling water, or seltzer).Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Bedford Systems LLCInventors: Paul Conroy, William Mendelson

Publication number: 20220313004Abstract: A method and apparatus for frothing a beverage, e.g., using a beverage preparing device and an ejector is described. Within a housing of the beverage preparing device, an air supply and steam supply may be arranged to deliver air and steam to an ejector outside of the housing. Beverage liquid may be frothed by providing steam and air, then steam alone to achieve frothing and heating. An ejector may supply a mixture of steam and air and a controller may be used to regulate the flow of steam and air through the ejector. The ejector may have a venturi that uses steam flow to create a low pressure region, which draws air into the ejector.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2020Publication date: October 6, 2022Applicant: Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.Inventors: Paul Conroy, Timothy James MacLean, Mario Liuzza

Publication number: 20220267751Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of producing recombinant plasminogen in a mammalian expression system. A method for producing plasminogen, the method comprising (i) providing a host cell comprising a first recombinant polynucleotide encoding plasminogen and a second recombinant polynucleotide encoding a plasminogen activation inhibitor; (ii) culturing said host cell in a suitable culture medium under conditions to effect expression of plasminogen from the first polynucleotide and plasminogen activation inhibitor from the second polynucleotide.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2020Publication date: August 25, 2022Applicant: Monash UniversityInventors: James Whisstock, Ruby Law, Adam Quek, Paul Conroy

Publication number: 20220119479Abstract: The present invention relates to soluble multi-domain binding molecules comprising T cell receptors (TCR) having specificity for an antigen, an immunoglobulin Fc domain or an albumin-binding moiety; and an immune effector domain. Such multi-domain binding molecules are advantageous because they display improved half-life while retaining function.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2020Publication date: April 21, 2022Inventors: Paul CONROY, Stephen HEARTY, Amandine GEORGES, Lok Hang MAK, Nikolai LISSIN, Andrew David JOHNSON, Emma HODGSON, Udofoyo UYE

Publication number: 20190017791Abstract: A jacketed structure includes at least one penetrator slug; a jacket surrounding the at least one penetrator slug; and a deformable sleeve surrounding a portion of the at least one penetrator slug and encased by the jacket. The deformable sleeve includes porous material, which absorbs plastic deflection of the jacket during an engraving process with a barrel of a weapon during firing. The at least one penetrator slug includes material having a hardness value greater than a hardness value of the jacket and the deformable sleeve. The deformable sleeve surrounds a rear portion of the at least one penetrator slug. The deformable sleeve surrounds approximately half of the at least one penetrator slug. The deformable sleeve is configured to deform symmetrically during firing of a weapon containing the jacketed structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2017Publication date: January 17, 2019Inventor: Paul Conroy

Publication number: 20130054656Abstract: An electronic handheld library is disclosed that fully replaces hard copy textbooks and references, audio-visual materials, and successor instructional materials, and receives, stores, and displays other digital data in electronic form. In a single fully integrated design the handheld library meets all six of the specific requirements for a successful launch, development, and operation, specifically focusing on the real requirement; providing excellent presentation quality; possessing inherent high resistance to accidental damage; possessing inherent high theft resistance; providing protection of the source, data, user, and handheld library itself from malicious or accidental events; and providing affordability equal to or better than the objects replaced. Compared to what it replaces, it provides significant advantages for institutional financial management and for students' health.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2011Publication date: February 28, 2013Inventor: Vincent Paul Conroy

Patent number: 8327748Abstract: A stout wall assembly which self-transports under remote control or onboard machine logic is disclosed. It combines three very well understood and proven technologies into a novel, new military system for creating protected positions behind very strong cover while a formation is in motion or stationary. The wall assembly is unmanned and is designed to sacrificially block any destructive effects directed at the protected object in its lee. It provides a non-pyrotechnical, passive, always-on, solid, physical barrier defense with no reaction or recycle time whatsoever, an unlimited duty cycle, and minimal possibility of fratricide or collateral damage. It can defeat or degrade kinetic energy, blast, fragmentation, fire, particulate, shaped charge, and high explosive squash head weapons and is uniquely capable against street-level improvised explosive devices.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2007Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Inventor: Vincent Paul Conroy

Publication number: 20120173045Abstract: A barrier which is mobile and self-propelled and is controlled by remote control or by self-generated commands created in accordance with pre-loaded or downloaded instructions is disclosed. It can be interposed between a stationary or moving protected object and a suspected threat and maintained in that alignment until updated guidance instructions are received or generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2007Publication date: July 5, 2012Inventor: Vincent Paul Conroy

Patent number: 7234897Abstract: An area earthquake defense system is disclosed which uses military planning principles; automated command and control systems; the technology of wave manipulation demonstrated in optical engineering, sonar, and anti-tank weapons and their countermeasures; and proven electromagnetic technology. Deeply buried, specially configured, passive devices attenuate, temporally segment, and redirect earthquake shock waves. Such a system, fully integrated into the local geological structure, can reduce the shock reaching the protected area, and, within that area, channel it away from those structures most difficult to protect with single point measures. This is especially true when the plurality of passive devices is complemented by an automated decision and command loop and dynamically reconfigurable active devices embedded at a variety of depths.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2005Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Inventor: Vincent Paul Conroy
