Patent number: 11988325Abstract: An expandable device includes a base having a top side and a bottom side, an expanding mechanism operably coupled to the base, and a button. The bottom side of the base is adapted to engage a portion of a portable electronic device. The button has a top side and a bottom side and is operably coupled to the expanding mechanism. The expanding mechanism is selectively movable between a first configuration whereby the button is disposed in a first, collapsed configuration and a second configuration whereby the button is disposed in a second, expanded configuration. Upon urging the button to the first configuration, the expandable device retains the button in the first configuration, and upon further urging the button towards the base, the button is released from the first configuration and moves to the second configuration.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2019Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: POPSOCKETS LLCInventors: Robert Lane, Sara Cinnamon

Patent number: 11959445Abstract: In a fuel injector, the temperature differential between a distributor plate, through which relatively cool fuel passes, and the manifold to which the distributor plate is bonded causes stresses and strains that can reduce the durability and longevity of the fuel injector. In disclosed embodiments, the distributor plate is bonded to an outer arm and inner arm. These arms act as levers to take up the stresses and strains caused by the temperature differential, thereby increasing the durability and longevity of the fuel injector.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Solar Turbines IncorporatedInventors: Michael A. Lane, Ricardo Aleman, Robert Fanella

Publication number: 20220176032Abstract: A dressing for treating a tissue site with negative pressure including a tissue interface, a cover, a chamber wall, and a base. The cover may be adapted to be sealed to epidermis proximate the tissue site. The chamber wall may define a pump chamber, wherein the pump chamber may be adapted to be fluidly coupled to the tissue interface. The base may extend from the chamber wall, wherein the base may be fluidly sealed to the cover. The dressing may include an intake valve and an exhaust valve fluidly coupled to the pump chamber. The pump chamber may be compressed to evacuate fluid from the pump chamber through the exhaust valve. The pump chamber may then be expanded to draw? fluid through the intake valve from the tissue interface. This supplies a negative pressure to the tissue interface which may be adapted to distribute negative pressure across the tissue site.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2020Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Larry Tab RANDOLPH, Sara CINNAMON, Stefan FOULSTONE, Charles HARTZELL, Stephanie HENZE, Robert LANE, Colton SANFORD

Publication number: 20220163021Abstract: An apparatus for treating a tissue site with negative pressure having a pump and a pump actuator. The pump may include a chamber wall that may define a pump chamber. The pump actuator may include a mechanism to actuate the pump. The pump actuator may be releasably coupled to the pump. In some examples, the chamber wall may include a drive surface and the pump actuator may include a cylindrical cam having a working surface configured to engage with the drive surface of the pump. In some examples, the pump actuator may have an actuator arm configured to couple to the pump to actuate the pump. Actuation of the pump may create a negative pressure in the pump chamber that may be delivered to a tissue site.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2020Publication date: May 26, 2022Inventors: Larry Tab RANDOLPH, Sara CINNAMON, Robert LANE
