Patent number: 11980265Abstract: A blister package for a contact lens is provided. A deformable slider supporting a lens is movable via pull-tab or hinge to lift the contact lens out of a lens well. The deformable slider can include a hinge connected to a flexible peel-away top of the blister package or connected to a pull tab that can be pulled to pull taut the deformable slider. A blister package is also provided that includes a hinged shell having a lateral opening opposite the hinge, and a deformable slider that is folded over onto itself and seals both a top chamber and a bottom chamber. By pulling a tongue of the deformable slider, which extends from the lateral opening, the deformable slider can be removed from the closed shell and the closed shell can be opened enabling access to the contact lens.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: COOPERVISION INTERNATIONAL LIMITEDInventors: Sarah Almond, Carlos Ortiz, Gary Hunt, Mike Nelson, Russell Beard, Hayley Maynard, Thomas Harkin, Pauline Gavelle

Patent number: 11913701Abstract: Solid production systems, devices, and methods utilizing oleophilic surfaces are provided in accordance with various embodiments. Some embodiments include a water tank used to store fresh water. Some embodiments include an emulsion tank that may include a set of auxiliary components that may be utilized to create and/or to pump an emulsion. This auxiliary equipment may include suction headers, ejectors, pumps, mechanical mixers, and/or hydrodynamic mixers, for example. Some embodiments include a heat exchanger that may produce a cold surface for ice formation. This surface may include an oleophilic surface that may produce an affinity for oils and/or other non-polar materials. Some embodiments include piping that may allow for the connection of the other components such that ice may be formed from a flow of water from the emulsion and the overflow may be returned to the emulsion tank.

Publication number: 20230288082Abstract: A steam dispersion apparatus includes a steam chamber communicating in an open-loop arrangement with a first steam source for supplying steam to the steam chamber. The steam chamber includes a steam dispersion location at which steam exits therefrom at generally atmospheric pressure. A heat exchanger communicates in a closed-loop arrangement with a second steam source for supplying steam to the heat exchanger at a pressure generally higher than atmospheric pressure. The heat exchanger is located at a location that is not directly exposed to the air to be humidified, the heat exchanger being in fluid communication with the steam chamber so as to contact condensate from the steam chamber. The heat exchanger converts condensate formed by the steam chamber back to steam when the condensate contacts the heat exchanger.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: James M. Lundgreen, Robert Russell Nelson

Publication number: 20170364381Abstract: Example implementations relate to data center configuration. For example, a server system is configured in a data center by a configuration system including an input processor that receives a data file having multiple record types including a range record type. An error checking processor verifies that the data file has correct syntax and that each of the multiple record types is a valid record type with required attributes. If no error is detected, a record processor converts each of the record types in the data file into a set of ReST API and an output processor sends the set of ReST API requests to a data center configuration manager.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2015Publication date: December 21, 2017Applicant: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Bobby Brad Suber, Russell Nelson Briggs

Publication number: 20160326336Abstract: A dispersion spun fluoropolymer fiber prepared from non-melt-processible polytetrafluoroethylene particles and aluminum oxide particles. The concentration of Al2O3 in the aqueous dispersion may range from between about 0.1% to about 5%, with specific concentration of 0.1%, 1.0. The aqueous dispersion is mixed with an aqueous matrix polymer solution containing a matrix polymer and then extruded into a coagulation bath containing a concentration of ions which coagulate the matrix polymer to form an intermediate fiber structure which carries ionic species. The intermediate fiber structure is sintered to decompose the matrix polymer and coalesce the polytetrafluoroethylene particles and the Al2O3 particles into a blended fiber. The resulting, blended fluoropolymer fiber exhibits improved properties relative to 100% dispersion spun polytetrafluoroethylene fibers.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2016Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventors: Chester Darryl Moon, Arthur Russell Nelson, Trevor Guldstrand, Matt Hutto
