Publication number: 20200346869Abstract: Superhydrophobic conveyor belt components and methods for molding those components out of thermoplastic polymers. The plastic components have superhydrophobic regions on outer surfaces that shed aqueous solutions and remain dry. The water-shedding regions are textured with a nano- or micro-structure that is rough enough to endow the region with superhydrophobic properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2018Publication date: November 5, 2020Inventors: Kejia Jin, Noshir Sheriar Pesika, Shuchi P. Khurana, Jeremiah E. Oertling

Patent number: 10654660Abstract: A hygienic magnetic tray and conveyor. The low-profile tray includes a forcer sandwiched between an article-supporting top and an opposite bottom. The top is made of hygienic material, and the bottom can be made of a low-friction material. The tray is propelled along a guide surface on an enclosure housing stator coils supported in a conveyor frame. The stator forms a linear motor with the forcer in the tray. Various disposal systems provide escape routes for removing fluids and debris from the guide surface of the stator enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2018Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Laitram, L.L.C.Inventors: Bryant G. Ragan, Shuchi P. Khurana, John F. Landrum, Aditya Mehendale, Gerard Johannes Pieter Nijsse, Funda Sahin-Nomaler, Silvester Matheus Reijnders, Ewout Peter van der Laan

Publication number: 20170196593Abstract: An apparatus is described that includes a vacuum line and a head coupled to a first end portion of the vacuum line. The vacuum line defines a fluid passageway. The head is configured to be removably coupled to a first portion of a reusable device. The head includes a contact portion configured to contact a surface associated with a target location. The contact portion is configured to circumscribe an opening to a bodily cavity associated with the target location. The head defines a volume through which a vacuum is conveyed to the surface associated with the target location. The volume is in fluid communication with the fluid passageway of the vacuum line.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2017Publication date: July 13, 2017Applicant: Bioceptive, Inc.Inventors: Shuchi P. KHURANA, Benjamin D. CAPPIELLO, Colin A. DAVIS, Charles R. DEARK, III

Patent number: 9662733Abstract: Methods for welding a particle-matrix composite body to another body and repairing particle-matrix composite bodies are disclosed. Additionally, earth-boring tools having a joint that includes an overlapping root portion and a weld groove having a face portion with a first bevel portion and a second bevel portion are disclosed. In some embodiments, a particle-matrix bit body of an earth-boring tool may be repaired by removing a damaged portion, heating the particle-matrix composite bit body, and forming a built-up metallic structure thereon. In other embodiments, a particle-matrix composite body may be welded to a metallic body by forming a joint, heating the particle-matrix composite body, melting a metallic filler material forming a weld bead and cooling the welded particle-matrix composite body, metallic filler material and metallic body at a controlled rate.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2008Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: John H. Stevens, Redd H. Smith, James A. Oxford, Jose E. Ramirez, Nathan D. Ames, Shuchi P. Khurana

Publication number: 20160128729Abstract: A device includes an insertion member having a distal end portion configured to be removably engaged with an implant, and a sheath having an exit portion and defining a lumen. The exit portion of the sheath includes a set of dilation members configured to be moved from a first configuration to a second configuration. The set of dilation members forms a dilation surface when the set of dilation members is in the first configuration and defines an opening when the set of dilation members is in the second configuration. The sheath includes a hinge configured to facilitate movement of the set of dilation members between the first configuration and the second configuration. The distal end portion of the insertion member configured to move within the lumen to convey the implant from within the lumen via the opening when the set of dilation members is in the second configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2014Publication date: May 12, 2016Applicant: Bioceptive, Inc.Inventors: Shuchi P. KHURANA, Benjamin D. CAPPIELLO, Alan BACHMAN, Jeffrey RANSDEN
