Patent number: 11975812Abstract: A stern drive is for propelling a marine vessel in water. The stern drive has an upper drive unit with a lower mounting surface; a lower gearcase coupled to the lower mounting surface and a trailing end surface that is angled relative to the lower mounting surface; and a propeller shaft extending forwardly from the lower gearcase and being configured to rotate a propeller for pulling the marine vessel in the water. The upper drive unit and the lower gearcase are configured such that when a forward side of the lower gearcase impacts an underwater obstruction, the lower gearcase is caused to pivot relative to the upper drive unit until the trailing end surface impacts the lower mounting surface, which thereby causes the lower gearcase to completely uncouple from the upper drive unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Brunswick CorporationInventors: David J. Waldvogel, Randall J. Poirier, John O. Scherer, III, Stephen R. Collins, Wayne M. Jaszewski, Kevin M. Moore

Patent number: 10307050Abstract: An embodiment of the invention receives by an interface a retinal image from a patient, and identifies by a feature extraction device vessel fragments in the retinal image. The vessel fragments include at least a portion of a major vessel and at least a portion of a branch connected to a major vessel. A processor computes estimated blood flow velocities in the vessel fragments with a blood flow velocity estimation model and determines actual blood flow velocities in the vessel fragments. An analysis engine compares the actual blood flow velocities in the vessel fragments to the estimated blood flow velocities in the vessel fragments. The analysis engine detects a candidate plaque affected vessel fragment when the estimated blood flow velocities in the vessel fragments differs from the actual blood flow velocities in the vessel fragments by a predetermined amount.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2017Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Rahil Garnavi, Kerry J.

Patent number: 10252920Abstract: Data relating to fluid dynamics is obtained using a flow field sensor that measures acceleration and angular velocity of the sensor on three axes. Ballast control allows the sensor to obtain neutral buoyancy within the fluid. The sensor is effective in opaque fluids and closed containers as data is stored in a removable memory. Froth flotation systems are among the applications for the sensor. The small size, the geometry, and the center of mass of the sensor allow it to follow the flow field in a vessel without material disruption of the flow field or weight-induced angular displacement.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2015Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Julia S.

Patent number: 10155229Abstract: Nanobubbles are employed to bridge microbubbles and non-buoyant particles, thereby creating sufficient capillary forces between the particles and microbubbles such that relatively large, heavy particles can be separated from an aqueous slurry. Nanobubbles are formed on hydrophobic particle surfaces. The microbubbles, which function as collecting air bubbles, form attachments with the particles. The nanobubbles create additional capillary attachment forces between the particles and microbubbles, allowing the microbubbles to rise with the attached particles to the top of the slurry for separation and recovery.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2015Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Julia S.
