Patent number: 11937893Abstract: Provided herein is a system and method for mitigating premature light deactivation of light deactivated adhesive drapes. One aspect provides a system comprising a drape, a photosensitive adhesive layer, a release agent, and an optical fiber mesh layer configured as a light pipe, where the system is adapted to be coupled to a tissue site and released therefrom upon or after exposure to an external stimulus such as certain wavelengths of light. Another aspect includes a pipe light pipe, as an alternative to the optical fiber mesh layer. The systems may have a removable blocking layer to prevent the photosensitive adhesive from being exposed to deactivation wavelengths prematurely. Another aspect provides a method for application and removal of a drape using the light pipe to transport or route light to the drape to deactivate the photosensitive adhesive layer and promote easy, clean, and less painful removal of the drape.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2019Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Timothy Mark Robinson, Christopher Brian Locke, Justin Alexander Long, Ashwatha Price

Publication number: 20070047719Abstract: A distributed voice applications system includes a voice applications rendering agent and at least one voice applications agent that is configured to provide voice applications to an individual user. A management system may control and direct the voice applications rendering agent to create voice applications that are personalized for individual users based on user characteristics, information about the environment in which the voice applications will be performed, prior user interactions and other information. The voice applications agent and components of customized voice applications may be resident on a local user device which includes a voice browser and speech recognition capabilities. The local device, voice applications rendering agent and management system may be interconnected via a communications network.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2006Publication date: March 1, 2007Inventors: Vishal Dhawan, Timothy Price

Publication number: 20050199291Abstract: A poppet-type check valve for controlling fluid flow, and including a valve housing having an interior and first and second ports therein communicating with the interior of the valve housing for permitting fluid flow from an upstream side to a downstream side thereof. At least one valve assembly is disposed within the interior of the valve housing for controlling the fluid flow therethrough. The valve assembly includes a valve seat positioned in the interior of the valve housing and a seal retainer positioned in the interior of the valve housing downstream from the valve seat and mounted on a stem. The seal retainer and the stem are axially moveable away from the valve seat in response to fluid flow in a downstream direction at a predetermined flow rate, and axially moveable towards and into sealing engagement with the valve seat in response to a downstream fluid flow at a flow rate less than the predetermined flow rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2004Publication date: September 15, 2005Applicant: Conbraco Industries, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Price, Robert Funderburk, Gareth Taylor

Patent number: 6188223Abstract: An apparatus for borehole electric field telemetry includes a source of modulated voltage or current, at least one axially extending collar collar connected between pipe sections in a pipe string, and a system of insulated wireline components providing electrical connections, insulated from drilling fluids, between the ends of the one or more aforementioned insulative collars in the pipe string, to transmit the voltage or current. The source of modulated voltage or current comprises an electrical pulse-producer for producing short duration pulse wave forms selected to obtain optimum transmission characteristics in the underground formation. The electrical connections are to the drillstring, and there are upper and lower instrument housings associated with the electrical connections, which are upper and lower connections. The housings are supported within the pipe string, the upper housing located above at least one of the insulative collars, and the lower housing projecting below the insulative collar.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1997Date of Patent: February 13, 2001Assignee: Scientific Drilling InternationalInventors: Donald H.

Patent number: 4918460Abstract: A telescopic mast is provided in kit form with stays wound on reels in a predetermined order. This order is such that when erecting the mast it is only necessary to walk between the mast and pegs fixed into the ground and not between two pegs at a distance from the mast. This minimizes the amount of walking which is necessary in erecting the mast. Clamps between sections are formed from a strap around the outer of two concentric sections. The ends of the strap are secured together and attached to a member with a pressure face. A camming device between this member and the mast which acts against the pressure face and the mast enables the strap to be tightened thus gripping the outer mast portion against the inner mast portion. The top section of a telescopic mast is less inherent rigidity than the bottom section and this it is preferable to construct it from material with a greater resistance to longitudinal bending than the lower section and to vary the resistance of the intermediate sections accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1988Date of Patent: April 17, 1990Assignee: C&S Antennas LimitedInventors: Brian S. Collins, Reginald F. Batters, Mervyn Brameld, Timothy Price
