Patent number: 8844306Abstract: A heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) system having a compressor, a heat exchanger, an expansion device, and a multichannel heat exchanger connected in a closed refrigerant loop. The HVAC&R system may also have a base, a retainer and/or a grommet for providing support to the multichannel heat exchanger and/or substantially isolating the multichannel heat exchanger from the base.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2008Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Jose Ruel Yalung De La Cruz, Jeffrey Lee Tucker, Tony Coleman, John Raymond Mathias, William L. Kopko

Publication number: 20110173998Abstract: The invention relates to the creation of hybrid refrigeration systems. In one embodiment a low pressure booster circuit is linked to an absorption plant to provide cooling at lower temperatures that can be achieved by the absorption plant alone. The combined systems are efficient compared to vapour compression systems, especially when “waste” heat from other processes is used to drive the absorption part of the circuit. The absorption plant can be provided with heat either by direct firing of a fuel, by waste heat from a combined heat and power (CHP) prime mover (such as a gas engine or gas turbine for example), or by any suitable source of waste heat from another process.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2009Publication date: July 21, 2011Inventors: Tony Coleman, Ciaran Wallace

Publication number: 20070225696Abstract: A method for photoselective vaporization of prostate tissue includes delivering laser radiation to the treatment area on the tissue, via an optical fiber for example, wherein the laser radiation has a wavelength and irradiance in the treatment area on the surface of the tissue sufficient because vaporization of a substantially greater volume of tissue than a volume of residual coagulated tissue caused by the laser radiation. The laser radiation is generated using a neodymium doped solid-state laser, including optics producing a second or higher harmonic output with greater than 60 watts average output power. The delivered laser radiation has a wavelength for example in a range of about 200 nm to about 650 nm, and has an average irradiance in the treatment area greater than about 10 kilowatts/cm2, in a spot size of at least 0.05 mm2.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2006Publication date: September 27, 2007Inventors: Scott Davenport, Steven Murray, Tony Coleman, Henry Garlich, Ken Arnold, Kester Nahen

Patent number: 6554824Abstract: Methods are provided for treating prostate glands or other targeted soft tissue using a solid-state laser. The laser can be operated to generate a pulsed output beam having pulse durations of between 0.1 and 500 milliseconds. The output beam is delivered to the targeted tissue through an optical fiber, preferably terminating in a side-firing probe or diffusing tip. By operating the laser in a long-duration pulse mode, charring of the targeted tissue is initiated quickly, thereby increasing ablation rates and reducing overall procedure time.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2000Date of Patent: April 29, 2003Assignee: LaserscopeInventors: Scott Davenport, Steven C.
