Patent number: 9816670Abstract: A lamp is disclosed with a circuit board that is manufactured from a flexible material. The lamp may find particular use in a surgical or diagnostic environment. The flexible material allows the orientation of lamp elements to allow for a custom light beam. The flexible circuit board allows for interconnection between multiple lamp elements at different angles and rotation without having individual rigid circuit boards. Furthermore, the flexible circuit board may be mounted to a back panel, wherein the back panel is configured to act as a heat sink to dissipate heat generated, in operation, by the lamp element.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2016Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: Amico Clinical Solutions CorporationInventors: Wayne Benson, Varun Chandan

Publication number: 20160223166Abstract: A lamp with at least one specific operational mode is disclosed herein. An endoscopy mode may be engineered to allow the lamp to create an even glow. The even glow may be seen to allow members of a surgical team to easily locate lamp during an endoscopy procedure. Furthermore, the even glow may be seen to provide limited brightness so that team members may more readily locate equipment in an otherwise dark operating room. Subsequent to location, the equipment may be relocated within the operating room.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2016Publication date: August 4, 2016Inventors: Wayne BENSON, Varun CHANDAN

Patent number: 8146375Abstract: A hydrocooler system for cooling produce. The hydrocooler system comprises a hydrocooler tank configured to contain a fluid used to saturate and cool the produce, and a thermal storage device positioned in the hydrocooler tank and configured to receive a refrigerant. The thermal storage device is configured to generate a thermal storage medium from the fluid on the thermal storage device in response to the flow of refrigerant through the thermal storage device.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2009Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Thermo King CorporationInventors: William F.

Publication number: 20110079025Abstract: A thermal storage device for generating a thermal storage medium from a fluid and including a storage tank for containing the fluid, a refrigeration system having a heat exchanger positioned in the storage tank, a pump for pumping the fluid through the storage tank, a storage medium detection device, and a controller. The storage medium detection device generates a signal corresponding to at least one parameter of the pump. The controller controls the refrigeration system in one of a first mode and a second mode based on the signal. The at least one heat exchanger removes heat from the fluid to generate the thermal storage medium thereon when the refrigeration system operates in the first mode, and the at least one heat exchanger does not remove heat from the fluid thereby terminating generation of the thermal storage medium when the refrigeration system operates in the second mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2009Publication date: April 7, 2011Applicant: THERMO KING CORPORATIONInventors: William F. Mohs, Bernard Wayne Benson

Patent number: 7743616Abstract: A generator set for a transport refrigeration unit that is operable at a first frequency and a second frequency. The generator set includes a generator and a prime mover coupled to the generator. The prime mover selectively drives the generator in least at a first non-zero speed and a second non-zero speed. A sensor is in electrical communication with the generator to sense a load of the generator and to deliver a signal indicative of the generator load. A controller is in electrical communication with the generator, the prime mover, and the sensor, and receives the signal indicative of the generator load. The controller selectively operates the generator at one of the first speed and the second speed in response to the signal indicative of the generator load.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2006Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Thermo King CorporationInventors: David J. Renken, Bernard Wayne Benson, Randy S. Burnham, Erich Lucht
