Patent number: 11464614Abstract: A mesh deployment device having separate mesh deployment and actuation units is provided. A mesh deployment device includes an actuation unit and a mesh deployment unit configured to be releasably secured to the actuation unit. When the mesh deployment unit is secured to the actuation unit, a first actuation of the actuation unit moves the mesh deployment unit from an expanded condition to a collapsed condition and a second actuation of the actuation unit moves the mesh deployment unit from the collapsed condition to the expanded condition. The mesh deployment device may further include a mesh releasably secured to the mesh deployment unit. A third actuation of the actuation unit may release the mesh from the mesh deployment unit. Also provided is a kit including multiple mesh deployment units.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: William T. Kelly, Jason T. Iceman, Jay Breindel, Erik Carlson, Thomas Wenchell, Kayla Cloutier, Shane Reardon

Patent number: 8858074Abstract: A temperature probe includes a flange, a support structure, thermocouple wires, and guide plates. The flange has a midline. The support structure is attached to the midline and extends away from the flange. The thermocouple wires extend along the support structure, and terminate in a set of outer sensing tips and a set of inner sensing tips. The guide plates secure the thermocouple wires to the support structure. The guide plates are offset laterally from the midline of the flange.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2012Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: Michael D. Greenberg, Ryan Spence, William T. Kelly, Joseph DeLorme, Bobby J. McLarty

Publication number: 20100167222Abstract: A fuel nozzle for use in a burner comprises a main body having an inlet end and an outlet end and defining a longitudinal axis. A fuel passageway has a fuel receiving inlet, and a fuel emitting outlet for delivering fuel to a mixing chamber of the burner. A first air flow channel having an inlet, and an outlet disposed adjacent the fuel emitting outlet for delivering air to the mixing chamber. The portion of the first air flow channel adjacent the outlet is oriented obliquely to the longitudinal axis. A second air flow channel has an inlet, and an outlet disposed adjacent the fuel emitting outlet for delivering air to the mixing chamber. The first air flow channel and the second air flow channel generally surround the fuel passageway, and are disposed on the exterior of the main body.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2009Publication date: July 1, 2010Inventors: Darsell Karringten, William T.

Publication number: 20100154771Abstract: An oxygen flow controlling rear housing member for use in a burner comprises a main body portion with a first oxygen inlet. An annular oxygen gathering chamber is in fluid communication with the first oxygen inlet. An annular wall divides the annular oxygen gathering chamber and an annular oxygen-flow mixing chamber. A first oxygen flow passageway extends between the annular oxygen gathering chamber and the annular oxygen-flow mixing chamber, and has a first height that is a portion of the height of the annular wall. A second oxygen flow passageway extends between the annular oxygen gathering chamber and the annular oxygen-flow mixing chamber, and has a second height that is a portion of the height of the annular wall. The height of the first oxygen flow passageway is greater than the height of the second oxygen flow passageway.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2009Publication date: June 24, 2010Inventors: Darsell Karringten, William T.
