  • Patent number: 12288499
    Abstract: The present invention includes systems and methods for a six-primary color system for display. A six-primary color system increases the number of primary colors available in a color system and color system equipment. Increasing the number of primary colors reduces metameric errors from viewer to viewer. The six-primary color system includes Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta primaries. The systems of the present invention maintain compatibility with existing color systems and equipment and provide systems for backwards compatibility with older color systems.

  • Publication number: 20250116465
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a system and method for absorbing clean heat, storing it at ambient temperature for transport or delayed use, and regenerating with high exergetic efficiency. The system and method can capture high quality heat at high temperatures from a source such as nuclear, concentrated sunlight, or geothermal, store that energy in chemical bonds at ambient temperature, and regenerate the heat at the same or similar temperatures. By storing at ambient temperature, the process allows heat to be transmitted over great distances or held long term with minimal losses. The chemical reaction uses the Boudouard reaction with metal carbonate and catalyst to generate a higher heat than a typical Boudouard reaction. The sensible heat that is lost in conventional steam piping by heat transfer to the environment can be reduced or replaced with the present invention that transports chemical heat at ambient temperatures with little sensible heat loss.

  • Publication number: 20250114549
    Abstract: A portable ventilator device suitable for emergency use, such as cardiac pulmonary resuscitation and well as ventilation in non-cardiac induced medical events. The device is connected to a display screen that receives simple inputs from an operator, including height, weight, or sex of the distressed patient, but does not require input of more complicated variables, such as tidal volume, respiratory rate, inspiratory airflow, or positive end-expiratory pressure. Based on the input height, weight, and/or sex, the device automatically correlates the input values with probably values for tidal volume, respiratory rate, inspiratory airflow, or positive end-expiratory pressure, based previous data point correlations. The device then begins delivering air from a ventilator to the patient based on the estimated, correlated values. While the device utilizes simple inputs, it still capable of operating in multiple modes with both pressure control and volume control.

  • Publication number: 20250100984
    Abstract: Methods described herein relate to a partial reduction of esters to aldehydes or nitrogen-containing products facilitated by Group IV transition metal catalysts, using hydrosilanes as the reductant. The method allows the product to be preserved at the aldehyde oxidation level rather than over-reduction to the corresponding alcohol and can result in the formation of value-added recycled monomers. Methods described herein can be used for the direct catalytic chemical upcycling of polyester plastic waste through depolymerization transformations.

  • Publication number: 20240426786
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a system and method for ultrasonic non-destructive testing to monitor the curing process of a resin and filled resin materials during manufacture. The inventors have discovered that ultrasound parameters revealed in ultrasonic signal analysis reveals the degree of cure and therefore important curing stages during processing for a proper cure and allow the product to perform as intended. Generally, the ultrasound parameters include signal speed of sound and/or instantaneous peak power relative to wall-clock time of the ultrasound signal. The system and method can monitor the cure of resin and filled resin materials using instantaneous data without the need for previous data for that individual scan, can use ultrasound portably such that carbon fiber laminates can be monitored in-situ, and is conducive to isothermal cure or cure using a varying temperature profile. Thus, the invention represents a step in manufacturing of resin-curing products heretofore unavailable.

  • Patent number: 12173012
    Abstract: Equipotent indolocarbazole-derived analogs of staurosporine identified herein are prepared through C—H borylation chemistry. Functionality resides at C2 and C10 of the indolocarbazole aromatic region. Introducing functionality in this previously inaccessible region does not abrogate kinase activity and is shown to change the selectivity profile.

  • Publication number: 20240418902
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a diamagnetically stabilized magnetically levitated gravimeter and related method that allows measurements of relative gravity in a simple, low power consumption device based on a magnetic levitation principle using permanent magnets instead of using a mechanical spring. The gravimeter uses magnetic forces to balance a float magnet against the force of gravity, allowing for accurate measurements. The gravimeter includes a float magnet that floats between two diamagnetic materials, such as diamagnetic plates, without a need for external energy input due to the interaction between the magnetic forces of the float magnet lifted by the lift magnet but stabilized between upper and lower diamagnetic materials. The gravimeter is less sensitive to drift in response to stresses than a mechanical spring, have a lower temperature sensitivity, and lower energy and power requirements to take similarly reliable gravity measurements, which in turn simplify deployment and prolong operational lifetime.
