Patent number: 11933100Abstract: Thermally broken fenestration systems are provided that improve performance characteristics or combinations thereof, including strength and thermal conductivity. Embodiments disclosed include one or more fenestration frame assemblies, each having an interior frame member and an exterior frame member. The interior frame members and exterior frame members are coupled together via a plurality of bridges distributed along the length of the respective fenestration frame assembly. The bridges provide structural rigidity, while providing a plurality of air gaps between interior frame member and the exterior frame member to provide a thermal break.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: REHME CUSTOM DOORS & LIGHTING, INC.Inventors: Peter James Rehme, Aaron Hawkins, Mark Joseph Rehme

Publication number: 20220260533Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for significantly improving gas chromatography resolution using a dynamic and non-linear thermal gradient along the entire column length and is achieved by decreasing the velocity of analytes when approaching the back end of the capillary column in order to compensate for an increase in velocity of carrier gas as the carrier gas expands when approaching the back end, and wherein the thermal gradient is selected so that the analyte achieves a constant velocity through the capillary column.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: H. Dennis Tolley, Samuel Avila, Brian D. Iverson, Aaron Hawkins, Milton L. Lee
