  • Patent number: 11964415
    Abstract: An injection molding apparatus comprises a support base and a mold carrier removably mounted to the support base. The mold carrier includes a mounting plate with attachment features for engaging the support base. A mold with two mold plates is slidably mounted to the mounting 5 plate. A clamp is operable to move the plates between open and closed positions. In the closed position, the plates abut one another. In the open position, the plates are spaced apart for removing molded articles.

  • Patent number: 11739727
    Abstract: A system and method for a for a wave energy converter device that is an axisymmetric point absorber which operates in a tension only condition over a large stroke that can operate in the given wave environment so as to eliminate the need for end stops in normal operation whereby the wave energy converter device has a floating hull with an interior Power Take Off (PTO) that uses an impedance control scheme for impedance matching with the wave environment in which it is deployed so as to maximize electrical power output as compared with a passively operating device of similar size.

  • Patent number: 10941748
    Abstract: A sea wave energy harvesting system includes a sea wave energy harvesting vessel positioned in the sea. The sea wave energy harvesting system dynamically adapts the motion of the sea wave energy harvesting vessel responsive to the sensed sea wave conditions to more closely align a resonant frequency of the sea wave energy harvesting vessel with the current harmonic motion of the sea waves.

  • Patent number: 8940914
    Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for the production of mono-esters and di-esters from the reaction of HMF and a reactant selected from a diacid or a diacid derivative; typical reactants are PAN, phthaloyl dichloride, dimethyl phthalate, maleic acid, and maleic anhydride or mono-esters that can be prepared from HMF and MAN.

  • Patent number: 8773032
    Abstract: An LED lighting control system incorporating a control IC for fast control of LED current in a switching Buck-type power supply through dedicated power supply control hardware with slow changing signals of temperature and input under control of firmware. The control IC optimizes the use of power from the source and optimizes the operating efficiency of the LED output while providing for a plurality of LED devices to be powered in parallel by a single controller.

  • Publication number: 20070097140
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the quality of a computer-generated image including a number of different objects. The apparatus includes a graphics display system with means to identify objects to be rendered into a graphic display as either ones to which anti-aliasing is to be applied, or ones to which anti-aliasing is not to be applied.
