Patent number: 11988466Abstract: The disclosed technology can include a bypass valve assembly having a partition that can fluidly separate an inlet and an outlet of a fluid heating system. A first bypass valve and a second bypass valve can be mounted to the partition and configured to permit a fluid to flow between the inlet and the outlet. The first bypass valve and the second bypass valve can be configured to transition between a closed state and an open state. The first bypass valve and the second bypass valves can each have a spring configured to transition the respective first and second bypass valve from the closed state in response to experiencing a pressure that is greater than or equal to a respective first or second predetermined pressure. The second predetermined pressure can be greater than the first predetermined pressure.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Rheem Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Amin Monfared, Juan Garcia, Juan Carlos Montanez, Satya Kiran Gullapalli, Alexander Chow

Publication number: 20240081994Abstract: A steerable delivery system is provided for delivering a replacement heart valve to a native heart valve location. The steerable delivery system includes an outer sheath assembly having a capsule along a distal end portion for retaining the replacement heart valve in a compressed configuration. The capsule is constructed to provide both compression resistance and flexibility. The capsule may be formed with an outer polymer layer, a metal middle layer located on a radially inner surface of the outer polymer layer, and an inner liner located on a radially inner surface of the metal middle layer. A fluoroelastomer layer is provided for bonding the inner liner to the metal middle layer. The metal middle layer is preferably a metal hypotube.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Alexander H. Cooper, David Robert Landon, Kevin M.

Patent number: 11668488Abstract: System and methods for controlling operating state of a heat transfer system are disclosed herein. The heat transfer system can include temperature sensor positioned at the fluid inlet line and the fluid outlet line and a heat exchanger between the fluid inlet line and the fluid outlet line. The heat transfer system can include a processor communicatively coupled to the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor. The processor can determine an inlet temperature of water flowing in the fluid inlet line and outlet temperature of water flowing in the fluid outlet line and can determine a delta temperature based on difference between the inlet temperature and the outlet temperature. Based on the inlet temperature and the delta temperature, the processor can determine an operating state of the heat transfer system.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Rheem Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Jorge Miguel Gamboa Revilla, Satya Kiran Gullapalli, Sergio Fernando Montalgo Salazar, Juan Carlos Montanez, Amin Monfared, Alexander Chow

Publication number: 20220234911Abstract: A portable, personal apparatus for treating drinking water comprises a generally tubular or cylindrical filter housing containing filtration media and water-permeable screen or mesh or felt or membrane or netting layer at the top and bottom ends of the filter. The design of the apparatus involves the bottle exterior and interior contouring to the filter and enables the efficient and rapid gravity flow of water in through the filter. The apparatus may be configured such that water is first passed through a top reservoir designed to receive water, followed by a porous mesh, followed by granular filtration and antimicrobial media agitated by turbulent motion of influent water, followed by a porous mesh before reaching a durable and reusable water containment vessel.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2021Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Jay Kiran Parekh, Aakash Mathur, Arjun Daniel Srinivas, Michael Eugene Young, Alexander Chow Mittal

Publication number: 20150172374Abstract: A Mobile Content Transfer (MCT) system requires no special equipment or a physical connection to any hardware. The MCT system has no hardware limitation with regard to the number of simultaneous transfers. The MCT system can be used to transfer data from anywhere at any time by anyone without the need to go into a retail location. The MCT system can transfer and store all or some data classes to increase adoption and usage of the MNO Cloud. The MCT system eliminates the need for dedicated personnel allowing more personnel to attend to new sales revenue opportunities. The MCT system eliminates the need to wait for a single machine or individual and empowers the end-user to perform the transfer of their data whenever and wherever they choose. The MCT system provides the option to safely and securely store data in the cloud that can be restored to another device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2014Publication date: June 18, 2015Inventors: Omar Chaudhry, Alexander Chow, Robert Hanaway, Rajesh S.
