Patent number: 11535415Abstract: In an embodiment of the invention, there is shown a bottle having a plurality of shoulder faceted sections and a plurality of bottom faceted section positioned into the shoulder and lower well of the bottle respectively. A triangulated cylinder is formed into the bottle by having pairs of obtuse triangles with a shared side of the triangles located opposite their obtuse angles forming polygons around the triangulated cylinder and in a number of rows between the shoulder and lower well of the bottle. The body of the bottle is made of a material configured to allow the bottle to be compressible and expandable.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2021Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Berlin Packaging, LLCInventors: Alexander Nathan Garfield, Katrina Marie Epperson, Nora Kathleen Flood

Patent number: 9773658Abstract: The apparatuses disclosed herein include a discharge lamp configured to emit ultraviolet and visible light, an optical filter configured to attenuate visible light, and a power circuit configured to operate the discharge lamp. Some embodiments of the apparatuses are configured such that ultraviolet light emitted from the discharge lamp and passed through the optical filter encircles an exterior surface of the apparatus. Some cases of the apparatuses include a sensor system configured to monitor a first parameter associated with the operation of the discharge lamp and a second parameter associated with the transmittance of the optical filter. Some of the apparatuses include a means for moving the optical filter while the apparatus is in operation. In some cases, the apparatuses may be configured such that the optical filter may be arranged in and out of alignment with the discharge lamp. In some embodiments, the optical filter may be a multifaceted.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2015Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: Xenex Disinfection Services, LLC.Inventors: Mark Andrew Stibich, James Blaine Wolford, Alexander Nathan Garfield, Martin Rathgeber

Patent number: 9698003Abstract: Apparatuses are disclosed which include a discharge lamp configured to emit ultraviolet light, a power circuit configured to operate the discharge lamp, and a reflector system configured to redirect ultraviolet light emitted from the discharge lamp. In some embodiments, the apparatuses include a support structure containing the power circuit and supporting the discharge lamp. In some of such embodiments, the reflector system is configured to redirect ultraviolet light propagating away from the support structure to a region exterior to the apparatus and which is between approximately 2 feet and approximately 4 feet from a floor of a room in which the apparatus is arranged. In other embodiments, the reflector system may be additionally or alternatively configured to redirect ultraviolet light propagating away from the support structure to encircle an exterior surface of the apparatus. In any case, the reflector system may, in some embodiments, include a repositionable reflector.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2015Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: XENEX DISINFECTION SERVICES, LLC.Inventors: Mark Andrew Stibich, James Blaine Wolford, Alexander Nathan Garfield, Martin Rathgeber, Eric Martin Frydendall

Publication number: 20140319864Abstract: A reaching apparatus is provided for allowing a user to utilize gross motor skills to actuate the reaching apparatus. The reaching apparatus includes a fixed and a sliding handle on a shaft. An internal pulley system is connected between the first and second handles such that sliding of the second handle activates the pulley system to move the claw of the reaching apparatus between an open and closed configuration. The claw may be locked in an open and/or closed configuration by rotation of the handle on the shaft. The pulley system can be set to specific resistance to activate the claw upon different gross motor levels.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2014Publication date: October 30, 2014Inventors: Kristin Ludwig, Joel Gray, Olivier Franck Currat, James Blaine Wolford, Brian David Blankstein, Alexander Nathan Garfield, Andrea Ellen Fraga, Saad Ahmad Chaudry, Martin Rathgeber, Leo Chan, Tara Marie Arnold, Alan Yefsky

Patent number: 8872669Abstract: Devices are provided which include a component assembly for detecting inward, outward and sideways door movement. A component of the assembly extending from a structure comprises a distal end for contacting a door face when the structure is arranged in proximity to the door face. Systems are provided which include a portable stand, a door movement sensor attached to the stand, a proximity sensor, and a user interface. The system is configured to transmit signals to the user interface when the proximity sensor has been placed a predetermined distance from a door face and when door movement occurs. Apparatuses are provided which include program instructions for receiving input regarding a number of entryways of a room and inhibiting commencement of a task for which an apparatus arranged in the room is configured to perform until a number of signals received from a door movement sensor equals the number of entryways.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2011Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Xenex Disinfection Services, LLCInventors: Mark Andrew Stibich, Brian Cruver, Morris Miller, Kieron Hiuhon Tse, Brian Blankstein, Alexander Nathan Garfield, Martin Rathgeber, James Blaine Wolford
