Publication number: 20220412874Abstract: The invention provides novel devices to allow for the accelerated evaluation of the impacts of light exposure on the contents of the packaging system. Through this approach and using the methods described herein, it can be determined how the components of a complete package system perform collectively to influence its photoprotective performance enabling a first ever method to quantitate these impacts. The use of this device with the methods described herein will allow for package designs to be optimized for the photoprotection performances, for the impacts of packaging production defects to be explored, and for the influence of packaging form (e.g., surface area to volume ratio) to be determined. Such device capabilities allow a first ever means to provide simulated retail, isothermal light exposures to complete package systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2020Publication date: December 29, 2022Applicant: THE CHEMOURS COMPANY FC, LLCInventors: CHERYL MARIE STANCIK, PETER JERNAKOFF, TODD ROBERT EATON, ANDRE JOHN BREWER

Publication number: 20220404265Abstract: The invention provides novel methods to place a complete package system filled with a sample into a light exposure chamber as a complete unit with periodic monitoring of the contents of the packaging system. Through this approach, it can be determined how the components of a complete package system perform collectively to influence its photoprotective performance enabling a first ever method to quantitate these impacts. In turn this will allow for package designs to be optimized for the photoprotection performances, for the impacts of packaging production defects to be explored, and for the influence of packaging form (e.g., surface area to volume ratio) to be determined. Such capabilities allow a first ever means to optimize package systems for photoprotective performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2020Publication date: December 22, 2022Applicant: THE CHEMOURS COMPANY FC, LLCInventors: CHERYL MARIE STANCIK, PETER JERNAKOFF, TODD ROBERT EATON, ANDRE JOHN BREWER

Patent number: 11510004Abstract: A method for delivering an optimized acoustic signal to a targeted sound field includes determining a bright zone having a high acoustic energy sound delivery region and a dark zone having low acoustic energy sound delivery region. The system selects a finite impulse response (FIR) filter set associated with a plurality of loudspeakers, and generates, via the plurality of loudspeakers and based on the FIR filter set, an acoustic signal having a sound pressure due to the combined loudspeakers (p) at an observation point r in a sound field disposed in the bright zone. The acoustic signal is delivered such that the sound pressure due to the combined loudspeakers at the observation point is approximately equal to unity acoustic energy at the observation point when the sound pressure due to the combined loudspeakers is generated via a single loudspeaker of the plurality of loudspeakers, and the remaining loudspeakers of the plurality of loudspeakers are off.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2021Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventor: Andre John Van Schyndel

At a device comprising: a processor, a loudspeaker comprising a voice coil, one or more devices for determining loudspeaker voltage and current as a function of time, t, and a memory storing a Bl product for the loudspeaker, loudspeaker currents I(t) and corresponding voltages V(t) are received at the processor from the one or more devices. A current-from-voltage transfer function HIV(?) is derived from the loudspeaker currents I(t) and voltages V(t), as a function of frequency, ?. A Fourier space excursion-from-voltage transfer function HXV(?) is determined, whose form is constrained by parameters HIV(?), Bl, Rvc, and Lvc, where: Rvc comprises a resistance of the voice coil; and Lvc comprises an inductance of the voice coil. Filter coefficients are determined using HXV(?), which are used in a filter applied to an input signal for the loudspeaker.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2014Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: BLACKBERRY LIMITEDInventors: Andre John Van Schyndel, James David Gordy, Brady Nicholas Laska
