Patent number: 11944130Abstract: A vaporizer device includes various modular components. The vaporizer device includes a first subassembly. The first subassembly includes a cartridge connector that secures a vaporizer cartridge to the vaporizer device and includes at least two receptacle contacts that electrically communicate with the vaporizer cartridge. The vaporizer device includes a second subassembly. The second subassembly includes a skeleton defining a rigid tray that retains at least a power source. The vaporizer device also includes a third subassembly. The third subassembly includes a plurality of charging contacts that supply power to the power source, and an end cap that encloses an end of the vaporizer device.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: JUUL Labs, Inc.Inventors: Samuel C. Anderson, Wei-Ling Chang, Brandon Cheung, Steven Christensen, Joseph Chun, Joseph R. Fisher, Jr., Nicholas J. Hatton, Kevin Lomeli, James Monsees, Andrew L. Murphy, Claire O'Malley, John R.

Patent number: 11929300Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) package with an embedded heat spreader in a redistribution layer (RDL) is provided. IC packaging facilitates a high density package for ICs, including monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs). However, IC packaging may result in reduced heat removal from an IC, decreasing radio frequency (RF) circuit performance. In an exemplary aspect, an IC package is provided which incorporates an embedded heat spreader within a dielectric layer of an RDL coupled to an IC die. The embedded heat spreader provides efficient heat transfer, robust RF performance, and operation through millimeter wave (mmW) frequencies, all in a miniature low-cost, low-profile surface mountable (SM) package.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2023Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Qorvo US, Inc.Inventors: Kevin J. Anderson, Andrew Arthur Ketterson, Tarak A. Railkar, Deep C. Dumka, Christo Bojkov

Patent number: 9615653Abstract: A brush has a brushing section and a handle section. The handle section has a recess with an open exterior end. An axial slot is formed in the handle. A core has an enlarged exterior extension. A plurality of parallel bores extend diametrically through the core at spaced locations. A plurality of elastic hair bands, each in a closed loop, are adapted to be positioned within the parallel bores extending from both sides of the bores. The core with extending hair bands is adapted to be inserted into the recess with the hair bands extending through the slot for selective removal by a user.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2013Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Inventor: Andrew C. Anderson
