Patent number: 11558036Abstract: A class of design topologies in the field of nonlinear networks (NLN) or nonlinear transmission lines (NLTL) that re-utilize direct current (DC) and low-frequency (LF) signal content reflected from a load or an output filter to yield increased pulse to radio frequency conversion efficiency and increased overall system efficiency. A nonlinear transmission line topology comprises a plurality of series inductive elements and a plurality of nonlinear capacitive elements. The inductive elements and the capacitive elements are arranged in a periodic structure forming a nonlinear network. An output coupling circuit connected across an output of the nonlinear network is configured to transmit high-frequency content to a load and to reflect back direct current and low-frequency content into the nonlinear network.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2021Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: The Curators of the University of MissouriInventors: Plamen Doynov, Anthony Caruso

Patent number: 10858155Abstract: The magnetic food storage is formed from a container and a lid, each with one or more embedded magnets. The magnets interact with each other to hold the containers to each other, hold lids to containers, and hold lids to lids. The magnets are preferably molded inside of the lid and inside the container, the magnets being surrounded by material. This avoids any contact between stored food and the magnets, thus preventing contamination.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2020Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Inventor: Anthony Caruso

Patent number: 8312038Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that programmatically provide a user interface for forming a query, comprising. A query builder displays a first row of query criteria, a second row of query criteria, the second row being logically connected to the first row by a first Boolean connector, and a third row of query criteria, the third row being logically connected to the second row by a second Boolean connector. In response to a user drag-and-drop operation, the query builder nests the third row of query criteria in the second row of query criteria. Thus, a drag-and-drop operation obviates the need for cumbersome groups of parentheses when defining the order of operation of the query.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2008Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Ariel Gregorio Ceballos, Michael Anthony Caruso, Kenneth Klaus
