Patent number: 11317878Abstract: A mammographic imaging system is optimized for use with a single fixed size flat panel digital image receptor. It accommodates compression devices (paddles) of varying sizes, and positions them properly in a field of view of the image receptor. When a compression paddle with size smaller than the field of view of the image receptor is used, the compression paddle can be shifted laterally in the direction parallel to the chest wall, so as to facilitate different views of different size breasts, and permit the image receptor to image as much of the desired tissue as passible. An automatic X-ray collimator restricts the X-ray illumination of the breast in accordance with the compression paddle size and location in the field of view. An anti-scatter grid, mounted inside the image receptor enclosure, just below the top cover of the enclosure, can be retracted out of the field of view of the image receptor for use in magnification imaging.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Hologic, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Defreitas, Anthony Pellegrino, Thomas A. Farbizio, Roman Janer, Georgia Hitzke

Patent number: 11174839Abstract: A system comprising a blade pitch system having a set of locking holes. A pitch drive assembly is coupled to the blade pitch system and configured to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise within a range of angular degrees to adjust a blade pitch angle. The system includes a pitch lock pin-and-hole system including an interface plate and at least one blade pitch lock assembly coupled to the interface plate. Each lock assembly includes a locking pin having a pin center axis parallel with a center axis of a locking hole to engage a respective one locking hole of the set to lock the blade pitch angle.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2019Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATIONInventors: Daniel A. Broderick, Stephen Firkser, Anthony Pellegrino

Patent number: 10595625Abstract: A disposable cleaning pad having a grout cleaning brush includes a bristle attachment for use with a disposable pad. The bristle attachment is molded into a rectangular base piece forming a stand-alone removable brush that can be removably attached to a disposable pad. A top rectangular piece of similar dimensions to the base is connected to the end portion of the base by way of a hinge. The ends opposite the hinge have mating clasps that allow for the brush assembly to be securely yet removably fastened to an existing cleaning pad which is then mounted in the normal manner to the cleaning system. The brush assembly enjoys a longer life than that expected from a disposable cleaning pad thus the brush assembly may be reused many times before it needs to be replaced.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2012Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Inventor: Leonard Anthony Pellegrino
