Publication number: 20240141545Abstract: A two-step process is provided for forming large photonic single crystals of about 0.1 millimeter and greater via DNA coated colloidal particles. The two-step process generally include decoupling the nucleation and growth steps. In particular, DNA colloidal particles are partitioned in nanoliter droplets formed in a water in oil emulsion using microfluidics. Once a crystal nucleates within a droplet, depletion of particles occurs as the crystal grows inhibit formation of more crystals within the droplet. A small number of droplets containing these seed crystals are then mixed with droplets containing weak DNA coated colloidal particles. The emulsion is then broken and heated at a temperature effective to cause dissociation of the weak particles while the seeds remain stable. The system is further cooled at a temperature effective that the particles stably adhere to the seed crystals resulting in growth while inhibiting nucleation of new crystals.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: William Benjamin Rogers, Alexander Hensley, William M.

Patent number: 11965440Abstract: A part for a centrifugal breather for an air/oil mixture of a turbomachine is configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis of symmetry. The breather forms an annular chamber for centrifugal separation of said mixture. The chamber includes mesh structure that takes up at least one space in a duct which closes communication between an axial inlet and an internal radial outlet. The mesh structure is formed by the spatial repetition of the material or of the space of a single pattern produced by the interconnection of simple shapes. The pattern is designed such that the spaces between the materials paths passing through the materials in at least three dimensions of space forming a trihedron.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: SAFRANInventors: Arnaud Georges Nifenecker, Benjamin Nicolas Fulleringer, Cédric Jean Daniel Plaino, Xavier Roger Betbeder-Laüque

Publication number: 20160171412Abstract: This disclosure relates to scheduling by a processor the supply a consumable liquid to a mobile machine, such as the supply of water to a blasthole drill. The processor receives from the one or more mobile machines status information relative to a machine cycle. The machine cycle comprises one or more first periods where supply of the consumable liquid is preferred. The processor then determines based on the status information the supply schedule to supply the liquid to the one or more machines during their respective one or more first periods. The supply schedule is determined such that the supply schedule reduces the likelihood that any of the one or more mobile machines has an insufficient amount of the consumable liquid available. This method reduces downtime of the mobile machines because liquid is supplied during the preferred periods while reducing the likelihood of running out of liquid.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2014Publication date: June 16, 2016Inventors: Charles Benjamin MCHUGH, Eric William NETTLETON, Benjamin ROGERS

Patent number: 8807637Abstract: A seal assembly for use with the front trunk, motor or engine compartment of an automobile is provided, the seal assembly including a sealing flange, a sealing member attached to an end portion of the sealing flange, and a hood assembly that includes an upper panel and an inner surface comprised of a sealing surface. The sealing surface of the hood assembly is configured to form a seal with the sealing member when the hood assembly is in a closed position. The sealing surface of the hood assembly is spaced apart from the end portion of the sealing flange, thereby allowing the sealing surface to pass by the end portion of the sealing flange when a downward force, such as that experienced during a head-on collision with a pedestrian, is applied to the hood causing the hood assembly to be downwardly displaced past the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2012Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Tesla Motors, Inc.Inventors: Matthew R. Partsch, Benjamin Roger Zabik
