Patent number: 9675456Abstract: A delivery system for percutaneously deploying a valve prosthesis. The system includes a catheter assembly including a delivery sheath capsule and a handle having an oscillating device. The capsule is configured to compressively retain the valve prosthesis during implantation. After the valve prosthesis is partially exposed during implantation, the oscillating device can create a vibratory motion to reduce the friction between the valve prosthesis and the delivery sheath capsule in order to recapture the valve prosthesis.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2012Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Jason Quill, Paul Rothstein, Thomas Secord, Byron Johnson

Patent number: 9648792Abstract: An arm assembly is provided. The arm assembly includes a heat exchanger assembly, a plurality of electrical components thermally coupled to the heat exchanger assembly, and a number of electrical buses. Each electrical component is coupled to, and in electrical communication with, one electrical bus. A sealing compound is then applied to each electrical bus and to a limited number of the electrical components.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2015Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: EATON CORPORATIONInventors: Jonathan Crouch, Wesley Byron Johnson, Irving Gibbs, Ron Schueneman

Patent number: 9620937Abstract: An electrical enclosure apparatus includes a protective apparatus that permits forced-air cooling of the interior of the enclosure while resisting structures that are within in the interior from being blown out of the electrical enclosure as a result of an arc event or other event. The protective apparatus includes a flow apparatus formed from one or more blocks of ceramic material having formed therein a plurality of elongated flow channels. The flow apparatus is supported inside a duct with the use of a support apparatus. The ceramic material from which the flow apparatus is formed is configured to withstand the heat that may be experienced in an arc event and is additionally configured to be sufficiently rigid and tough to retain within the duct any structures within the enclosure from being blown out of the protective apparatus, thereby protecting personnel who may be in the area.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2015Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: EATON CORPORATIONInventors: Wesley Byron Johnson, Jon Christopher Beaver

Publication number: 20170063052Abstract: An arc-resistant electrical enclosure includes an arresting system that permits forced-air cooling of the interior region to occur during ordinary operation of the enclosure while resisting the flow of hot gases, plasma, and flames to the exterior of the electrical enclosure in an arc event or other event. The arresting system advantageously includes a louver apparatus and a cover apparatus that work in conjunction to resist the flow of gases, plasma, and flames to the exterior of the cabinet in an arc event. The louver apparatus includes louvers that can be moved from an open state to a closed state responsive to a predetermined fluid pressure impinging on the louvers. The cover apparatus includes a fire blocking panel that permits fluid flow therethrough during ordinary operation but which, responsive to a flame, initiates a transformation from one state to another state wherein the openings resist the communication of flames therethrough.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2015Publication date: March 2, 2017Applicant: EATON CORPORATIONInventors: WESLEY BYRON JOHNSON, DAVID GLENN WOOLARD

Patent number: 9241430Abstract: A power pole inverter is provided. The power pole inverter includes a housing assembly, a capacitor assembly, a number of arm assemblies, a number of heat sinks, and a support assembly. The housing assembly includes a number of sidewalk. The housing assembly sidewalls defining an enclosed space. The capacitor assembly is coupled to the housing assembly. Each arm assembly includes a plurality of electrical components and a number of electrical buses. Each the electrical bus includes a body with terminals, each the terminal structured to be coupled to, and in electrical communication with, the capacitor assembly, each arm assembly including a neutral terminal. Each arm assembly is coupled to, and in electrical communication with, the capacitor assembly. The support assembly includes a non-conductive frame assembly. The support assembly is structured to support each the heat sink in isolation.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2014Date of Patent: January 19, 2016Assignee: EATON CORPORATIONInventors: Jonathan Charles Crouch, Irving Albert Gibbs, Wesley Byron Johnson, Paul Thomas Murray, Ron Carl Schueneman

Patent number: 8908557Abstract: A method and system for enabling a network service provider to monitor a packet network by using call detail records (CDRs) are disclosed. The method first detects a termination of a call by at least one voice gateway router and generates a call detail record (CDR) at said termination of said call by said at least one voice gateway router. The method then forwards said call detail record by said at least one voice gateway router to at least one CDR collecting and analysis server.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2013Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P.Inventors: Howard Lang, Jeff Boni, Byron Johnson, Herman Lee, John Lee, John H.
