Publication number: 20220190355Abstract: A typical fuel cell device that incorporates an anodic hydrogen splitting catalyst, with an electrolytic separator and a cathodic oxidant is provided. In particular, a fuel cell having a separator that can be kept in a dry state because the oxides in the anion section of the fuel cell will combine with the split hydrogen to create water to wet the separator. Additionally, the cathode can be exchanged to allow for reuse of the more expensive anode material.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2021Publication date: June 16, 2022Inventors: Talmadge Kelly Keene, Charles E. Entenmann, Rebecca Van Orden

Patent number: 10076319Abstract: This invention is directed to devices and methods for improving wound closures produced during endoscopic surgery. These methods are directed to delivering and applying a quantity of hemostatic agents in either powder, solid, liquid, or gel form onto an open wound produced e.g., by polyp removal, followed by the application of pressure. The method is implemented preferably using existing endoscopic equipment; however, modifications to existing endoscopic insertion tubes, application and tamping devices and endoscopic clips deployed from the distal end of the insertion tube during endoscopic surgery are also within the scope of this invention.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2014Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: BIOLIFE, L.L.C.Inventors: Talmadge Kelly Keene, John Tifton Fordham, Louis M. Guzzi, Charles E. Entenmann

Patent number: 9472812Abstract: An electrical cell and method for generating electrical power are disclosed for producing electrical energy from a gas such as hydrogen and isotopes thereof. The electrical cell comprises an ionizing material located within an interior volume of a housing for absorbing the gas and separating ions and electrons. An electron collector receives electrons generated by the ionizing material. An insulator material within the housing inhibits electrons from entering into an ion collector while allowing the gas and the ions to pass to the ion collector for generating electrical voltage between the electron collector and the ion collector.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2016Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: BIOSEARCH, LLCInventors: Talmadge Kelly Keene, Rebecca Van Orden, Charles E. Entenmann, David Cottrell

Patent number: 7556783Abstract: An energy conversion cell for converting electric power into heat. The cell includes a non-conductive housing formed of spaced, preferably glass outer plates sealed along common perimeters thereof to define a closed interior volume or chamber. At least two catalytic plates are held spaced apart in the interior volume, preferably separated by a dielectric plate. The catalytic plates are preferably formed of very thin palladium plate material. A gas passage in gas communication with the interior volume is connectable to a source of pressurized hydrogen (H2) or deuterium (D2) gas deliverable into said interior volume. A high voltage a.c. electric power source is connectable through a high voltage step-up transformer between each of the catalytic plates whereby, when a.c. electric current flows through the catalytic plates and across the dielectric plate, the interior volume, being filled with hydrogen or deuterium gas, heat is produced within the interior volume for external use.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2004Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Inventors: James A. Patterson, John A. Thompson, Charles E. Entenmann, Joyce A. O'Malley

Publication number: 20040246660Abstract: An electrolytic cell and chamber for converting electric power into heat. The cell includes a non-conductive housing and a conductive end member sealingly positioned in and extending from each open end of the housing. The end members have spaced apart proximal end surfaces to define, in cooperation with said housing, a chamber. Catalytic particles comprising an admixture of (a) palladium or palladium black particles, (b) inert non-conductive particles and optionally (c) boron particles are closely packed into said chamber and against each proximal end. A longitudinal gas passage extends through each end member in gas communication with the chamber. Each gas passage is sealably closeable, one gas passage being connectable to a source of pressurized hydrogen (H2) or deuterium (D2) gas deliverable under pressure into the chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2004Publication date: December 9, 2004Inventors: James A. Patterson, Charles E. Entenmann, John A. Thompson

Patent number: 4114760Abstract: A system for cooking and packaging bakery goods with minimum handling. Flat-folded, double-layer paperboard trays having spaced openings in the upper layer are erected and placed on a conveyor. A paper baking cup is inserted into each opening with its bottom resting on the lower layer of the tray, and a predetermined amount of batter is injected into each cup. The trays of batter-filled cups are transported to an oven for baking removed from the oven, and inserted into protective delivery and display cartons for purchase by a consumer. The tops of individual baked goods in the trays may be iced, if desired, and all steps are readily automated.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 1976Date of Patent: September 19, 1978Assignee: Entenmann's Bakery, Inc.Inventor: Charles E.
