Publication number: 20240159784Abstract: Embodiments in accordance with the present disclosure are directed to apparatuses used for reaction screening and optimization purposes. An example apparatus includes a plurality of reaction vessels, a dispensing subsystem, at least one reactor module, an analysis subsystem, an automation subsystem, and control circuitry. The dispensing subsystem delivers reagents to the plurality of reaction vessels for a plurality of reaction mixtures having varied reaction conditions. The at least one reactor module drives a plurality of reactions within the plurality of reaction vessels. The analysis subsystem analyzes compositions contained in the plurality of reaction vessels. The automation subsystem selectively moves the plurality of reaction vessels from a location proximal to the dispensing subsystem to the at least one reactor module based on experimental design parameters. And, the control circuitry identifies optimum reaction conditions for a target end product based on the analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: SRI InternationalInventors: Nathan Collins, Jeremiah Malerich, Jason D.

Publication number: 20240065345Abstract: The embarrassment of passing gas in public is ubiquitous. One solution is to wear a filter underwear that is generally constructed with a single ply of underwear side panels that are separated by an activated carbon center panel. The activated carbon center panel is attached to an elastic waistband at the underwear back and where the activated carbon center panel traverses between two leg openings to the waistband at the underwear front. The center panel is constructed with a five-ply activated carbon fabric that is sandwiched between cotton fabric, which is sandwiched between bamboo fabric. The five-ply center panel is greater than 1 mm thick to provide filtering capabilities to sufficiently reduce the odor of flatulence to an acceptable level that is not readily detected by a person close by.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Stitches Medical, Inc.Inventors: Collin White, Robert White

Patent number: 10466016Abstract: A ballistic shield that is movable between an extended position and a retracted position is disclosed. In the extended position, the shield extends from the supporting surface to at least a height of a lower edge of a front wall of a ballistic barrier. In the extended position, the shield provides protection in an area corresponding to a gap between the front wall and the supporting surface. In the retracted position, the shield is removed relative to the supporting surface and provides clearance from the supporting surface.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2018Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Defenshield, Inc.Inventor: William Collins White

Patent number: 10383449Abstract: A bench that serves as a barrier from ballistics and explosions is disclosed. The bench serves the traditional role of providing a seating area while also providing protection from ballistics and explosions originating from an opposite side of the barrier bench. The bench may comprise one or more panels or plates and an upper wall that are adapted to repel ballistics and blasts. The barrier bench further comprises a series of interconnected members that together form a frame which serves to position the one or more panels and upper wall in a relatively upright position so as to form a barrier against ballistics and explosion blasts.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2017Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: Defenshield, Inc.Inventors: William Collins White, Jordan William Settle

Patent number: 9691751Abstract: A method of fabricating an integrated circuit (IC) includes etching a trench in a semiconductor substrate having an aspect ratio (AR) ?5 and a trench depth ?10 ?m. A dielectric liner is formed along the walls of the trench to form a dielectric lined trench. In-situ doped polysilicon is deposited into the trench to form a dielectric lined polysilicon filled trench having a doped polysilicon filler therein. The doped polysilicon filler after completion of fabricating the IC is essentially polysilicon void-free and has a 25° C. sheet resistance ?100 ohms/sq. The method can include etching an opening at a bottom of the dielectric liner before depositing the polysilicon to provide ohmic contact to the semiconductor substrate.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2014Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Bhaskar Srinivasan, Khanh Quang Le, Collin White, Sopa Chevacharoenkul, Ashley Norris, Bernard John Fischer
