Patent number: 11784348Abstract: Disclosed is a class of organic salts and electrolytes, generally for use with electrochemical devices. Some of these salts enable the transport of magnesium ions without the presence of any additives, such as halide ions. Precursors are generated using simple fluorinated alcohols as well as abundant reagents. These precursors, often dissolved in ethereal solvents, may be combined with an appropriate Lewis acid to result in solutions that are able to conduct ions and allow for reversible electrodeposition.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2019Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: THE TRUSTEES OF PRINCETON UNIVERSITYInventors: Jake Herb, Craig Arnold, Carl Nist-Lund

Patent number: 11482733Abstract: An anomalous battery operating detection device, which includes a sensing unit capable of measuring mechanical properties of a battery, coupled to a processor for determining whether anomalous behavior has been detected. These devices measure a mechanical property, identifying a difference in the property, and based on that difference, making a determination of anomalous behavior. Non-mechanical properties may also be utilized when making the determination. Responsive actions can be taken once the anomalous behavior is detected. The battery can be intercalated, and may be a lithium-ion battery cell. Alternatively, the sensing unit may measure strain. In addition, more than one sensing unit may be utilized, or a separate light source may be introduced. The system may be configured to allow the processor to determine the potential for failure before the battery fails.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2017Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: THE TRUSTEES OF PRINCETON UNIVERSITYInventors: Craig Arnold, John Cannarella, Xinyi M.

Patent number: 10977930Abstract: An actuation system used to actuate one or more buttons on a remote control device, such as a key fob, based upon commands that are generated from a mobile device. The actuation system includes a key fob enclosure located remotely from the vehicle. When a command is received on the mobile device, the command is relayed to a controller within the key fob enclosure, causing a button on the key fob to be depressed. The RF signal from the key fob is translated into a digital message which is relayed to a proxy remote located within the vehicle. The proxy remote, in turn, translates the digital message to an RF signal which is transmitted and received by systems within the vehicle. In this manner, the proxy remote is able to communicate using RF signals with the vehicle without requiring the key fob to be located near the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Blue Eclipse, LLCInventor: Craig Arnold Tieman

Publication number: 20190239994Abstract: An optical converter assembly includes a housing, a securing mechanism, and a light converter. The housing defines a first opening that receives part of a light-emitting portion of a dental curing light when the housing is selectively secured relative to the light-emitting portion of the dental curing light. The securing mechanism selectively retains the housing relative to the light-emitting portion. The light converter is comprised of a phosphor material and secured relative to the housing such that input light having a first set of wavelengths and radiant power emitted by the dental curing light is received. The light converter converts the input light to an output light having a second set of wavelengths and radiant power and to emit the output light. The input light includes a blue light and an ultraviolet light that polymerizes a dental material. The output light may be a white light.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2018Publication date: August 8, 2019Inventors: Neil Thomas Jessop, Craig Arnold McIntier

Publication number: 20180346862Abstract: Polymeric substrates, optionally in sheet form, treated with a thin layer of photoresist are perforated by laser ablation. Following removal of the photoresist the polymer substrates perforated with holes are patterned in stripes by photolithography, which is followed by synthesis of a cell-adhesive organometallic/self-assembled monolayer of phosphonate (SAMP) interface in the exposed regions, providing well-aligned continuous stripes for various levels of perforation. Cells plated on each of these 2-dimensional (2D) perforated surfaces attach to the interface and spread in alignment with pattern fidelity that is as high as that measured on a non-perforated, patterned substrate. A stack of such 2D patterned polymers yields a 3-dimensional (3D) device which facilitates cell growth and viability via the perforations.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2018Publication date: December 6, 2018Applicant: The Trustees of Princeton UniversityInventors: Stephen B. Bandini, Joshua Spechler, Craig Arnold, Jeffrey Schwartz

Patent number: 9576414Abstract: An actuation system used to actuate one or more buttons on a remote control device, such as a key fob, based upon commands that are generated from a mobile device. The actuation system includes an isolation enclosure that prevents RF signals from entering into or leaving an open interior of the enclosure. The enclosure surrounds a controller, a button actuator and the remote control device. The controller receives the command signals from the mobile device and converts the command signals into position commands that are used to activate the button actuator to move the plunger into alignment with one of the buttons on the key fob. The button actuator moves the plunger into contact with one of the buttons which generates an RF signal from the key fob. The controller utilizes a transmitting antenna to communicate a vehicle command signal out of the isolation enclosure for receipt by the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2016Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Tieman Vehicle Technologies LLCInventor: Craig Arnold Tieman
