Patent number: 9120073Abstract: A plasma reactor consisting of a plurality of elements placed between two or more plasma generating electrodes is presented. Said elements consisting of surfaces, conducting, and/or dielectric which allow for the dielectric isolation of the electrodes from each other and creating a plurality of dielectrically isolated spaces for plasma generation. This plasma reactor achieves a high surface area, with low capacitance allowing simplified construction and is suitable for high frequency operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2009Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: EON LABS, LLCInventors: Walter Riley Buchanan, Christopher Daniel Hruska

Publication number: 20140246381Abstract: A system for performing ozone water treatment comprises a voltage supply circuit and a plasma eductor reactor. The voltage supply circuit includes an H-bridge controller and driver, a transformer, and an output port. The H-bridge controller and driver are configured to switch the electrical polarity of a pair of terminals. A primary of the transformer is connected to the H-bridge driver and controller. A secondary of the transformer connects in parallel with a first capacitor and in series with an inductor and a second capacitor. The output port connects in parallel with the second capacitor. The plasma eductor reactor includes an electric field generator, a flow spreader, and a diffuser. The electric field generator includes a pair of electrodes that generate an electric field. The flow spreader supplies a stream of oxygen. The diffuser supplies a stream of water. The streams of water and oxygen pass through the electric field.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2014Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: EON LABS,LLCInventors: Walter Riley Buchanan, Christopher Daniel Hruska, David Forsee

Patent number: 7850260Abstract: An injection/ejection mechanism is provided for mounting and dismounting of a unit in a chassis. The mechanism includes a drive screw that cooperates with a threaded barrel, the threaded barrel being rotatable for engagement and disengagement with at least one chassis component. The drive screw can be rotated in a first rotational direction to urge the threaded barrel in a first longitudinal direction against at least one chassis component for mounting of the unit and can be rotated in an opposite rotational direction to urge the threaded barrel in an opposite longitudinal direction against at least one chassis component for dismounting of the unit.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2007Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Oracle America, Inc.Inventors: Gilberto Figueroa, Daniel Hruska, Hon Hung Yam, Michael S.

Publication number: 20090086456Abstract: An ejector latch for removing a blade module from a server chassis includes a latch lever, an ejector catch, and an ejector pull part. The latch lever includes a pivot hole near a first end thereof operable to be coupled to the blade module and a bend near a second end thereof. The ejector catch includes a through-hole passing therethrough and a hook operable to hook onto the server chassis. The ejector pull part includes an integrated spring operable to return the ejector pull part to an original position after being pulled. The second end of the latch lever passes through the through-hole of the ejector catch. The ejector pull part is disposed on the bend near the second end of the latch lever and inside the through-hole of the ejector catch such that, when the ejector pull part is pulled, the ejector pull part slides along the bend near the second end of the latch lever and pushes on a wall of the through-hole to disengage the hook of the ejector catch from the server chassis.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2007Publication date: April 2, 2009Applicant: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Michael T. Milo, Mark H. Chen, Brett C. Ong, Daniel Hruska

Patent number: 7474530Abstract: An apparatus for dissipating heat in a computer system includes a heat sink, at least one fastener which secures the heat sink to at least one first support member, and at least one cup. The first support member has a top side and a bottom side. The at least one cup includes a cylindrical cavity, an upper protruding lip, and a lower base having a hole through which the at least one fastener passes. A method for dissipating heat in a computer system includes, mounting a heat emitting component onto a printed circuit board, pressing a heat sink into thermal contact with a heat emitting component, inserting a cup into an aperture of the heat sink, and supporting a heat sink.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2007Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Thomas E. Stewart, Daniel Hruska

Patent number: 6798650Abstract: A bracket having two parallel sides and an interconnecting crosspiece is attached to a disk drive or similar peripheral with the sides of the bracket extending longitudinally of the sides of the drive and the crosspiece extending across the front of the drive. A chassis of a computer or the like has internal parallel sides formed with horizontal guides to receive the bracket, a substantially open front face and an internal connector engageable with a mating connector on the rear of the drive when the bracket is fully inserted in the chassis. The sides of the bracket have features to protect the drive from horizontal and vertical vibrations. A handle is pivoted to the crosspiece near one end moveable between at least three positions: a first or latched position parallel to the crosspiece, a second position swinging out at about a 15° angle and a third position at about a 45° angle.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2001Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Naum Reznikov, Michael F.
