Patent number: 11970409Abstract: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are destroyed by oxidation in supercritical conditions. PFAS in water can be concentrated and prepared for destruction in a pretreatment phase. Following annihilation of the PFAS in supercritical conditions to levels below 5 parts per trillion (ppt), the water effluent can be used to recover heat, returned to sub-critical conditions, and then released back into the environment.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Revive Environmental Technology, LLCInventors: Lindy E.

Patent number: 11931058Abstract: An atherectomy system includes a handle and a drive motor that is adapted to rotate a drive cable extending through the handle and operably coupled to an atherectomy burr. A control system is adapted to regulate operation of the drive motor, including providing the drive motor with a high frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) drive signal in order to operate the drive motor. The control system monitors a motor performance parameter such as motor speed or motor torque, and when the motor performance parameter approaches a limit of a performance range, the control system adds a low frequency PWM signal to the high frequency PWM drive signal, thereby causing the drive motor to produce a tactile signal that signals to the user that the motor performance parameter is approaching the limit of the performance range.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: David Gordon Spangler, Corydon Carlson, Laszlo Trent Farago, Daniel Frank Massimini, Mark A.

Publication number: 20240029828Abstract: To reduce the total amount of linear sequence (DNA, RNA or other medium) required to encode a set of genetic elements, the present disclosure describes a computational method for compressing genetic information by finding one or more sequences that each mutually encode multiple genetic elements in the same stretch of sequence (a “co-encoding”). The computational method encodes each of the genetic elements in respective directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) or finite automatons (FAs), then encodes overlapping sequences between the DAGs or FAs in a second DAG or FA. Additional DAGs or FAs may be encoded for overlapping sequences that result from shifting the reading frame of the genetic elements relative to one another and switching the orientation of the elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: David Frank Savage, John James Desmarais, Luke Mcdonald Oltrogge, Abraham Isser Flamholz

Publication number: 20230392999Abstract: A load sensor includes a compressible body positionable between two surfaces. The compressible body has a plurality of aligned layers including first and second outer shims with a middle shim positioned therebetween and with a resilient material interposed between each adjacent shim. The second outer shim has a gap that exposes an unsupported area of the middle shim. A strain gauge is coupled to the middle shim in the unsupported area. When the compressible body is uncompressed, the resilient material interposed between the first outer shim and the middle shim has a substantially uniform thickness. When the compressible body is compressed between the two surfaces, the resilient material aligned with the unsupported area and interposed between the first outer shim and the middle shim has a nonuniform thickness such that the middle shim deflects away from the first outer shim in the unsupported area, thereby deforming the strain gauge.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: Textron Innovations Inc.Inventors: David Frank Haynes, Philip Reese Boyer
