Publication number: 20170264983Abstract: Small-scale audio speakers of various shapes are installed in parent devices. Inner casings, and the surrounding vibration-damping zone often required between such casings and the surrounding parent-device walls, are omitted from the assembly. During integration with the parent device, each un-encased speaker and its signal lines are sealed into a single-walled enclosure that incorporates a parent-device wall as at least one side. The entire interior of the single-walled enclosure becomes a back volume for the speaker. The single-walled enclosure may incorporate seals at the speaker's audio-output aperture, at the pass-through for the signal lines, and at the interface between the parent-device wall(s) and the added side(s) constituting the single-walled enclosure. Optional adhesive-free sealing options include sliding tabs held by a snap-lock latch.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2017Publication date: September 14, 2017Inventors: Devon Worrell, David A. Rittenhouse

Patent number: 6969095Abstract: A connector assembly is disclosed. The connector assembly comprises a connector having an internal conical shaped bore dimensioned so that a capillary column and auxiliary tubing can be press-fit into the bore, and an auxiliary length of cylindrical tubing having an inner diameter dimensioned so that a close fit is created when a capillary column is inserted through the auxiliary tubing and having an outer diameter dimensioned so that a fluid seal is created when the auxiliary tubing is press-fit into the bore.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2003Date of Patent: November 29, 2005Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventor: David Rittenhouse

Publication number: 20040108718Abstract: A method and apparatus for creating a fluid tight seal between a capillary column and a connector. The method and apparatus are easy to employ and do not require the use of screws, ferrules, or additional tools. The method can be used for any capillary tubing as well as for megabore and microbore columns and tubing. In the method, a length of auxiliary tubing is placed over the outside of tubing requiring a fluid tight seal, such as a capillary column. After the capillary column is inserted into the connector, the length of auxiliary tubing is press-fit into the connector creating a secondary fluid tight seal. The auxiliary tubing provides additional mechanical stability during mechanical vibration and dramatically increases the tensile force required to compromise the fluid seal. This method can be used for many types of chromatography including gas chromatography and liquid chromatography. A connector assembly and fluid tight seal assembly are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2003Publication date: June 10, 2004Inventor: David Rittenhouse

Patent number: 6159585Abstract: A security paper indicates exposure to a solvent by a solvent resistant color signal. A metal mordant dye first co-reactant and a mordant dye second co-reactant form an organic solvent-insoluble colored reaction product when the paper is washed with an organic solvent. The metal mordant dye first co-reactant and a mordant dye second co-reactant are chemically isolated from each other so as to prevent the coordinate covalent bond from forming until the paper is washed with an organic solvent. The chemical isolation can be effected by encapsulation or other physical separation of the co-reactants. The organic solvent-insoluble colored reaction product, once formed, remains entrapped in the web when the paper is washed with an organic solvent. The chemical isolation prevents the organic solvent-insoluble colored reaction product from forming upon the application of pressure alone to the paper.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 1999Date of Patent: December 12, 2000Assignee: Georgia-Pacific CorporationInventor: David A.
