Patent number: 11971056Abstract: A head unit device for controlling motion of an object includes a chamber filled with a shear thickening fluid (STF) and a piston. The piston is housed within the chamber and exerts pressure against the STF from a force applied to the piston from the object. The STF is configured to have a decreasing viscosity in response to a first range of shear rates and an increasing viscosity in response to a second range of shear rates. The piston includes at least one piston bypass between opposite sides of the piston that controls flow of the STF between the opposite sides of the piston to selectively react with a shear threshold effect of the first range of shear rates or the second range of shear rates.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Moshun, LLCInventors: Timothy John Boundy, Steven Michael Barger, Terence Michael Lydon, Richard Michael Lang, Wilfredo Gonzalez, Jr., Darren Michael Boundy, Eric McHugh, David Schuda, George L Wilson, IV, Gary W. Grube, Jason K. Resch, Mario F. DeRango, John Edward Buchalo, Richard A. Herbst, Kurt Estes, Evan Anderson

Patent number: 11947407Abstract: A computer system, method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium are provided. A request including unauthenticated data is created and securely transmitted to a remote device, metadata corresponding to the request is updated to indicate successful validation, a response file is validated, and a discrepancy is detected between the unauthenticated data and the authenticated data. Correction data is obtained, and a transaction based on the request and the correction data is executed. A second processor of the remote device verifies that an unauthorized user has not modified the authenticated data, generates a database table based on one or more fields of the authenticated data, extracts one or more predetermined data values from the authenticated data and the database table, and validates the unauthenticated data in the request based on comparing the one or more predetermined data values from the authenticated data and the database table to the unauthenticated data in the request.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: FEDERAL HOME LOAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION (FREDDIE MAC)Inventors: David M. Wilson, Ann Epstein, Kathleen W. Scanlon, David F. Owens, Rajasekhar Penugonda, Raghu Kurlagunda

Patent number: 9312035Abstract: An emergency temporary spent fuel pool cooling system for a nuclear power generating facility that has a permanently installed primary loop within the nuclear containment and a mobile temporary secondary loop. The secondary loop is housed in transport vehicles that can be stored off site and is connectable in heat exchange relationship with the primary loop through quick disconnect couplings that are accessible on the outside of the reactor containment. The transport vehicles also include self-contained power and compressed air sources for powering and controlling the entire emergency cooling system. The system also has a make-up water injection capability for refueling the spent fuel pool and secondary loop.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2011Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Westinghouse Electric Company LLCInventors: Peter M. Newton, David W. Wilson, John M. Parke, James M. Wade

Publication number: 20140323984Abstract: A hand-actuated injector (10) includes a handle assembly (200) for providing discharge and aspiration strokes for a plunger (108). The handle assembly (200) includes first and second scissor-like handle members (204, 212) that provide a discharge stroke for the plunger (108) when manipulated in a first manner, and an aspiration stroke for the plunger (108) when manipulated in an opposite, second manner. The handle assembly (200) also includes a meshed-gear locking mechanism or hinge (248) that selectively prevents or at least limits relative movement between the first and second handle members (204, 212) in a manner that is associated with providing an aspiration stroke for the plunger (108).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2012Publication date: October 30, 2014Inventors: John K. Bruce, Geoffrey S. Strobl, David W. Wilson

Patent number: 8864675Abstract: An improved catheter is provided. The catheter may include a deflectable member located at a distal end of a catheter body. The deflectable member may comprise an ultrasound transducer array. The deflectable member may be interconnected to the catheter body by a live hinge. The catheter may include a lumen extending from a proximal end of the catheter body to the distal end. The lumen may be used to deliver an interventional device to a point distal to the distal end of the catheter body. The deflectable member may be selectively deflectable in a pivot-like manner through an arc of at least 90 degrees. In embodiments where the deflectable member includes an ultrasound transducer array, the ultrasound transducer array may be operable to image both when aligned with the catheter body and when pivoted relative to the catheter body.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2010Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: W.

Patent number: 8633461Abstract: In one characterization, the present invention relates to a radiation-shielding assembly for holding a container having a radioactive material disposed therein. The assembly may, at least in one regard, be referred to as an elution shield and/or a dispensing shield. The assembly includes a body at least partially defining a cavity. There is at least one opening through the body into the cavity. The assembly may include a cap that at least generally hinders escape of radiation from the assembly through the opening. The cap may be releasably attached to the body in one orientation and may establish non-attached engagement with the body in another orientation. The assembly may include an adjustable spacer system for adapting the assembly for use with containers having different heights.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2011Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Mallinckrodt LLCInventors: Frank M. Fago, David W. Wilson, Gary S. Wagner, Ralph E. Pollard, Jr.
