    Date of Patent: October 3, 2023
    Inventor: Micah Douglas Shepherd
  • Patent number: 11154792
    Abstract: Methods for the gas-phase delivery of gases, such as process gases, from the gas phase of a multicomponent source liquid are provided. The methods are generally directed to the generation of process gases having mass flow rates which are proportional to the input power delivered to the multicomponent source liquid containers. The methods may be used to deliver process gases to critical process applications.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: RASIRC, INC.
    Inventors: Jeffrey Spiegelman, Douglas Shepherd, Russell J. Holmes, Zohreh Shamsi
  • Publication number: 20200073100
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for modulation and imaging of tissue.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 30, 2019
    Publication date: March 5, 2020

  • Publication number: 20180275389
    Abstract: This application discloses a tools and techniques for using a remote-focusing element (such as an electro-tunable lens) to provide enhanced focusing in an all-optical digital scanning microscopy system. The remote-focusing element can imaging of different sections of the specimen without moving the specimen itself, while at the same time providing the ability to correct for non-uniform indices of refraction in the imaged specimen and/or the surrounding medium which can cause misalignment between the imaged plane and the illuminated plane, which can result in loss focus in the imaged section of the specimen. The remote-focusing element can also obviate the need to move the detection stage and/or the illumination stage of the system to image different sections, eliminating vibration during the imaging process.

  • Publication number: 20060004137
    Abstract: A coating composition is an admixture of: (a) a fluorotelomer lubricant, (b) an acrylic coating (c) a solvent medium, and (d) a plasticizer. The coating hereof is particularly useful for coating paper, printed paper, conventional inks and inkjet inks, plastics, metals including copper ammunition and other products. The coating hereof is VOC-free.

  • Patent number: 6737388
    Abstract: A lubricant composition for ammunition is an admixture of (a) molybdenum disulfide, (b) a fluorotelomer lubricant, and (c) a solvent medium which is deposited onto (d) a corn cob particle absorbent. Metal particles such as BBs or other grit may be included in the composition for use with copper jacketed bullets. The lubricant composition is deposited on the bullets by tumbling or vibrating the bullets, or otherwise contacting the bullets with the lubricant composition; drying the bullets and, thereafter contacting the bullets with untreated corn cob particle.
