  • Publication number: 20220176147
    Abstract: A wound dressing and method of use is provided that increases healing of tissues by targeting damaged tissue at a predetermined wavelength. The device includes the use of a negative pressure bandage, a flexible light sheet, and one or more bioactive marine extracts. Light emitted from the flexible light sheet penetrates through the bandage to target damaged tissue, which accelerates the wound healing process and works synergistically with the negative pressure bandage and bioactive marine extracts such as collagen fibers, alginate, chitosan and fucoidan, or any combination thereof to accelerate healing.

  • Publication number: 20220126113
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) therapy device and method of use is provided that increases healing of tissues by targeting damaged tissue at a predetermined wavelength and pulsed at a predetermined frequency. The device includes a housing and a light radiation module enclosed within the housing. The light radiation module includes an LED, a controller unit connected to the LED to control wavelength and pulsed frequency of the LED, and a rechargeable power source. The device also includes a light-diffusing member connected to the housing designed to diffuse light emitted from the LED to damaged tissue in a human cavity. Light in the red or near infrared range and pulsed at a Nogier frequency increases the effectiveness of the LED device to stimulate healing of damaged tissues. Particular devices include incorporation into a pacifier for healing an infant's gums, or nasal, auditory, vaginal, or anal cavities and adults or children.

  • Patent number: 7365461
    Abstract: A crash management system for implementation in a flywheel energy storage system (FESS) is provided. Implementation of such a system entails designing an FESS rim that is highly failure resistant, and designing the FESS such that if one, some, or even all of its components fail, they are physically prevented from accumulating and releasing enough energy to cause rim burst, thus leaving the rim intact and capable of safely remaining spinning even after one or more FESS component failures have occurred.

  • Patent number: 5701733
    Abstract: A combustor mount joins a mounting arm of a combustor to a conical nozzle support of a turbine nozzle. The mounting arm includes a conical mounting flange having first and second axially spaced apart radial lands and a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart outer holes. The nozzle support includes a conical seat having first and second axially spaced apart radial rabbets and a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart inner holes. The first and second lands are disposed on respective ones of the first and second rabbets, with the outer and inner holes being aligned. A plurality of fasteners extend through respective pairs of the aligned holes for clamping together the mounting flange to the seat to mount the combustor to the nozzle support.
