Publication number: 20240136000Abstract: A digital thermometer includes a first oscillator to generate a first clock signal, wherein a period of the first clock signal remains constant in view of changes in a temperature of the apparatus and a first counter coupled to the first oscillator, the first counter to count a fixed number of cycles of the first clock signal associated with a measurement period. The digital thermometer further includes a second oscillator to generate a second clock signal, wherein a period of the second clock signal varies with changes in the temperature and a second counter coupled to the second oscillator, the second counter to generate an output representing a count of a number of cycles of the second clock signal that occur during the measurement period. In addition, the digital thermometer includes calibration circuitry coupled to the second counter, the calibration circuitry to calibrate the output of the second counter to generate a value representing the temperature of the apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Chiara Cerafogli, Kenneth William Marr, Marco Domenico Tiburzi, Matthew Joseph Iriondo, Warren Lee Boyer, Brian James Soderling, James Eric Davis, Fulvio Rori

Publication number: 20180064347Abstract: Systems comprising a combination of the handheld imaging system with a nanoparticle multimodal contrast agent are disclosed. The imaging system exploits the advantages of both near-infrared emission and the photoacoustic effect by employing calcium phosphosilicate nanocolloid that encapsulates NIR and CT/MRI contrast agents for enhanced deep tissue imaging as well as a portable NIR/PA system using a tunable pulsed laser, CCD imaging technology and acoustic transducer arrays. Methods for using the system, for example in rapid diagnosis of trauma such as that inflicted on a battlefield, are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2017Publication date: March 8, 2018Inventors: JAMES H.

Patent number: 7921638Abstract: A bi-propellant rocket motor having controlled thermal management is disclosed. The rocket motor produces thrust using a solid or gel-phase primary propellant that can be either fuel- or oxidizer-rich, with a complementary self-pressurizing secondary propellant selected to balance the primary propellant in terms of the equivalence ratio. The motor houses multiple propellant grains arranged in such a configuration that each chamber containing a primary grain serves as both propellant storage and the main combustion chamber for that propellant grain as it burns with the secondary propellant. The secondary propellant is stored separately, and the flow routed past the primary propellant chamber to provide cooling for adjacent primary propellant chambers limiting the temperature rise in the motor structure.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2007Date of Patent: April 12, 2011Assignee: Combustion Propulsion & Ballistic Technology Corp.Inventors: Kenneth K. Kuo, J. Eric Boyer, Peter J. Ferrara
