Patent number: 11744966Abstract: A vaporizer device includes a housing, a wick element that is configured to contact a vaporizable substance, an induction heating element located within the housing and inductively coupled to the wick element and not in contact with the wick element, and a power source electrically connected to the induction heating element. The wick element is positioned such that the induction heating element is around the wick element and the wick element is surrounded by the induction heating element. The wick element is configured to heat the vaporizable substance based on induction heating. The induction heating element receives an alternating current from the power source and creates an electromagnetic induction field around the wick element, and the wick element generates heat based on the electromagnetic induction field.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Philip Morris Products, S.A.Inventors: Andrew L. Bleloch, Neeraj S. Bhardwaj, Gabriel Brown

Patent number: 10688611Abstract: A system and method for using a robotic arm and a part gripping jaw to tend a CNC machine. A robotic arm picks up a part gripping jaw and used the jaw to grip a part, and moves the part into a vise in the CNC machine. The part gripping jaw has features which the vise engages, and secures the part in the part gripping jaw for processing in the CNC machine. The system and method includes a novel racking system, robotic end of arm tool, jaw grippers and vise system. The jaw grippers that hold the part are moved from the rack system, with the part to be processed, by the robot, to the vise where the vise uses the jaw grippers to secure the part for processing. After the part is processed, the robot removes the part from the vise with the jaw grippers and stores the part back into the rack system using the jaw grippers.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2017Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: VersaBuilt, Inc.Inventors: Albert James Youngwerth, Shane Christopher Dittrich, Benjamin Thomas Blaine, Sean Gabriel Brown, Eric James Lebsack

Patent number: 9966491Abstract: A bi-polar device is provided, along with methods of making the same. The bi-polar device can include a semiconductor substrate doped with a first dopant, a semiconductor layer on the first surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a Schottky barrier layer on the semiconductor layer. The method of forming a bi-polar device can include: forming a semiconductor layer on a first surface of a semiconductor substrate, where the semiconductor substrate comprises a first dopant and where the semiconductor layer comprises a second dopant that has an opposite polarity than the first dopant; and forming a Schottky barrier layer on a first portion of the semiconductor layer while leaving a second portion of the semiconductor layer exposed.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2016Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: University of South CarolinaInventors: MVS Chandrashekhar, Tangali S.

Patent number: 9797460Abstract: A clutch apparatus is disclosed having concentrically spaced inner and outer clutches. The inner and outer clutches are coupled for rotation via a coupling ring. The present invention is well suited to a configuration wherein one of the clutches is dynamically actuated and one of the clutches is manually disengageable by the operator using a clutch lever. In this configuration, the operation of the clutch lever by the operator is unaffected by the dynamically actuated clutch. The concentric configuration of the clutches is beneficial in allowing the improved clutch to occupy a similar space compared to a traditional clutch mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2010Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Inventors: Albert James Youngwerth, Jr., Daniel Scott Youngwerth, Sean Gabriel Brown
