Patent number: 8847606Abstract: A method for assessing insulation deterioration in a live underground power cable may include, in one embodiment, attaching a coupling device to a live underground power cable and using the coupling device to couple a test signal onto the power cable. The power cable may carry a normal AC power signal at a first frequency, while the test signal may have a second frequency different from the first frequency. The test signal may be detected after it has traveled a distance along the power cable. It may then be analyzed to determine a change in velocity and/or attenuation of the test signal as a function of the normal AC power signal. The severity of water trees in the power cable may be inferred based on the magnitude of the change.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2011Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: University of CaliforniaInventors: Richard M. White, Igor Paprotny, Augusto Giovanni Gonzalez

Patent number: 7191522Abstract: In a cutting blade assembly for an electric foil shaver, a first cutting blade of the assembly has a generally planar first face, a generally planar second face opposite the first face, and a peripheral cutting edge. The first cutting blade has at least one bump disposed on its first face. A second cutting blade of the assembly has a generally planar first face, a generally planar second face opposite the first face, and a peripheral cutting edge. The first and second cutting blades are arranged in generally parallel relationship with each other with the first face of the first cutting blade facing either the first face or the second face of the second cutting blade. The bump on the first face of the first cutting blade keeps the first and second cutting blades otherwise separated during a coating process in which the faces of the cutting blades are coated.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2005Date of Patent: March 20, 2007Assignee: Rovcal, Inc.Inventors: Maciej Murzynski, Giovanni Gonzalez, Raymond L.

Patent number: 5382254Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for individually applying surgical clips endoscopically to body tissue which includes a frame, an elongated endoscopic section having clip closing jaws positioned at a distal end thereof and surgical clips slidably positioned therein, rotatably connected to a distal end of the frame such that the endoscopic section extends distally therefrom. The apparatus includes a system for individually advancing the surgical clips into the clip closing jaws and a system for closing the clip closing jaws. An interference mechanism is associated with the a release mechanism, and is configured, dimensioned and adapted to prevent actuation of the jaw closing system until a surgical clip is positioned between the clip closing jaws.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1992Date of Patent: January 17, 1995Assignee: United States Surgical CorporationInventors: Richard A.
