  • Patent number: 11732470
    Abstract: An acoustic mount is described for damping vibrations between a primary structure of a building and a secondary structure of a building and which has a vibration damper interposed in use between the primary and secondary structures. The vibration damper is resiliently compressible in the axial direction and has at least one resiliently compressible damper element which is elongated in the axial direction so that the axial length of the damper element is greater than half of a transverse width thereof. The damper element reduces in cross sectional area in the axial direction; has a convex outer surface in planes containing the axial direction; and possesses non-linear axial deflection or compression characteristics under a range of static loading conditions enabling effective vibration damping or vibration isolation for a substantial range of loadings of the acoustic mount in use.

  • Patent number: 10253498
    Abstract: A building component (1) for attachment to an uneven surface (32) such that a gap (34) exists at one or more locations between the building component (1) and the uneven surface (32), the building component (1) including mounting means (10) located at one or more positions along the building component (1), the mounting means (10) having a portion (20) adapted to be located outside the plane of the building component (1) and between the building component (1) and the uneven surface (32), wherein fastening means attaches the mounting means (10) to the uneven surface (32) to enable the building component (1) to remain substantially straight when attached to the uneven surface (32).

  • Patent number: 10002895
    Abstract: An image sensor pixel may include a photodiode, a floating diffusion, and a transfer gate. A buried channel may be formed under the transfer gate. The buried channel may extend from the floating diffusion to overlap a portion of the transfer gate without extending completely beneath the transfer gate or reaching the photodiode. The buried channel may provide a path for antiblooming current from the photodiode to reach the floating diffusion, while allowing for the transfer gate off voltage to remain high enough to prevent transfer gate dark current from flowing into the photodiode.

  • Patent number: 9505034
    Abstract: A conveyor conveys electrodes edgewise along a path, and may include a conveyor belt for supporting a bottom peripheral edge of each electrode. The conveyor belt may include support cleats and safety stops. A plurality of wash nozzles are positioned adjacent to the path on opposing sides thereof. Wash spray from the nozzles is directed to impinge sides of the electrode. An enclosure for enclosing a washing section associated with the wash nozzles includes an entrance and an exit. An exhaust system may maintain the space within the enclosure at negative pressure. A drying system may be located at the exit of the enclosure and may include a pair of plenums. The plenums may include vertically extending longitudinal slots for drawing air along side surfaces of the electrode, and the plenums may be connected to the exhaust system for venting the air.

  • Publication number: 20140174485
    Abstract: Electrodes are conveyed edgewise along a path. The electrodes can be supported by their bottom peripheral edge and can be maintained generally vertically. A plurality of wash nozzles are positioned adjacent to the path on opposing sides thereof. Wash spray from the nozzles is directed to impinge sides of the electrode. The nozzles can be arranged linearly to form a nozzle array angled so that the wash spray impinges an upper portion prior to a bottom portion of the electrode. Separate sections for rinsing or pre-washing can be provided within a washing chamber. Used water can be collected and recycled.
