Publication number: 20220234142Abstract: Systems and methods of laser ablating a component to form a cavity are provided. In one aspect, a laser system laser ablates a component to remove a slice of material therefrom so that at least a portion of a section of the cavity is formed. With the slice of material removed, the laser system laser ablates the component along an outline of the section to remove excess sidewall material therefrom to form one or more sidewalls of the section. This removes tapering of the sidewalls. This process can be iterated to form the depth of the cavity. The laser system then laser ablates the component to remove excess end wall material therefrom to form an end wall of the cavity to a predetermined depth.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2021Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Timothy John Koski, Timothy Francis Andrews, Caleb Dewayne Myers

Patent number: 9596738Abstract: Various systems and methods facilitate internal communication within a lighting module as well as intercommunication among lighting modules over an external network. The network may be a conventional network managed by a central network controller or may be an ad hoc or “mesh” network—i.e., a scalable network architecture in which any lighting module is a node that can communicate with any other module or network-connected device.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2014Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: TerraLUX, Inc.Inventors: Anthony W. Catalano, John A. Koski, Brett James Pardikes, Brian Eldin Brandt

Patent number: 8339726Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing a unique identifier for data storage media is disclosed herein. The servo track of the data storage media is encoded one or more times with media manufacturer's data. The media manufacturer's data includes a variety of information including the unique identifier. The unique identifier differentiates among different media manufacturers, different spools or pancakes from which a given media comes from, and different media within a given spool or pancake. The unique identifier scheme is configured to facilitate standardization among media manufacturers while providing error correction and flexibility for future changes in format.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2009Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Quantum CorporationInventors: John A. Koski, Matthew V. Ball

Publication number: 20110238016Abstract: A drug delivery device may include a base to be percutaneously affixable in an attachment zone of a synovial joint and a sustained-release drug carrier coupled to the base. The drug delivery device may also include an access device to provide access to the attachment zone. The attachment zone may comprise a non-articulating portion of a bone and/or cartilage with the synovial joint and the drug carrier may elute the drug into the synovial fluid sufficient to sustain a therapeutically effective concentration of the drug in the synovial fluid for at least 8 hours.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2011Publication date: September 29, 2011Applicant: Hospital for Special SurgeryInventors: Robert N. HOTCHKISS, John A. Koski

Patent number: 7522371Abstract: Methods and systems for sensing a position of a transducer head with respect to a storage medium. One method includes generating a read signal from a servo track stored on a magnetic storage medium. The servo track includes servo frames of magnetic flux transitions forming detectable servo marks, the servo marks forming a tone field of repeating servo marks oriented at a first azimuth angle and a mid-frame synchronization mark incorporated within the tone field, wherein the tone field provides a metric reference for dimensional measurements between features within the servo frame(s). The number of servo marks in the tone field of each servo frame along a longitudinal direction of the servo track before the mid-frame synchronization mark and after the mid-frame synchronization mark varies with lateral position.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2006Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Quantum CorporationInventors: John A. Koski, Timothy C. Hughes

Publication number: 20090040643Abstract: Method and apparatus for writing timing based (servo) tracks on magnetic recording tape using complementary servo writer pairs. A magnetic tape intended to store, for instance, computer data conventionally contains servo tracks in addition to the data tracks. Typically many servo tracks and data tracks are arranged laterally across the width of the tape. The adjacent servo tracks (bands) here are complementary in terms of the orientation of their stripes and are written (recorded) by a complementary arranged servo writer pair. This advantageously reduces the position error signal by a substantial amount, even to nearly zero. In one version the servo writers are straight in configuration and in another version they are curved or chevron shape. These complementary servo writer pairs write adjacent servo bands.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2008Publication date: February 12, 2009Applicant: Quantum CorporationInventors: Ming-Chih WENG, Turguy Goker, Jerry Hodges, John Koski
