Patent number: 11955685Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a radio frequency (RF) conductive medium for reducing the undesirable insertion loss of all RF hardware components and improving the Q factor or “quality factor” of RF resonant cavities. The RF conductive medium decreases the insertion loss of the RF device by including one or more conductive pathways in a transverse electromagnetic axis that are immune to skin effect loss and, by extension, are substantially free from resistance to the conduction of RF energy.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Nanoton, Inc.Inventor: John Aldrich Dooley

Patent number: 11805905Abstract: A lower chair for supporting an upper chair on which a user sits. The lower chair including a base, a swivel mechanism supported by the base and defining a vertical swivel axis, and a four-bar linkage mounted to the swivel mechanism for rotation about the swivel axis. The four-bar linkage includes a coupler link that moves about a coupler curve. The lower chair also includes a column having a lower end affixed to the coupler link for movement of the lower end along the coupler curve. The column defines a column axis and is adapted to support the upper chair.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: MILLERKNOLL, INC.Inventors: Mark Goetz, Brock Walker, John Aldrich, Andy Squires, Chris Holwerda, Adwait Bhagwat

Patent number: 11596232Abstract: A chair includes a lower chair and an upper chair. The lower chair includes a tilt-swivel mechanism defining a vertical swivel axis, a yoke, and a column extending between the tilt-swivel mechanism and the yoke. The upper chair is pivotably mounted to the yoke about a horizontal upper chair pivot axis. The upper chair includes a seat adapted to cradle the ischial tuberosities of a user.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: MillerKnoll, Inc.Inventors: Mark Goetz, Brock Walker, John Aldrich, Andy Squires, Chris Holwerda, Adwait Bhagwat

Patent number: 10376067Abstract: A back support for a chair includes a cover configured to be coupled to opposing sides of a chair frame. A strap is connected to the cover. A sled having a central portion is coupled to the strap, the sled is configured to pivot with respect to the chair frame and provide support to a user's back. The cover is configured to moveably connect to the chair frame between a low position and a high position. The sled is configured to pivot as the cover moves between the low position and the high position so that the central portion of the sled is substantially parallel to at least a portion of a membrane connected to the frame between the low position and the high position.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2017Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Herman Miller, Inc.Inventors: John Aldrich, Thomas Hornor, Elindo Castro, Adwait Bhagwat, Jeffrey Koffman
