  • Patent number: 11104768
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process for the processing of perfluoropolymer materials, and to the use of the resultant products in different potential applications, such as in the medical device field. The process can include, for example, the steps of: (i) dissolving one or more uncured perfluoropolymer materials in a solvent containing one or more liquid perfluorinated solvent(s) to form a solution; (ii) optionally adding one or more porogens and/or one or more functional additives to the solution formed in (i) to form a mixture; (iii) applying the resultant solution or mixture formed in steps (i) and (ii) to a substrate to form one or more partial or continuous deposited layers on the substrate; (iv) curing the perfluoropolymer within the deposited layer to form a perfluoroelastomeric product; and (v) optionally removing the porogen from the perfluoroelastomeric product.

  • Publication number: 20200341283
    Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) includes various features that allow for customizing the HMD to different users. The HMD may include an interpupillary distance (IPD) adjustment mechanism that includes a double biasing assembly for smooth, controlled adjustment of the spacing between lens tubes. The HMD may include a field of view (FOV) adjustment mechanism that includes first and second gear assemblies connected via a connecting rod to allow uniform adjustment of the spacing between the lenses and the user's face. The HMD may further include a swappable face gasket, a swappable visor, a removable head strap, and a modular accessory compartment for further customizations to the HMD. The HMD may further include inconspicuous spectrum-transmissive windows that are made with a spectrum-transmissive base material for the HMD housing that is coated with a spectrum-opaque material, and the spectrum-opaque material is selectively removed to create the spectrum-transmissive windows.

  • Publication number: 20180135590
    Abstract: An ignition control system for an internal combustion engine has a coil connector for connecting to an ignition coil, a processor coupled to the coil connector, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory contains instructions for the processor to, in communication with the ignition coil, achieve and maintain a target spark duration by dynamically controlling a coil dwell set-point of the ignition coil. The processor energizes the ignition coil during a first ignition sequence based on the coil dwell set-point, directly measure spark duration of the first ignition sequence by monitoring a voltage reflection on a primary side of the ignition coil, adjust the coil dwell set-point for a second ignition sequence based on the target spark duration and the measured spark duration, and energizes the ignition coil during the second ignition sequence based on the adjusted coil dwell set-point.
