Publication number: 20230067276Abstract: A shock absorber for a vehicle includes a damper tube defining a valving piston chamber that contains a hydraulic fluid. The shock absorber further includes a piston rod extending within the damper tube along a first longitudinal axis, and a valving piston assembly slidably fitted in the damper tube. The shock absorber further includes a seat tube disposed in fluid communication with the valving piston chamber and defining a seat piston chamber therein. The shock absorber further includes a seat piston slidably fitted at least partially in the seat tube. The seat piston is configured to move along a second longitudinal axis relative to the seat tube based on a pressure of the hydraulic fluid within the seat tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2021Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventor: Joseph Casper Bacarella

Publication number: 20180120335Abstract: Methods and devices for liquid-liquid extraction using digital microfluidic arrays are provided. A polar droplet is transported to a separation region containing a substantially non-polar solvent, where non-polar impurities may be extracted from the polar droplet while maintaining a distinct phase separation. In a preferred embodiment, biological samples containing hormones are dried on a digital microfluidic array, lysed by a lysing solvent, dried, subsequently dissolved in a polar solvent, and further purified in a separation step in which droplets are transported through a volume of non-polar solvent. The method disclosed herein provides the distinct advantage of an automated sample preparation method that is capable of extracting hormones from low sample volumes with high precision and recovery.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2017Publication date: May 3, 2018Inventors: Noha Ahmed MOUSA, Mais J. JEBRAIL, Mohamed Omar ABDELGAWAD, Aaron R. WHEELER, Robert Fredric Joseph CASPER

Patent number: 9657930Abstract: A low-cost, efficient, high intensity LED luminaire (HILL) assembly for use indoors or outdoors in wet, damp, or dry environments. In various embodiments, the HILL assembly can be powered by a universal AC or a DC electrical supply and can operate in a temperature range from about ?40° C. to about +85° C. The HILL assembly can include a lens element comprising one or more concavo-convex lenses; an interchangeable LED module comprising a plurality of LEDs positioned in a LED array; and a heatsink housing containing a power supply for the LEDs. The HILL assembly can optionally comprise a circuit board for the LED array that employs thermal via technology, a lens with a frosted lip for attenuating the light source as seen from an angle, and/or a sensor for sensing an environmental parameter of interest. Driver circuitry and the LEDs are preferably mounted directly on a common circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2012Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Ephesus Lighting, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Nolan, Joseph Casper, Joseph Witkowski, Jonathan Hull
