Publication number: 20220288667Abstract: A hydraulic tube expander includes expanding jaws engageable with an interior surface of a tube to expand the tube; a source of hydraulic fluid, a valve located between the source and the expanding jaws and a single-action release actuator operatively coupled to the valve. The valve is moveable between open and closed positions. In the closed position, hydraulic fluid can pass from the source to the expanding jaws and in the open position the hydraulic fluid can pass from the expanding jaws to the source. The actuator is movable between first and second positions. In the first position the valve is in the closed position. Movement of the actuator in a direction from the first position toward the second position moves the valve into the open position.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Joseph Houle, Roman Lomeli

Patent number: 8913605Abstract: Implementations described herein may provide for VoIP phone or server devices, where the phones include visual menus through which a user of the phone can modify options or features relating to the user's account. In one implementation, the phone may receive a data structure defining features relating to communication services for the phone device. The phone may parse the data structure to obtain a menu corresponding to the features and present the menu to a user of the phone device.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2008Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Dennis Joseph Houle, Loyd Gene Collier, III, William Michael Kewin

Patent number: 6749830Abstract: The present invention relates to a new method for radiolabeling chemical compounds. The new method attains the goals of simplicity, high radiochemical yields, speed, versatility, and automation. An HPLC injection loop on an HPLC injection valve is loaded with a solution of precursor and the radiolabeling reagent is passed through the loop. The contents of the loop are then quantitatively injected onto the HPLC column for purification. Radiochemical yields are equal to or superior to conventional solution methods in all cases, even though no heat need be applied. Since no vials, transfer lines, cooling, heating, or sealing valves are required, no transfer losses occur, yields are high, and clean-up is minimal. This “loop method” is ideal for the preparation of radiolabeled compounds, in particular those prepared from [11C]-iodomethane.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2002Date of Patent: June 15, 2004Assignee: Centre for Addiction and Mental HealthInventors: Alan Alexander Wilson, Armando Francisco Garcia, Li Jin, Sylvain Joseph Houle
