Patent number: 11944130Abstract: A vaporizer device includes various modular components. The vaporizer device includes a first subassembly. The first subassembly includes a cartridge connector that secures a vaporizer cartridge to the vaporizer device and includes at least two receptacle contacts that electrically communicate with the vaporizer cartridge. The vaporizer device includes a second subassembly. The second subassembly includes a skeleton defining a rigid tray that retains at least a power source. The vaporizer device also includes a third subassembly. The third subassembly includes a plurality of charging contacts that supply power to the power source, and an end cap that encloses an end of the vaporizer device.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: JUUL Labs, Inc.Inventors: Samuel C.

Patent number: 11947165Abstract: A multi-fiber cable assembly includes a pigtail segments spliced to a trunk segment using multiple mass fusion splices. The splices are disposed within an encapsulation at a common axial location. A flexible conduit extends from one end of the encapsulation to protect bare fibers of the trunk segment. A protective sheath extends from the opposite end of the encapsulation to protect the pigtail segments. The conduit and sheath are axially fixed to the encapsulation.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: COMMSCOPE TECHNOLOGIES LLCInventors: Cyle D. Petersen, John Paul Anderson, Thomas Marcouiller, Kenneth Allen Skluzacek, Jonathan R. Kaml

Publication number: 20240103290Abstract: Optical systems for performing gaze tracking and imaging an external scene are disclosed. An example optical system may include light sources for emitting visible and non-visible light. The optical system may include a waveguide that is operatively coupled to the light sources. A volume holographic light coupling element may be disposed between the surfaces of the waveguide. The volume holographic light coupling element may include a grating medium and a first volume holographic grating structure within the grating medium. In some examples, the first volume holographic grating structure may be configured to reflect non-visible light of a first wavelength about a first reflective axis offset from a surface normal of the grating medium at a first incidence angle. The optical system may also include an optical filter. Another example optical system may include an imaging device that is configured to receive the light external to the optical system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Mark R. Ayres, Adam Urness, Kenneth E. Anderson, Friso Schlottau

Patent number: 11106473Abstract: An integrated computing system configuration system includes a computer-based system that when executed, receives component definitions associated with physical components that are to be configured in a portion of a first sub-system of a first customized integrated computing system. Using the received component definitions, the system generates the first sub-system definition, which can be combined with a second sub-system definition to form a first integrated computing system. The system may also combine the first sub-system definition with another second sub-system definitions to form a second customized integrated computing system definition that is different from the first customized integrated computing system definition.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2019Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Kenneth R. Anderson, Mark S. Tuck, Daniel J. Butzer, Collin J. Miller, Darrell J. Dillon

Publication number: 20150360413Abstract: An exemplary system for manufacturing a decorated polycarbonate sheet can include a mold, which has a surface and a three-dimensional pattern formed on the surface, such that the three-dimensional pattern resembles a machined metal surface. A substrate can be configured to contact a curable photopolymer, such that the curable photopolymer forms a curable layup disposed between the substrate and the mold. A light source can be configured to cure the curable layup so as to form a cured layup. The mold can be configured to be separated from the cured layup, and the cured layup can have a decorative surface texture corresponding with the three-dimensional pattern, such that the decorative surface finish mirrors the three-dimensional pattern resembling the machined metal surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2015Publication date: December 17, 2015Applicant: Northern Engraving CorporationInventors: Kevin E.

Patent number: 6207051Abstract: A portable hydraulic fluid handler cart capable of transporting liquid storage containers and providing filtered fluid transfer. Quick-disconnect couplers at the cart and system adapters, along with replaceable filter cartridges, maintain fluid integrity at the system and serviced equipment. An electric motor, transfer pump, retractable extension cord and power control switch mount to the cart. Forks, rails and an adjustable clamp contain a liquid drum to the cart. A pair of handles and four wheels facilitate gripping, tipping and transport of drum containers. A kickstand stabilizes the cart when used alone. The filter media at the cart and adapters is selected to simultaneously filter liquid-borne and airborne particles and water from the fluid.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1999Date of Patent: March 27, 2001Inventors: Steven D. Anderson, Kenneth R. Anderson, Nancy A. Faust
