  • Gate blocker
    Patent number: 10030762
    Abstract: A gear selector assembly includes a shift gate including a plurality of gates, a gear selector movable between the plurality of gates and including a pawl, and a gate blocker positioned to restrictively interact with the pawl of the gear selector to selectively restrict movement of the gear selector through a first gate to a second gate. The gate blocker includes a biasing member configured to bias the gate blocker towards a nominal position. The gate blocker is configured to not restrictively interact with the pawl to allow the gear selector to move from the first gate to the second gate when the gate blocker is in the nominal position. Each gate of the shift gate is associated with a mode of operation of a vehicle.

  • Fire Arm and Tool Oiling System
    Publication number: 20180195827
    Abstract: A firearm and tool oiling chamber comprised of an oil less air compressor, sealed chamber, oil atomizer and air filter. Said system introduces air through the oil atomizer breaking oil down to a fine vapor allowing the vapor to cover all surfaces of firearm or tool. As the vapor enters the chamber, being heavier than air it forces air out through the exhaust line and filter. Any escaping oil is caught in filter. The oil is able to cover all surfaces of firearm or tool and to penetrate into areas that hand oiling does not reach using much less oil than conventional methods.

  • Individual DC and AC current shunting in optical receivers
    Patent number: 9948401
    Abstract: A circuit may include amplifier circuitry configured to receive a current signal at an amplifier input node, convert the current signal to a voltage signal, and output the voltage signal at an amplifier output node. The circuit may also include overload circuitry configured to receive a replica DC input voltage and a replica DC output voltage. The overload circuitry may be further configured to detect that the current signal exceeds a threshold level based on the replica DC input voltage and the replica DC output voltage. In addition, the overload circuitry may be configured to, in response to and based on detecting that the current signal exceeds the threshold level, direct DC current of the current signal through a DC shunt path and direct AC current of the current signal through an AC shunt path. The AC shunt path may be different from the DC shunt path.

  • LAMP WITH HEAT SINK AND ACTIVE COOLING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20180100645
    Abstract: A lamp comprising a light source comprising at least one solid state emitter. The lamp comprises a heat sink body in thermal communication with said light source. At least one air flow nozzle is present in the lamp to direct air flow across at least a portion of the heat sink body. The lamp further comprises an active cooling device, in which the active cooling device is in fluid communication with the at least one air flow nozzle and is configured to provide a flow of air to the at least one air flow nozzle. The lamp further comprises driver electronics configured to provide power to each of the light source and the active cooling device, wherein the driver electronics are remote from the active cooling device.

  • MICROBIOTA RESTORATION THERAPY (MRT) COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE
    Publication number: 20180078586
    Abstract: Microbiota restoration therapy (MRT) compositions (e.g., oral MRT compositions) and methods for manufacturing MRT compositions are disclosed. An example method for manufacturing an MRT composition may include collecting a stool sample, purifying the stool sample to form a purified sample, stabilizing the purified sample to form a stabilized sample, converting the stabilized sample to a solid, adding one or more additives and/or excipients to the solid to form a treatment composition, and encapsulating the treatment composition.

  • MICROBIOTA RESTORATION THERAPY (MRT), COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE
    Publication number: 20180028578
    Abstract: Microbiota restoration therapy compositions and methods for manufacturing, processing, and/or delivering microbiota restoration therapy compositions are disclosed. An example method for manufacturing a microbiota restoration therapy composition may include collecting a human fecal sample and adding a diluent to the human fecal sample to form a diluted sample. The diluent may include a cryoprotectant. The method may also include mixing the diluted sample with a mixing apparatus and filtering the diluted sample. Filtering may form a filtrate. The method may also include transferring the filtrate to a sample bag and sealing the sample bag.
