Publication number: 20230212857Abstract: A louver roof system having a simplified assembly and installation methods. The louver roof system is constructed with multi-functional mechanical components by means of pre-molded parts to reduce skilled installation time. Louvers of the roof system each include a louver body defining an integrally formed channel configured to direct water internally from the louver body, through the integrally formed channel of the respective louver, within a frame, and out of the louver roof system when the louvers are in a closed position. The louver body of each of the louvers includes a top surface with an uppermost portion of the top surface that defines, when in the closed position, a non-perpendicular angle relative to the vertical direction such that water is directed to the integrally formed channel of the respective louver Thus, a water drainage path is an integral part of the main structural assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventor: Lisa Fitzgerald

Publication number: 20210308407Abstract: An ultraviolet-C respirator mask that filters and destroys viruses by means of a HEPA type filter and a plurality of UVC LEDs projected on the filter. The filter element is worn on the garment of the user by means of an integral apparel clip and connected to the face mask through a breathing hose. This configuration allows easy replacement of the HEPA filter element and/or the facemask for considerations of hygiene. Filter element life is increased due to location further from contaminated field. Hygiene for the user is improved due to the collecting media being further from the user's face.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2020Publication date: October 7, 2021Inventor: Lisa Fitzgerald

Publication number: 20210120783Abstract: A two-handed retractable dog leash that provides two gripping handles integrated into a retractable leash. This eliminates problems handling large, strong and aggressive dogs by using the strength of both of the user's arms. The length of the handle allows enhanced control of the lease position to avoid becoming wrapped, by the dog, with the leash.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2020Publication date: April 29, 2021Inventors: James Bowden, Lisa Fitzgerald

Patent number: 9663194Abstract: A device having: a chamber having a gas inlet, a gas vent, and a liquid vent; and a float and a weight coupled to the chamber. The float has a lower density than the chamber. The weight has a higher density than the chamber. The aggregate density of the chamber, the float, and the weight is greater than the density of the chamber. The gas inlet, the gas vent, the liquid vent, the float, and the weight are positioned on the chamber such that: when the chamber is filled with and submerged in a liquid in which the chamber is neutrally-buoyant, the chamber is oriented to place the gas vent below the gas inlet; and when a gas is introduced through the gas inlet into the chamber that is filled with the liquid, the chamber pivots to raise the gas vent until a portion of the gas escapes from the chamber through only the gas vent.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2010Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Bradley R Ringeisen, Peter K Wu, Barry J Spargo, Justin C Biffinger, Lisa A.

Publication number: 20160115440Abstract: Microwave radiation was found to increase bacterial growth and cell size compared to conventional heating over a 30 hour time period. One method of growing thermophilic organisms involves heating a growth media comprising a thermophilic organism with microwave radiation to a temperature between 50° C. and 75° C.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2015Publication date: April 28, 2016Inventors: Justin C. Biffinger, Lisa A. Fitzgerald, Miah J. Davis, Allison L. Cockrell, Kathleen D. Cusick

Publication number: 20160081845Abstract: Disclosed is a nasal modulator that reduces or eliminates snoring. The disclosed nasal modulator is placed in the nasal passages and modulates air in an approximate frequency range of snoring. This modulation of inhaled air disrupts the vibration of respiratory structures by being out of phase with the normal resonance of these structures. The resonant air pressure wave is also out of phase with the inhaled modulated air. This cancellation of pressure waves and vibration of structures inhibits the loud auditory result associated with snoring.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2015Publication date: March 24, 2016Inventor: Lisa Fitzgerald

Patent number: 9279579Abstract: A vacuum cleaner inlet door lighting device for illuminating the area directly in front of a vacuum cleaner wall mounted inlet. The lighting device includes LED's operated upon the opening of a rotatable door have a directional pattern for optimum illumination. The LED's are mounted behind the rotatable door to cause illumination when the rotatable door is open. In an alternative embodiment the LED's are remotely mounted using fiber optic cabling for direction of the light when the rotatable door is opened. When the rotatable door opens the area in front of the wall mounted inlet is illuminated so that the dirt and debris can be seen while being pushed into the collection container. When the rotatable door is closed, the illumination is turned off.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2014Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: IVD Global CorporationInventors: Peter Schlapkohl, Lisa Fitzgerald
