Publication number: 20200308905Abstract: A base structure and associated method for converting the base structure into an operable vane on a shade for an architectural opening. The base structure includes a back sheet and a front sheet attached together in engagement regions spaced along the length of the back sheet and front sheet. The front sheet is separated into front strip sections having a free end. Operating elements are positioned along the back sheet and situated so as to move relative thereto. The operating elements are attached adjacent to a free end of the front strip. Movement of the operating elements actuates the free end of the front strip to move from a closed position to an open position as desired by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2020Publication date: October 1, 2020Applicant: Hunter Douglas, Inc.Inventors: Ronald Holt, Marcus Long, Kelly Q.

Patent number: 10641040Abstract: A covering for an architectural covering is provided. The covering may include a rotatable outer tube, a rotatable inner tube, a shade attached to the outer tube, and an operating element secured to the inner tube. The outer tube may define an elongated slot extending along a length of the outer tube and opening to an interior of the outer tube. The inner tube may be received within the outer tube. The shade may be retractable to and extendable from the outer tube. The operating element may extend through the elongated slot and may be retractable onto and extendable from the inner tube. The inner tube may rotate relative the outer tube to open and close the shade once the support sheet is in a fully extended position.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: HUNTER DOUGLAS INC.Inventors: Ronald Holt, Marcus Long, Stephen T.

Patent number: 9765019Abstract: Certain aspects of the invention relate to compounds, compositions and methods that are useful for treating or preventing a disease in a subject by enhancing the degradation of a protein. In other aspects, said compounds can be useful research tools for investigating protein degradation. In other aspects, said compounds are useful research tools for investigating protein function. In certain embodiments, the degraded protein is implicated in a disease or disorder whose pathology is related at least in part to the excessive expression of the protein or the expression of a mutant form of the protein.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2011Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Brandeis UniversityInventors: Lizbeth K.
