Patent number: 10281250Abstract: A broadhead containing independent pivotable and retractable cutting blades configured for selective locking in a non-deployed and deployed position. The broadhead further contains a non-rotating blade configured for reciprocating movement in order to selectively lock the pivoting blades in their non-deployed and deployed positions. Impact of the broadhead with a target will cause the pivoting blades to transition from the non-deployed position to the deployed position and thereby create a larger cutting diameter.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Barnett Outdoors, LLCInventors: Mark Beck, Dale Perry

Patent number: 10192648Abstract: The invention relates to systems, apparatus and methods for the removal of cesium and other radionuclides from liquid waste contained in a high level waste tank. The invention includes transporting a stream of the liquid waste from the high level waste tank to one or more ion-exchange column assemblies to remove the cesium therefrom using a sorbent, such as, crystalline silico-titanate. The ion-exchange column assemblies include an ion-exchange column and an integrated shield. The column is concentrically positioned within the shield and an air gap is present between the column and the shield to provide passive cooling.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2016Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: Westinghouse Electric Company LLCInventors: Mark A.

Publication number: 20170154306Abstract: A database includes one or more physical location identifiers such as postal addresses, delivery or street addresses, or geographic coordinates. A correlator correlates electronic addresses with physical location identifiers. The correlated electronic addresses can incorporate part or all of the corresponding physical location identifier. The correlated electronic addresses can further incorporate a reference to an individual, such as a name or title, or a reference to a group of individuals, such as by name. Correlated electronic addresses allow reception of electronic communication. Services offered with electronic delivery of correspondence to correlated electronic addresses include return receipt, insured delivery, certified delivery, forwarding, non-delivery notification, and non-electronic delivery. Costs associated with operation of the electronic mail may be covered by administration of postage or when the recipient elects electronic delivery of correspondence traditionally delivered by paper mail.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2017Publication date: June 1, 2017Inventor: Mark Beck

Publication number: 20080030700Abstract: Apparatus and method for transferring a pattern from a template (10) having a structured surface to a substrate (12) carrying a surface layer of a radiation polymerisable fluid (14). The apparatus comprises a first main part (101) and a second main part (102) having opposing surfaces (104;105), means for adjusting a spacing (115) between said main parts, support means (106) for supporting said template and substrate in mutual parallel engagement in said spacing with said structured surface facing said surface layer, a radiation source (110) devised to emit radiation into said spacing. A cavity (115) has a first wall comprising a flexible membrane (113) devised to engage said template or substrate, and means (114;116) are provided for applying an adjustable overpressure to a medium present in said cavity, whereby an even distribution of force is obtained over the whole of the contact surface between the substrate and the template.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2007Publication date: February 7, 2008Inventors: Babak Heidari, Mark Beck

Publication number: 20060061225Abstract: An apparatus and method for characterizing cavitation that occurs in a fluid exposed to acoustic energy. The apparatus comprises a vessel for holding the fluid; an acoustic energy generating means for generating acoustic energy, the acoustic energy generating means being positioned to transmit the acoustic energy into the fluid while the fluid is held in the vessel; and a cavitation detection means for detecting cavitation in the fluid held in the vessel. In a preferred embodiment, the cavitation detection means comprises a light detection means, such as a photomultiplier tube, that detects sonoluminescent emission from the fluid. The method comprises the steps of exposing a volume of process fluid to acoustic energy at a specified power level; measuring the photon output from the fluid over a period of time; and when the photon output deviates from a desired level, initiating a remedial step to bring the photon output back to approximately the desired level.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2005Publication date: March 23, 2006Inventors: Mark Beck, Raymond Lillard, Eric Liebscher, Frank Haidinyak

Publication number: 20060006766Abstract: A transducer comprising an acoustic energy generating means and a resonator. The acoustic energy generating means generates acoustic energy and is adapted for delivering an approximately uniform amount of acoustic energy to each unit of surface area on a substrate in a given time period when the substrate is rotating. The acoustic energy generating means has a surface area that is less than the surface area of the substrate, and may comprise two or more piezoelectric crystal segments that are separately controllable with respect to power and/or time. When assembled, the two more piezoelectric crystal segments give the acoustic energy generating means a rectangular shape, a wedge shape or a triangle shape. The resonator is attached to the acoustic energy generating means for transmitting the acoustic energy to the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2005Publication date: January 12, 2006Applicant: Product Systems IncorporatedInventors: Mark Beck, Richard Vennerbeck, Raymond Lillard, Eric Liebscher
