Publication number: 20240110847Abstract: A method of testing a part includes placing a first member on a part to be tested. A second member is placed on an opposed surface of the part. One of the members has an ultrasonic transmitter and the other has an ultrasonic receiver. At least one of the members has at least one magnetic element and the other has at least one of a magnetic element or a ferromagnetic metallic element which is attracted to magnets. One of the members moves along the surface of the part such that magnetic attraction causes the other to move along the opposed surface of the part with the one of the members. A controller causes an ultrasonic signal to be sent from the transmitter through the part to be tested which is received by the receiver and then analyzed by an ultrasonic testing machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Douglas McNeil, Jeffrey J. Allen, Joyel Schaefer, Mark R. Gurvich, Michael J. King, Brayton Reed

Publication number: 20210030930Abstract: Embodiments of a negative pressure wound therapy systems and methods for operating the systems are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system includes a pump assembly, canister, and a wound dressing configured to be positioned over a wound. The pump assembly, canister, and the wound dressing can be fluidically connected to facilitate delivery of negative pressure to a wound. The pump assembly can present graphical user interface screens for controlling and monitoring delivery of negative pressure. The system can be configured to efficiently deliver negative pressure and to detect and indicate presence of certain conditions, such as low pressure, high pressure, leak, canister full, and the like. Monitoring and detection of operating condition can be performed by measuring one or more operational parameters, such as pressure, flow rate, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2020Publication date: February 4, 2021Inventors: Edward Armstrong, Carrie Lee Childress, Alex Fowler, William W.

Patent number: 10869563Abstract: A product displaying holder system is configured to be removably coupled to a surface of a component. The product displaying holder system includes a retaining bracket having a longitudinal main beam and one or more securing mounts. Holder channels are formed through the longitudinal main beam. One or more product holders are removably coupled to the retaining bracket. Each product holder includes a bracket-mating stud that is retained within one of holder channels. The holder channels allow the product holder(s) to be selectively positioned at different locations along the main beam. One or more securing assemblies are coupled to the securing mount(s). The securing assemblies are configured to securely couple the product displaying holder system to the surface of the component. In at least one embodiment, the securing mount(s) are perpendicular to the main beam.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2019Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: iSee Store Innovations, L.L.C.Inventors: Steven Allen Brenner, Mark Schaefer, Sesha Madireddi, Rushil Eaga
