Publication number: 20230304669Abstract: A space oven operates in microgravity environments by forcing convection towards the center through a unique heating element and airflow design. The space oven includes a tubular chamber, a heating rack, a heating system, a cooling system, a hatch, a user interface, a microcontroller, an enclosure, at least one first vent, at least one second vent and at least one temperature sensor. The tubular chamber is the cooking area. The heating rack holds consumables in place. The heating system heats up consumables. The cooling system prevents any overheating. The hatch closes off and allows access to the inside of the tubular chamber. The user interface allows a user to input commands. The microcontroller manages the electronic components. The enclosure protects the tubular chamber. The at least one first vent and the at least one second vent reduce pressure buildup. The at least one temperature sensor monitors the internal temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Applicant: NanoRacks, LLCInventors: Michael Desmond Lewis, Caleb Michael Daugherty

Patent number: 11600302Abstract: Systems and methods for autonomous rendering of synchronous media objects are disclosed. The system may obtain unsynchronized media objects from user devices and initialize a media object analysis procedure for each media object by collecting metadata associated with each media object and determine a plurality of labels for each media object based on the collected metadata. Further, the system may execute audio analysis for at least one audio track associated with each media object to determine an audio score. The system may then select a best audio track corresponding to each media object based on the audio scores and create a narrative sequence comprising of media object slots filled with media objects and corresponding best audio tracks for each media object. Furthermore, based on approval of the narrative sequence by a user device, the system may generate a synchronized media object preview for display on the user device.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Inventor: Stephen Michael Daugherty

Patent number: 10033174Abstract: An epoxy sealant confined around a transition seal body system for a down hole electric cable transition from a protected cable to separate conductors of a three-phase electrical service provides a vapor and pressure seal, preventing premature failure from temperature and pressure changes in the wellbore. The use of epoxy to completely surround the transition seal body within the penetrator mandrel permits field installation of continuous electrical conductors from a wellbore through a pressure sealing wellhead to the surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2012Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: Quick Connectors, Inc.Inventors: Tod D. Emerson, Leroy Cantu, Jerry L. Reeves, Michael Daugherty

Publication number: 20140110164Abstract: An epoxy sealant combined with a transition seal body system for a down hole electric cable transition from a protected cable to separate conductors of three-phase electrical service provides an effective vapor and pressure seal preventing premature failure from temperature and pressure changes in the well bore. The use of epoxy completely surrounding the transition seal body within the penetrator mandrel permits safe and effective field installation of continuous electrical conductors from a wellbore through a pressure sealing wellhead to the surface that is easier to install and more protective than previous mechanical connections.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2012Publication date: April 24, 2014Applicant: Quick Connectors, Inc.Inventors: Tod D.

Patent number: 8118192Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and products are disclosed for locating concealed objects by discharging the contents of an aerosol container. A housing encloses an inner volume, and a hollow conduit extends along the housing. An elongate rod slides within the conduit. An actuator of the aerosol container is engaged between a discharge position and a non-discharge position by movement of the elongate rod.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2008Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.

Patent number: 7800869Abstract: A circuit for voltage transient protection is provided. The circuit includes an input monitor circuit, an input transistor, and a voltage regulator. The input transistor is connected between the input voltage and the input voltage terminal of the voltage regulator. The input monitor circuit asserts an input monitor circuit output signal if the input voltage reaches a pre-determined level. When the input monitor circuit output signal is asserted, and gate and source of the input transistor are shorted together (to disconnect the input of the voltage regulator from the input voltage), and the voltage regulator is disabled.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2007Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: National Semiconductor CorporationInventor: Kevin Michael Daugherty

Patent number: 7660090Abstract: A circuit for voltage transient protection is provided. The circuit includes a voltage divider, a low-voltage reset circuit, and an input transistor. The input transistor receives an input voltage at the source of the input transistor, and provides a protected input voltage at the drain of the input transistor. The voltage divider provides a threshold voltage from the input voltage. The low-voltage reset circuit receives the threshold voltage. The low-voltage reset circuit causes the gate and source of the input transistor to short together when the low-voltage reset circuit is not in a reset state.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2007Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: National Semiconductor CorporationInventor: Kevin Michael Daugherty
