Patent number: 10935746Abstract: A method of conveying a fiber optic cable through a conduit having an inside diameter involves connecting an interior pig assembly to a far end of the fiber optic cable, the interior pig assembly having an outside diameter smaller than the conduit inside diameter, and inserting the interior pig assembly into the conduit. To convey the fiber optic cable through the conduit, the interior pig assembly may be magnetic, and an exterior assembly including a magnet outside the conduit may be used to pull the interior pig assembly pig through the conduit. In addition or alternatively, a gas may be injected into the conduit to push the pig assembly through the conduit.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2018Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Inventors: Michael Melnychuk, Nathan Frederick

Patent number: 10304997Abstract: A device includes a substrate (10) and a III-nitride structure (15) grown on the substrate, the III-nitride structure comprising a light emitting layer (16) disposed between an n-type region (14) and a p-type region (18). The substrate is a RA03 (MO)n where R is one of a trivalent cation: Sc, In, Y and a lanthanide; A is one of a trivalent cation: Fe (III), Ga and Al; M is one for a divalent cation: Mg, Mn, Fe (II), Co, Cu, Zn and Cd; and n is an integer?1. The substrate has an inplane lattice constant asubstrate. At lease one III-nitride layer in the III-nitride structure has a bulk lattice constant alayer such that [(|asubstrate?alayer|)/asubstrate]*100% is no more than 1%.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2011Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Lumileds LLCInventors: Michael Jason Grundmann, Nathan Frederick Gardner, Werner Karl Goetz, Melvin Barker McLaurin, John Edward Epler, Francisco Alexander Leon

Patent number: 9649552Abstract: Systems and methods for solving and generating a mathematical puzzle are presented. A puzzle may comprise areas comprising mystery number regions, pair clue regions interposing pairs of mystery value numbers, and a central clue region located centrally to the mystery number region. Solving a puzzle may comprise deterministic search methods coupled with heuristic approaches. Puzzle generation may comprise adding conforming clues until a puzzle has only one possible solution, the clues chosen based on heuristics for adding clues while minimizing incremental change in puzzle difficulty; or reducing the number of solutions/partial solutions to the puzzle.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2013Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: TMGCL IP HOLDINGS LIMITEDInventors: Shohreh Blank, Manoochehr Azmoodeh, Nathan Frederick Alamo-Pritchard
