Patent number: 11937925Abstract: Independent component analysis may be performed on a plurality of detected electronic signals to separate signals within the detected electronic signals that are contributed by different sources. Each of the plurality of detected electronic signals may be received from a separate detector and may correspond to a detected optical signal emanating from a pregnant mammal's abdomen and a fetus contained therein. The detected optical signals may correspond to light that is projected into the pregnant mammal's abdomen from a light source. The separated signals may be analyzed to determine a separated signal that corresponds to light incident upon the fetus, which may be analyzed to determine a fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level of the fetus. An indication of the fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level may then be provided to the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Raydiant Oximetry, Inc.Inventors: Neil Padharia Ray, Mark Andrew Rosen, Adam Jacobs, Kenneth Holt

Patent number: 11328245Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a computer implemented method for transporting a good. The method may comprise receiving, on a first client device, an electronic user request for transporting the good from a pickup location to a destination location. The electronic user request may include a unique identifier corresponding to the good. The method may include assigning the electronic user request to a transport provider. The method may include authenticating the good, rejecting the good, and authorizing the good for transport when the good is authenticated. The transport provider may capture an image of the good. Authenticating the good may include scanning the captured image to identify features, comparing the unique identifiers to the identified features, and authenticating the good when the unique identifier matches the identified features. The good may be rejected if there is not a match between the unique identifier and the identified goods.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2021Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: AIRSPACE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Ryan Rusnak, Neil Holt, Alex Cunanan Panganiban

Patent number: 7905454Abstract: A tube support bracket that comprises an aluminum-coated steel support bracket formed having a circular tube-receiving aperture and an annular, castellated collar abutting the aperture. The aperture and collar are sized for receiving therethrough in close-fitting relationship an aluminum alloy heat exchanger tube. The collar, formed by a draw-punching process, has a plurality of spaced-apart, axial tabs sized for swaging against in hoop stress and bite the received tube. An inner surface of each of the collar tabs being has at least one axial groove therein, the groove being configured for receiving exterior regions of the received tube when the collar is swaged tightly against the tube to thereby lock the tube in the collar and thus in the support bracket. A corresponding method for making a tube support is disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2003Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Thermal Dynamics CorporationInventors: Homayoun Sanatgar, Behnam Akbarian, Gary Johnson, Neil Holt, Don Smith

Publication number: 20080096786Abstract: The invention provides an aqueous shampoo composition comprising, in admixture: (i) a first anionic surfactant in which the ratio between the molecular weights of the polar (hydrophilic) and non-polar (hydrophobic) parts of the molecule is less than 1.5; (ii) a second anionic surfactant in which the ratio between the molecular weights of the polar (hydrophilic) and non-polar (hydrophobic) parts of the molecule is greater than 1.5, and (iii) a cationic polymer having a molecular weight of at least 100,000 Dalton and a cationic charge density of at least 0.5 meq/g; in which the weight ratio of (i):(ii) ranges from 3:1 to 1:3. Shampoo compositions according to the invention demonstrate reduced extensional viscosity (i.e. are less “stringy”). They also provide for the delivery of a significantly increased level of conditioning without any significant increase in product stringiness.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2005Publication date: April 24, 2008Inventors: Neil Holt, Neil Shaw

Publication number: 20060207753Abstract: An intank oil cooler assembly comprises a plurality of manifold end connected, vertically stacked, elongated tubular panel subassemblies, containing structurally enhancing header manifold connector end post with external circular wide flanges, manifold intermediate spacer disc washers, and a base plate subassembly placed in a supporting bottom base position. Each thin-walled, tubular panel subassembly has header manifold inlet and outlet end sections, an internal central longitudinal flow channel region designed for conducting internal fluid flow, and also, has a turbulizer subassembly installed therein for causing internal fluid turbulization to optimize heat transfer. Each tubular panel subassembly is fabricated by laminating together paired, thin-walled plate elements having sidewalls embossed with dimpled exterior surface projections on their outer convex surface and axially corresponding reverse side dimpled depressions on their inner concave surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2005Publication date: September 21, 2006Inventors: Homayoun Sanatgar, Lloyd Segna, Gary Johnson, Neil Holt

Publication number: 20060081362Abstract: An apparatus and method for fabricating an externally finned tubular heat exchanger assembly comprising two concentric thin walled tubular members defining therebetween an intermediate inner annular fluid flow channel, and positionally fixed therewithin an internal turbulizer strip extending longitudinally in a helical spiral. The tubulizer strip is embossed with corrugations prior to installation into the intermediate inner annular fluid flow channel. The corrugated strip is helically spiraled with sequential bridge gap spaces between adjacent serial turns wherein the corrugations form a series of triangular cross-sectional fluid flow passageways. Turbulizer corrugation expansion, after insertion into the inner intermediate annular fluid flow channel, mechanically anchors the corrugated turbulizer strip to the second inner concentric tubular member that has an end groove to provide engagement connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2004Publication date: April 20, 2006Inventors: Homayoun Sanatgar, Gary Johnson, Neil Holt, Don Smith

Patent number: 7013962Abstract: A fluid cooler assembly comprises a vertically stacked first type and second different type of tubular panel subassembly construction integrated with a third subassembly of external corrugated fin construction positioned above and below each tubular panel subassembly. The first type tubular panel subassembly has an internal central flow region configured with a bilateral linear flow channeled subregion adapted for controlling the hydraulic behavior of the internal tubular coolant fluid flow. The second tubular panel subassembly has an internal tubular central flow channel region configured with a bilateral cross-flow channel region adapted for optimizing heat transfer.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2004Date of Patent: March 21, 2006Inventors: Homayoun Sanatgar, Gary F. Johnson, Neil Holt

Patent number: 6378203Abstract: An aluminum alloy fluid heat exchanger comprises first and second elongate, generally flat, aluminum alloy fluid heat exchanger tubes, each having an upper and a lower surface and having a fluid port inlet and a fluid port outlet. The first tube has a series of small protrusions formed at its lower surface and the second tube has a matching series of protrusions formed at its upper surface, the first tube being stacked on top of the second tube with the protrusions on the first tube in contact with the protrusions on the second tube. A thin sheet of a dissimilar metal, preferably cold rolled steel having a thickness of about 0.3 millimeters is installed between the protrusions on the first and second tubes. The protrusions provide a spacing of at least about 0.42 millimeters between major portions of the first and second heat exchanger tubes. A corresponding method of constructing an aluminum alloy heat exchanger is described.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2000Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Thermal Dynamics CorporationInventors: James W.
