Publication number: 20240090178Abstract: A cooling assembly includes an evaporator containing a primary cooling medium, a passive condenser, and a heat exchanger. When a secondary cooling medium is provided to the heat exchanger, the primary cooling medium in the gas phase switches from being received by the passive condenser to the heat exchanger without operating any valves located between the evaporator and the passive condenser and between the evaporator and the heat exchanger. The primary cooling medium circulates between the evaporator and the passive condenser and between the evaporator and the heat exchanger by natural circulation and gravity without a pump in the flow path of the primary cooling medium between the heat exchanger and the evaporator and between the passive condenser and the evaporator to circulate the primary cooling medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Michael Boucher, Rafael Neuwald, Bryan Keith Dunnavant, John Roberts, Paul A. Dinnage, Wei Fang

Publication number: 20200054558Abstract: An aerosol preparation assembly includes an entrainment chamber defining an entrainment volume. The entrainment chamber includes a gas inlet port, an aerosol inlet port and an outlet port. The entrainment chamber is configured such that a velocity of a flow of a gas within the entrainment volume is less than a velocity of the flow of the gas within the gas inlet port. The entrainment chamber is configured such that at least a portion of inlet aerosol is entrained into the flow of the gas within the entrainment volume to produce an entrained aerosol flow at the outlet port. The particle selection chamber is configured to receive the entrained aerosol flow and produce an outlet aerosol flow. The particle selection chamber and nozzle are collectively configured such that a volumetric median diameter of the outlet aerosol flow is less than a volumetric median diameter of the inlet aerosol.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2019Publication date: February 20, 2020Applicant: PARION SCIENCES, INC.Inventors: Paul BOUCHER, Richard BOUCHER, Brian M.

Publication number: 20140158127Abstract: An apparatus can include a nasal cannula assembly, which includes a face piece. The face piece includes a plenum portion and a nasal interface portion. The plenum portion is configured to be coupled to a supply line and defines a flow path configured to receive an aerosol flow from the supply line. The nasal interface portion includes a first delivery protrusion and a second delivery protrusion. The first delivery protrusion is configured to convey a first portion of the aerosol flow to a first nostril, and the second delivery protrusion is configured to deliver a second portion of the aerosol flow to a second nostril. The plenum portion includes a sidewall having a curved surface configured to redirect the second portion of the aerosol flow towards the second delivery protrusion. The sidewall is configured to isolate the flow path from a volume downstream from the second delivery protrusion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2013Publication date: June 12, 2014Applicant: PARION SCIENCES, INC.Inventors: Paul BOUCHER, Brian M.

Publication number: 20060233948Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making a gasketed fuel cell membrane electrode assembly by simultaneously binding together the parts of the MEA, impregnating uncured elastomeric gasket material into the outer edge portions of each fluid transport layer, and substantially curing the uncured elastomeric gasket material so as to form anode-side and cathode-side gaskets. In order to form a raised-ridge microstructured contact pattern on the contact face of each gasket, patterning plates bearing a negative relief of a raised-ridge microstructured contact pattern may be positioned between the press platens and the uncured elastomeric gasket material.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2006Publication date: October 19, 2006Inventors: David Wald, Jimmy Le, Michael Yandrasits, Paul Boucher

Patent number: 6980834Abstract: A data communication terminal, such as a cellular telephone, capable of synthesizing speech. The data communication terminal can establish a communication session with a base station over a transmission facility implementing a voice channel and a data channel. The data communication terminal includes a speech synthesizer engine that receives from the remote entity a signal transmitted over the data channel and that conveys the vocal tract characteristics of the message to be delivered as a spoken announcement. The base station generates the signal containing the vocal tract characteristics from a text-based signal of the message to be synthesized. The invention also extends to a base station that can convert the text based message to be synthesized into a signal containing vocal tract characteristics and that sends the signal to a remote terminal over the data channel.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2002Date of Patent: December 27, 2005Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Vishwa N.
