Patent number: 11873984Abstract: An apparatus comprising a first light source, a second light source, a controller and a power source. The first light source may activate color channels of a reactive material in response to a signal. The second light source may deactivate a subset of the color channels of the reactive material in response to the signal. The controller may receive an input, determine characteristics for the light sources in response to the input and generate the signal in response to the first characteristics and the second characteristics. The power source may provide power for the light sources and the controller. The reactive material may change appearance in response to the subset of the color channels deactivated. The power source and the controller may be contained in a housing of the apparatus. The light sources may enable the apparatus to emit light onto an object comprising the reactive material.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2023Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: HUT ENTERPRISES LLCInventor: John Paul Gleason

Patent number: 9614332Abstract: The present invention relates to a buckle system including a male subassembly and female subassembly that are designed to mate with one another. The male subassembly also includes a printed circuit board (PCB) that may mate with an electrical connector within the female subassembly, thus completing a circuit for providing power to an electronic device when the subassemblies are mated. The male subassembly is connected to a cable portion that, when pulled with sufficient force, causes the male subassembly and its PCB to disengage the female subassembly and its electrical connector. The PCB and electrical connector may also be connected within standard side-release male and female subassemblies, respectively, for use in standard side-release buckles.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2015Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: MYSTERY RANCH, LTD.Inventors: Jim Curtin, Paul Gleason

Publication number: 20160015369Abstract: Disclosed is a disposable patient interface for an intraductal fluid aspiration system. The interface has a flexible tubular distal member for contacting the patient, and a proximal support portion forming a vacuum chamber therein. The support portion has a vacuum aperture for communication with a source of vacuum, and a retention structure for releasably mounting within a hand piece of an intraductal fluid aspiration system. The flexible member preferably has a low modulus of elasticity and a high tear strength, such that it can be stretched to fit over a rigid support without rupture.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2015Publication date: January 21, 2016Inventors: Kevin B. MORTON, Rex O. BARE, Jeffrey C. SMITH, Timothy J. PAYNE, Paul GLEASON

Patent number: 7575557Abstract: Disclosed is a disposable closed fluid loop for providing heat and compression to an intraductal fluid aspiration device. A plurality of bladders are configured to receive a pressurized inflation fluid, and to inflate in response thereto. The fluid is further configured to flow adjacent a heat exchanger, thereby receiving thermal energy, which it imparts to the bladders through conduction. Accordingly, the disclosed fluid loop provides heated inflation media to inflate a plurality of bladders to provide heat and compression to an intraductal fluid aspiration patient.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2002Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: Neo Matrix, LLCInventors: Kevin B.
