Patent number: 11938088Abstract: The stress reducing sleep mask uses a construction of layered lightweight fabrics that, when combined through the manufacturing process, effectively block light, enhance air flow, and improve comfort. The unique combination of materials and molded construction (forming) allows the mask to conform as needed around specific facial anatomical landmarks, reducing gaps that allow light filtration. This device includes a refined headband adjustment, which eliminates the need for uncomfortable buckles, or applications that create other forms of discomfort due to sleeping position or hair entanglements. An integrated acupressure device, which has been shown in clinical studies to induce calm and relaxation, helps users to fall asleep more easily. The pressure of the device can be controlled through adjustment of the headband.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Inventors: Paul Mitchell Juris, Lisa Reynolds Juris

Patent number: 11933694Abstract: An instrumented wind tunnel. The wind tunnel receives a test subject which can be a model of an object to be tested with dynamic airflow. The test subject is fitted with at least one sensor to deliver data to a chassis, which in turn uses a network having at least 10 Gb/s capability to deliver the data to a RAM cache. The RAM cache can push the data to multiple viewers for real time monitoring of wind tunnel tests. The operator can then make live adjustments of the test conditions.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Paul Smith, Tina Reynolds

Publication number: 20230260737Abstract: Current state-of-the art ion sources do not meet multiple application needs for pulsed ion beams because current designs limit obtaining the needed peak currents, anode current densities, total currents, time averaged currents and lifetime in the same structure. High surface energy, power loading, material erosion and stresses damage surfaces. Our concepts for a ‘cold’ anode structure and ion source will reduce these erosion and damage issues. By extending lifetime and performance characteristics multiple applications can be enabled with lower maintenance and cost. The concepts here reduce the surface aging and provide the high performance (peak current, high current density and long lifetime required.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Mark Derzon, Paul Reynolds
