Patent number: 11079316Abstract: A laser spectrometer can be operated for analysis of one or more analytes present in a combustible gas mixture. The spectrometer can include one or more features that enable intrinsically safe operation. In other words, electrical, electronic, thermal, and/or optical energy sources can be limited within an hazardous are of the spectrometer where it is possible for an explosive gas mixture to exist. Methods, systems, articles and the like are described.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2016Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: SpectraSensors, Inc.Inventors: Keith Benjamin Helbley, Juergen Dessecker, Harald Mueller, Nikolai Fink, William Boyle, Peter Dorn, Paulo Silva

Patent number: 10156513Abstract: A sample cell can be designed to minimize excess gas volume. Described features can be advantageous in reducing an amount of gas required to flow through the sample cell during spectroscopic measurements, and in reducing a time (e.g. a total volume of gas) required to flush the cell between sampling events. In some examples, contours of the inners surfaces of the sample cell that contact the contained gas can be shaped, dimensioned, etc. such that a maximum clearance distance is provided between the inner surfaces at one or more locations. Systems, methods, and articles, etc. are described.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2015Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: SpectraSensors, Inc.Inventors: Peter Scott, Alfred Feitisch, Peter Dorn, Adam S.

Patent number: 8671806Abstract: This invention is a new beginning for AN wrench users. No more uncomfortably thin AN or Bonney wrenches are needed. This wrench/tool system with separate, ergonomic handle is loaded with features designed for comfort. The separate handle is specifically designed with contoured finger grips, and gently radiused back edge resting against the palm of the user's hand. These are features that will provide the user all-day comfort. In addition, with the common blade of the wrench/tool ends, fitting the matching receiving groove of the handles, wrench/tool ends and handles of differing styles can be added, and upgraded to build a set of wrench/tool ends and handles to meet every need.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2012Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Inventor: Peter Dorn Lindblom

Patent number: 8118674Abstract: A gaming machine including a controller coupled to a 3D display that displays true 3D or virtual 3D imagery associated with a basic or a bonus wagering game. 3D displays can display true 3D imagery or virtual 3D imagery that is displayed in 2D but perceived by the viewer to be 3D. True 3D displays include a volumetric 3D display, a multi-layer display, and a holographic display. Virtual or stereoscopic displays include a lenticular display employing cylindrical or spherical lenslets, a parallax illumination display employing light lines to create a parallax effect, or non-autostereoscopic displays requiring a special viewing aid to complete the 3D effect.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2003Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: WMS Gaming Inc.Inventors: Gilbert J. Q. Burak, Peter Dorn, Jacob C. Greenberg, Francisco J. Paz

Publication number: 20090124395Abstract: A gaming apparatus having a cabinet cooperatively coupled to an LCD mounting system. The LCD mounting system is carried within and mounts to an interior surface of the cabinet. The LCD mounting system is pivotable relative to and independent from the cabinet and a door mounted thereto. In this way, when the door is in an open position, a video display supported by the LCD mounting system may pivot away from the cabinet to allow access to an interior space and the components within the cabinet. Alternatively, when the door is in an open position, the video display supported by the LCD mounting system may be positioned for easy viewing and interaction while still allowing access to the interior space and the components within the cabinet.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2008Publication date: May 14, 2009Inventors: Dugan S. O'Keene, Peter Dorn, Scott M. Irving, John J. Beirne

Publication number: 20080203863Abstract: A gaming support base includes a support cabinet configured to support a gaming apparatus. The support cabinet having a back panel, a first side panel coupled substantially perpendicular to the back panel, and a second side panel coupled substantially perpendicular to the back panel and positioned away from the first side panel. The support base further including a cabinet deck configured to cooperate with the support cabinet to define a cavity. The support base may further include an interface plate configured to cooperate with gaming apparatus. The support base may further include a light source.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2007Publication date: August 28, 2008Inventors: John J. Beirne, James T. O'Keefe, Peter Dorn, Vito M.

Publication number: 20050261057Abstract: A gaming machine for conducting a wagering game includes a game display and at least one illumination device. The game display is for displaying the wagering game and the illumination device is for presenting artistic elements such as marquee lettering and candle lighting. One aspect of the illumination device is a formed material with at least one LED embedded within. The formed material contains light dispersion particles and is of a nature that allows the light from the embedded LEDs to emit from the surface in an effectively uniform manner. In a different embodiment, an illumination device, comprised of a colored light source, associated electronic components that are enclosed within the gaming machine's housing, and a transparent object, directs light from the light source through the structure of the transparent object positioned over the source, and displays the color and intended intensity of the light on an altered surface on the transparent object.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2005Publication date: November 24, 2005Inventors: Charles Bleich, Stephen Canterbury, Bradley Cornell, Peter Dorn, Scott Irving, Thomas Kopera
