Publication number: 20250146336Abstract: A locking mechanism for a slide out tray system may have a cam that is connected to a lock rod. A lock bar lever may be rotatable about an offset portion, such that when the cam is rotated, the end of the lock bar lever in contact with the cam is pushed upwards, thus pushing the opposite end of the lock bar lever downwards to push the locking plate down, allowing the slide out tray system to slide into a closed position. A bushing lock may interact with lock rod flanges. The lock rod flanges roll over and are supported by a bushing. When the bushing meets a space between the lock rod flanges, the lock rod may automatically rotate such that the flange contacts an edge of the bushing lock, thus preventing the lock rod and tray system from extending any further.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2024Publication date: May 8, 2025Applicant: Adrian Steel CompanyInventors: Alexander James Mohn, Michael Joseph Evans, Peter Francis Rowlson, Joshua Merle Rogers

Publication number: 20240285885Abstract: This disclosure provides an oxygen delivery and reclamation system that supplies breathable oxygen-enriched gas to one or more users in a chamber. The one or more users receive oxygen at specified oxygen level setpoints. Exhalation air from the one or more users may be purged from the breathing loop using one or both of a recycle pump and an electronically actuated valve. Exhalation air in a purge line and optionally chamber air pulled from the chamber may be recycled using an oxygen concentrator. The oxygen concentrator generates oxygen-enriched gas and oxygen-depleted gas, where the oxygen-enriched gas may be delivered back to one or more users in the chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2022Publication date: August 29, 2024Inventors: Patrick Dee Pasadilla, Peter Francis Readey, Robert Jacobi, Samuel Zachary Lynn, Judith Lattimer

Publication number: 20230276030Abstract: A novel projection system includes a light source, a phase modulator, an amplitude modulator, and a controller having temporal lightfield simulation capabilities. The phase modulator spatially modulates a lightfield from the light source to generate an intermediate image on the amplitude modulator. The amplitude modulator spatially modulates the intermediate image to form a final image. The controller models the phase state of the phase modulator during transitions between phase modulator frames and generates lightfield simulations of the intermediate image during the transition. The controller utilizes the lightfield simulations to generate and provide sets of amplitude drive values to the amplitude modulator at a faster rate than that at which the phase modulator is capable of switching.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Applicant: DOLBY LABORATORIES LICENSING CORPORATIONInventors: Trevor Davies, Martin J.
