Publication number: 20240132828Abstract: Some fluid coupling devices described herein are configured for use in fluid systems. For example, some embodiments described in this document are single-use, aseptic fluid coupling devices that can be coupled to create a sterile flow path therethrough. Some such aseptic couplings are genderless couplings such that two identical aseptic couplings can be coupled together and then latched to form a robust connection between the aseptic couplings.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2024Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Matthew Gregory Casura, Jonathan Steven Van Loon, Randall S.

Patent number: 11942235Abstract: A hybrid cable includes a central strength member, residing in a center of the cable. At least two insulated conductors are abutting the central strength member. One or more buffer tubes are included in the cable, each with at least one optical fiber. One or more filler rods are optionally included in the cable. A shielding layer and jacket surround the elements. In one embodiment, four large insulated conductors and two filler rods abut the central strength member. A first water-blocking tape surrounds the four large insulated conductors, filler rods and central strength member to form an inner core. A concentric core surrounds the central core. The concentric core includes two insulated conductors, plural buffer tubes and a second water-blocking tape surrounding the two insulated conductors and the plural buffer tubes. The shielding layer surrounds the concentric core, and the jacket surrounds the shielding layer. A toning signal carrying medium may also exist outside of the shielding layer.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: CommScope Technologies LLCInventor: Randall Stevens

Patent number: 11541854Abstract: An electronic parking brake control system and method for controlling a parking brake of a vehicle. The system includes an electronic parking brake variable switch configured to produce an application signal based on an amount or an amount of time the switch is pulled upward or pushed downward. The system also includes an indicator configured to indicate an amount of application of the parking brake based on the application signal. The system also includes an electronic brake unit coupled to the electronic parking brake variable switch. The electronic brake unit is configured to receive the application signal, and transmit a rear brake signal to a plurality of rear brake actuators to apply a plurality of rear brakes based on the application signal when a speed of the vehicle is below a threshold speed or the vehicle is in a low gear.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: TOYOTA MOTOR ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING NORTH AMERICA, INC.Inventors: Jeremy Daniel Bultman, Robert Allan Ditner, Randall Steven Badia

Publication number: 20210299072Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for treatment of pain, such as joint pain, using capsaicin in a procedure that attenuates transient burning sensation experienced by patients due to capsaicin administration. The methods desirably provide relief from joint pain, such as osteoarthritic knee joint pain, for an extended duration, such as at least about 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, or 1 year. To attenuate the adverse side effect of a transient burning sensation caused by capsaicin-induced neuronal excitation, the methods utilize a cooling article, such as a material wrap cooled via a circulating fluid, to reduce the temperature of tissue to be exposed to capsaicin to within a certain range for certain durations of time, optionally in combination with administering a local anesthetic agent, resulting in the substantial reduction or even elimination of transient burning sensation caused by capsaicin.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Inventors: James N. Campbell, Peter D. Hanson, Randall Stevens
