Patent number: 9110363Abstract: Polarization preserving projection screens provide optimum polarization preservation for 3D viewing. The projection screens additionally provide improved light control for enhanced brightness, uniformity, and contrast for both 2D and 3D systems. Generally, the disclosed method for providing a projection screen comprises stripping an optically functional material from a carrier substrate, thus creating engineered particles from the optically functional material. The engineered particles may then be deposited on a second substrate to create a substantially homogeneous optical appearance of the projection screen.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2013Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: RealD Inc.Inventors: Joel Petersen, Christopher Rich, Raymond Jacob Lewandowski, Gary D.

Publication number: 20100087752Abstract: A system for monitoring urinary system operation comprises a sensor for detecting a level of one or more compounds in tissues of a subject's bladder. A processor identifies a pattern in a time variation of the level detected by the sensor. The processor generates an indicator of bladder function based at least in part on the identified pattern. In some embodiments the processor generates a possible diagnosis based upon the identified pattern and one or more pieces of additional information. The additional information may comprise one or more of: a residual amount of urine after urination; a maximum uroflow rate; and, a delay in onset of urination.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2008Publication date: April 8, 2010Inventors: Luya Li, Raymond Jacob Becker, Matthew Peter Walls

Publication number: 20080000158Abstract: A sliding door assembly for enclosing a space, such as a shower or a bath, includes an overhead track and a sliding door moveably interacting with the overhead track. The sliding door includes a panel and a support apparatus for supporting the panel. The support apparatus includes a rail extending generally vertically and connected to the panel, a bracket extending upwardly from and partially adjacent to the rail for moveably interacting with the overhead track, and a boss extending from the rail and engaging the bracket. The bracket defines a notch and the boss extends from the rail into the notch and vertically engages the bracket in the notch for vertically supporting the rail on the bracket. The boss and the bracket establish a fastener-free support to support the weight of the panel and the rail.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2006Publication date: January 3, 2008Inventors: Vincent Orlando Ranelli, Gregory Raymond Jacobs

Publication number: 20040087098Abstract: An improved process for fabricating simultaneously high capacitance, less than 0.13 micron metal-insulator-metal capacitors, metal resistors and metal interconnects, has been developed using single or dual damascene processing. The key advantage is the use of only one additional mask reticle to form both MIM capacitor and resistor, simultaneously. Several current obstacles that exist in BEOL, back end of line, are overcome, namely: (a) the use of two or more photo-masks to make <0.13 um MIM capacitors, (b) undulated copper surfaces, when dielectrics are deposited directly upon it, (c) particles generation concerns during etching, when attempting an etch stop on the bottom MIM plate layers, and finally, (d) dishing during CMP occurs when large copper MIM plates are required, with subsequent capacitance matching problems. The integrated method overcomes the above obstacles and simultaneously forms MIM capacitors, metal resistors and metal interconnects using damascene processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2002Publication date: May 6, 2004Applicant: Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd.Inventors: Chit Hwei Ng, Chaw Sing Ho, Lup San Leong, Shao Kai, Raymond Jacob Joy, Sanford Chu, Sajan Marokkey Raphael

Patent number: 6547405Abstract: An angularly adjustable, vehicle side view mirror having a reflective mirror member mounted within a frame that is attached to the driver or passenger side of an automotive-type vehicle. The frame has an outer edge member having a series of horizontally spaced apart markings that are visible to the driver within the vehicle. The mirror has an outer edge that is closely adjacent to the frame outer edge member and can be pivoted into visual alignment with anyone of the frame member markings. The alignment of the mirror edge with a pre-selected frame member marking positions the mirror for reflecting either a blind spot side area or an area closer to the vehicle side. The marks also guide the driver in setting the mirror to pre-selected angles whenever the particular pre-set angle has been changed.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2001Date of Patent: April 15, 2003Inventor: Raymond A.

Patent number: 6528739Abstract: A fluid sensor apparatus for monitoring fluid in a container. The fluid sensor apparatus comprises a housing having an upper hook extending from a top thereof to allow the housing to be suspended. A lower hook is telescopically received in the housing and extends from a bottom thereof. The lower hook is adapted for suspending a fluid container therefrom. The lower hook is movable relative to the housing. A cam member is located inside the housing and is movable relative thereto. The cam member is coupled to an upper end of the lower hook. The cam member has a stepped gradation. A biasing member is coupled between a lower shoulder of the cam member and the housing. The biasing member is adapted to apply a force against the cam member to cause the cam member to be biased upward relative to the housing to an upper position. A switch is coupled to the housing and has an actuator located in relation to the stepped gradation of the cam member.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2000Date of Patent: March 4, 2003Assignee: Northgate Technologies IncorporatedInventors: Albert Nowosielski, Russell Kuzelka, Charles Zander, David Cho, Raymond Jacobs
