Patent number: 11917991Abstract: Electrode systems have been developed for use in perfusion systems to measure the electrical activity of an explanted heart and to provide defibrillation energy as necessary. The perfusion systems maintain the heart in a beating state at, or near, normal physiological conditions; circulating oxygenated, nutrient enriched perfusion fluid to the heart at or near physiological temperature, pressure and flow rate. These systems include a pair of electrodes that are placed epicardially on the right atrium and left ventricle of the explanted heart, as well as an electrode placed in the aortic blood path.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: TRANSMEDICS, INC.Inventors: Waleed H.

Publication number: 20210356139Abstract: An ultrasonic filtration device may be incorporated into or otherwise installed in an extractor hood in a cooking environment. The ultrasonic filtration device aids in the elimination and/or reduction of contaminants in the air produced as a byproduct of cooking. Particulate contaminants are bombarded with high-energy pressure waves, thereby breaking up the particulates and reducing their size until they are no longer noticeable and/or hazardous to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Inventors: Richard Lambert, Sean Scott, Derek Turner

Publication number: 20070211850Abstract: A method of controlling carbonaceous contamination of the surface of a mirror coated with a metal layer comprises the steps of supplying to the mirror a source of carbon for forming carbonaceous deposits on the mirror surface, and a source of a reactant for reacting with the deposits either reductively or by incorporation of hetero-atoms other than oxygen to produce a volatile product, and exposing the mirror to extreme ultra violet (EUV) radiation to activate the reaction. Controlling to the partial pressure ratio of the carbon source and the reactant source can enable the level of contamination of the mirror surface to be actively controlled.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2005Publication date: September 13, 2007Inventors: Richard Lambert, Robert Grant
