Patent number: 9451835Abstract: An integrated padded mesh material may be used in pillows or pillowcases for improved air flow around a user of the pillow or pillowcase during rest. When used in a pillow, the material may substantially cover the side of the pillow that a user's head rests upon. Other materials, such as mesh and satin materials, may be used to complete construction of the pillow. The pillow may take on familiar shapes, such as a dog. When the integrated padded mesh material is used in a pillowcase the pillowcase may be wrapped around a conventional pillow to increase air flow during rest. The pillowcase may include several layers such as the integrated padded mesh material and an allergy-blocking fabric.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2011Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: BreathableBaby, LLCInventors: Dale Richard Waters, Susan Marie Waters

Patent number: 8952838Abstract: A time domain switching analog-to-digital converter apparatus and methods of utilizing the same. In one implementation, the converter apparatus comprises a carrier signal source, and at least one reference source. The carrier signal is summed with the input signal and the summed modulated signal is fed to a comparator circuit. The comparator is configured detects crossings of the reference level by the modulated waveform thereby generating trigger events. The time period between consecutive trigger events is used to obtain modulated signal deviation due to the input signal thus enabling input signal measurement. Control of the carrier oscillation amplitude and frequency enables real time adjustment of the converter dynamic range and resolution. The use of additional reference signal levels increases sensor frequency response and accuracy. A dual channel converter apparatus enables estimation and removal of common mode noise, thereby improving signal conversion accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Lumedyne Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Richard Waters, Brad Chisum, Mark Fralick, John D.

Patent number: 8592255Abstract: A method includes providing a handle wafer having first and second sides. A first oxide layer covers the first side, a second oxide layer covers the second side, a first silicon layer covers the first oxide layer, and a second silicon layer covers the second oxide layer. A portion of the first silicon layer and the first oxide layer is etched to create an exposed portion of the first side. A portion of the second silicon layer and the second oxide layer is etched to create an exposed portion of the second side. A first conductive layer is deposited on the exposed portion of the first side such that it contacts the handle wafer, first oxide layer, and first silicon layer. A second conductive layer is deposited on the exposed portion of the second side such that it contacts the handle wafer, second oxide layer, and second silicon layer.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2012Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventor: Richard Waters

Patent number: 8443673Abstract: A geophone including a plurality of ferromagnetic masses (e.g., magnets) disposed to oscillate on one or more compliant elements (e.g., springs) in a manner that produces a steep flux gradient at one or more conductive coils is disclosed. The magnetic masses are positioned with like poles facing each other so as to compress the magnetic field gradient. The coils may be positioned in the flux gap either between the magnets, in close proximity to the magnets, or surrounding the magnets. Vibration measurements may then be detected from the movement of at least one of the magnetic masses.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2009Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Lumedyne Technologies IncorporatedInventors: Brad Chisum, Mark Fralick, Richard Waters
