Patent number: 11015680Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a means for vertically suspending a single lighting element or a plurality of lighting elements within a rail system using one or a plurality of wedge pin suspension systems that employ a wedge pin securing device and a receptive collar assembly to grip and secure in place one or a plurality of electrical cables having at least two insulated conductive electrical leads to provide both vertical support and electrical power to the suspended lighting elements. The present disclosure further relates to a manually adjustable and reservable wedge pin securing device configured for easy manipulation, yet providing a secure vertical suspension means using a lighting system's own electrical cable for support based on combined frictional and gravitational forces.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2018Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: VODE LIGHTING, LLCInventors: Scott Yu, Richard Wong

Publication number: 20210140703Abstract: A refrigeration cabinet assembly for a refrigeration appliance (1) comprises an insulated cabinet (20) having five closed faces and an open front face providing access to an interior of the cabinet. A torsionally stiff structure fixed to one of the five closed faces (23) or a structure (31) is added to one of the five closed faces (23) so that together with that closed face a torsionally stiff structure results. The torsional stiffness of the assembly is thereby increased beyond that of the cabinet alone so that the insulated cabinet has an improved ability to resist twisting.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2018Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: Richard WONG, Ian Campbell MCGILL, Kenneth William FOSTER, Yunchao HOU

Publication number: 20200354081Abstract: Apparatus and methods for marine capture of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using water for braking and damping are described. An example capture device is for capturing a UAV aboard a marine vessel located in a body of water. The capture device includes a mounting frame and a capture frame. The mounting frame is configured to be coupled to the marine vessel. The capture frame is configured to be rotatably coupled to the mounting frame. The capture frame is rotatable relative to the mounting frame about an axis of rotation. The capture frame includes a braking member configured to be submerged in the body of water. The braking member is configured to oppose rotation of the capture frame relative to the mounting frame based on a braking force to be applied to the braking member by the body of water.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2019Publication date: November 12, 2020Inventors: Jesse D. Kiewit, John Richard Wong

Publication number: 20200141556Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to coupling devices and means to eliminate non-illuminated gaps between adjacently positioned lighting systems and light rail assemblies. The present disclosure relates more specifically to coupling devices for joining adjacently positioned lighting systems to provide seamless continuous lighting by illuminating the gap region between the adjacent lighting systems using illumination from one or more of the lighting systems themselves redirected by prismatic optical means. The present disclosure also relates more specifically to an adaptable coupling device with connection element and a prismatic lens for joining two or more lighting rail assemblies together to provide seamless, integrated and continuous lighting across the coupling region and securing the relative position between the lighting rail assemblies and associated elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2019Publication date: May 7, 2020Applicant: Vode Lighting LLCInventors: Scott S. Yu, Richard Wong

Patent number: 10039022Abstract: A passive intermodulation detection system is provided to remotely identify passive intermodulation at a base station site and diagnose the type of intermodulation and location of the non-linearity that is the source of the passive intermodulation. The passive intermodulation detection system can generate a test signal in a first band that is transmitted by an antenna. Another antenna can receive a signal in another band, and the passive intermodulation detection system can analysis the received signal to determine whether an intermodulation product due to a non-linearity is present. Based on the type of intermodulation product, period, order, frequency, and etc., the type and location of the non-linearity can be identified.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2015Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignees: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P., AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Ernest Tsui, Peter Richard Wong, Paul Maxwell, Young Suh

Publication number: 20170314765Abstract: A device and method for housing a terminator circuit and brightly distributing light from one surface and dimly distributing light from another surface with a single light source. Additionally, light may be distributed from a top surface, a bottom surface and through an edge surface. In operation, the light fixture of figure may provide tri-directional lighting by providing light from the LEDs directed from one side of the light fixture, while providing light from a second side of the light fixture in the opposite direction (but offset), and directing a third portion of light from one of the LED arrays through a light pipe to an edge of the fixture. This allows a lighting designer a wide range of aesthetics and lighting affects because light of different densities may be directed where needed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2017Publication date: November 2, 2017Applicant: Vodce Lighting, LLCInventors: Scott S YU, Richard WONG, Timothy MAUTZ

Patent number: 9556046Abstract: A membrane supported biofilm apparatus has a plurality of hollow fiber gas permeable membranes in a tank containing water to be treated. A biofilm supported on the membranes occupies between about 40% and 80% of the volume of water to be treated in a reactor. Wastewater treatment processes are described. A process to denitrify water or treat oxidized contaminants comprises introducing hydrogen into an inner volume of the membranes to grow autotrophic organisms in the biofilm near the membrane and heterotrophic organism near the water. Another process is operated as a biomass concentration of at least 10 g/L and up to about 40 g/L to maintain a biofilm having a surface area of over 1000 square meters per cubic meter of tank volume. A hybrid process has suspended biomass and a membrane supported biofilm.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2015Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: ZENON TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIPInventors: Hidayat Husain, Rocco Mazzaferro, Minggang Liu, Richard Wong, Heather Lossing, Fengshen Fan, Youngseck Hong, Reid Bayly
