Publication number: 20180186302Abstract: An angular audio accessory for redirecting a speaker bar consists of a stationary U-channel, a collapsible U-channel, a hinging mechanism, and a clamping mechanism. The collapsible U-channel is hingedly connected to the stationary U-channel with the hinging mechanism. The configuration of the collapsible U-channel is determined with the clamping mechanism. When in use, the stationary U-channel is attached to a body of a vehicle. The speaker bar that needs to be redirected is connected to the collapsible U-channel. Thus, the speaker bar can be positioned in parallel to the stationary U-channel or perpendicular to the stationary U-channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2018Publication date: July 5, 2018Inventors: Robert Maynard, Dirk Smith, Jacob Edwards

Publication number: 20080255049Abstract: The combination of low intensity pulsed ultrasound with administration of an osteogenic protein or proteins or their genes enhances bone repair in mammals. This combination avoids thermal activation of tissue repair mechanisms and allows the osteogenic protein or proteins or their genes to act at the site of bone fracture or lowered bone density to enhance or accelerate bone formation, thereby improving the prognosis of a patient. The combination may be used to treat fractures, to prevent or treat osteoporosis, to improve outcomes for bone replacement and to prevent or treat bone loss due to other physiologic disorders.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2008Publication date: October 16, 2008Applicant: RUSH UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTERInventors: Dale Richman Sumner, Amarjit Singh Virdi, Robert Maynard Leven

Patent number: 6387205Abstract: A method for coating cloth especially fiberglass sheets with a thermosetting resin and resulting structure is provided. The coating is performed in two steps. In the first step, essentially all of the strands of the fiberglass are coated with the resin/solvent mixture while maintaining at least some of the interstices or openings essentially free of the solvent mixture. This first coating is then partially cured to between about 70% and 90% of full cure. The coated fiberglass with partially cured resin thereon is then given a second coating of either the same or different thermosetting resin mixture which coats the first coating and fills in the interstices between the fibers. This second coating is then partially cured, which advances the cure of the first coating past 80% full cure and results in an impregnated fiberglass cloth structure for use as sticker sheets.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2000Date of Patent: May 14, 2002Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bernd Karl Appelt, William Thomas Fotorny, Robert Maynard Japp, Kostantinos Papathomas, Mark David Poliks

Patent number: 6351030Abstract: The present invention is a method of providing a protective covering on an electronic package including a first circuitized substrate, a semiconductor chip positioned on and electrically coupled to the first substrate, and a plurality of conductors also on the substrate for electrically connecting the substrate to an external circuitized substrate. In one version, the method comprises covering substantially all of the external surfaces of the substrate, the semiconductor chip and a portion of the plurality of conductors with a protective covering from immersion in a dielectric solution (e.g., TEFLON AF). The coatings can also be applied by brushing, spraying, or chemical vapor deposition. In an alternative embodiment, all of the external surfaces, including all of the conductors, are coated with the protective covering (e.g., to facilitate package shipment or other handling). The resulting electronic packages are also described herein.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1999Date of Patent: February 26, 2002Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ross Downey Havens, Robert Maynard Japp, Jeffrey Alan Knight, Mark David Poliks, Anne M.

Patent number: 6096665Abstract: A method for coating cloth especially fiberglass sheets with a resin and resulting structure is provided. The coating is performed in two steps. In the first step, essentially all of the strands of the fiberglass are coated with the resin solvent mixture as well as most of the interstices or openings, although some of the interstices or openings have holes where the coating does not completely fill in. This first coating is then partially cured to the extent that it will not redissolve in a second coating of the same resin solution. The coated fiberglass with partially cured resin thereon is then given a second coating of the same resin mixture which coats the first coating and fills in any holes in the first coating. This second coating is then partially cured, which advances the cure of the first coating and results in an impregnated fiberglass cloth structure for use as sticker sheets. This substantially reduces pinholing.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 1997Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bernd Karl Appelt, Robert Maynard Japp, Kostantinos Papathomas, William John Rudik
