Publication number: 20240082949Abstract: Thin-film devices, for example electrochromic devices for windows, and methods of manufacturing are described. Particular focus is given to methods of patterning optical devices. Various edge deletion and isolation scribes are performed, for example, to ensure the optical device has appropriate isolation from any edge defects. Methods described herein apply to any thin-film device having one or more material layers sandwiched between two thin film electrical conductor layers. The described methods create novel optical device configurations.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: View, Inc.Inventors: Abhishek Anant Dixit, Todd William Martin, Anshu A. Pradhan, Fabian Strong, Robert T. Rozbicki

Publication number: 20090113516Abstract: Policy setting in an access node remotely located from a controller. A remote access node connects to a controller over a digital network such as the internet. Operating policy is established based on the location of the access node. In one embodiment, the location of the access node is determined through a GPS receiver associated with the node. In a second embodiment, the location of the access node is determined through its public IP address. Location information is used to establish policy at the access node, which may include aspects such as operating parameters, access controls, and availability of services through the controller.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2007Publication date: April 30, 2009Applicant: ARUBA NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Loren Vorreiter, Martin Lord, Jeffrey Pochop, Robert T.

Patent number: 7126520Abstract: Generation of segmented sawtooth waveforms. A desired waveform is divided into intervals. A slope is associated with each interval. A charge current representing the slope is applied to a timing capacitor during each interval. Responsive to a clock signal, a counter chain indexes a digital memory which provides values to a digital to analog converter. The output of the digital to analog converter drives an adjustable current source to charge the timing capacitor.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2004Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Avago Technologies General IP (Singapore) Pte.

Patent number: 7044437Abstract: A flexible size diffuser grid assembly formed up of individual sparger units for use as a noise abatement device to reduce the fluid pressure in a predetermined manner to substantially reduce the aerodynamic noise and structural vibrations produced by a fluid moving therethrough. The sparger grid assembly is formed in a window pane grid-like arrangement of individual sparger pane units, each of which are mounted in a support frame, and each of which utilize individual stack of flat plates, the plates respectively having inlet slots and outlet slots, and interconnecting plenums, to create a series of passageways to substantially subdivide the flow stream of steam into smaller portions to reduce fluid pressure. The individual sparger units can be formed of a standard size, or instead formed of custom sizes, and greater or less numbers of individual window pane sparger units can be used in the frame, depending on the given end-use application.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2004Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignee: Fisher Controls International LLC.Inventor: Robert T. Martin

Publication number: 20040203435Abstract: Discovery and mapping of network nodes in a peer-to-peer network. Network nodes in a peer-to-peer network are discovered and mapped by sending out queries at varying power levels and recording acknowledgments including a quality-of-service metric from the acknowledging node.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2002Publication date: October 14, 2004Inventors: Richard K.

Patent number: 6652661Abstract: A method for removing a wide variety of radioactive contaminants from a contaminated surface sufficient for the surface to be classified as a low-level waste or as free release. Contaminated surfaces may be classified as Class C, Class B, Class A, or high-level radioactive wastes prior to treatment. An aqueous solution having a wetting agent and a complex substituted keto-amine is provided. The aqueous solution is left on the surface for a time sufficient to remove the radioactive contaminants into the aqueous solution which is then removed. Depending on the type and condition of the surface, an acid may be added to the aqueous solution to aid in the contaminant removal process. However, typical metals surfaces may often be treated effectively without the use of concentrated acids or with dilute concentrations of such acids. The method of the present invention has the effect of removing substantially all of the radioactive contaminants from a variety of previously contaminated surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2003Date of Patent: November 25, 2003Assignee: Bobolink, Inc.Inventor: Robert T. Martin

Publication number: 20030203722Abstract: Reduced power consumption in a receiver. Power consumption is reduced in a receiver by operating portions of the receiver such as the first RF amplifier, local oscillator, and associated phase locked loop at reduced power in a standby mode, trading lower power for lower performance. In a normal operating mode, these portions of the receiver operate at full power and performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2002Publication date: October 30, 2003Inventors: Richard K. Karlquist, Ken A. Nishimura, Jerry J. Liu, Matthew Johnson, Michael C. Higgins, Robert T. Martin

Patent number: 6605158Abstract: A method for removing radioactive contaminants from a given surface. An aqueous solution having a wetting agent and a complex substituted keto-amine is provided. The solution is left on the surface for a time sufficient to remove the radioactive contaminants into the aqueous solution which is then removed. Depending on the type and condition of the surface, a concentrated acid may be added to the aqueous solution to aid in the contaminant removal process. In such a case, a pH of less than 3.0, and preferably less than 1.5 is maintained. If a concentrated acid is used, the acidic solution containing radioactive contaminants is preferably neutralized by an alkaline material to a pH of between 5.5 and 9.0. Removal of thorium contamination from railcars is one useful application of the invention. The method of the present invention has the effect of removing substantially all of the radioactive contaminants from a previously contaminated surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2002Date of Patent: August 12, 2003Assignee: Bobolink, Inc.Inventor: Robert T.

Patent number: 6497769Abstract: A method for removing radioactive contaminants from a given surface. An acidic solution having a pH of less than 3.0, and preferably less than 1.5, of a complex substituted keto-amine, and a mixture of a saturated and unsaturated lower alcohol (e.g. isopropyl alcohol and propargyl alcohol), and concentrated acid is applied to a contaminated surface. The solution is left on said surface for a time sufficient to remove the radioactive contaminants into the acidic solution and then removed. The acidic solution containing the radioactive contaminants is preferably neuralized by an alkaline material to a pH of between 5.5 and 9.0. Removal of thorium contamination from railcars is one useful application of the invention. The method of the present invention has the effect of removing substantially all of the radioactive contaminants from a previously contaminated surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2001Date of Patent: December 24, 2002Assignee: Bobolink, Inc.Inventor: Robert T.

Patent number: 4114211Abstract: A reinforcing structure for the corners of innerspring assemblies comprising spaced parallel parts disposed diagonally across the top and bottom sides of the innerspring assembly, spring members at the opposite ends of the spaced parallel parts disposed between the top and bottom sides which yieldably resist displacement of the top and bottom sides relative to each other and clips fixing the structures to the top and bottom sides of the assembly. The spring members are torsion springs comprising a coil and angularly disposed arms and these are disposed with the arms situated in the planes of the sides and ends of the assembly. Optionally, the top and bottom parts are longitudinallly adjusted to vary the distance between the spring members.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 1977Date of Patent: September 19, 1978Assignee: Webster Spring Co.
