Patent number: 10307851Abstract: A method includes obtaining multiple components to be coupled together, such as during a brazing operation. At least one of the multiple components includes a stop-off. The stop-off includes one or more markings formed on at least one surface of the at least one component. The one or more markings include (i) one or more etches in the at least one surface and/or (ii) one or more oxides formed by localized heating of the at least one surface. The method also includes coupling the multiple components together using a melted or liquid material, such as a filler metal used in the brazing operation. The stop-off controls or interrupts a flow of the melted or liquid material in a joint between the multiple components during the coupling. The one or more markings could interfere with a capillary action that pulls the melted or liquid material into the joint.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2016Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Christopher E. Pentland, Ryan J. Reeser, Desirée L. Schaub

Patent number: 10034478Abstract: Compositions having antimicrobial activity contain surface functionalized particles comprising an inorganic copper salt which has low water solubility. These types of inorganic salts may also be introduced in porous particles to yield antimicrobial compositions. The compositions may optionally comprise additional antimicrobial agents, salts with high water solubility, organic acids, salts of organic acids and their esters. The compositions may be added to various fluids used in the petroleum extraction industry, or used as coatings on components used in this industry. These antimicrobial materials may be used for reducing both anaerobic and aerobic bacteria and are also useful for reducing corrosion of ferrous components caused by anaerobic bacteria. Although such compositions may be used for any antimicrobial application, and some of the other important uses of these compositions are in wound care, personal care and waste processing.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2015Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: Agienic, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas R. Krasnow, Anoop Agrawal, Donald R. Uhlmann, John P. Cronin, Murat Akarsu, Ryan J. Reeser, Lori L. Adams

Publication number: 20090285821Abstract: The present disclosure provides coding and amino acid sequences for a Campylobacter jejuni pilus protein (and from other species as well). This protein, when administered to a human or animal, elicits the expression of an immune response to Campylobacter jejuni, with the result that colonization and/or infection by this organism is reduced. Recombinant protein or biofilm material comprising the pilus protein is formulated into immunogenic compositions, especially for mucosal administration. Thus, the present invention provides methods for improvement of the microbial quality of food products including poultry, eggs, meat and dairy products, and indirectly of plant foods that may come in contact with agricultural waste, either from fertilization or from irrigation water.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2006Publication date: November 19, 2009Applicant: THE ARIZONA BOARD OF REGENTS ON BEHALF OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONAInventors: Lynn Joens, James R.
