Publication number: 20060005494Abstract: A shingled siding unit is adapted for mounting to a wall or roof of a building structure. The unit may be a panel assembly or a corner assembly and includes a substrate having outer and inner surfaces, at least one course of side-by-side shingles mounted to the outer surface of the substrate, and spacing strips extending across and secured to the inner surface of the substrate. The spacing strips define a ventilation channel which facilitates drainage or evaporation of moisture between the unit and the exterior surface of a building structure to which it is mounted. A method of using the shingled siding unit is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2005Publication date: January 12, 2006Inventors: Scott Marshall, Thomas Shuford

Publication number: 20040162222Abstract: A wide bore, high field superconducting magnet. The superconducting magnet has a plurality of superconducting coils impregnated with epoxy and nested within each other. An innermost one of the nested coils has a bore therethrough that defines a bore width of the magnet. The bore width is greater than approximately 100 millimeters. The nested coils are electrically connected in series and cooled to an operating temperature less than approximately 4 degrees K. The magnet also has external reinforcements on the coils that are applied prior to impregnating the coils with epoxy. An active protection circuit protects the coils in response to a quench in the magnet. The protection circuit includes heater elements positioned in thermal contact with the coils prior to impregnating the coils with epoxy. The magnet further has lead supports for supporting the lead wires with epoxy that extend from the coils.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2004Publication date: August 19, 2004Applicant: Florida State University Research FoundationInventors: W.

Patent number: 6209242Abstract: A motorized display using piezoelectricity to impart motion to a jewelry item or other items is disclosed. A quartz movement, otherwise used for rotating hands of a clock, is preferably used to rotate the display. In a preferred embodiment, a housing which has a drive aperture encloses the piezoelectric motor and a battery. A drive shaft, which rotates when the motor is powered, passes through the drive aperture of the housing. A holder for removably but securely holding a jewelry item or other items is positioned on the end of the drive shaft exterior to the housing and may be removable from the drive shaft. The holder may be a ring holder, a watch holder, a broach holder, etc., or may even be an entire jewelry box. The rotation of the drive shaft may be either stepped or continuous and a kit may be provided to the user which includes both types of motors.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1997Date of Patent: April 3, 2001Inventor: Roger Scott Marshall

Patent number: 6042759Abstract: A method of making functional orthotics from a multiplicity of uniquely designed injection molds which have been constructed by studying large numbers of replicas produced from uncorrected replicas that replicate the contour of the feet of a multiplicity of patients. In one form of the method of the invention, following a careful dimensional study of the corrected replicas, they are grouped into families, the members of which exhibit lower surface contours that are substantially identical. An injection mold is then made for each of the identified families, in a manner such that the mold will produce an orthotic having an upper surface that corresponds to the lower surface of the corrected orthotic that make up the group. Companion data is then developed which correlates the corrected replicas of each identified family with the uncorrected replicas from which they were made. A study of the uncorrected replicas then provides data as to the contour of the patient's feet which they replicate.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 1998Date of Patent: March 28, 2000Inventor: Scott Marshall

Patent number: 5965306Abstract: A method for determining if an undesirable feature on a photomask will adversely affect the performance of the semiconductor integrated circuit device that the mask is being used to create. The method includes inspecting the photomask for undesirable features and analyzing the designed features close to the defects. This analysis is performed on lithographic images that represent the image that is transferred onto the semiconductor wafer by the lithography process. This analysis takes into account the effect of variations that are present in the lithography process. Through knowledge of the effects of variations in mask critical dimension of a feature on the lithographic image of that feature, the analysis results in the assignment of an equivalent critical dimension error to the defect. This equivalent critical dimension error is then compared to the mask critical dimension error specification to determine whether or not the defect will adversely affect the device.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 1997Date of Patent: October 12, 1999Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Scott Marshall Mansfield, Richard Alan Ferguson, Alfred Kwok-Kit Wong

Patent number: 5768017Abstract: A system for creating a bright and uniform line of illumination. The "hot spot" of an arc lamp is imaged onto a narrow, circular pinhole aperture. Light passing through the pinhole aperture is collimated and passed through a second aperture (the apodizing aperture), before being focused to a line of illumination by a cylindrical lens. The spatial profile of the apodizing aperture is tailored to remove non-uniformities in the illumination source thereby allowing a highly uniform line of illumination to be created. Alternatively, the spatial profile of the apodizing aperture can be tailored to produce a line of illumination having a desired non-uniform intensity profile.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 1996Date of Patent: June 16, 1998Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mark Reid King, Scott Marshall Mansfield, William Harry Vonderhaar

Patent number: 4843617Abstract: Apparatus and method for synchronizing a local clock signal with a remote clock signal. The local clock signal is divided by a digital counter for generating a phase increment signal. The phase increment signal and the remote clock signal are applied to a further digital counter for counting the number of phase increment signal cycles received during a predetermined number of cycles of the received remote clock signal and generating a count value in response thereto. A microprocessor performs a table look-up for retrieving a predetermined digital correction value using an address characterized by the count value. The correction value is applied to a digital-to-analog converter for generating an analog control voltage in response thereto. The analog control voltage is applied to a master voltage control oscillator for generating the local oscillator signal such that the local oscillator signal frequency is adjusted to be synchronized with the remote clock signal in both phase and frequency.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 1987Date of Patent: June 27, 1989Assignee: Mitel CorporationInventors: Scott Marshall, Thanh Tran, A.
