Patent number: 10991517Abstract: Transmission of low energy light is one of the primary loss mechanisms of a single junction solar cell. Molecular photon upconversion via triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA-UC)—combining two or more low energy photons to generate a higher energy excited state—is an intriguing strategy to surpass this limit. The present disclosure is directed to self-assembled multilayers, e.g., bi- or trilayers, on metal oxide surfaces as a strategy to facilitate TTA-UC emission and demonstrate direct charge separation of the upconverted state. A three-fold enhancement in transient photocurrent is achieved at light intensities as low as two equivalent suns.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2015Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: The Florida State University Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Hanson, Sean Hill, Tristan Dilbeck

Patent number: 9399307Abstract: Various example embodiments are disclosed. According to one example embodiment, a router table may comprise a table top, a mounting can, a sleeve, and an adjustment mechanism. The table top may have an aperture and a plurality of support members; the support members may be configured to support the table top. The mounting can may be attachable to the table top in a vicinity of the aperture. The sleeve may be engaged to the mounting can, and may be configured to receive a router and to position a router bit of the router along an axis extending through the aperture. The adjustment mechanism may be configured to move the sleeve within the mounting can and relative to the table top to thereby move the router along the axis and position the router bit at one of a plurality of positions relative to the table top.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2011Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: BLACK & DECKER INC.Inventors: Thomas Sommerville, Sean Hill, Anthony Smith

Publication number: 20100094181Abstract: An apparatus for stretching and strengthening extremities includes a foot placement foundation having an inversion plane, a neutral plane, and an eversion plane. Support elements for the foot placement foundation include a front element, a back element, and two side elements connecting the front element to the back element, where the front element is shorter than the back element, forming an incline in the foot placement foundation. The foot placement foundation can have an incline of 15 or 20 degrees from horizontal, the apparatus can include an adjustment mechanism used to modify the incline in the foot placement foundation, and the side elements can be wedge-shaped. In addition, the front, back, and side elements can together include a flat bottom.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2009Publication date: April 15, 2010Applicant: Rehab United Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy, Inc.Inventors: Sean Hill, Gerald Giraud, Bryan Hill
