Publication number: 20230349158Abstract: A downspout end cover protects and closes a lower end of a cylindrical rain gutter downspout assembly. The cover includes a body that forms a continuous hollow channel for passage of collected rainwater. An aperture at the back of the body is sized to attach to the downspout, and a front cylindrical or oval aperture emits collected rainwater. A door is rotatably attached to the front of the body at a top of the front of the body by a hinge and when closed, prevents entry of animals, insects or blown debris. The front of the body may be sloped and the door may rest against an inset ledge that protects the door and seals the downspout end cover against entry of insects and preventing detachment of the door from the body. The hinge may be offset from the back surface of the door by an arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventor: Stephen Cochran

Patent number: 8206335Abstract: The present invention provides fluid and material delivery methods and devices for practicing the methods. The invention provides a method of delivering cellular material comprising injecting the cellular material into a subject such that the injected cells retain their inherent morphologic characteristics upon injection. The method comprises the steps of aspirating the cellular material into a fluid delivery device which incorporates a syringe arrangement. The cellular material is aspirated into the main body of the syringe until the desired amount of a material has filled the syringe body. The needle of the fluid delivery device is then inserted into the skin of a subject at an angle about parallel to the skin until a desired depth has been reached. The cellular material is then injected in the subject until the desired volume of material has been injected. The needle of the device is then rotated approximately 45 to 90 degrees and the needle is removed from the injection site.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2010Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Aderans Research Institute, Inc.Inventors: Terrell Pruitt, Stephen A.

Patent number: 7849454Abstract: Firmware for a baseboard management controller (BMC) of a blade server module in an information handling system may have automatic firmware corruption recovery and updating through a TFTP transfer from a central storage location having the most recent BMC firmware image. Upon blade power-on or reset the BMC firmware image is checked for corruption and if corrupted a new BMC firmware image is loaded into the BMC memory. If the BMC firmware image is not corrupted then it is checked to determine if it is the latest version. If it is the latest version the BMC starts normal program execution. If not the latest version then the BMC firmware is updated through the TFTP transfer from the central storage location having the most recent BMC firmware image.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2006Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Timothy Lambert, Stephen Cochran, Pedro Lopez

Patent number: 7676666Abstract: A baseboard management controller (BMC) of a blade server module in an information handling system may operate as a virtual system BIOS firmware hub that may have automatic firmware updating through a TFTP transfer from a chassis management controller (CMC) or for rack/tower servers from a remote assistant card (RMC). The system BIOS may be stored in a RAM drive or a ROM of the BMC. Valuable printed circuit board real estate and hardware for a firmware hub is no longer necessary since the BMC may have the capacity to act as a virtual system BIOS firmware hub in addition to its other functions.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2006Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Timothy Lambert, Stephen Cochran, Mukund P.

Patent number: 7597885Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved scaffold which is constructed to mimic the architecture of the native hair follicle. The present invention also relates to the use of specific compositions and methods of manufacture to produce scaffolds that combine biocompatibility with the desired rates of bioabsorption. In another embodiment, the present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a biomimetic hair follicle graft and a method for seeding the graft with cells and implanting the graft into the skin where the growth of a new hair shaft is desired. A further embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for hair multiplication in which cells are multiplied in culture and aliquoted into a multitude of bioabsorbable scaffolds in combination with cultured keratinocytes or other allogenic cells.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2004Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Aderans Research Institute, Inc.Inventors: Thomas H.

Patent number: 7519167Abstract: An information handling system receives management information from a network, such as IPMI information, with plural network interface cards of the information handling system in a teaming configuration. Upon detecting management information, a network interface card issues an SMBus alert to a management processor of the information handling system. A team module running on the management processor reads the status of the network interfaces to identify the network interface associated with the alert and reads the management information from the network interface. Management information sent to the network is sent through a predetermined one of the network interfaces to ensure that, if teaming gets deactivated at the switch, there will not be multiple NICs with the same BMC MAC address transmitting to the switch.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2005Date of Patent: April 14, 2009Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Elie Jreij, Stephen Cochran, Ramkrishna Prakash, Paul W.
