Publication number: 20240122367Abstract: A pop up cover for a crib is provided for providing a safe, comfortable and isolated environment for a child in a crib. The pop-up cover may be made of breathable fabric panels having an integrated frame, for example a flexible frame, which can be folded (collapsed) on itself, for example when folded in specific ways if appropriate force is applied and which keeps the fabric in a taught, open position when unfolded (preventing the panels form falling inwards onto each other). The pop up cover can be lightweight and compact, quick and easy to set up, dark inside and breathable.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Kathryn Beck Mallory, Louise Wingfield Childs, Maureen Carroll, Stephen Jones, Jeffrey Juskowich

Patent number: 11948786Abstract: A night vision system, a microchannel plate (MCP), and a planetary deposition system and methodology are provided for selectively depositing an electrode contact metal on one side of MCP channel openings. One or more MCPs can be releasably secured to a face of a platter that rotates about its central platter axis. The rotating platter can be tilted on a rotating ring fixture surrounding an evaporative source of contact metal. Therefore, the rotating platter further rotates so that it orbits around the evaporative source of contact metal. A mask with a variable size mask opening is arranged between the rotating platter and the evaporative source. While the mask orbits around the evaporative source with the rotating platter, the mask does not rotate along its own axis as does the rotating platter.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Elbit Systems of America, LLCInventors: Stephen Carroll, William J. Baney, Cooper Gray Temple, Matthew Robert Curtis

Publication number: 20220351633Abstract: A learner engagement engine provides a unique way to track and measure a learner's engagement across a plurality of different learning resources. In preferred embodiments, the learning engagement engine measures learner's engagement activities at the most detailed level (such as at a paragraph level, instead of a chapter or book level). This allows the learner engagement engine to easily aggregate learner activities, even when a course structure or context are changed during the course.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2020Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventors: Stephen Carroll, Brian Dailey, Saxena Ritu, Alex Johnson, Zach Kulpa, Albert Christy

Publication number: 20220220682Abstract: A mobile vehicle mounted dry filtration system to support a grinder system used for removal of markings, creating rumble strips, or the like. Blowers create a vacuum for drawing debris and dust from the grinder system into a debris bin. Large debris is removed from the vacuum draw and remains in the bin for later disposal. Small particles and dust are drawn into parallel positioned filter cyclones that have a cyclonic separation followed by flexible and inexpensive bag filters. The flexible filters are cleaned using vibrating diaphragms mounted on the top of the filter cyclones subject to a reverse air flow by the blowers using slide valves. A polishing tank containing water receives the exhaust from the filter cyclones for removal of airborne particles and sound suppression.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2022Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: James P. Crocker, Stephen Carroll
