Publication number: 20240191424Abstract: A cyclone filter includes a body including a cylindrical surface extending between a first end and a second end, and defining a cavity of the cyclone filter. An air inlet is formed through the cylindrical surface and is configured to receive airflow from a laundry cabinet and to direct the airflow along the cylindrical surface within the cavity. A vortex diverter extends within the cavity from the second end and is configured to interrupt airflow as it passes within the cavity between the diverter and the cylindrical surface to separate particulates from the airflow. A particulate outlet formed through the cylindrical surface and axially spaced from the air inlet is configured to direct particulates separated from the airflow toward a particulate receptacle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2023Publication date: June 13, 2024Applicant: Alliance Laundry Systems LLCInventors: Andrew Kegler, Stephen Lester Harris, Todd Jonathan Zellmer, Karl Fredrick Schwengel, Debra A. Eiler, Michael J. Zambrowicz, Aaron Benjamin Dollevoet, Andrew Mason Harris

Patent number: 8431463Abstract: A method is disclosed for passivating and contacting a capacitor in an IC above a top level of interconnect metallization, without adding process steps. Passivation is accomplished by a dielectric layer, part of the IC protective overcoat, deposited directly on the capacitor, overlapping the electrode edges. Contact is made to the top electrode of the capacitor by etching small capacitor vias during a bond pad via etch process, followed by depositing and patterning bond pad metal in the capacitor vias to connect the top electrode to other circuit elements in the IC. The top electrode thickness is increased to accommodate the bond pad via etch process.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2009Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Maxwell Walthour Lippitt, III, Stephen Arlon Meisner, Lee Alan Stringer, Stephen Fredrick Clark, Fred Percy Debnam, II, Byron Lovell Williams

Publication number: 20040182879Abstract: A pellet dispenser has an egg-shaped housing containing a generally oval diaphragm (24) separating an upper pellet reservoir portion (12) from a lower discharge portion (14) having a discharge opening (8). Lateral pressure can be applied to the diaphragm (24) by a button (20) in the side of the housing to cause the diaphragm (24) to bow. The diaphragm (24) has a central aperture (32) and carries on opposite sides of the aperture a pair of half cylindrical arms (4, 36) defining a channel (38) from the aperture (32) to the opening (8). A pair of mating doors (10) closing the opening (8) are carried at the distal ends of the arms (34, 36). When the diaphragm (24) is squeezed the distal ends of the arms (34, 36) separate to open the doors (10). A pair of rods (42) are attached to the diaphragm (24) only at their opposite ends.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2004Publication date: September 23, 2004Inventors: Alastair Guy Linden Kingsland, Stephen Fredrick Kelsey, John Madock Kelso, Gerard O'Brian
