Patent number: 10135438Abstract: The invention relates to a Radio Frequency System and method. A Radio Frequency (RF) system comprising a RF switch comprising a plurality of transistor switching elements implemented on Silicon on Insulator (SOI) for switching at least one or more RF signals and said SOI comprises a bulk substrate region and a buried oxide region. At least one filter is adapted to isolate the RF signal from the substrate and/or other high frequency signals or control signals present in the RF system. There is also provided a coupling capacitor adapted to cooperate with the filter to improve linearity of the transistor switch elements.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2016Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: FERFICS LIMITEDInventors: Eugene Heaney, John O'Sullivan, Stephen Kenney

Patent number: 7887207Abstract: The display space of a multiple door display merchandiser is illuminated by one or more vertically extending lamps (80) disposed intermediate the vertical sides of an access opening to the display space. A multiple door assembly (44) covers the access opening. To enhance the illumination of the display space, a pair of vertically extending side reflectors (92) are provided, one extending along one side of the access opening and the other extending along the other side of the access opening. An additional reflector may be mounted to an interior facing surface of the door along an upper front region of the door and/or a lower front region.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2006Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Carrier CorporationInventors: Riad Saraiji, Mark A.

Patent number: 7665314Abstract: A refrigerated container having an air compressor for maintaining a controlled atmosphere includes provisions for cooling the ambient air being drawn in by the air compressor to thereby prevent corrosion in the air compressor. A condensing line heat exchanger is connected between an inlet port and the compressor and is so disposed that the evaporator fan passes air thereover to provide cooling to the ambient air passing therethrough such that condensation forms within the tube. A water separator is included in the system to remove condensate and allow the drier air to pass to the compressor. The water separator is so constructed as to allow for the free flow of air therethrough with very little restriction. A drain fitting in the water separator is so constructed as to prevent spattering that might otherwise occur.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2005Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Carrier CorporationInventors: Raymond L. Senf, Jr., Alan D. Abbott, Stephen Kenney

Publication number: 20100018227Abstract: A refrigerated case (20) includes a body (22) having a left and a right side, a top, and a back. A refrigerated compartment (24) is located within the body. At least one vertical array (120, 122) of shelves is within the refrigerated compartment. A base compartment (44) is below the refrigerated compartment. A refrigeration module (50) is located within the base compartment. A cold air flowpath (512) extends from the module upward through a rear duct (146,147) of the body and returns to the module. The cold air flowpath includes a number of branches extending through apertures in the rear duct. The cold air flowpath returns downwardly through the shelf array.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2007Publication date: January 28, 2010Applicant: CARRIER CORPORATIONInventors: Eugene D.

Publication number: 20060207276Abstract: A refrigerated merchandiser (10) includes a cabinet (20) having a top wall (22), a lower wall (24), a rear wall (34), and side walls (36, 38) defining an interior product display space (100) housing a product (110) in a refrigerated environment for consumer selection. A refrigeration unit (50) is disposed in operative association with the interior product display space in a compartment (55) beneath the lower wall (24). A first opening in the lower wall provides an air return inlet (102) establishing a flow passage from the interior product display space (1000 to the compartment (55) beneath the lower wall. A sealing member (58) is disposed between the under surface of the lower wall (24) and the upper surface of the refrigeration unit cassette (50) about the first opening; and a positioning apparatus (150) for raising the refrigeration unit cassette (50) unit into sealing relationship with the lower wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2006Publication date: September 21, 2006Applicant: Carrier CorporationInventors: Eugene Daddis, Luis Avila, Mary Saroka, Stephen Kenney, Brian Mead, Mark Daniels

Publication number: 20050071189Abstract: Patient medical information is processed for storage and retrieval subject to anonymity constraints. The patient medical information is divided into a first information portion including information identifying a patient and information identifying a physician of the patient, and a second information portion including clinical and demographic information for the patient and the information identifying the physician. A unique code associated with the patient, but which does not identify the patient, is obtained when the first and second information portions are processed. The unique code is appended to the first and second information portions. The first information portion is then stored in a first information storage facility with other first information portions for other patients, and the second information portion is stored in a second information storage facility, separate from the first information storage facility, with second information portions for other patients.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2003Publication date: March 31, 2005Inventors: Richard Blake, Stephen Kenney, Christopher McKewon, William O'Riordan
