Patent number: 9736560Abstract: The present disclosure generally provides an apparatus and method of forming a liquid impermeable sealed audio speaker that can be easily manufactured and provides a high quality audio output. In an effort to overcome the shortcomings of conventional sealed speaker designs that typically utilize complicated and expensive means of shielding their electronic components from liquids and other sources of contamination, one or more of the embodiments of the disclosure provided herein include a sealed enclosure that has at least one liquid impermeable region that prevents or substantially inhibits the movement of a liquid from the exterior region into the internal region. In general, the liquid impermeable regions, or hereafter simply “liquid permeable regions,” are configured to prevent the ingress of liquids or other contaminants, while allowing the production of a desired sound quality.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2015Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Logitech Europe S.A.Inventors: Steve McGarry, Steven Warren Pooler, Donald Robert Mayette

Patent number: 9625404Abstract: A method for single-molecule detection is provided and uses a carbon nanotube having a probe entity attached thereto to define a first state of the carbon nanotube. The carbon nanotube is introduced to a target entity to define a second state of the carbon nanotube. The electrical conductance of the carbon nanotube in the first and second states is compared to detect the presence of a biomolecular entity. A system for single-molecule detection including a carbon nanotube is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: The Trustees Of Columbia University In the City of New YorkInventors: Sebastian Sorgenfrei, Kenneth Shepard, Chien-Yang Chiu, Colin Nuckolls, Steven Warren

Publication number: 20170038333Abstract: A circuit comprising a substrate with sectors on the substrate is provided, each sector comprising clock and data lines, a controller in electrical communication with the clock and data lines, a counter bias line, an amplifier input line and nano-electronic measurement devices on the substrate. A source of each device is coupled to the counter bias line and a drain of each device is coupled to the amplifier input line to obtain an electrical signal on the drain, the identity of which is determined by electrical interaction between the device and a charge label. Each device drain is gated by a corresponding switch between an on state, in which the drain is connected to the amplifier input line, and an off state, in which the drain is isolated from the amplifier input line. The controller controls switch states responsive to clock signal line pulses and data input line data.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2016Publication date: February 9, 2017Inventors: Stephen Turner, Jonas Korlach, Steven Warren

Publication number: 20160366499Abstract: The present disclosure generally provides an apparatus and method of forming a pressure equalizing audio speaker that can be easily manufactured and provides a high quality audio output. One or more of the embodiments of the disclosure provided herein include a sealed enclosure that has at least one liquid impermeable and gas permeable region that allows the flow of a gas between an interior region and an exterior region, while preventing or substantially inhibiting the movement of a liquid from the exterior region into the internal region. In general, the liquid impermeable and gas permeable regions are configured to allow slowly changing gas pressures registered between the internal region and exterior region to be relieved, while allowing rapidly changing gas pressures generated by the diaphragm at audible frequencies to function at a desired level during use.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2016Publication date: December 15, 2016Inventors: Stephen McGARRY, Steven Warren POOLER, Jeffrey ANDERSON

Patent number: 9341522Abstract: A temperature sensor includes a temperature probe, an adapter, a resilient device, and a visual indicator. The temperature probe includes a temperature sensing device disposed at a temperature probe tip. The adapter surrounds a portion of the temperature probe such that the temperature probe is movable within the adapter in a lengthwise direction. The adapter includes a physical reference. The resilient device is adapted to produce a force between the adapter and the temperature probe. The force being variable based on a position of the temperature probe within the adapter. The visual indicator is disposed on a surface of the temperature probe. Alignment of the visual indicator with the physical reference corresponds to a desired force produced by the resilient device.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2013Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: Rosemount Inc.Inventors: Andrew John Kitzman, Andrew Steven Dierker, Kyle Steven Warren, Allen John Kassen, Dirk Willy Bauschke

Patent number: 6766617Abstract: A sliding window assembly includes a lower frame member forming a channel, a guide bracket within the channel and slideable along the length of the channel, and a sliding pane carried by the guide bracket between closed and open positions. A pull-pull cable drive assembly is operably secured to the guide bracket to move the sliding pane between the closed and open positions. The drive assembly includes a drive motor, a drive drum rotateable by the drive motor, and drive cable connecting ends of the guide bracket with the drive drum. The guide bracket and the transition blocks are each mechanically locked to limit vertical movement relative to the frame member in order to reduce inadvertent tilting of the sliding pane. In one embodiment, the guide bracket includes tabs which are adhered to faces of the sliding pane to form a mechanical lock therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2002Date of Patent: July 27, 2004Assignee: Dura Global Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Steven Warren Purcell

Patent number: 6378984Abstract: This disclosure describes an improved print cartridge that reduces dimple in the nozzle member and the attendant nozzle trajectory errors. In a preferred embodiment, a nozzle member has a plurality of ink orifices formed therein by suitable processing techniques. A substrate containing a plurality of heating elements and associated ink ejection chambers is affixed to the nozzle member via suitable processing with a suitable adhesive. The heating elements are mounted on a back surface of the nozzle member, each heating element being located proximate to an associated ink ejection chamber and ink orifice, with the back surface of the nozzle member extending over two or more outer edges of the substrate. The nozzle member includes reinforcing features. These features increase the structural integrity of flex circuit in the vicinity of the orifices.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 1998Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Steven Warren Steinfield, Kirk Edward Novotny

Patent number: 5681160Abstract: A flare tip structure has a tubular component usually mounted at the top of a flare sack which emits waste gas into the atmosphere for disposal by combustion with the aid of one or more pilot burners. Several fluid injectors are mounted inside the component and emit cones of injection fluid, such as natural around the axis of the tubular component. A deflector assists the injectors in creating a cushion of fluid just above the opening of the tubular component to space the combustion flame away from the opening. This allows surrounding air to flow into the gap between the opening and the combustion flame and to mix with waste gas prior to combustion to suppress smoke.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 1995Date of Patent: October 28, 1997Inventors: John Ellis, John C. Boden, Dennis R. Adcock, Steven Warren
