Patent number: 11934055Abstract: A privacy glazing structure may include an electrically controllable optically active material that provides controlled transition between a privacy or scattering state and a visible or transmittance state. To make electrical connections with electrode layers that control the optically active material, the privacy glazing structure may include electrode engagement regions. In some examples, the electrode engagement regions are formed as notches in peripheral edges of opposed panes bounding the optically active material. The notches may or may not overlap to provide a through conduit in the region of overlap for wiring. In either case, the notches may allow the remainder of the structure to have a flush edge surface for ease of downstream processing.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Cardinal IG CompanyInventors: Eric Berner, Eric Bjergaard, Timothy Braun, Andrew DeMiglio, Chad Peters

A connection bracket is located in the internal chamber and includes a first spindle bracket and a second spindle bracket. The first spindle bracket has a first recess and the second spindle bracket has a second recess. A cuff roll assembly includes a first spindle located in the first recess and a second spindle located in the second recess. The first spindle is spaced from the second spindle. A roll of pressure cuffs includes a plurality of pressure cuffs that are sequentially connected and wrapped around the first spindle and the second spindle. The plurality of pressure cuffs each include a first connection strip that is formed of hooks and a second connection strip that is formed of loops. The loops are formed of non-woven polyethylene terephthalate spunlace material.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Aaron R. Burnham, Megan Mary Burkarski, Carlos Suarez, Timothy Braun, James Cappon

Patent number: 11135445Abstract: A problem of incomplete inhibition of harmful cells/bacteria and short duration of time, after the photodynamic treatment, during which such cells may re-grow, is solved by exposing the target bacteria with a multi-component photosensitizer material formed by adding a predetermined potentiating chemical to a conventional single-component photosensitizer at the target, prior to irradiating the target with light. The multi-component photosensitizer is effectuated by forming a mix of the two chemical compositions or by sequential exposure of the bacteria to a single-component photosensitizer and the potentiating chemical of choice.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2019Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: The General Hospital CorporationInventors: Daniela Vecchio, Michael R.
