Patent number: 11459128Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for foldable tube with unitary hinge are provided in accordance with various embodiments. Some embodiments include a device that may include one or more foldable tube sections configured to facilitate the deployment of an object with respect to an end portion of at least one of the one or more foldable tube sections; each of the one or more foldable tube sections may include one or more unitary hinge regions. The unitary hinge regions may include one or more longitudinal hinge regions configured to enable folding that is transverse to a primary axis of a respective foldable tube section. The unitary hinge regions may include a lateral hinge region configured to enable flattening that is parallel to a primary axis of a respective foldable tube section. Some embodiments may include a wire harness disposed within an interior portion of one or more foldable tube sections.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2019Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Roccor, LLCInventors: Philip Keller, William Francis, Tayler Thomas, Thomas Murphey, Todd Whitaker

Patent number: 10113343Abstract: Provided herein is a high intensity discharge light source having a thermally insulative and optically transparent sleeve for maintaining or enhancing a spectral performance parameter. The configuration of the sleeve provides an insulative volume that allows an elevated steady state operating temperature to be reached, even when the light source is cooled. The sleeve is also configured to withstand a bulb failure event, thereby protecting the surrounding environment from falling debris. Also provided herein are methods for dissipating heat from the light source without adversely affecting the bulb operating temperature or the enhanced spectral performance parameter.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2015Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Surna Inc.Inventors: Stephen Keen, Todd Whitaker, Jordan Johnson, Chris Pearson, Brady Schultz

Publication number: 20170142910Abstract: Provided herein are optical reflectors having a plurality of specially designed reflective surfaces and geometrical arrangement to provide improved illumination of a target area. Also provided are related methods for growing plants with the optical reflectors described herein. The reflective surfaces provide substantially normally aligned light over the entire target area, thereby minimizing shading issues of conventional optical reflectors. Also disclosed herein are efficient cooling by air and/or fluid that can substantially reduce cooling requirements by conventional air conditioning with attendant power savings.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2015Publication date: May 25, 2017Applicant: Surna Inc.Inventors: Jordan JOHNSON, Stephen KEEN, Chris PEARSON, Todd WHITAKER

Patent number: 7272323Abstract: A bi-directional (BiDi) electrical to optical converter (transceiver) module is described that contains means for communicating in a full duplex fashion over one fiber. Furthermore, an automatic fail-over capability is included which allows redundancy to be build in to the transceiver. In one configuration, a BiDi transceiver module contains two lasers at different wavelengths and a means for establishing which wavelength to communicate with. An example of an application for the described invention is a storage area network application which requires redundant links and are currently bound by the number of fibers connecting to the front panels of switches.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2003Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignee: Omron Network Products, LLCInventors: Eric B. Grann, Curtis A. Ray, Todd Whitaker, Michael J. Laha, Brian Peters

Patent number: 6608697Abstract: A preflight system has a printer profile database containing a list of problem document elements and a list of universal resource locator addresses. Each of the universal resource locator addresses is associated with at least one of the problem document elements. The preflight system also has an analyzer that compares document elements from a print file submitted by a print buyer with the problem document elements, in order to identify those document elements occurring in the print file that may cause a problem during printing. The analyzer then compiles a list of the universal resource locator addresses associated with problem document elements found in the print file.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2000Date of Patent: August 19, 2003Assignee: Extensis, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Schorr, Tara E. Starr, Raymond J. Marshall, Todd Whitaker, Blake L. Sliter
