Patent number: 9472322Abstract: An electrical cable includes a cable jacket extending a length and having an internal passageway that extends along the length of the cable jacket. Twisted pairs of insulated electrical conductors extend within the internal passageway along the length of the cable jacket. Each twisted pair includes two insulated conductors twisted together in a helical manner. At least two optical fibers extend within the internal passageway along the length of the cable jacket. The optical fibers are independently held within the internal passageway of the cable jacket relative to each other.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2015Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: CommScope Technologies LLCInventors: Herbert Virgil Congdon, II, Richard Walter Speer, Keith Wayne Hoover

Patent number: 8546693Abstract: A cable includes twisted pairs of insulated conductors. Each twisted pair includes two insulated conductors twisted together in a helical manner. The twisted pairs are grouped together to define a central core of the cable. An inner filler element is wrapped helically around the twisted pairs of the central core. An outer filler element is wrapped helically around the twisted pairs of the central core. The outer filler element is wrapped over the inner filler element.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2010Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Michael Thomas Gromko, Joseph Edward Geniac, Keith Wayne Hoover, Ralph S. Martin

Patent number: 5282486Abstract: A novel form of crutch is provided which can be used, particularly by paraplegics, to move between sitting and standing positions. The crutch includes a unique foot mechanism which gives added stability to the user of a pair of the crutches during such sitting/standing transitions, and which can be retracted so as to avoid interference with normal crutch-aided walking. A set of such powered crutches, incorporating both power extension/retraction and power foot adjustment, are capable of extended powered operation with on-board electrical power, and use power only for adjustment and are self-locking into adjusted positions. The power assist of the crutches are controllable from switches strategically located by the crutch handles so the user can manipulate the control switches without releasing his/her hold on the crutch handles. Also disclosed is a unique method of assisting disabled persons, using such crutches, to move between seated and standing positions without further assistance.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 1992Date of Patent: February 1, 1994Inventor: L.

Patent number: 4069157Abstract: A ceramic support having a multiplicity of parallel passageways therethrough, the passageways being coated with an ultrafiltration membrane, the support having a specific surface area to volume ratio and defined permeability characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1975Date of Patent: January 17, 1978Assignee: E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and CompanyInventors: Fred Wayne Hoover, Robert Earl Roberts

Patent number: 4032454Abstract: An apparatus useful for the separation of the components of fluid mixtures by means of pressure and a permselective membrane, applicable to reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, electrofiltration, and gaseous separation processes, comprises a shell, containing a porous body with multiple passages therethrough, with a selectively permeable membrane supported by at least a portion of the surfaces of the passages and a coating of either a semipermeable or a non-permeable material on all other surfaces except for areas left uncoated for egress of fluids from the porous body, means for passing a fluid mixture into contact with the surfaces of the body under pressure, and a conduit in fluid-tight relation to the membrane for removing fluids passing through the membrane from the porous body. Such an apparatus can be operated at high pressure because of the compressive stress exerted on the porous body when the shell is pressurized, and permits for advantageous ratios of membrane surface area to body volume.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1972Date of Patent: June 28, 1977Assignee: E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and CompanyInventors: Fred Wayne Hoover, Robert Earl Roberts
