Patent number: 11796490Abstract: A spectrometer includes a crystal analyzer having a radius of curvature that defines a Rowland circle, a sample stage configured to support a sample such that the sample is offset from the Rowland circle, x-ray source configured to emit unfocused x-rays toward the sample stage, and a position-sensitive detector that is tangent to the Rowland circle. A method performed via a spectrometer includes emitting, via an x-ray source, unfocused x-rays toward a sample that is mounted on a sample stage such that the sample is offset from the Rowland Circle, thereby causing the sample to emit x-rays that impinge on the crystal analyzer or transmit a portion of the unfocused x-rays to impinge on the crystal analyzer; scattering, via the crystal analyzer, the x-rays that impinge on the crystal analyzer; and detecting the scattered x-rays via a position-sensitive detector that is tangent to the Rowland circle.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: University of WashingtonInventors: Gerald Todd Seidler, Oliver Hoidn, William Holden

Patent number: 10682023Abstract: The present invention provides a holder and dispenser of rolled products such as paper, plastic, foil, tape and other goods with magnetic resistance. The dispenser generally includes a base and a cage that supports the roll of material and rotates relative to the base. A magnetic resistance mechanism is generally located between the base and the cage. The magnetic resistance mechanism creates forces that act to resist rotation of the cage relative to the base.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2018Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Inventor: William Holden

Patent number: 9848183Abstract: A display system is configured to display a stereoscopic three dimensional relief effect in aerial space from a two dimensional image source. The display system has a reflector, having a generalized cylindrical concave surface. The two dimensional image source is arranged between the first side and the second side facing the generalized cylindrical concave surface. The reflector reflects light from the two dimensional image source outward as an aerial image. The aerial image exhibits the stereoscopic three dimensional relief effect. A support structure is operably connected to the reflector and the two dimensional image source. The reflector and the two dimensional image source are adapted to be individually rotated and tilted relative to one another while their position is physically secured.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2015Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Inventor: Roger William Holden

Patent number: 8757442Abstract: A spout for use with a container for dispensing a substance (e.g., a condiment) from the container such that any remaining substance exterior to the container adjacent the spout may be allowed to drain back into the container. A lid may be engaged with a container at an engagement portion. A spout portion of the lid that is positionable between a dispensing position and a storage position may define an orifice. The orifice may provide for communication between an interior volume of the container and an exterior of the container. Thus, the substance may be dispensed through the orifice. Furthermore, when in the storage position, the spout portion may direct any remaining substance on an exterior portion of the spout portion through the orifice and back into the container. Thus, a cleaner and more sanitary top of the container may be realized.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2012Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Holdenart, Inc.Inventor: William Holden
