Patent number: 11500187Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and structures for broadband phase shifting for quantitative phase microscopy (QPI) that advantageously allows for a greater useable wavelength range for QPI wherein either/both illumination paths and/or scatter paths: 1) propagate through a reflective objective; 2) become quantifiably phase-shifted utilizing broadband mirror surfaces; 3) attenuate the relatively bright illumination paths to maximize contrast; and 4) recombine at a sensor plane for quantitative analysis.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Massachussets Institute of TechnologyInventor: William Hubbard

Patent number: 11384540Abstract: A beam connecting system uses a threaded connector rod and a mating connector, for example a nut, for mounting the end of a wood beam against the upright supporting surface of a supporting body. The connector rod protrudes from the upright supporting surface of the supporting body to be received in a fastener bore extending longitudinally into the beam from the end face of the beam. A transverse access bore which intersects the fastener bore receives the mating connector to form a mechanical connection to fasten the end face of the beam against the upright supporting surface. A wood plug encloses the access bore such that the mechanical connection is fully embedded in the beam and supporting body so as to be surrounded by wood material, and thus be protected from elevated temperatures in fire condition.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Inventors: Cory William Hubbard, Osama Salem

Publication number: 20210253451Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling and isolating ion generation from target metal ion precipitation and flocculation rely on an ion generator and a precipitation reactor distinct, separated, optimized, and otherwise independent from each other as to flow regime and contained fluid at all times. No co-habitation of ion generation and precipitation nor their flow regimes is permitted in a single unit. Plug flow at hyper turbulence in the ion generator contrasts with quiescent to laminar flows in the precipitation reactor. Insulating coatings and uneven surface retreat (decay, sacrifice, removal) at sacrificial anodes are replaced by a uniform, electro-machined, anodic surface by controlling against conventional “over driving” of ionizing currents. A precipitation reactor is optimized by a dwell time effective to precipitate and flocculate heavy target metal precipitants and sacrificial ions relying on weak forces therein, overwhelmed by inertial forces in the ion generator upstream.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2021Publication date: August 19, 2021Inventors: C. Michael Miller, David A. Bell, Mark William Hubbard, Richard Rosier

Patent number: 10811871Abstract: An improved low profile surge protector is provided that minimizes the space necessary between powered devices and power sources. The present invention provides protection for overvoltage events while using existing, standard household outlets and allows for slimmer devices to mount as close as possible to a wall without leaving unappealing gaps between the device and the wall.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2016Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Inventors: Anthony G. Gondor, William Hubbard Carter

No co-habitation of ion generation and precipitation nor their flow regimes is permitted in a single unit. Plug flow at hyper turbulence in the ion generator contrasts with quiescent to laminar flows in the precipitation reactor. Coating sacrificial anodes is avoided by avoiding over driving currents for ionization at the anode. A precipitation reactor is optimized by a dwell time effective to precipitate and flocculate heavy target metal precipitants and sacrificial ions relying on weak forces not tolerated by inertial forces in the ion generator.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2014Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: THOUGHT PRESERVE, LLCInventors: C.
