Patent number: 10465724Abstract: A simplified and improved pistonless cylinder based on an Aramid fiber reinforced elastomer tubular which is highly stiff in radial direction against radial expansion and elastic in axial extension, so as to form a completely sealed and extendable pressure chamber and to be able to perform as well as, or better than, most of the conventional hydraulic cylinders in terms of load bearing capacities, maximum stroke distances and service durability. This simplified cylinder employs no piston, piston rod, sealing seals or oil based hydraulic fluid, and utilizes non-metal materials to construct the majority of the parts for its extendable pressure chamber; therefore, this new cylinder can achieve significant weight and fabrication cost reduction. In addition, this new pistonless cylinder uses ordinary liquids, e.g., fresh water or seawater, as its hydraulic fluid, and can work directly as a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder interchangeably without a need for much, if any, modification.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2018Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Inventors: James J. Lee, William W. Lee

Patent number: 10145081Abstract: This invention discloses a new type of force bearing cylinder which does not use any piston and its related parts for pushing/pulling its stroke. The pistonless cylinder uses ordinary liquids, e.g., fresh water or seawater, as its hydraulic fluid. The pistonless cylinder can work as a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder interchangeably without a need for any modification, and is basically maintenance free during its service life. As one example of its applications, the disclosed pistonless cylinder can be used for deepwater pile grippers in offshore platform installation.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2017Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Inventors: James J. Lee, William W. Lee

Patent number: 8230388Abstract: The Smart Generator of the present invention allows the designer/developer/user to model the EJB components in a natural way without being concerned with implementation-specific details. The developer models the business objects using a UML drawing tool and the Smart Generator creates a set of classes that implements these objects with reference to the Enterprise JavaBeans specification. That is, the Smart Generator automatically create access methods and handling containment of references from the UML diagram.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2008Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: William W.

Patent number: 6828321Abstract: A method of using 1,2,4-benzotriazine oxides, some of which are novel compounds, as radiosensitizers and selective cytotoxic agents is disclosed. These compounds are shown to specifically radiosensitize hypoxic tumor cells. Some are additionally disclosed to be useful as specific cytotoxic agents for these cells. They also show an unexpected ability to radiosensitize aerobic cells following or preceding a hypoxic incubation of the cells with the drug. This provides a basis for selective radiosensitization of tumors compared to normal cells. A novel method for preparing the 1,2,4-benzotriazine oxides is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2001Date of Patent: December 7, 2004Assignee: SRI InternationalInventors: William W. Lee, J. Martin Brown, Edward W. Grange, Abelardo P. Martinez, Michael Tracy, Daniel J. Pollart
