Patent number: 10327351Abstract: An arrangement for mounting and supporting a plurality of cylindrical form or other computer systems, for example Apple Mac Pro cylindrical form computer systems, in a data center so as to optimize cooling air flow, access to cabling, and maximized use of space. A plurality of shelf assemblies is mounted to a computer center rack. Each shelf assembly comprises a tray that supports a pair of slidable sleds. Each sled supports a cylindrical form computer enclosure in an axially horizontal configuration, and includes a sled face that exposes a top surface of a computer enclosure. Air flow perforations in the sled face direct air into the space behind the sled face and across a mounted computer enclosure. The tray and sled provides a convenient arrangement for power and communications cabling, as well as directs a cooling air flow through openings in the trays and sleds upwardly across computer enclosures.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: MACSTADIUM, INC.Inventors: Gregory P. McGraw, Michael A. Landreth

Patent number: 10288891Abstract: Integrating rod modules are disclosed comprising a plurality of single and/or solid integrating rods that are mated together by straps. Such modules tend to comprise a greater length than the single and/or solid integrating rods and provide good illumination to a modulator that light from a light source is transmitted through the integrating rod module. The straps may comprise a material (e.g., glass) that has substantially same or similar thermal characteristics as the integrating rods. The straps may be glued to the integrating rods by a glue having a substantially different (e.g., lower) index of refraction than the integrating rods, so as not to disturb the internal reflectance of the rods. The straps may be reinforced by braces that may allow the integrating rod module to be set within a projection display system at an angle substantially different from horizontal.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2015Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Duane Scott Dewald, Nathan Wainwright, Douglas J. Gorny, Martin J. Richards

Patent number: 10215308Abstract: A device for securing at least one pipe of a building is provided. The device has a first generally curved clamp which secures a first pipe and a first generally flat surface. The first generally flat surface may be secured directly to a stud of a wall or the device may not be secured to a stud and instead may be merely secured to the first pipe so that additional pipes may be secured to the first pipe. The first generally flat surface has an extended second generally flat surface having openings which may receive additional clamps for securing at least a second and/or a third pipe clamp. The second and/or third clamps may be located on the opposing side of the device as the first generally curved clamp. In an embodiment, the second and/or third generally curved clamps may rotate three hundred and sixty-five degrees so as to secure the second and/or third pipe in, for example, a parallel or perpendicular orientation with respect to the first pipe.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2017Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: HAP TECHNOLOGIES CO.Inventor: Tomas Bartos

Patent number: 9999568Abstract: The present invention is an alignment device for a bag containing one or more ports. The alignment device is attached to either the one or more ports or to the bag adjacent the one or more ports. The plate has an indicator or a unique outer edge shape that is designed to fit into a corresponding unique opening in a holder to ensure proper alignment of the bag and its port(s) in the holder. The plate is has a series of holes equal to and in alignment with the one or more ports of the bag and the port(s) extend through the holes of the plate.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2016Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: EMD Millipore CorporationInventors: James Hobson, James Austin, Boris Pesakovich, Elias G. Noukas, Thomas Janko, Shaun McMahon

Patent number: 9835272Abstract: Each spaced apart support for a cable run in a preferred form includes a hook having a relatively narrower width along the direction of the cable run. A respective extender attached above each hook has a greater length along the cable run than the width of the support in the direction of the cable run, and the extenders thereby provide extended support for cable resting on the extenders along the cable run. Each extender has a slight downward curvature. The opposite ends of each extender have a sharp downward curvature so that the extenders will support resting cable passing over the supports and avoid damage to the cable passing off the extender. A plurality of the supports may be spaced apart at a greater interval such that the longitudinal ends of adjacent extenders are spaced apart defining an acceptable length gap over which the cable run passes.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2016Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: MONOSYSTEMS, INC.Inventor: Jordan Handler
