High Throughput Ultrasonic Cleaner For Irradiated Nuclear Fuel Assemblies

View page
US Patent:
7134441, Nov 14, 2006
Filed:
Jul 29, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/628559
Inventors:
David Gross - Bethesda MD, US
David Arguelles - Washington DC, US
Brian Lipford - Bel Air MD, US
Assignee:
Dominion Engineering, Inc. - Reston VA
International Classification:
B08B 3/00
B08B 3/12
US Classification:
134169R, 134110, 134111
Abstract:
A passive assembly for operating two cleaning chambers using a single filtration system having a flow diverter assembly is disclosed. The flow diverter assembly is actuated by a fuel assembly when a fuel assembly is inserted into the cleaning chamber. The flow diverter assembly acts so that each cleaning chamber is supplied with suction flow whenever there is a fuel assembly in the cleaning chamber. When a cleaning chamber is empty, the flow diverter acts to block the suction flow from the filtration system, forcing suction flow through the opposite cleaning chamber. The flow diverter only provides suction head to a cleaning chamber when there is a fuel assembly in the cleaning chamber. When both cleaning chambers are empty, suction pressure from the pump increases to the point that the flow diverters in both chambers open sufficiently to maintain flow through the pumps and prevent the pumps from cavitating.

Secure Bag Assembly For A Lockable Removable Cassette

US Patent:
7837095, Nov 23, 2010
Filed:
Dec 27, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/616775
Inventors:
Robert J. Clauser - Columbus NJ, US
Stephen R. Watrous - Moravia NY, US
John D. Snider - West Chester PA, US
David Blasko - Trappe PA, US
Chad Schneider - Baltimore MD, US
Brian Lipford - Bel Air MD, US
Joel Price - Chevy Chase MD, US
Neil M. Young - Downingtown PA, US
Assignee:
MEI, Inc. - West Chester PA
International Classification:
G06Q 40/00
G07D 11/10
G07F 19/00
US Classification:
235379, 235375, 194350
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided relating to a secure bag assembly to secure cash in transit (“CIT”). In some implementations, the secure bag assembly is installed in a lockable, removable cassette that is fitted to a bill validator. The cassette and bill validator can be installed in an enclosure like those found in retail kiosks, self-checkout terminals, retail safes or gaming machines. In such an implementation, bank notes are deposited in the bill validator and once identified and validated, are securely stacked in the bag assembly within the cassette. The bag assembly can be used for capacities of one banknote up to the maximum capacity allowed by the cassette. The bag assembly is secured in place when installed and is sealed automatically upon removal from the cassette.

Iv Regulator With Integral Flushing Mechanism

View page
US Patent:
7976515, Jul 12, 2011
Filed:
Oct 15, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/974586
Inventors:
Todd Murphy - Baltimore MD, US
Christopher Klassen - Jacksonville FL, US
Eric Schneider - Catonsville MD, US
Brian Lee Lipford - Bel Air MD, US
International Classification:
A61M 5/00
A61M 5/14
US Classification:
604250, 604251
Abstract:
The present invention describes IV regulators that allow interruption of normal controlled-flow for a safe and convenient bolus flush, either for a specific period of time or for a specific volume of saline flush. Two time-controlled IV regulators are shown, one employing a pneumatic cylinder counter-opposed by elastic band(s) for administering a bolus flush, and one employing a compressible lever and torsion spring counter-opposed by a rotary damper. In both cases the mechanisms disengage the roller-clamp from the IV tube for a predetermined amount of time to fully open fluid flow there through for a bolus flush before return to the regulated-flow position. The volume-controlled flow regulator employs two internal bladders and allows one bladder to fill while the other bladder drains (and vice versa) by flipping a slider paddle-type toggle, thus enabling the administration of a set volume of flush fluid.

US Patent:
20030172737, Sep 18, 2003
Filed:
Mar 12, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/107852
Inventors:
Donald Ginesi - Lakeland FL, US
Donald Augenstein - Pittsburgh PA, US
Keith Bergstrom - Herminie PA, US
Calvin Hastings - Pittsburgh PA, US
Christopher Laird - Pittsburgh PA, US

A method for obtaining information about fluid in a pipe.

Kitchen Ventilation Degreasing System

View page
US Patent:
20050178378, Aug 18, 2005
Filed:
Jan 5, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/029994
Inventors:
John Marshall - Fallston MD, US
Joe Way - Abingdon MD, US
Keith Lipford - Severna Park MD, US
Brian Lipford - Bel Air MD, US
International Classification:
F24C015/20
US Classification:
12629900D, 12629900R
Abstract:
The present invention is a permanently installed automatic kitchen ventilation degreasing system. The system includes a cascading cleaning mechanism and drainage mechanism. A water feed tube carries water and cleaning agents to a conduit secured and centered within the ventilation ducts. The water and cleaning agents are sprayed in a cascading manner along the inner surface of the duct by spray nozzles located on nozzle blocks spaced at intervals along the conduit. The flow of solvent or rinse water through the nozzles is controlled by solenoid valves which are controlled by a programmable controller. The liquid run off is collected by a deflector and drained.

Adjustable Sacral Mesh Fixation Device And Method

View page
US Patent:
20100179575, Jul 15, 2010
Filed:
Nov 10, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/590594
Inventors:
Walter Von Pechmann - Bethesda MD, US
Samuel C. Yoon - Clarksville MD, US
Keith Lipford - Baltimore MD, US
Brian Lipford - Bel Air MD, US
Austin Cox - Silver Spring MD, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/00
US Classification:
606151
Abstract:
A sacral mesh fixation device and method of use for sacral colpopexy. The sacral mesh fixation device comprises multiple hinged sections pivoted together at opposite ends and adapted to clamp one or more strips of sacral mesh there between. A latching mechanism is provided for releasably latching the opposing sections shut, thereby releasably clamping the sacral mesh to allow verification of tension. A sequential latching mechanism is provided to fixedly lock the fixation device to the sacral mesh by latching the remaining section to the prior sections. At least one of the sections may be sutured to tissue and the sacral mesh inserted between the sections and releasably clamped in place, thereby releasably affixing the mesh to the tissue or fixedly locking the mesh to the device thereby permanently locking the mesh to the tissue. To use the device, a single mesh fixation device or a plurality of mesh fixation devices may be introduced through a trocar into the abdomen, positioned in a single or supporting array, and sutured to surrounding tissue. The sacral mesh is then clamped between opposing sections of the mesh fixation device(s), thereby temporarily suspending the mesh in a sling. However, the fixation devices can be reopened to facilitate easy readjustment and repositioning of the mesh sling to achieve the proper tension and position or fixedly locked for permanent support of the mesh.

Table-Mounted Surgical Instrument Stabilizers

US Patent:
20130048818, Feb 28, 2013
Filed:
Aug 20, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/589439
Inventors:
Walter Von Pechmann - Bethesda MD, US
Samuel C. Yoon - Clarksville MD, US
Ben Lane - Phoenix MD, US
Keith Lipford - Baltimore MD, US
Brian Lipford - Bel Air MD, US
Assignee:
COOPERSURGICAL, INC. - Trumbull CT
International Classification:
F16M 13/02
US Classification:
2482761
Abstract:
A surgical instrument stabilizer system that includes an articulating boom that is releasably connectable to a surgical table side rail. The articulating boom includes an actuator, a multi-directional flexible arm having a first end region attached to the actuator, and a cable extending through the flexible arm. The cable has one end region connected to the actuator and another end region connected to a preload tensioning mechanism. The actuator is operable to tighten and loosen the cable, and the preload tensioning mechanism maintains an amount of tension in the cable when the actuator loosens the cable. The system further includes a surgical instrument-supporting member that is attached to a second end region of the flexible arm and is configured to releasably retain a surgical instrument.
