Title: Phototherapy apparatus for hair, scalp and skin treatment
Inventor: TUCKER GAVIN
IPC: A61N5/06
Filed: 2010-09-17
Granted: 2015-07-02
Abstract: A wearable hands-free apparatus for providing phototherapy treatment to a number of hair, scalp and skin related conditions includes a head unit (e.g., a headset, headphones, headband, or helmet unit) with earphones to allow the user to listen to an audio program during a treatment. The head unit supports a light emitting canopy band that is fitted with an array of light generating sources, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes, or infrared lights, that emit light within a particular wavelength range correlating with the treatment of one or more specific hair, scalp and/or skin-related conditions. The light emitting canopy band is specifically designed to conform to the shape of the human scalp for providing complete, uniform and consistent light coverage to the areas of the scalp that are most commonly affected by hair loss in men and women. A handheld control device allows the user to select the desired treatment program and is adapted for connection to a digital audio player device, such as an MP3 player, for delivering audio signals to the earphones.

Title: Assembly and method for wide catch overshot
Inventor: STREATER JR JAMES R
IPC: E21B31/00
Filed: 2010-11-16
Granted: 2016-06-02
Abstract: A grapple for use in an overshot has a tension ring with a reduced helix diameter. However, the helix diameter is not reduced on either sides of the control finger slot to allow the grapple to remain in contact with the control. In the alternative, a composite helix member may be utilized. Another embodiment comprises the inclusion of expansion blades on the inner diameter ("ID") of the tension ring which allow the grapple to expand substantially before the fish reaches the segments. Another embodiment provides for a control with an offset finger to allow the guide thread ID to be smaller than the bowl helix major ID. Yet another embodiment provides a spiral grapple having grooves along its axis to provide the ability to catch a larger range of fish.

Title: System and method for fast discharge of a ring motor field
Inventor: MAZUMDAR JOY
IPC: H02P29/02
Filed: 2011-09-15
Granted: 2015-03-19
Abstract: High-power synchronous motors are commonly used in mining operations, for example, in gearless draglines, gearless conveyor drives, and gearless mill drives. Substantial electromagnetic energy is stored in the inductive field windings. In the event of a system fault, such as a short in the direct current power source exciting the field windings, the electromagnetic energy needs to be discharged from the field windings. This electromagnetic energy is typically dissipated as waste heat through a resistor. Disclosed is a field discharge system in which the electromagnetic energy is captured and stored as electrical energy in a capacitor. If an ultracapacitor bank is used for storage, the charged ultracapacitor bank can be used as a backup or auxiliary power source for mining operations. The discharge time is sufficiently small that high speed circuit breakers are not needed to disconnect stator windings from the alternating current power source when a fault occurs.
