Finkel
Alan David Finkel, Tempe, AZ US
| Patent application number | Description | Published |
|---|---|---|
| 20080252149 | AC/DC converter having single detectable input - An AC/DC input power converter including only a single input cable such that a user will never have to switch cabling, regardless if the cable is connected to an AC voltage source or a DC voltage source. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20090028985 | Baffle for Coolant Passages in Plastic Injection Molds - An baffle plug comprising a base and a blade extending therefrom. The baffle plug is used in a bore to divide the bore into longitudinally extending passages and cause the liquid to flow serially back and forth through the bore. The blade may comprise various fluid directing structures providing for efficient fluid flow across the surfaces of the blade. The blade may also comprise one or more structures which create turbulent flow of the fluid flowing across the surface of the blade. | 01-29-2009 |

| 20100101899 | BRAKE CALIPER INCLUDING HEAT PIPES - A brake caliper including a caliper body and heat pipes at least partially embedded within the caliper body. The caliper body includes spaced inboard and outboard portions. In addition, at least one of the portions includes piston bores. The caliper body further includes a connector between the inboard and outboard portions whose spacing permits brake pads and a periphery of a brake rotor to be received between the inboard and outboard portions. Also, the brake caliper includes pistons disposed in the piston bores to press the brake pads against the periphery of the brake rotor when brake fluid moves the pistons and the brake pads toward the brake rotor. As the brake pads heat the brake caliper, the heat pipes transfer heat away from the piston bores thereby cooling the brake caliper and brake fluid in, around, or near the piston bores. | 04-29-2010 |

| 20110245708 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR HUMAN ALGOMETRY - An apparatus and method for performing human algometry are disclosed. They include a stimulator configured to apply electrical stimulation of variable intensity to an area of a patient's body, a monitoring device configured to measure a. level of cortical activity in one or more regions of the patient's brain, and a microprocessor connected to the stimulator and the monitoring device that is configured to correlate the intensity of the electrical stimulation with the level of activity in the one or more regions of the patient's brain and to determine at least one of a measurement of pain intensity, a measurement of a sensory detection threshold (SDT), a measurement of a drug's analgesic impact, an indication of an onset of tolerance to a drug, an indication of an onset of analgesic-induced hyperalgesia, an indication of conditions of allodynia, a measurement of dose-response characteristics of pain management drugs, and a characterization of a pain condition. | 10-06-2011 |

| 20110276248 | CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ENGINE EXHAUST BACK PRESSURE - A control system for an engine includes a restriction determination module and a valve control module. The restriction determination module determines a desired exhaust back pressure of the engine based on an exhaust flow rate of the engine. The valve control module selectively adjusts a valve position of an exhaust valve that restricts an exhaust flow of the engine based on the desired exhaust back pressure. The exhaust valve may include a valve body, a throttle plate, and an annular protrusion coupled to an inner surface of the valve body and protruding towards the throttle plate. The annular protrusion may abut a side of the throttle plate and may restrict fluid flow through an annular space between the throttle plate and the inner surface when the throttle plate is positioned in a rotational position transverse to a direction of fluid flow. A related method is also provided. | 11-10-2011 |

| 20090055106 | METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING USING A SMART SENSOR SYSTEM - The structural health monitoring method of the present invention utilizes a sensor system to determine information about deformation, stress and/or damage in structural elements. The sensor system and the method employ at least one sensor which comprises a material having fully-reversible nonlinear elasticity. The method comprises associating at least one sensor including a material having fully-reversible nonlinear elasticity with a structural element in a manner whereby stress is transferred from said structural element to said sensor, propagating ultrasound through a portion of the sensor, receiving the ultrasound which has been propagated through at least a portion of the sensor and determining information about the structural element from attenuation and/or time of flight of said received ultrasound. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20110154903 | METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING USING A SMART SENSOR SYSTEM - The structural health monitoring method of the present invention utilizes ultrasound to determine information about deformation, stress and/or damage in structural elements. The method propagates ultrasound through at least a portion of a material having fully-reversible nonlinear elasticity, receives the ultrasound which has been propagated through at least a portion of the material and determining information about the structural element from attenuation and/or time of flight of said received ultrasound. | 06-30-2011 |
