Patent number: 11805769Abstract: Packages of insects are attached to a carrier cylinder and the cylinder is rotated in a radiation field so that the packaged insects are sterilized. The radiation field is created by a plurality of x-ray tubes mounted above the carrier cylinder. The tubes (and their respective radiation sources) are positioned so that a consistent radiation dosage is delivered at the surface of the cylinder—thereby imparting both a precise and uniform dose of radiation to the insect packages affixed to the surface of the cylinder.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2020Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventors: Ronald P. Haff, Eric S. Jackson, Robert M. Hnasko

Patent number: 11415578Abstract: The bio sensor platform is a rapid point-of-care (POC) device wherein detection of a target analyte from a liquid or solid substrate is performed in a single step using a fully integrated disposable test system that includes a test strip immunoassay. In operation, a user initiates the test by rupturing the bottom of a liquid-filled analyte capsule seated in a capsule sleeve. A small volume of liquid flows by capillary action from the capsule sleeve and through a restrictor port to a test strip chamber where contact with the absorptive sample pad of the test strip (among other things) moves liquid by capillary action upwardly through the test strip. The detection of the target analyte is resolved by the test strip reagents and the test results are obtained at a test result window where a portion of the test strip is exposed to the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2019Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventors: Robert M. Hnasko, Eric S. Jackson, Ronald P. Haff, Susan Uramoto

Publication number: 20210276006Abstract: The biosensor platform is a rapid point-of-care (POC) device wherein detection of a target substance is performed in a single step using a fully integrated disposable biosensor test system. In one embodiment, the system comprises a horizontally oriented multi-strip test cassette. A user initiates the test by depositing an analyte onto an immunochromatographic test strip sandwiched between a (top) cassette lid and a (bottom) slotted cassette tray. The test strip is held in place by at least one horizontally extending self-adjusting flex plate. The system is structured so that as the analyte flows through the test strip, the analyte reacts with a reagent in the test strip to indicate a presence or absence of the targeted substance as the test strip is held in place by the self-adjusting flex plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Inventors: Robert M. Hnasko, RONALD P. HAFF, ERIC S. JACKSON

Patent number: 8919280Abstract: An apparatus and method for sterile insect technique comprising a plurality of x-ray sources surrounding a container containing insects targeted for reproductive sterilization, wherein the container is at an optimized distance from the x-ray sources, moves at a fixed rate along a direction perpendicular to a plane intersecting the x-ray sources, and rotates about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axes of said x-ray sources.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventors: Ronald P. Haff, Eric S. Jackson

Patent number: 8667047Abstract: A system and method are provided for monitoring traffic in an enterprise network. Similar hosts may be grouped using flow information. Network policy may then be created at the group level based on the signatures of the hosts and groups of hosts in the enterprise. Hosts may be arranged in hierarchical clusters. Some of these clusters may be selected as groups based on a desired degree of similarity between hosts in a group. The similarity between hosts may be determined based on similarity of network behavior of the hosts.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2008Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Arbor NetworksInventors: Eric S. Jackson, Douglas J. Song, Lawrence Benjamin Fleis, Aidan Christopher Dysart, Gerald R. Malan
