Patent number: 11921107Abstract: Disclosed is an assay device which comprises a liquid sample addition zone, a reagent zone, a detection zone, and a wicking zone, all defining a fluid flow path. The device further comprises a reagent addition zone along and in fluid communication with the fluid flow path downstream of the sample addition zone and upstream of the detection zone. An interrupting wash is added at this reagent addition zone in accordance with the method of the subject invention to control sample volume. The interrupting wash fluid is added at a predetermined fill volume on the chip device and also serves to wash the detection channel and fill the remaining chip volume.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc.Inventors: Edward R.

Patent number: 7143217Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment may include receiving an indication that a first device has been granted access to a bus. In response, at least in part, to the indication, a signal may be provided that may result in the coupling of a signal line of a second device to the bus. After the provision of the signal, the first device may configure the second device. Of course, many modifications, variations, and alternatives are possible without departing from this embodiment.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2002Date of Patent: November 28, 2006Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Ralph Gundacker, Brian J. Skerry, James D. Warren

Patent number: 7000146Abstract: A memory system provides one or more control signals for configuring and controlling a memory sub-system during a power failure or system reset. A power delay circuit and a power fail controller cooperate to quickly place the memory system in a retention state in the event a power failure event is detected. The power delay circuit detects either a reset signal or power failure to initiate the memory retention state. The power delay circuit and power fail controller ensure the memory system is initialized prior to entering the retention state.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2001Date of Patent: February 14, 2006Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Richard P. Mackey, Richard P. Luckett, James D. Warren, Sailesh Bissessur

Patent number: 6502156Abstract: An input/output device on a bus may be controlled to enable advanced features such as RAID to be implemented on a system board which is not otherwise specially adapted in any fashion to implement such features. The system board need not include, in its basic configuration, a host bus adapter such as one using an I/O processor, or standard BIOS instructions which assist in the implementation of the advanced features. The advanced features may be implemented by plugging an appropriate host bus adapter into an appropriate bus slot to provide the advanced functionality. By using special logic and signals on the host bus adapter, the advanced functionality may be achieved in a platform independent system board implementation and without the added cost of an I/O device on the host bus adapter.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1999Date of Patent: December 31, 2002Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Stephen M. Sacker, James D. Warren

Patent number: 5604875Abstract: A cache SRAM connector assembly comprising a connector, a number of latches, and a number of high performance switches, is provided to a computer system. The connector removably connects either asynchronous or burst cache SRAM to a processor bus. The latches store cache access addresses being driven on a number of address lines of the processor bus. The high performance switches being coupled to both the latches and the address lines of the processor bus selectively provide the cache SRAM with latched access addresses as required by asynchronous cache SRAM or directly driven access addresses on the processor bus as required by burst cache SRAM.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 1994Date of Patent: February 18, 1997Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: George R. Munce, James D. Warren

Patent number: 5590026Abstract: A heat sink apparatus dissipates heat from an integrated circuit which is connected to a printed circuit board. A support member is connected to the circuit board for supporting the integrated circuit with respect to the circuit board. A metal tab in thermal communication with the integrated circuit extends from the support member in a plane substantially parallel to the circuit board. An electrically insulating thermally conductive compressible pad is positioned in contact with the metal tab for receiving heat from the tab when compressed. A thermally conductive housing is positioned adjacent the pad for compressing the pad against the tab and for receiving heat from the pad when compressed. The housing includes a plurality of fins extending therefrom for heat dissipation. A method for dissipating heat from an integrated circuit which is connected to a printed circuit board is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 1995Date of Patent: December 31, 1996Assignee: Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc.Inventors: James D. Warren, Carl R. Vogt, Charles D. Klooz
