Publication number: 20230080444Abstract: A device for treatment of cells with particles is disclosed. The device includes a semi-permeable membrane positioned between two plates, the first plate defining a first flow chamber and comprising a port, a flow channel, a transverse port, and a transverse flow channel, the first flow chamber constructed and arranged to deliver fluid in a transverse direction along the first side of the semi-permeable membrane, the second plate defining a second flow chamber and comprising a port. A method for transducing cells is disclosed. The method includes introducing a fluid with cells and viral particles into a flow chamber adjacent a semi-permeable membrane such that the cells and the viral particles are substantially evenly distributed on the semi-permeable membrane. The method also includes introducing a recovery fluid to suspend the cells and the viral particles, and separating the cells from the viral particles. A method of activating cells is disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Kenneth T. Kotz, Bryan D. Teece, James Gillett Truslow, Nathan Francis Moore, Jeffrey T. Borenstein, Vishal Tandon

Patent number: 7525404Abstract: A vent assembly is provided for allowing internal contaminants to exit a solenoid. The vent assembly includes a vent membrane interposed between a gasket and a support. The support may have a variable diameter. The vent assembly attaches to the solenoid via a mating cover of the solenoid, which includes a vent opening that aligns with an opening in the gasket and includes a counter bore that captures the gasket. The vent assembly allows contaminants to exit the solenoid through a vent membrane. It also prevents contaminants from entering the solenoid around the vent membrane without the use of injection molding.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2004Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: Remy Inc.Inventors: Richard Larimore, James Gillett, Dong Ju Park

Publication number: 20080107953Abstract: A fuel cell generator including a housing defining a plurality of chambers including a generator chamber having first and second generator sections. A plurality of elongated fuel cells extend through the first and second generator sections. An oxidant supply supplies oxidant to at least one of the chambers within the housing in order to provide oxidant to one end of each of the fuel cells. A fuel distribution plenum extends transversely to the elongated fuel cells and is located between the first and second generator sections. The fuel distribution plenum distributes fuel to the first and second generator sections in opposing directions within the generator chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2007Publication date: May 8, 2008Applicant: SIEMENS POWER GENERATION, INC.Inventors: Robert Draper, Paolo Zafred, James Gillett, Arun Iyengar, Raymond George, Gianfranco DiGiuseppe

Publication number: 20040114731Abstract: A telephone system is described in which subscriber telephones store appearance models for the appearance of a party to the telephone call, from which it synthesises a video sequence of that party from a set of appearance parameters received from the telephone network. The appearance parameters may be generated either from a camera associated with the user's phone or may be generated from text or speech signals input by that party.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2003Publication date: June 17, 2004Inventors: Benjamin James Gillett, Charles Stephen Wiles, Mark Jonathan Williams, Gary Michael Sleet

Patent number: 6240182Abstract: A telephone set having a reversible base which can be rotated to facilitate desktop or wall mounting. The reversible base includes tabs which are inserted into slots in a housing, the housing having a first pair of slots oriented for installation of the base in a desktop configuration and a second pair of slots oriented for installation of the base in a wall-mount configuration. Positive locking is achieved by a set of ramps and a protrusion adjacent to each slot, such that a tab sides up the ramps and over the protrusion to lock into place.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 1998Date of Patent: May 29, 2001Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: James Gillett, Francisco Javier Ramirez Aldana
