Patent number: 10441493Abstract: A mobility device for assisting an individual with limited or altered mobility due to a leg injury or condition. The mobility device includes a rod that defines a longitudinal axis of the mobility device, a foot rest slidably mounted for longitudinal translation along the rod, a seat located at an upper end of the mobility device, and an impact-absorbing mechanism for absorbing impacts transferred from the seat to the rod. The device is configured for securing the thigh of the user's leg to the seat, and securing the foot of the user's leg to the foot rest.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Purdue Research FoundationInventors: Brett Francis Adams, Andrew Fan, Nikko George Sadural, Junyan Lim, Jeffrey John Cargill, Sameer Chetan Saiya

Patent number: 6417010Abstract: The present invention provides labeled synthetic libraries of random oligomers and methods and apparatus for generating labeled synthetic oligomer libraries. Each member of such a library is labeled with a unique identifier tag that specifies the structure or sequence of the oligomer. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention the identifier tag is a microchip that is pre-encoded or encodable with information that is related back to a detector when the identifier tag is pulsed with electromagnetic radiation.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 1999Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Discovery Partners InternationalInventors: John Cargill, Robert W. Armstrong

Patent number: 5770157Abstract: Methods and apparatus for the generation of chemical libraries are described. The preferred embodiments include a reaction block which uses replaceable reaction chambers supported in the block. Each reaction block is fitted with four sets of 12 reaction chambers, and has fittings that facilitate robotic manipulation. The reaction chambers are preferably fitted with a frit. An s-shaped trap tube snaps into a fitting on the bottom of each reaction chamber. The trap tube runs into a drain tube. The reaction block is fitted with gas (preferably N.sub.2) lines and a septum seal such that gas pressurization empties the reaction chambers into the drain tubes. The drain tubes are arranged so as to mate directly with a standard 96 well microtiter plate for the collection of material. A docking station provides for secure registration of the reaction blocks, and provides for introduction of gases and liquids into the reaction blocks.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1996Date of Patent: June 23, 1998Assignee: Ontogen CorporationInventors: John Cargill, Romaine R.
