  • Publication number: 20080193913
    Abstract: The use of diluent to reduce non-specific drug binding (NSB) provides a simple, flexible and biocompatible way to reduce chemical entity (such as drugs, drug candidates and other small molecules) NSB so that bioassay results may more closely predict the behavior of these compounds in vitro. Additionally, the use of diluent as the chemical entity diluent enhances the predictive nature of data emanating from high throughput drug assays such as Caco-2 drug transport assays, plasma protein drug binding assays, PAMPA assays, permeability assays, and drug solubility assays. The diluent is made by either filtering a selected plasma through an ultrafiltration membrane having nominal molecular weight cutoff of about 30 kD, preferably about 10 kD or below or by selectively adding individual components of a plasma or serum that do not contribute to non-specific binding.

  • Patent number: 7406632
    Abstract: A high-performance, high-reliable backplane bus has a simple configuration and operation. An error reporting network (ERN) provides an inexpensive approach to collecting the error state of a whole system in a uniform and consistent way. The uniformity allows for simpler interface software and for standardized hardware handling of classes of errors. In a preferred embodiment, serial error registers are used, minimizing implementation cost and making the software interface to the serial registers much easier. Serial error information is transferred over a separate data path from the main parallel bus, decreasing the chance of the original error corrupting the error information. Each CPU is provided with a local copy of the entire body of error information. The redundancy minimizes the impact of a possible CPU failure and allows the CPUs to coordinate error recovery.

  • Publication number: 20070290912
    Abstract: A digital pulsed phase locked loop (DPPLL) provides exact measurements of echo phase, time, and/or position delay as well as echo amplitude. These exact measurements provide better and more reliable results that directly benefit the many real world applications for the DPPLL. The DPPLL permits simultaneous tracking of multiple echo pulses and considerably improved echo selection and sampling.

  • Patent number: 7196290
    Abstract: A heat sealer having a heated platen, a cylinder for reciprocating the platen, a die positioned to be engaged by the platen and a shuttle supporting the die to move the die from a platen-engaging position to a non-engaging position, and a control for controlling the temperature of the platen and the force applied to the platen against the die by the cylinder. The invention also includes a temperature sensor for sensing the surface temperature of the platen and a load sensor for sensing the force applied by the platen to the die. In one embodiment, the temperature sensor is an infrared temperature sensor that reads the surface temperature of the platen and the load sensor is a load cell positioned beneath the die and supporting the die so that the load sensors can measure the direct force applied by the platen against the die. Also, in one embodiment, the infrared sensor is positioned beneath the die so that it can read the platen temperature when the die is displaced to the non-engaging position.

  • Publication number: 20070062289
    Abstract: Acoustic weight or mass sensing technology (referred to here as Acoustic Weigh In Motion (AWIN)) provides accurate weighing of any type of moving load moving over a load bearing medium. Acoustic transducers are affixed to or embedded in the load bearing medium. One or more source acoustic transducers propagate an acoustic wave over an acoustic path through the medium between the source and receiver transducers when the medium is in an unloaded state. The wave is detected at one or more receiving acoustic transducers. A propagation time delay is determined for the unloaded state. When a moving load travels over the acoustic path in the medium, the acoustic propagation time delay for that loaded state is determined. The difference between the acoustic propagation time delays for the unloaded and loaded states is determined. That acoustic propagation time delay difference is used to determine the weight or mass of the moving load.

  • Publication number: 20070016038
    Abstract: A method of measuring bone strength under dynamic loading is provided using an ultrasonic probe wave sensor to sense a low-frequency pump wave and an ultrasonic probe wave implemented to the bone. The bone is cyclically loaded with compressional and rarefactional pump waves, and probed with the probe wave that is timed according to the pump wave to determine the wave velocity of the probe wave. Bone strength is interpreted by measuring wave velocity changes during the pump wave cycles. Ultrasonic velocity derivatives are used to determine bone third-order (nonlinear) elastic constants that are linked to bone strength. High-resolution second-order (linear) elastic constants are provided through measurement of absolute phase velocity. A pulsed phase lock loop is locked at intervals as the probe wave phase is modulated over 360 degrees providing probe wave harmonic numbers that are correlated with the pump wave frequency to determine the probe wave velocity.

  • Publication number: 20060112902
    Abstract: A fitting stand including a frame arrangement, a platform, and a wheel arrangement. The wheel arrangement includes front and rear wheel assemblies. The frame arrangement is configured to pivot the platform between a lowered position and a raised position. In the lowered position, a base frame of the frame arrangement is lifted from the ground such that the only the front and rear wheel assemblies contact the ground to provide transportation of the fitting stand when either loaded or unloaded. In the raised position, legs of the frame arrangement contact the ground such that the front and rear wheel assemblies are lifted off the ground.

  • Publication number: 20060100829
    Abstract: The present invention employs a generative approach for configuring systems such that a system may be configured based on component or resource requests, or input in the form of need. The present invention provides a constraint-based configuration system using a structural model hierarchy. The structural aspects of the model provide the ability to define a model element as being contained in, or by, another model element. In addition, the structural model provides the ability to identify logical datatype and physical interconnections between elements and establish connections between elements. To configure a system, the present invention accepts input in the form of requests (e.g., component or resource) or needs, such as an expression of a need for a desktop computer system to be used in a CAD (i.e., computer-aided design) environment.

  • Publication number: 20050266577
    Abstract: The combination of a supported UF membrane having low non-specific binding (NSB) and high protein retention of the tested chemical entity (CE) in a device that is SBS complaint. The membrane is heat sealed to form one or more integral wells that are used to reduce NSB and improve protein retention and provides a simple, flexible way to reduce CE, such as drug and drug candidate (and other small molecule) NSB so that drug binding studies may more closely predict the behavior of these compounds in vivo.
