Patent number: 6437141Abstract: A cyanine dye having the formula wherein R1-R8 are each independently selected from a group consisting of hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl group, and C0-C4 alkyl group having a hydrophilic substituent thereon. R11 and R12 are chosen to include a free or protected thiol, amine or hydroxyl substituent capable of reacting with a target molecule through a nucleophilic displacement mechanism. The dye is useful in labeling a variety of target molecules. Processes are described for synthesizing suitable heterocyclic and indole derivatives as precursors for the aforementioned cyanine dyes.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2001Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: NEN Life Science Products, Inc.Inventors: Malcolm Harry Randall, Philip Richard Buzby, Thomas Joseph Erickson, Joseph David Trometer, Joseph John Miller, Jr., David George Ahern, Mark Norman Bobrow

Patent number: 5730391Abstract: A body configuration for improving the fluid-dynamic performance efficiency of aircraft and watercraft comprises a generally conical upper segment (54) and a generally conical lower segment (56) that are joined at a common base plane (53), achieved by inverting the conical lower segment (56). The slopes of the conical surfaces are determined by the prescribed planform of the craft or vehicle and by the height of the conical segments wherein the height of the conical upper segment (h.sub.u) is less than and typically two-thirds that of the conical lower segment (h.sub.L). Although not limited to elliptical planforms, a generally circular planform (52) is preferred for a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft operating in the subsonic flight regime and an elliptical planform (68), with a large aspect ratio for takeoff and low-speed flight, then rotating to a low-aspect-ratio orientation for supersonic flight operation, is preferred for supersonic transport and single-stage-to-orbit type aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 1995Date of Patent: March 24, 1998Inventors: John A. Miller, Jr., William A. Losey, deceased, by Marion E. Losey, executor

Patent number: 4901762Abstract: A liquid-propellant tank for a spacecraft is symmetric about a longitudinal axis, and has a transverse partition (15) and a truncated conical partition (16), which divide the interior of the tank into a remote chamber (20), a proximate peripheral chamber (21) and a proximate axial chamber (22). Communication between the remote chamber (20) and the proximate peripheral chamber (21) is provided by a port structure (23), and communication between the proximate peripheral chamber (21) and the proximate axial chamber (22) is provided by a port structure (24). As liquid propellant is withdrawn from the tank, pressurant gas in the remote chamber (20) causes liquid propellant to pass from the remote chamber (20) into the proximate peripheral chamber (21) to replace liquid propellant thereby forced from the proximate peripheral chamber (21) into the proximate axial chamber (22), which replaces the liquid propellant withdrawn from the tank.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1988Date of Patent: February 20, 1990Assignee: Lockheed Missiles & Space Company, Inc.Inventors: John A. Miller, Jr., R. K. Grove

Patent number: 4790099Abstract: An ice fishing signaling and reporting device is disclosed having an audio alarm with a button for activating and deactivating the alarm. The button on said audio alarm is biased to its off position, and a cantilever is hingingly connected to the alarm for depressing the button, activating the alarm, when tension is applied to a fishing line guided over the cantilever.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1986Date of Patent: December 13, 1988Inventor: John Miller, Jr.
