Patent number: 11752246Abstract: A dialysate mixing machine may be configured to make dialysate on demand using, among other things, a plurality of concentrates in solid tablet form. For example, a prescription may be received by the dialysate mixing machine indicating the particular chemical constituents and amounts of each chemical constituent to be included in the dialysate. Based on the prescription, the dialysate mixing machine can determine the number of tablets required for each chemical constituent (and, e.g., the required amounts of other chemical constituents that are not in tablet form). The tablets are automatically dispensed and mixed with purified water, bicarbonate, and sodium chloride in a mixing chamber to produce the dialysate according to the prescription. The dialysate mixing machine may be used with and/or coupled to a dialysis machine (e.g., a hemodialysis (HD) machine designed for home use) to provide the dialysate on demand for a dialysis treatment.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2021Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Shashikant Dattatraya Kalaskar, Justin Clark, Tao Jiang

Publication number: 20220340882Abstract: One aspect of the invention provides a method of generating bacteriophages adapted to infect a target bacterial strain. The method comprises: providing host bacteria that are susceptible to phage as input to a host chemostat containing phage; providing target bacteria that are related to the host bacteria, but not susceptible to phage as input to a target chemostat containing phage; filtering outflows from the host chemostat and the target chemostat to isolate phage from the populations of the host bacteria, the target bacteria, and macromolecules; combining the outflows; and introducing the combined outflow into each of the host chemostat and the target chemostat.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2020Publication date: October 27, 2022Applicant: Baylor College of MedicineInventors: Justin Clark, Sabrina Green, Keiko Salazar, Austen Terwilliger, Anthony Maresso

Patent number: 10705606Abstract: A tracking sensor integration system presented herein collects sensor data obtained for each time frame by a plurality of sensors attached to a wearable garment placed on a user's hand. A controller coupled to the tracking sensor integration system calculates a measurement gain based at least in part on collected sensor data, and determines prediction for a pose of the user's hand for the current time frame using the collected sensor data and a plurality of estimation parameters for the current time frame. The controller then updates the estimation parameters for the current time frame, based in part on the measurement gain and the prediction for the pose of the user's hand. The controller determines an estimated pose for the user's hand, based in part on the updated estimation parameters and the collected sensor data.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Nicholas Colonnese, Justin Clark, Sean Jason Keller, Tristan Thomas Trutna

Patent number: 10451158Abstract: A torque converter, including: a cover; a lock-up clutch with a piston plate; an output hub; a first hub including a through-bore; a chamber bounded by the turbine; an apply chamber bounded by the piston plate; a release chamber bounded by the cover, the first hub, and the piston plate; a first flow path; a through-bore through the first hub; and a second flow path. The second flow path: is sealed from the first chamber; passes through the through-bore; and includes a portion circumferentially aligned with the first flow path. A line in an axial direction passes through the through-bore without intersecting the first hub. For a lock-up mode, pressurized fluid in the apply chamber displaces the piston plate in a first axial direction. For a torque converter mode, pressurized fluid in the release chamber displaces the piston plate in a second axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 10363568Abstract: An adhesive dispensing system and method of dispensing liquid material are disclosed. The adhesive dispensing system includes an adhesive dispensing module receiving hot melt adhesive through the inlet at a low pressure and rapidly developing high pressure at an outlet to thereby jet the hot melt adhesive therefrom. The system also includes a pressure container containing a supply of hot melt adhesive and configured to melt or maintain a heated temperature of the hot melt adhesive. A low pressure liquid passageway communicates between the adhesive dispensing module and the pressure container. The system also includes a pressurized air source in fluid communication with the adhesive dispensing module to operate the adhesive dispensing module by moving a piston to generate high pressure at the outlet of a nozzle for jetting hot melt adhesive as a discrete volume toward a substrate.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2016Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Nordson CorporationInventors: Justin A.

Patent number: 10197105Abstract: A motor vehicle clutch assembly is provided. The motor vehicle clutch assembly includes a radially extending section including an abutment surface; a clutch pack including a first clutch plate and a separator plate; an axially movable piston for engaging the clutch pack; and elastic connectors connecting the separator plate to the radially extending section. The elastic connectors preload the separator plate away from the abutment surface. The motor vehicle clutch assembly also includes a stop arranged for contacting the separator plate to limit axial movement of the separator plate away from the abutment surface. The stop is an axial distance away from the abutment surface such that the separator plate is forceable by the elastic connectors against the stop to provide clearance such that the first clutch plate is movable away from the abutment surface. A method of forming a motor vehicle clutch assembly is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2017Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.
