Patent number: 11992521Abstract: A method is described for producing a pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide protein conjugate in which one or more activated pneumococcal polysaccharides of particular pneumococcal serotypes and carrier protein are separately lyophilized, the separately lyophilized polysaccharides and carrier protein are separately reconstituted in an organic solvent, and the reconstituted polysaccharide and carrier protein are then combined together by Tee-mixing and conjugated together to produce polysaccharide carrier protein conjugates. A plurality of conjugates, each comprising polysaccharides of a particular serotype, may be used to produce multivalent pneumococcal immunogenic compositions having a combination of conjugates for use in vaccines.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLCInventors: Patrick Leonard Ahl, Akhilesh Bhambhani, Christopher Jon Farrell, Patrick McHugh, Morrisa C.

Patent number: 11752042Abstract: Absorbent articles having curved elasticized laminates and apparatuses and methods for forming such articles are disclosed. In one embodiment a method of forming an article may comprise moving absorbent assemblies and elasticized laminates in the machine direction. The method may further comprise oscillating the elasticized laminates in the cross-machine direction to impart a curvature, bonding the elasticized laminates to the absorbent assemblies while maintaining the imparted curvature such that at least a portion of the elasticized laminates are disposed outboard of longitudinal side edges of the absorbent assemblies, and finally separating the absorbent assemblies into individual absorbent articles, where the elasticized laminates extend in a curving manner throughout the absorbent articles.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: KIMBERLY-CLARK WORLDWIDE, INC.Inventors: Matthew R.

Publication number: 20230249966Abstract: The spontaneous assembly of chiral structures from building blocks that lack chirality is fundamentally important for colloidal chemistry and has implications for the formation of advanced optical materials. Here, we find that purified achiral gold tetrahedron-shaped nanoparticles assemble into two-dimensional superlattices that exhibit planar chirality under a balance of repulsive electrostatic and attractive van der Waals and depletion forces. A model accounting for these interactions shows that the growth of planar structures is kinetically preferred over similar three-dimensional products, explaining their selective formation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Matthew R. Jones, Zhihua Cheng, Yuchen Xing

Patent number: 11712377Abstract: Absorbent articles of the present disclosure may be constructed with a secondary liner sheet placed on top of a body facing liner of the articles configured to form a pocket. The pocket provides a barrier, thereby separating a front region of the absorbent articles from a rear region. In this manner, the absorbent articles of the present disclosure may reduce the spread of bodily exudates throughout the articles. The reduced spreading of exudates may help to keep skin healthy by reducing the amount of skin exposed to the skin irritants within the exudates and/or by preventing additional skin irritants from being created by preventing the mixing of BM and urine, at least in proximity to the skin of the wearer.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2017Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: KIMBERLY-CLARK WORLDWIDE, INC.Inventors: David J. Enz, Patrick R. Lord, Kroy D. Johnson, Matthew R. Jones, Daniel J. Grassl, Kyle M. Barriger

Patent number: 9964836Abstract: An aerial camera system including a plurality of main reels, a camera interface/safety reel and a stabilized camera head. The camera head is supported from main cables from the main reels with a safety reel cable providing power, data and video communication between the camera head and a main computer system. Each of the main reels, the camera interface/safety reel and the camera head are in communication with the main computer system, which controls the feeding and reeling in of the main cables. Further, the computer system controls the feeding and reeling in of the safety reel cable, which typically only follows the camera head as it moves in three-dimensional space, but may in emergency mode support the weight of the camera head and be used to slowly pull the camera head up and out of the way so that it does not interfere with any activity below the flight area.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2012Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: SKYCAM, LLCInventors: Patrick J. Bennett, Garret Cook, Matthew R. Jones, Kaveh Ashenayi, Michael F. Henry, Alexander MacDonald

Publication number: 20100294952Abstract: Disclosed are nanostructures having nanoprisms and agents, such as diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents. Nanoprisms with a surface plasmon resonance in the near-infrared convert irradiation, such as from a laser into heat selectively to allow the dissociation, such as dehybridization of oligonucleotide duplexes, of agents associated with the nanoprism surface. These nanostructures show morphological, chemical, and functional stability under hours of irradiation. Further disclosed are methods of selectively releasing agents from nanostructures after directed surface plasmon resonance mediated heating of the nanoprisms. Released agents, such as oligonucleotides, are unharmed by this process and can be repeatedly released and sequestered under spatiotemporal control.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2010Publication date: November 25, 2010Applicant: NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITYInventors: Chad A.
