Patent number: 9134237Abstract: A sample of blood containing CTCs, or other cells of interest, is stained with fluorescent markers for image analysis and scanned to identify the presence and location within the cartridge of target cells or subcellular elements. A sample containing desired target cells or subcellular elements is then further processed, in part by photobleaching the sample, so that those same targets may be re-analyzed with additional biomarkers conjugated to the same or different fluorochromes using the same imaging criteria that were used for the initial analysis. The present invention has applications with targets such as circulating epithelial, cells, circulating tumor cells, circulating endothelial cells, leukocytes, lymphocyte subsets, cells containing an organelle or receptor of interest, cellular debris, disrupted cells and their debris, or any other formed element that might be captured and imaged.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2008Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Janssen Diagnotics, LLCInventors: Mark Carle Connelly, Frank Coumans, Steve Gross, Mike Kelly

Patent number: 9119374Abstract: There is provided an absorbent composition for water-based liquids, wherein dusting normally associated with handling of powdered absorbent materials is significantly reduced. The composition can be an animal litter, such as cat litter. The composition is formed by mixing a filler with a de-dusting agent and spraying an aqueous slurry of a deodorizing agent onto the mixture. The mixture is then added to a water absorbing material such as clay to uniformly mix the deodorizing agent with the water absorbing material.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2012Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: Church & Dwight Co., Inc.Inventors: Dragomir M.

Patent number: 8887998Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for generating a gift code. The system receives an indication from a first user identifying a closed loop card, receives a confirmation of an amount of money in an account associated with the closed loop card, offers to purchase the closed loop card at an amount less than the amount of money in the account associated with the closed loop card, and upon acceptance of the offer, deactivates the closed loop card. The system then offers to sell the amount of money at a discount rate to a second user, receives acceptance of the offer to sell the amount of money at the discount rate, and associates a gift code with the amount of money for use by the second user. Gift codes can have no expiration date. A multi-process secure gateway can confirm the amount of money.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2009Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: GiftCodes.com, LLCInventors: Jason Wolfe, Mark Romanelli, Sanjay Akut, Mike Kelly, Mary Jane Kelly
