Publication number: 20240165740Abstract: The present invention disclosure relates to a method of welding a tab to a terminal of an electrical cell using an infra-red laser welding system. A first surface of the tab is placed in contact with the terminal of the electrical cell, and an infra-red laser is directed through at least one lens towards a second surface of the tab opposite the first surface. The laser welding system is controlled to produce a weld by directing the beam to follow a predetermined path. During welding, the beam is focussed in a plane between the first surface and the lens. In some embodiments, the beam may be focussed between the second surface and the lens. Advantageously, focussing the beam in this way has been found to reduce undesirable phenomena such as spatter and to produce more reliable welds than prior art methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Mo AL-BADANI, Oliver BAILEY, Paul HANEY

Publication number: 20240167954Abstract: Devices and methods are described for a contrast tray and framing devices for use with imagers. Some embodiments describe a contrast tray for use with an imager comprising one or more light diffusing layers configured to shift at least some of an imaging light and one or more light filtering layers configured to filter out at least some of the imaging light. Light diffusing and light filtering layers can be further configured to upconvert at least some of the diffused and/or non-filtered light. Contrast trays can be used to improve imaging of gels such as PAGE gels when using a green or blue-green light. Other embodiments of the disclosure describe a framing device that provides better illumination and lower background fluorescence for fluorescent gels, such as nucleic acid gels.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Applicants: Pierce Biotechnology, Inc., Life Technologies Holdings PTE LimitedInventors: Janaki Narahari, Aaron McBride, Chee Wai Chan, Gregory Kilmer, Paul Haney, Beng Heng Lim, Serina Perry, Soo Yong Lau, Zhixiong Tay, Yu Soon Su, Wei Guang Lee

Patent number: 11453968Abstract: A washing machine appliance may include a tub, a basket, an impeller base, and an extended post. The basket may be rotatably positioned within the tub. The impeller base may be rotatably mounted within the basket and define a rotation axis. The impeller base may include an impeller platform extending radially outward from the rotation axis and a mounting face defined on the impeller platform coaxial to the rotation axis. The extended post may be removably attached to the impeller base to rotate therewith. The extended post may include a base body, a mating face, a bar latch, and a connector bar. The base body may define an interior cavity. The mating face may be disposed in selective engagement with the mounting face. The bar latch may be pivotably attached to the base body above the mating face. The connector bar may be movably received within the interior cavity.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2021Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Haier US Appliance Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Paul Owen Davis, Paul Haney, James Augustine Ford

Publication number: 20050199550Abstract: A device for the dialysis of a sample includes a hermetically sealed sample chamber formed by a gasket with dialysis membranes affixed to each side in facing relationship. The gasket is impermeable to the sample being dialyzed, but is penetrable and reusable such that a sample introduction mechanism can be inserted through the gasket into the chamber, and then withdrawn without sample being permitted to leak. The device is fitted into a rigid housing containing windows and at least one port parallel to the dialysis membranes for directing the sample introduction mechanism into the gasket. The housing includes at least one pressure ridge for assisting in hermetically sealing the sample chamber and air chamber at one end for causing the device to float in an upright position when immersed in a dialysate.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2005Publication date: September 15, 2005Inventors: Paul Haney, William Klungle

Patent number: 6631770Abstract: A turner for quickly, easily, and aesthetically turning over and aerating and thickening a settled or compacted layer of an aggregate landscaping mulch material, and a method for doing so. The present turner includes an elongate cylindrical barrel having an outer cylindrical surface having a diametrical extent of less than about 5 inches and a plurality of elongate projections extending generally radially outwardly from the cylindrical surface at spaced locations thereon. The turner includes a handle supporting the cylindrical barrel for rotation about a cylindrical axis thereof. The present method includes holding the handle to push or pull the cylindrical barrel across a region of the layer of the landscaping mulch material to rotate the barrel such that the projections will penetrate into the mulch material and lift and reorient portions thereof to thicken the layer, without substantially disturbing the underlying surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2001Date of Patent: October 14, 2003Assignee: Gravity, IncorporatedInventors: Tony M. Guard, Paul Haney, Douglas Ortenzi, Joseph Stephens, James Tobergta
