  • Patent number: 12001524
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide application management capabilities to enterprises. A computing device of a user, associated with the enterprise, receives an enrollment token signed with a certificate. The enrollment token includes an enterprise identifier associated with the enterprise. The computing device receives a package containing one or more applications. The package also includes an enterprise identifier. Installation and execution of one or more applications from the received package is accepted or rejected based on a comparison of the enterprise identifier from the enrollment token with the enterprise identifier from the received package or application. A web service provides validation services by monitoring the installation and execution of applications on the computing devices associated with the enterprise.

  • Publication number: 20240167954
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240162693
    Abstract: An electrical enclosure includes a main cabinet and a modular cabinet removably secured to the main cabinet. The main cabinet includes a bus compartment that includes a busbar assembly, and the bus compartment is located between an end wall of the main cabinet and a partition opposite the end wall. The modular cabinet is comprised of interlocking compartment modules. Each compartment module interlocks with an adjacent compartment module. Each compartment module includes first and second side panels. Each side panel includes an alignment member that engages an alignment member of a respective side panel of the adjacent compartment module. Each compartment module also includes a base that extends between the first and second side panels and a terminal wall that joins the first and second side panels. The terminal walls of the interlocking compartment modules engage to form a structural wall of the modular cabinet.

  • Publication number: 20180326499
    Abstract: A method of recutting the surface of a wheel includes mounting the wheel on a rotatable mount, moving a probe across the surface of the wheel between an outer radial position and an inner radial position to obtain a radial surface profile and rotating the wheel about its axis on the rotatable mount. During rotation of the wheel, the position of a cutting tool with respect to the surface of the wheel is controlled to recut the surface of the wheel in accordance with the cutting profile. The wheel is tagged with a unique wheel identifier, and the unique wheel identifier is recorded into a database in association with an indication of an amount of material which has been removed from the surface of the wheel.

  • Patent number: 8407875
    Abstract: A tool for fastening fencing material to a post with a staple. The tool includes a base plate; first and second handles; first and second crimping arms, and a cam operatively engaged with the first handle. A slide is operatively engaged with the cam. The first and second handles and the first and second crimping arms are pivotally interconnected and attached to the base plate so that when the first and second handles are pivoted towards one another from an open position, the cam advances the slide, which advances the staple so that the crimping arms may crimp the staple to the fence post. A method for attaching the staple to a fence post is also described and claimed. An inventive staple is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 4442270
    Abstract: Disclosed are crystalline polyesters having low melt viscosities, and thermosetting compositions comprising these polyesters. The compositions are especially useful as powder coatings. At least 40 mole percent of the acid moiety is a terephthalic or isophthalic acid moiety, and the polyester contains as moieties of the dihydric alcohol about 40-100 mole percent 1,6-hexanediol, the polyester being further characterized as having a molecular weight of about 700-3000, a melt viscosity of about 50-3000 cps at 160.degree. C. and a hydroxyl number of about 30-160.
