Patent number: 9599601Abstract: A sample testing cartridge is usable to perform a variety of tests on a visco-elastic sample, such hemostasis testing on a whole blood or blood component sample. The cartridge includes a sample processing portion that is in fluid communication with a sample retention structure. A suspension, such as a beam, arm, cantilever or similar structure supports or suspends the sample retention portion relative to the sample processing portion in a unitary structure. In this manner, the sample retention portion may be placed into dynamic excitation responsive to excitation of the cartridge and correspondingly dynamic, resonant excitation of the sample contained within the sample retention portion, while the sample processing portion remains fixed. Observation of the excited sample yields data indicative of hemostasis. The data may correspond to hemostasis parameters such as time to initial clot formation, rate of clot formation, maximum clot strength and degree of clot lysis.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2015Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: CORAMED TECHNOLOGIES LLCInventors: Peter Delmenico, Carlos G. Lopez-Espina, Gabriel Raviv

Publication number: 20070059840Abstract: Apparatus for measuring hemostasis includes a container for holding a sample to be tested and a bobber configured to be buoyantly suspended on the sample. A magnet is secured to the bobber. A drive assembly is coupled to the container for driving the container in an oscillating motion. A magnetic field generator is disposed adjacent the container and configured to generate a magnetic field in the vicinity of the magnet. A magnetic field strength detector is disposed adjacent the container, and the magnetic field strength detector is configured to sense changes in the magnetic field as a result of movement of the bobber and magnet responsive to the oscillating motion of the container and clotting of the sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2006Publication date: March 15, 2007Applicant: HAEMOSCOPE CORPORATIONInventors: Eli Cohen, Vincent Contini, Peter Delmenico, Matthew Fleming, Thomas Haubert, Gabriel Raviv, Ronnie Raviv, Mark Wilson

Patent number: 6397001Abstract: A vaporizer having a heating chamber which may be quickly and easily removed and replaced when scale buildup interferes with the operation of the vaporizer. The vaporizer may have an improved electrode configuration, whereby the bottom portion of the electrodes provide most of the boiling energy. The vaporizer may be easily and safely maintained, as user access to the electrodes is prevented. In addition, a vaporizer is described having an electrode cartridge which may be quickly and easily removed for replacement or cleaning. A unique reservoir design provides for a flat or rising lip surrounding the main reservoir opening, which allows the reservoir to be compatible with dishwasher cleaning. The vaporizer may be provided with mineral salts to enhance the flow of electric current between the vaporizer elements.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2000Date of Patent: May 28, 2002Assignee: Sunbeam Products, Inc.Inventors: James G. Montagnino, Bob Czajkowski, Peter Delmenico, Peter Ehling

Patent number: 6279720Abstract: A coin handling mechanism for conveying coins to a remotely positioned coin receptor which accumulates the deposited coins. There is a water trap positioned along a back wall of the housing for diverting the flow of liquid injected through the coin entrance slot downwardly along the back of the housing to a fluid collecting chamber. The water trap comprises intersecting vertical support members and horizontal cross bars. There is also provided a coin discharge chute having an adjustment mechanism to adjust the point of discharge of the coins.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2000Date of Patent: August 28, 2001Assignee: Antares Applied Research, Inc.Inventors: Peter Delmenico, William R.

Patent number: 6041908Abstract: A coin handling mechanism for conveying coins to a remotely positioned coin receptor which accumulates the deposited coins. There is a liquid diverter within the mechanism for directing the flow of liquid injected through the coin entrance slot downwardly along the back of the housing to a fluid collecting chamber. A plurality of ribs at the back of the housing form channels for directing the flow of the fluid along the back of the housing. There is also provided a coin discharge chute having an adjustment mechanism to adjust the point of discharge of the coins. This compensates for variances in various vending machines and positions the coin discharge chute properly with respect to the coin receptor.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1998Date of Patent: March 28, 2000Assignee: Antares Applied Research, Inc.Inventors: Peter Delmenico, William R.
