Publication number: 20240139658Abstract: Embodiments are directed to filtration container assemblies and methods of using the same. A filtration container assembly can include an outer container and a plunging assembly. The outer container can have a first open end and a second closed end that defines an inner cavity. The plunging assembly can include a first end and a second end, with the second end of the plunging assembly being configured to be received within the inner cavity of the outer container. The plunging assembly can also include an inner sleeve having a first end and a second end and an outer wall that defines an inner bore. The plunging assembly can further include a filtration assembly in fluid communication with the inner bore, with the filtration assembly including a flow control device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Travis Merrigan, Patrick Crosby, Scott Rolfson, Andrew Weber, Christopher Leiter

Patent number: 11898957Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for quantitative detection of mercury vapor in gas samples using a film of nanoparticles. The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of an amalgam nanoparticle is sensitive to adsorbed mercury mass. The equilibrium mass of mercury on a gold nanoparticle is a function of the surrounding vapor concentration and the temperature of the gold. A device that introduces a temperature-controlled gold nanoparticle film to a controlled flow of sample gas responds predictably to a given mercury vapor concentration when optically probed in situ. Controlling the temperature of the film allows for control of adsorption and desorption rates. Equilibrium plasmonic mercury detection, described herein, removes the cycling necessary for many gold-based mercury analyses. Methods are given for the operation and analysis of the temperature-stabilized gold nanoparticle mercury sensor.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Inventors: Jay James, Jeffrey Scott Crosby

Patent number: 11227200Abstract: The systems and methods presented here completely separate a non-user pattern from the user jobs being printed. In fact, depending on the number of images in the job and the number of patterns provided by the manufacturer or press operator, the patterns may appear on different images of the job each time the job is printed. This is because the image marks are generated and processed according to the configuration of ROUS, independent of the user jobs being printed.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2021Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: ELECTRONICS FOR IMAGING, INC.Inventors: Scott Crosby, Haresh Joshi

Publication number: 20060114494Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for networked printing systems that include a client computer coupled via a print server to a plurality of network printers. Each network printer is coupled to an associated accounting server that requires pre-print information for billing purposes. The client computer sends the print server a print request that designates one of the network printers to print a document. The print server creates a print job based on the document, determines the pre-print information required by the associated accounting server, and prompts a user of the client computer to provide the required information. The print server creates a pre-print message based on the user's response in accordance with a pre-print protocol, and then sends the pre-print message to the associated accounting server. If the accounting server authorizes the print job, the print server sends the print job to the designated network printer for printing.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2004Publication date: June 1, 2006Inventors: Scott Crosby, John Armstrong

Patent number: 5113493Abstract: Graphics display systems are used to display animated images, generated from a sequence of images (D) developed by an artist, and projected using a conditional replacement technique, in a manner as directed by a series of commands (E), given to the program by the artist. The method works for systems of any resolution and number of colors. To facilitate the process is broken into two steps, development (A) and projection (B). This eliminates all activities from the actual projection effort that do not directly contribute to it, enabling faster operation. In combination with the storage and display techniques, which only note any changes from one image to the next, this allows true animation displays not normally attainable with given equipment.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 1987Date of Patent: May 12, 1992Assignee: Liberty Life Insurance Co.Inventor: C.
