  • Patent number: 9789235
    Abstract: Described are devices, methods, and kits for controlled incremental filtration (CIF), as well as methods of designing CIF devices. For example, a method for CIF may modulate a concentration of particles of a desired size in a fluid. The fluid including the particles may be flowed along a flow path through a central channel to contact a plurality of gaps that fluidically couple the central channel to at least one adjacent side channel network. Flow resistance may be decreased along at least a portion of the flow path effective to modulate the concentration of particles. The method may include selecting the plurality of gaps to be larger than the particles. The method may include causing a consistent flow fraction fgap in the central channel to traverse each gap in the plurality of gaps and flow through the at least one side channel network along the flow path.

  • Publication number: 20160071054
    Abstract: A system, method, and devices are disclosed for remotely verifying and managing the record of an inventory asset, such as an automobile or other vehicle, wherein the asset in the inventory is located at a site remote from a user initiating a request for verification, A user selects from a web-based interface on a client device or mobile application the location of an asset to be verified. When an inventory verification request is initiated, a request is sent electronically to a base station/transmitter located at the dealer's location. The transmitter sends a signal out to verify the inventory in the dealer's to one or more receivers installed in each vehicle/inventory object. The receivers communicate data associated with vehicles/inventory objects present in the dealer's lot back to the transmitted request with the list of data representing the inventory.

  • Publication number: 20150223012
    Abstract: An automotive near field communication (NFC) application that includes a process which is implemented as a mobile software application and uses near field communication tags to store and retrieve automotive vehicle information is disclosed. The process does not need a user to access the VIN and then manually enter or scan the VIN. In this process the VIN is written to an NFC tag using an NFC enabled mobile device and placed on the vehicle. A user can bump, touch, or place the NFC enabled mobile device on the NFC tag to retrieve the VIN. The application is configured to generate a vehicle value or vehicle report based, in part, on vehicle information received from the NFC tag.

  • Publication number: 20130126729
    Abstract: A scanning transmission electron microscope includes an electron beam source to generate an electron beam. Beam optics are provided to converge the electron beam to a probe, such as a longitudinally stretched probe. A stage is provided to hold a specimen in the path of the electron beam. The specimen comprises one or more polymers to be sequenced. A beam scanner scans the electron beam across the specimen. A controller may define one or more scanning areas corresponding to the locations of the polymers, and control one or more of the beam scanner and stage to selectively scan the electron beam probe in the scanning areas. The controller may also tune the beam optics during imaging. One or more detectors are provided to detect electrons transmitted through the specimen to generate an image for each of the scanning areas. The controller may also analyze the one or more images to sequence the polymers.

  • Patent number: 7194780
    Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning deposits from the interior surfaces of a kiln. The apparatus utilizes a directed high-pressure fluid jet to remove deposits adhering to elements within a kiln. The pressurized fluid is delivered to the fluid jet through the shaft of a rotary drill. The drill shaft is received in a sleeve permitting rotational and longitudinal displacement of the shaft. The sleeve also defines a plenum surrounding the drill shaft to communicate pressurized fluid to the fluid jet throughout longitudinal and rotational displacement of the drill shaft. The drill further utilizes a boring bit suitable for penetrating encrusted deposits to provide the fluid jet access to the interior surfaces of the kiln. For removing severe encrustations, the drill bit may be used to partially penetrate the encrustation and a linear actuator may then be employed to press large portions of the encrustation from the kiln's refractory lining.
