Publication number: 20150203810Abstract: Materials and methods for processing a cell population, such as enriching for a cell of interest from a cell population, are disclosed. The method may include: obtaining a cell population dispersed in a cytocompatible matrix; applying one or more labels to the cell population to distinguish a cell of interest from one or more cells of the cell population; identifying a portion of the cytocompatible matrix containing the cell of interest; and optionally isolating the portion of the cytocompatible matrix containing the cell of interest. The methods may, for example, advantageously provide reduced cell damage or loss relative to other procedures. Also disclosed are devices and compositions that may be useful for performing the methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2013Publication date: July 23, 2015Inventors: Andrew E.

Patent number: 7984862Abstract: A rail anchor and a rail anchor assembly are provided for use with a concrete railroad tie. An elastomeric plate is placed on a top surface of the railroad tie. A rigid plate is placed on top of the elastomeric plate. The rail anchor is placed adjacent the elastomeric plate and the rigid plate. The rail anchor has a first end with a receiving opening and a second end with a receiving indentation to receive edges of the flanges of the railroad rail. The rail anchor has a center portion joining the two ends. The outer portion of the rail anchor extends downwardly an amount less than the thickness of the elastomeric plate and the rigid plate to avoid contact with the concrete railroad tie.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2009Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Amsted Rail Company, Inc.Inventors: Jim Henderson, Ed Bosshammer, Casey Walsh

Patent number: 7374110Abstract: The present invention provides an isolator particularly adapted for use with a rail anchor utilized in an application where railroad rail is installed on concrete ties. The isolator protects the concrete tie from contact with the rail anchor caused by longitudinal movement of the rail due to train acceleration of deceleration or expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. In one embodiment, the isolator is comprised of a structural plastic material and includes a front face section and a rear face section. The front face section and rear face section each comprise a generally rectangular structure, having a top edge, bottom edge, and side edges. A center section joins the front face section and rear face section and forms part of the top of the isolator. In another embodiment, the front face section includes a top section and bottom section, with the top section having a lower edge projecting laterally at an acute angle from the bottom section.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2006Date of Patent: May 20, 2008Assignee: Unit Rail Anchor CompanyInventor: Casey Walsh

Patent number: 5221962Abstract: A method and apparatus for presenting subliminal visual and/or audio messages which allows user verification of message content and presence, as well as proper adjustment of message obviousness while accounting for ambient conditions and user sensitivities is disclosed. This method and apparatus also presents synchronized reinforced sensory input of subliminal messages. This is performed by simultaneously overlaying images received from a VCR over a plurality of television signals. This apparatus directs overlay images over RF television signals having both audio and video components.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1990Date of Patent: June 22, 1993Assignee: Popeil Industries, Inc.Inventors: Alan L.
