Patent number: 11998677Abstract: A surgical fluid manager includes a pump releasably engageable to tubing and a user interface. The user interface is configured to enable finger-touch selection of a fluid flow rate through the tubing and configured to operate in at least one of a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, the flow rate is controlled via direct selection of one of a plurality of selectable digital numeric values, while in the second mode the flow rate is controlled via user selection of one alphanumeric identifier within a scale of alphanumeric identifiers. Each respective alphanumeric identifier directly corresponds to just one instrument size within a scale of instrument sizes.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2019Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: MEDTRONIC XOMED, INC.Inventors: Gerould W. Norman, Charles F. Scott Carpenter, Michael L. Koltz, Stephen R. Viviano

Publication number: 20090099814Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for recording the run time or off time of a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. A sensor would sense when the HVAC system is operating or is not operating. This information is transmitted to a receiver for displaying the run time or off time. The sensor could be directly wired to the receiver or could operate in a “wireless” mode in which the sensor is connected to a transmitter which would utilize radio frequency signals to transmit information to the receiver. The receiver is provided with a display in memory for specifically displaying the run time or off time of the HVAC unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2008Publication date: April 16, 2009Inventor: Charles F.

Patent number: 5395924Abstract: An activated affinity ligand is described comprising: a ligand having (a) a region with affinity for binding sites of a lectin; and (b) a reactive group capable of covalently linking the ligand to the lectin to thereby block one or more of the binding sites of the lectin. A blocked lectin is described comprising one or more affinity ligands covalently linked by means of a reactive group present on each of the ligands to a lectin such that one or more binding sites of the lectin is blocked. A cell-binding agent-blocked lectin conjugate is described comprising the above-described blocked lectin and a cell-binding agent covalently linked to: (a) one of the covalently linked affinity ligands; or (b) the lectin. A method of preparing the cell-binding agent-blocked lectin conjugate is described. An affinity support capable of binding to a lectin to form a blocked lectin is described comprising an activated affinity ligand covalently linked to a solid support.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 1993Date of Patent: March 7, 1995Assignee: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc.Inventors: Walter A. Blattler, John M. Lambert, Victor S. Goldmacher, Ravi V. J. Chari, Charles F. Scott, Jr., Linda J. Kostuba, Simon E. Moroney, Albert R. Collison
