Publication number: 20260141979Abstract: The present disclosure relates to protein production in mammalian cell lines using artificial neural network-like genetic circuits, and convolutional neural network predictions are described. A genetic circuit system including gene nodes selected based on roles in view of a target biological output is provided. The genetic circuit is applied to mammalian cells under bioproduction conditions, and the yield of the produced protein is measured.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2025Publication date: May 21, 2026Inventors: Chi U. SEAK, Chon In CHEONG, Ming-Tsung Wu, Chris Schultz, Liudmyla Bolotova, Suresh Ponnusamy, Cristina Parra Carmona

Publication number: 20260138198Abstract: A cutting and scrap ejector system for a panel includes a lower post, a main pad, a cutting member and a plunger. The main pad is configured to cooperate with the lower post to grip the panel. The cutting member is movable between a non-cutting position in which the cutting member is configured to be spaced apart from the panel and a cutting position in which the cutting member is configured to trim the panel. The plunger is movably coupled to the main pad between a first position in which the plunger is configured to be spaced apart from the panel and a second position in which the plunger is configured to contact a portion of the panel to eject the portion of the panel from the system. The plunger is inhibited from contacting the portion of the panel prior to the cutting member being moved to the cutting position.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2024Publication date: May 21, 2026Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Michael Dunn, Daniel Pfeffer, Philip Trinh, Richard Brinkley, Chris Schultz, Evangelos Liasi

Patent number: 10255646Abstract: The present invention relates to a system, method and medium for associating portions of advocational documents with portions of tribunal decisions in view of common or similar characteristics that are identified between the associated entities. In addition, the associated advocational document portions are imparted with certain characteristics resulting from such an association, such as inheriting the topic of the associated tribunal decision portion or inheriting general characteristics of the decision such as judge or jurisdiction. This allows for the subsequent retrieval of advocational documents in view of various criteria associated with a decision or portion thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2014Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Inventors: Blake Howald, Isabelle Moulinier, Andrew Mushett, John Ohle, Chris Schultz

Patent number: 8301217Abstract: A physiological sensor is adapted to removably attach an emitter assembly and a detector assembly to a fingertip. The emitter assembly is adapted to transmit optical radiation having multiple wavelengths into fingertip tissue. The detector assembly is adapted to receive the optical radiation after attenuation by the fingertip tissue. The sensor has a first shell and a second shell hinged to the first shell. A spring is disposed between the shells and urges the shells together.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2009Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Cercacor Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Ammar Al-Ali, Chris Schultz

The detector assembly is adapted to receive the optical radiation after attenuation by the fingertip tissue. The sensor has a first shell and a second shell hinged to the first shell. A spring is disposed between the shells and urges the shells together. An emitter pad is fixedly attached to the first shell and configured to retain the emitter assembly. A detector pad is fixedly attached to the second shell and configured to retain the detector assembly. A detector aperture is defined within the detector pad and adapted to pass optical radiation to the detector assembly. A contour is defined along the detector pad and generally shaped to conform to a fingertip positioned over the detector aperture.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2006Date of Patent: September 29, 2009Assignee: Masimo Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Ammar Al-Ali, Chris Schultz
