  • Patent number: 8248625
    Abstract: System and method for automated scheduling and creation of gang shells specifying gangs of individual jobs for production to be created and produced in the future. Individual jobs and related production parameters and order information are retained electronically in a database of pending jobs awaiting production. Based on production capacity at the production facility and the production parameters of the individual pending jobs in the database, a plurality of gang shells having defined production parameters, but not having specific individual jobs associated therewith, are defined and used for scheduling equipment and personnel at the production facility during a work shift or other desired period of time. The specific individual jobs for a gang are selected from the database relatively shortly prior to the gang's scheduled production time.

  • Patent number: 8073666
    Abstract: A system is described for ordering oligonucleotides through a network, such as the Internet. The system provides a mechanism for validating the data provided by a customer, and then displaying graphical images to represent any data that has errors. The system can also pool multiple oligonucleotide samples together by providing graphical images representing oligonucleotide containers, and allowing the customer to select the proper containers to pool.

  • Patent number: 5465819
    Abstract: A power transmitting assembly includes a first rotatable assembly, a second rotatable assembly having an axially movable rotating member, a camming assembly for moving the rotating member and an electromagnetic clutch for activating the camming assembly. The rotating member is moved between a first position where the first rotatable assembly operatively engages the second rotatable assembly and a second position where the first rotatable assembly is disengaged from the second rotatable assembly. The power transmitting assembly is shown in three forms--a locking hub assembly, a lockable differential assembly and axle assembly having an axle disconnect.
