Patent number: 9645058Abstract: A sample encapsulation system includes a base, a chamber having an inlet and a chamber housing in which the chamber is housed. The chamber is fixedly mounted at least in part within the housing and the housing is movably mounted to the base. The system includes a cap, a first ram operably mounted to the cap for engaging the chamber inlet and a second ram positioned in the chamber opposite the inlet. The second ram is movable toward and away from the first ram. The chamber and housing are movable toward the cap for engaging the first ram with the chamber inlet during an encapsulation cycle and away from the cap, disengaging the first ram from the chamber inlet following an encapsulation cycle. The system includes heating and cooling assemblies and a temperature sensor located remotely from the chamber interior to automatically isolate cooling water to the system.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2013Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC.Inventors: Lawrence L. Freson, Kurt G. Adair, Charles E. Shewey, Douglas A. Ceckowski, Sean O'Flaherty, Anatoly Gosis, Yury Shkolnikov, Michael F. Hart, Daniel P. Schmidt

Patent number: 8573123Abstract: A method of forming a conductive ink bridge wire EED on either a flat or curved substrate, wherein a finely detailed bridge wire EED is printed on the substrate using a nano-particle conductive material applied with a commercially available piezoelectric drop-on-demand ink jet printer—which bridge wire is subsequently coated with a first primary explosive layer, an optional second transition explosive layer, and a third secondary explosive layer—such that upon creating a current through the bridge wire EED, the bridge wire is heated and the explosive layers detonate in turn, and in turn initiate the detonation of the device to which the detonator is attached.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2011Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Brian E.

Publication number: 20100284863Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention comprise a biosensor cartridge which optically, fluidically, and/or mechanically couples to an evanescent sensing measurement apparatus having annularizing illumination elements, said biosensor cartridge and measurement apparatus being used for detecting the presence of chemically or biologically active substances binding to said biosensor present within an aqueous media, such as and without limitation, the presence of specific proteins in blood or urine. Some embodiments comprise an integrated biosensor cartridge having a flow channel and a plurality of storage cavities, fluid flow in the cartridge controlled by valving mechanisms for directing a plurality of fluids through the cartridge, the order and amounts of such fluids passing through the cartridge being externally controlled and required for the detection and measurement of specific chemically or biologically active substances.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2008Publication date: November 11, 2010Inventors: James G. Downward, Judith L. Erb, Daniel P. Schmidt

Patent number: 6786874Abstract: The present invention involves apparatus and methods for use in collecting bodily fluids, such as interstitial fluids, from the epidermal layer of an animal. A preferred apparatus includes a pressure head and, optionally, a holder therefor for supplying a positive pressure to the head. The methods include the application of a positive pressure to the area surrounding an epidermal site from which stratum corneum has been breached, such as by laser ablation, to cause bodily fluids, such as interstitial fluids, to exude from the site and collecting the fluids exuding therefrom.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2002Date of Patent: September 7, 2004Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: John P. Grace, Neil W. Loomis, Thomas G. Schapira, Sie Ting Wong, Kristin M. Noonan, Michael G. Lowery, Pete M. Bojan, Daniel P. Schmidt, Tung-Ming Huang, Robert G. Hiltibran, Mark R. Pope, John J.

Publication number: 20030035379Abstract: Based upon given demands, nodes, spans, speed hierarchy, equipment, weights, preferences, and constraints, the apparatus and method disclosed creates an optimized network configuration by (1) separating demands into groups based on their shortest path and the maximum cycle size, (2) routing each demand group, and (3) re-routing the demands on rings that exceed the Cost Threshold when cost effective. Common elements in routing demands in the groups are functional analysis for equipment selection and functional analysis for demand routing.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2001Publication date: February 20, 2003Inventors: Sheri L.
