Publication number: 20230183603Abstract: The invention provides surfactant compounds of formulas I-IX, which can be used in methods for aiding the solubilization, digestion, preparation, analysis, and/or characterization of biological material, for example, proteins or cell membranes. The compounds can also aid in the recovery of peptides generated during protein digestion, particularly for in-gel digestion protocol. Additionally, the compounds can improve enzymatic protein deglycosylation without interfering with downstream sample preparation steps and mass spectrometric analysis. The compounds can be specifically useful as digestion aids that can be decomposed by an acid, by heat, or a combination thereof. Decomposition of the surfactants allows for facile separation from isolated samples, and/or allows for analysis of the sample without interfering with the sensitivity of various analytical techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Sergei Saveliev, Daniel Simpson, Keith V.

Publication number: 20220288449Abstract: A portable mirror therapy device comprises a stiff divider panel attached to a base unit which supports the divider panel in an upright position to define two adjacent limb receiving spaces at opposite sides of the divider panel. A mirror is mounted on one face of the divider panel. A clamp, indicated generally by the reference numeral mounted at a lower end of the divider panel cooperates with an underside of the base unit for securing the base unit on a support such as a table or worktop. An exercise apparatus is mounted on the device and includes a limb engaging member, which in this case comprises a handle at a mirror side of the divider panel. The exercise apparatus is a resistance load training system and comprises a load cord extending from the handle to an associated resistance element mounted within a housing on an opposite side of the divider panel to the mirror.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2020Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: David Roberts, Kenneth Monaghan, Monika Ehrensberger, Daniel Simpson

Patent number: 10151549Abstract: A gun part with integral spare extractor has a planar element having a first periphery and form adapted to provide a first gun part function, the planar element including an integral and detachable removable element having a periphery adapted to provide a second gun part function, and at least a portion of the periphery of the removable element being defined by an elongated articulated opening defined in the planar element such that the removable element is connected only by a limited portion that is breakable without affecting the utility of the planar element and the removable element. The removable element may be positioned away from the first periphery such that an enclosed aperture is defined by the opening upon removal of the removable element. The opening may be an articulated cut of consistent width. The removable part may be connected to the planar element by only a single span.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2017Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: POWDER RIVER PRECISION, INC.Inventor: Daniel Simpson Batchelor

Patent number: 8999160Abstract: A mechanical plate shifter system for moving filter plates in a filter press during a process of plate separation for filter cake removal comprises: a pusher to automatically engage with a single filter plate at the end of a stack or at the edge of a gap in the stack for moving the plate forward and then automatically disengaging when the plate reaches an end plate/dummy plate or another filter plate previously pushed. The filter plates are configured with handles for engaging with the pusher. The pusher is attached to a continuous drive belt and is configured with a pivoting structure including: a head with a receiving notch for a handle of a filter plate; and a counterweight for the head. The pusher and belt are configured relative to the filter plate stack to allow for filter plates to be engaged/disengaged by the receiving notch.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2012Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Inventor: Daniel Simpson
