Publication number: 20240105290Abstract: In some embodiments, a system tracks multiple uses of a physical object having a physical tracking tag with a physical identifier. The system reads the physical tracking tag to determine the physical identifier and assigns different, unique virtual identifiers for different uses of the object. The system may store each virtual identifier with information describing the corresponding use of the object. The system may generate a running cycle count for the object, where the system may use the cycle count to determine when to stop re-using the object. The object may be a refurbishable labware consumable, such as a physically barcoded microplate, where the system assigns virtual identifiers and cycle count to the consumable and cleans the consumable to enable multiple re-uses of the consumable with (i) each use being assigned a unique virtual identifier and (ii) the consumable having the same physical barcode.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicants: Ionfield Holdings LLC, Computype Inc.Inventors: David Lea Richmond, Paul Fredric Hensley

Publication number: 20240103227Abstract: A mounting system for latching a cable management structure to a telecommunications fixture includes a first locking feature on the management structure defining first and second hook-like members separated apart, each defining a vertical slide portion and a larger vertical retention portion, the first locking feature including an elastically flexible latch between the first and second hook-like members. A second locking feature defining first and second slots is located on a planar wall of the telecommunications fixture, wherein the first and second slots define a receiver portion and a retention portion, the receiver portion for accommodating the retention portion of the hook-like members and the retention portion for accommodating the slide portion of the hook-like members, the second locking feature also defining a latch opening. The cable management structure also defines curvature that provides bend radius protection along at least two perpendicular planes.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: COMMSCOPE CONNECTIVITY BELGIUM BVBAInventors: David Jan Irma VAN BAELEN, Wouter VRANKEN, Heidi BLEUS, Peter CLAES, Willem Lea Marcel DE VIS, Geert Antoon PARTON

Patent number: 7564330Abstract: A reed switch has a contact surface composed of three layers of metal applied to the contacts of the reed switch. The three layers comprise first a layer of titanium of approximately 15 to 150 micro inches, second a layer of molybdenum of 15 to 150 micro inches, and finally a contact layer of 5 to 20 micro inches of ruthenium, or other platinum group metal or alloy. The layers may be applied by any suitable methods, for example by sputtering.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2007Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Key Safety Systems, Inc.Inventors: Mark Pickhard, John Wineke, David Lea, Andrew Petraszak, Steve Topel, Tom Lenz
