  • Patent number: 12358692
    Abstract: An injection molded article includes: (a) an article first portion having internal threading extending helically about an article axis, the threading configured to be formed by a thread mold in a mold core; and (b) an article second portion spaced radially apart from the article first portion and connected to the article first portion by a connection portion. The article second portion has at least one ejection-assist rib configured to be formed by at least one rib mold feature in the mold core. The ejection-assist rib defines a helical slide surface extending helically about the article axis. During an initial unscrewing rotation of the molded article relative to the mold core, the rib mold feature of the mold core bears against the slide surface of the ejection-assist rib to urge the article second portion axially away from the mold core during ejection of the molded article from the mold core.

  • Patent number: 12331350
    Abstract: Provided herein are reagents and methods for simultaneously enriching many potential rare genetic variants at different genetic loci. The rare variants enriched can include single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), single nucleotide variants, or small insertions and deletions. Embodiments of the invention include procedures for integration with downstream next generation sequencing (NGS) analysis. Embodiments of the invention include analysis of nonpathogenic SNPs for the determination of cell identity and detection of cell contamination using qPCR or NGS.

  • Patent number: 12241912
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a toggle member, a plurality of pogo pins, and a test board in operable communication with the toggle member. The pogo pins are coupled to the toggle member to move along a first axis when the toggle member moves along the first axis. Each pogo pin includes a plunger that moves within the pogo pin along the first axis. The pogo pins and respective plungers contact a top surface of the DUT when the DUT is coupled to the test board and positioned so that a conductor on its outer surface is aligns to and contacts a conductive region of the test board. Movement of the toggle member along the first axis translates to the plungers, applying a pressure sufficient to the top surface of the DUT to ensure flushmount electrical contact between the conductor of the DUT and the conductive region.

  • Patent number: 12054316
    Abstract: A cap for a container includes an annular tamper evident band with a generally rigid cylindrical frame having an upper ring and a plurality of ribs extending axially from the ring and spaced circumferentially apart about the ring. A plurality of retainer elements are supported by the frame, each retainer element connected at circumferentially opposed ends by resiliently flexible webs to adjacent ones of the ribs. The retainer elements are biased to a radially contracted position, in which the retainer elements protrude inwardly to engage an underside surface of a neck flange of the container. The retainer elements are movable to a radially expanded position in which the retainer elements can be advanced axially past the neck flange when installing the cap onto the container for the first time.
