Publication number: 20230110090Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods of electroporation protocol optimization. Embodiments include electroporation machines capable of carrying out test protocols including multiple user-designated parameters. The protocols and parameters can be carried out on samples comprising cells, including portions of a sample, to determine optimum parameters for electroporation for different samples. The systems and methods of optimization preferably use electroporation cartridges, electroporation instruments and systems and methods of electroporation using these devices and systems. In some embodiments, electroporation cartridges comprise an electroporation chamber and electrodes.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2022Publication date: April 13, 2023Inventors: Mio Xiu Lu Ling, Harmon Cosme Sicat, JR., Joshua Mead, Benyong Shi, Li Yong Ong, Don Paul Kovarcik, Nektaria Andronikou

Publication number: 20210256620Abstract: Method, apparatus, systems, and non-transitory media are described to simplify a user's interaction with a quoting application. Some data ordinarily requested by the user may be found from one of several private, public, and/or proprietary sources, so some prompts that would ordinarily need to be answered by the user may be eliminated. The described aspects also include retrieving data associated with one or more prompts, making assumptions about the user from the data, and using this data to prepopulate prompts. A control option indicative of a user's desired level of interaction with the application may affect the number of assumptions made and the number of omitted and/or prepopulated prompts presented to the user. By supplementing the user's prompt answers with database data, the number of prompts that need to be answered by the user may be reduced, thereby saving time for the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2021Publication date: August 19, 2021Inventors: John Howard Mendenhall, Andres Sulleiro, Lisa M. Smith, Julie Robertson, Don Paul, Melanie Perschnick, Sunni Barbera, Chris Giesler, Aaron Shimer, Nathon Turner

Patent number: 8454671Abstract: A cooling system includes a console and a tissue cooling device such as a head-cooling device. An operator applies the head-cooling device to the head of a patient at risk for ischemic injury. The console provides a cooling fluid to a fluid circulation space located between the cooling device and the patient's head under a positive gage pressure. Direct contact between the cooling fluid and the patient's head provides a relatively rapid induction of systemic hypothermia in the patient, thereby minimizing or preventing ischemic injury in the patient. The console also removes air from a channel disposed about an inner rim of the cooling device, using a negative gage pressure. Such removal of the air from the channel seals the rim of the cooling device to the head of the patient, including portions of the channel in contact with hair of the patient's head, and minimizes leaking of the cooling fluid beyond the rim of the cooling device.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2009Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: MedCool, Inc.Inventors: Charles D. Lennox, Steven M. Johnson, Susan Beinor, Maria Benson, Don Paul Nogueira, John W. Carroll, Helen Maslocka

Patent number: 7159316Abstract: A module corner assembly wherein a wheel hub is permanently attached to a knuckle and various surfaces on the wheel hub and knuckle are machined in a same fixture utilized in holding the knuckle to deform an end on the wheel hub against a cone of a bearing. When a rotor is thereafter attached to the wheel hub it is also machined in the same fixture such that a perpendicular relationship is established between the axis of the wheel bearing and braking surfaces on the rotor and as a result a desired lateral run out relationship is achieved between the axis of the bearing and rotor surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2004Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: David Thomas Sadanowicz, Larry William Brackmann, Don Paul Ward

Patent number: 7117600Abstract: A process for manufacturing and assembling a corner assembly for a vehicle to achieve a perpendicular relationship between an axle of a vehicle and first and second braking surfaces on a rotor. In this process, after an inner race of a bearing is pressed onto a wheel hub and an outer race is pressed into a support structure to define a sub-assembly. The sub-assembly is placed onto a locating fixture such that the outer race supports the sub-assembly in a desired alignment where an out board surface on a radial flange is in a perpendicular relationship with the axis of the wheel hub. An arbor is inserted into an axle bore surrounding the axis of the wheel hub and the sub-assembly is rotated on the inner race to simulate operational condition of a vehicle as the surface of the out-board flange is finished machined to define a perpendicular relationship with the axis of the wheel hub.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2003Date of Patent: October 10, 2006Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: David Thomas Sadanowicz, Don Paul Ward, Larry William Brackmann, William A.

Patent number: 6854891Abstract: A corner module for use in a motor vehicle having a bearing pack through which a wheel hub for the motor vehicle is connected with a support member. The bearing pack includes an inner race and an outer race for retaining first and second roller elements such that a wheel attached to the hub may rotate with respect to the support member. The bearing pack is characterized by an exciter ring that is located between the first and second roller elements and the outer race is characterized by an opening that is in radial alignment with the exciter ring. A sensor that is fixed to the support member has a functional length and a sensing area that extends through the radial opening in the outer race and into the bearing pack to a position adjacent the exciter ring such that the functional length and sensing area is protected from exposure to contamination that may be present in the environment.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2003Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Assignee: Robert Bosch CorporationInventors: David Thomas Sadanowicz, Larry William Brackmann, Don Paul Ward

Patent number: 6311213Abstract: A system and method for storing data in a network computing environment. The network includes a source server that will receive data to be stored from a client and target servers that have locally attached physical storage media. A server-to-server protocol is used to establish a communication connection between the source server and target server while programming allows the storage of the data from the source server on the physical storage at the target server, while also creating a virtual volume at the source server on which the data is also stored. From the perspective of the client, the data appears to be stored at the source server on locally attached storage media. The present invention eliminates the requirement for actual physical media locally attached to the source server.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 1999Date of Patent: October 30, 2001Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Colin Scott Dawson, Barry Fruchtman, Harry Clayton Husfelt, Michael Allen Kaczmarski, Don Paul Warren, Jr.
