Patent number: 11365386Abstract: There is described a cellular behaviour monitoring device for monitoring changes in behaviour of cells contained in a sample. The device generally has a well plate with a sample receiving well recessed therein. A filter membrane extends across the well plate and hermetically covers the sample receiving well. The filter membrane has nutrient-permeable and cell-impermeable pores extending through the filter membrane. The device has an electrode layer extending across the filter membrane. The electrode layer has a substrate and behaviour monitoring electrodes spaced-apart from one another in a region of the substrate, with the region being aligned with the sample receiving well. The electrode layer has nutrient-permeable apertures distributed across the region, with at least some of pores are aligned with at least some of the apertures to allow fluid communication therebetween, and nutrient exchange between the sample receiving well and a surrounding environment.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2019Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: UNIVERSITÉ LAVALInventors: Benoit Gosselin, Younès Messaddeq, Jacques Corbeil, Eric Bharucha

Patent number: 10488147Abstract: An electric projection weapon system is provided. The weapon system includes a targeting system for projecting conductive fluid beams towards a focal point at a target location in space. The electric projection weapon comprises at least two nozzles configured to project the conductive fluid beams towards the focal point. At least one of the nozzles is actuated by a nozzle actuator and is directionally controlled to control convergence of the conductive fluid beams towards the focal point. The weapon includes isolated pressurized reservoirs in fluid communication with the nozzles and containing a high conductance ionic solution, forming the fluid beams when projected from the nozzles. A high voltage power supply applies an electric potential difference between the conductive fluid beams.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2017Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Inventors: Simon Tremblay, Eric Bharucha

Patent number: 10101157Abstract: A free-space force feedback system that can be mounted to an input/output device so as to enable its operator complete ambulatory movement is provided. The input/output device may determine operator position, motion and torque (input) so that said device can interactively impart a command torque vector force (output) so as to provide from one to six degrees of freedom and highly realistic force feedback to an operator of the input/output device. The force feedback may be imparted by at least one orthogonally oriented MACSD (Multiple Axis Counter Spinning Disk), wherein MACSD may be mounted to the input/output device, thereby coupling reaction forces to the operator so that only the desired forces (command torque vectors) are felt without the need for connection to a fixed frame.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2015Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Inventors: Eric Bharucha, Simon Tremblay

Publication number: 20180187999Abstract: The invention is a weapon/protection system that generates two or more channels of physical medium in which travels an electric current. The current circulates though the channels due to their impedance being lower than that of air. From the generated electrical potential difference resulting at the target, the current can mildly shock, stun or fully paralyze a subject; therefore the device can be used as a weapon or deterrent for entry. This system incorporates a novel means of converging physical medium onto a controlled point in space. The system may also incorporate methods that modify the medium's viscosity in order to increase the length of continuous laminar in the channel of a jet medium (the jet length without droplet formation or discontinuous breakdown). The aforementioned medium may also be heated gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2017Publication date: July 5, 2018Inventors: Simon Tremblay, Eric Bharucha
