Patent number: 8128549Abstract: The inventive technique includes methods, devices and computer-readable media for monitoring a magnetic device. One such device includes a magnetic core for generating a magnetic field, a power supply and a capacitor bank that is charged by the power supply and is for pulsing the magnetic core. The device also includes a processor that measures a charging response of the capacitor bank during charging and determines whether the measured charging response is within a predetermined tolerance of a predetermined charging response.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2007Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Neuronetics, Inc.Inventors: Anthony Testani, Mark Edward Riehl, Frank C. Klingshirn

Patent number: 7182912Abstract: An analyzer for performing automated assay testing. The analyzer includes a storage and conveyor system for conveying cuvettes to an incubation or processing conveyor, a storage and selection system for test sample containers, a storage and selection system for reagent containers, sample and reagent aspirating and dispensing probes, a separation system for separating bound from unbound tracer or labeled reagent, a detection system and date collection/processing system. All of the subunits of the machine are controlled by a central processing unit to coordinate the activity of all of the subunits of the analyzer. The analyzer is specifically suited for performing heterogeneous binding assay protocols, particularly immunoassays.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2002Date of Patent: February 27, 2007Assignee: Bayer CorporationInventors: Glen Carey, Scott C. Lewis, Mary Beth Whitesel, Frank C. Klingshirn
