Publication number: 20240300994Abstract: Methods for purifying RNA from a sample, comprising one or more steps of tangential flow filtration, hydroxyapatite chromatography, core bead flow-through chromatography, or any combinations thereof. These techniques are useful individually, but show very high efficiency when used in combination, or when performed in particular orders. The methods can purify RNA in a highly efficient manner without unduly compromising potency or stability, to provide compositions in which RNA is substantially cleared of contaminants. Moreover, they can be performed without the need for organic solvents.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2024Publication date: September 12, 2024Applicant: GLAXOSMITHKLINE BIOLOGICALS SAInventors: Francesco BERLANDA SCORZA, Yingxia WEN, Andrew GEALL, Frederick PORTER

Patent number: 11880320Abstract: A system and method of adding a high-rate channel to a legacy baseband bus includes a bus communicatively coupled to a transmitter and a receiver via one or more transformer couplers, where the transmitter and receiver transmit and receive a first signal over the bus utilizing a differential mode. The system also includes at least two modems coupled to the bus, where a first modem transmits a second signal over the bus for receipt by a second modem, where the at least two modems are each coupled to the bus via the one or more transformer couplers, where the second signal is transmitted over the bus utilizing a common mode, and where the first signal and the second signal are spatially separated on the bus based on an isolation between the common mode and the differential mode.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2021Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: PERATON LABS INC.Inventors: James Dixon, Thomas Banwell, Seth Robertson, Frederick Porter

Patent number: 7846278Abstract: A composite fabric for use in reinforcement of cementitious boards and similar prefabricated building wall panels. The fabric includes an open mesh first component of continuously coated, high modulus of elasticity strands and a nonwoven second component fabricated from alkali resistant thermoplastic material. The high modulus strands of the first component are preferably bundled glass fibers encapsulated by alkali and water resistant thermoplastic material. The composite fabric also has suitable physical characteristics for embedment within the cement matrix of the panels or boards closely adjacent the opposed faces thereof. The reinforcement provides long-lasting, high strength tensile reinforcement and impact resistance for the panels or boards. The reinforcement also enables the boards to have smooth outer faces suitable for painting, papering, tiling or other finishing treatment.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2003Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Saint-Gobain Technical Fabrics America, Inc.Inventor: John Frederick Porter

Patent number: 7615504Abstract: A cementitious board and methods of making the same are disclosed by a cementitious board including a cementitious core, a plurality of warp yarns and weft yarns and a coating applied to produce a coating weight distribution ratio of less than about 2.0:1, based upon the weight of the resinous coating of the weft yarns, over the weight of the resinous coating on the warp yarns.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2008Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: Saint-Gobain Technical Fabrics America, Inc.Inventors: John Frederick Porter, Geraint Roberts

Patent number: 7615178Abstract: Fabric and reinforcements are provided by this invention which, in a first embodiment, include a plurality of warp yarns having a first twist (turns/inch) and a plurality of weft yarns having a second twist which is greater than the first twist. A coating is applied over a substantial portion of the warp and weft yarns after they are assembled or laid together, so as to produce a weight distribution ratio of less than about 2.0:1, based upon the weight of the resinous coating of the weft yarns over the weight of the resinous coating on the warp yarns. This can be achieved, in substantial part, due to the difference in the twist ratios of the warp and weft yarns, which difference permits a more uniform coating to be applied. Further embodiments of this invention include a cementitious board and methods of making a coated fabric and cementitious board.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2005Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: Saint Gobain Technical Fabrics America, Inc.Inventors: John Frederick Porter, Geraint Roberts
