Patent number: 11656641Abstract: A system for detecting and indicating variations in volume of chemicals in a container is provided. The system includes a retention basin configured to retain the container. The retention basin includes a pressure cell, a basin input interfaces, and a basin controller. The pressure cell is configured to measure a weight of the container. The container is placed on the pressure cell. The basin input interface is configured to allow specification of properties of the chemicals in the container. The basin controller is configured to calculate the volume of the chemicals in the container based on the measured weight of the container and the specified properties of the chemicals in the container. The basin controller includes a basin display configured to display the calculated volume of the chemicals in the container.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: STERIS Inc.Inventors: Xavier Elie-Dit-Cosaque, Hugo St-Jean, Louis-Philippe Gaudreau, Daniel Rochette, Luc Tremblay, Jaime Estevez

Patent number: 10975981Abstract: A fluid collection and disposal device for a transfer cart used for transporting wet articles is comprised of a tray disposed below articles to be transported on a transfer cart. The tray has a drain opening. A conduit extends from the drain opening to an exterior side of the transfer cart. A valve assembly is connected to the conduit for controlling fluid flow through the conduit. The valve assembly is comprised of a valve element moveable between a closed, first position restricting flow of fluid through the conduit and an opened, second position allowing flow of fluid through the conduit. An actuator is provided for moving the valve element from the closed position to the open position. The actuator is moveable by physical engagement with an external stop.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: STERIS Inc.Inventors: Hugo St-Jean, Louis-Phillipe Gaudreau, Xavier Elie-Dit-Cosaque, Jaime Estevez, Luc Tremblay

Publication number: 20100084737Abstract: This invention pertains to a color coatings blender apparatus to be used for color composition customization for the application of color coatings on 2D and 3D surfaces. The apparatus is comprised of a main body and interchangeable inserts all with central blender chambers and primary and secondary ports, and interchangeable spindles; the configurations of which are governed by coating technical characteristics. This invention integrates gradient specific programmable computer digital processes to function as internal editors, manipulate information and present the operator with multiple options and production overrides. This invention will make data analysis more interactive by utilizing existing external software applications as editors and expanding the process of visual communications for multiple purposes. While the blender apparatus, complete with external selectable appurtenances, can be used manually, it can also be combined with a programmable computer for producing physical gradient layers.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2007Publication date: April 8, 2010Inventors: Alain Lacourse, Mathieu Ducharme, Hugo St-Jean, Yves Gagnon, Yvon Savaria, Michel Meunier
