  • Publication number: 20240246079
    Abstract: A histology processing is provided for processing of large samples which do not fit in standard size histology cassettes and which may be labelled using conventional laboratory printing apparatus. The cassette has a box structure with an apertured base and open top face and the internal length to the internal width of the structure is of a ratio from 1.0 to 1.6 and able to receive sample identification information from an automated cassette printing apparatus and a closure for the open upper face of the structure, engageable with the structure to provide a sample enclosure in which the ratio of the width of the sample enclosure to its depth is less than 5:1 and the ratio of the length of the sample enclosure to its depth is less than 6:1.

  • Patent number: 11524813
    Abstract: A transport container, featuring a bottom plate with at least two holes for accommodating means of attachment for affixing fixed, track, or swiveling casters, a plate (1) affixed from the inside to the bottom plate for affixing fixed, track, or swiveling casters on the bottom plate of the transport container. The mounting plate (1) features a base plate (2) with a contact surface (1a), which faces the inside of the transport container in its assembled state, for placement onto the transport container. At least two means of insertion (3) are evenly distributed along the perimeter of the base plate (2), which protrude with an insertion area (7) from the contact surface (1a) of the base plate (2) and which each respectively feature an internal thread (5) and/or an external thread for affixing of the fixed, track, and swiveling casters in or on the insertion area (7), wherein the means of insertion (3) are disposed in the holes of the bottom plate.

  • Patent number: 10626643
    Abstract: A case latch assembly having a strike plate member provided on a first lock mounting part; a hinge member mounted on a second lock mounting part for pivotal movement about a pivot; a reciprocating element mounted for reciprocal movement on the hinge member, the reciprocating element having a strike plate engagement portion to a side of the pivot nearest to the first lock mounting part for engaging with the strike plate member, and a cantilever portion which extends to the side of the pivot furthest from the first lock mounting part; and a torsion element being arranged to apply torsion to the hinge member to bias the strike plate engagement portion away from the strike plate member as the reciprocating element moves between a first position and a second position, the cantilever portion interacts with a constraining formation on the second lock mounting part to offset the bias applied by the torsion element to cause the strike plate engagement portion to be deflected towards the strike plate member.

  • Publication number: 20190138958
    Abstract: A system may predict a category identifier for a work item to improve inefficiencies and errors in assigning work items to particular teams or team members. The system may predict a category for the work item based on receiving a text description of the work item, an identifier associated with a team category, and an identifier associated with a product tag category. For example, a prediction model may be selected based upon any one or more of the received input, and the prediction model may predict the category identifier for the work item. Because the category identifier may be predicted based on the input received, a wide range of category identifiers may be predicted, resulting in a more streamlined and accurate system for assigning work items.

  • Patent number: 9938756
    Abstract: A door brace (10) comprising: an engagement member (12) comprising a bottom flange (14) comprising one face comprising a textured surface (14a) to engage with a door (34); an angled leg (20) comprising a first section (22) hingedly connected at one end to the wall and a second section (23) extending from the first section at a first angle, the leg being movable between a stowed position and an extended position in which the first section makes a second angle, larger than the first angle, to the wall; an engagement foot (26) pivotably mounted on a mounting element (24) having an adjustable length; and a hinge stop configured to prevent the leg moving beyond a maximum extended position. Wherein, in an extended position, the second section of the leg extends at a third angle to the wall equal to the difference between the second and first angles and the engagement foot causes a clamping force to be applied to the door.

  • Patent number: 9702174
    Abstract: A door brace (10) comprising a door engagement member (12), a leg (20) and an engagement foot (26). The door engagement member (12) comprises a bottom flange (14) for location under a bottom edge of a door (34) and an engagement wall (16) having one face (18) for location against one side of the door. The leg comprises a fixed length section(22)and an adjustable length section (24). The leg is hingedly connected to the engagement wall and is movable between a bracing position in which it extends at a first angle to the engagement wall and a released position in which it extends at a smaller angle to the engagement wall. The door brace has a released condition in which the leg is in the released position and the adjustable length section of the leg has a first length and a bracing condition in which the leg is in the bracing position and the adjustable length section of the leg has a longer length.

  • Publication number: 20160237726
    Abstract: A case latch assembly having a strike plate member provided on a first lock mounting part; a hinge member mounted on a second lock mounting part for pivotal movement about a pivot; a reciprocating element mounted for reciprocal movement on the hinge member, the reciprocating element having a strike plate engagement portion to a side of the pivot nearest to the first lock mounting part for engaging with the strike plate member, and a cantilever portion which extends to the side of the pivot furthest from the first lock mounting part; and a torsion element being arranged to apply torsion to the hinge member to bias the strike plate engagement portion away from the strike plate member as the reciprocating element moves between a first position and a second position, the cantilever portion interacts with a constraining formation on the second lock mounting part to offset the bias applied by the torsion element to cause the strike plate engagement portion to be deflected towards the strike plate member.
