Patent number: 8332758Abstract: An approach is provided that registers a component plug-in with a console application. A request is received from a user of the console application. The console application displays a console user interface in a predetermined interface style. The console application detects that the request corresponds to the component plug-in and sends an initial request to the component plug-in. The console application receives an initial model of an initial user interface from the component plug-in and this model is provided to the user in response to the initial request. The console application builds an initial component user interface based on the received initial model. The initial component user interface is also consistent with the predetermined interface style. The console application displays the initial component user interface and the console user interface in a common application window in the predetermined interface style.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2009Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John Bergeron, Jonathan S. Kung, Sridhar R. Muppidi, Borna Safabakhsh, Eric J. Wood

Publication number: 20100101977Abstract: A packaging form or blank for one or more lipped containers, where each of the containers has an upper lip that extends outward beyond the periphery of the container body, and where the containers have been placed one inside another to create a nested stack configuration. The form or blank is an elongated, flat construction that defines an opening that is sized and shaped such that when a container body is inserted through the opening, the form rests against the bottom of the lip of the container at the bottom of the stack. When the form is then folded over the stack, the form rests against the top of the lip of the container at the top of the stack.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2009Publication date: April 29, 2010Inventors: Frederick Beauregard, John Bergeron, William Eaton, James Bates

Patent number: 7264126Abstract: Supports used in pairs for storing and handling large sheets of heavy materials such as granite, stone and glass. Each support comprises a vertical, steel A-frame welded to a horizontal steel I-beam. Spaced-apart steel post holders are welded to the web of the I-beam. Removable vertical steel posts are inserted into some or all of the post holders to create “slots” for holding and supporting the sheets of material. Inserts can be placed in cavities parallel to the flanges of the I-beam to prevent the edges of the sheets of material from hitting the I-beam. Protective coatings can be attached or applied to the surfaces of the A-frame, the posts and the I-beam in order to protect the sheets of material. When the supports are used, sheets of material can be moved away from each other, utilizing the A-frame and posts, when a particular sheet is selected for removal.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2004Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: Bergeron Enterprises, Inc.Inventor: Russell John Bergeron

Patent number: 7122155Abstract: A parallel processing, fluid handling apparatus for concurrent temperature controlled preparation of a plurality of cell fraction samples adapted to be used for electron microscopic viewing. The apparatus comprises generally a sample receiving member, a fluid handling means, and a separation means. The sample receiving member comprises a plurality of discrete apertures each adapted to receive a biological sample therein. The fluid handling means for inserting and removing fluid to and from the plurality of apertures substantially in parallel, permits the biological samples to be processed substantially in parallel by the insertion and removal of processing fluid. The separation means permits the parallel isolated separation of the post-processing samples. The post-processing samples are adapted to be polymerized in embedding solution and removed from the sample receiving member.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2002Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: McGill UniversityInventors: Raymond Waterbury, Robert Kearney, John Bergeron

Publication number: 20050075297Abstract: A process for producing wet ribavirin pellets is provided in order to make pharmaceutical dosages of ribavirin. The process is particularly useful as an alternative method for preparing pharmaceutical dosages of ribavirin that reduces the amount of ribavirin dust that is produced during the manufacturing process and allows for greater control of dissolution rates. According to the preferred embodiments, this method is accomplished through mixing ribavirin with at least one excipient into a uniform mixture, forming the mixture into a granulated mass by adding a wetting agent, shaping said granulated mass into soluble particles and drying the flowable particles. The process enables Ribavirin pharmaceutical pellets to be mixed with a binder and disintegrant to form a uniform mixture.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2004Publication date: April 7, 2005Applicant: THREE RIVERS PHARMACEUTICAL, LLCInventors: Donald Kerrish, John Bergeron, Larry Augsburger
