Patent number: 10112333Abstract: An extruder hood configured to operate in a steady-state configuration and a non-steady-state configuration. The extruder hood comprises an air inlet, an extruder hood outlet, and an extruder discharge zone within an interior space of the extruder hood, with the extruder discharge zone configured to receive extruded material. In the steady-state configuration, the extruder hood is configured to direct air received from the air inlet across the extruder discharge zone to cause extruded material to be ejected from the extruder hood via the extruder hood outlet. In the non-steady-state configuration, the extruder hood is configured to direct air received from the air inlet out of the extruder hood via the extruder outlet without being directed across the extruder discharge zone.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2016Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Schenck Process LLCInventors: Jonathan O. Thorn, Russell A. Heinen, John W. Scott

Patent number: 8673239Abstract: A sample collector and test device is disclosed. The sample collector and test device may be used together as a diagnostic tool for collecting and assay of analytes contained in a sample. A sample collector is also disclosed which may be used with existing sample containers and or test devices. The sample collector may indicate sample adequacy when a sufficient volume of sample has been collected for assay and may also include a sample retaining feature which retains a portion of expressed sample for confirmatory testing, if desirable. The sample collector may also include a mechanism for expressing sample in a sample collector and/or test device. A test device is also disclosed for retaining and assay of an expressed sample. The disclosed test device may be used with existing sample collectors. In a preferred embodiment, test device is used with a preferred sample collector.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2011Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Orasure Technologies, Inc.Inventors: R. Sam Niedbala, John W. Scott, Peter A. Bourdelle, Hans H. Feindt

Patent number: 8038668Abstract: A cryosurgery device for dispensing a liquid refrigerant from a container having a valve stem extending outwardly therefrom. The device includes an actuator adapted to seat on the valve stem of the container in order to depress the valve stem to release the refrigerant from the container. The actuator includes an inner passageway having opposed ends disposed therein, one of the ends of the passageway being in fluid communication with the valve stem. An applicator tube is mounted to the actuator at the other end of the inner passageway. A cap is disposed on the top of the container. The actuator is movably positioned on the cap and a shield is attached to the cap to completely receiving the applicator tube. Liquid refrigerant can only be dispensed when the actuator is positioned properly and the applicator tube is disposed within the shield means.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2005Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignee: Orasure Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John W. Scott, William Eric Ross, Philip Michael Formica, Keith W. Kardos, Daniel Gary Shenberger, David Schiff, Peter Byar

Patent number: 7293662Abstract: A hanging shoe rack for a closet door or other vertical surface. Frame sections have opposite sides provided with support arms that taper from top to bottom for reduced material requirements. The sections are connected by bars and feet having L-shaped tongues fitting in L-shaped slots with long curved surfaces in contact for enhanced strength. The bars that receive hanger brackets have strong curved connections with the frame sides. The tongues on the bars that hook to the brackets are reinforced by tabs that fit closely in notches in the brackets to resist side to side sway.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2004Date of Patent: November 13, 2007Assignee: Lynk, Inc.Inventors: Richard B. Klein, John W. Scott, Chris Serslev

Patent number: 7118001Abstract: A storage rack which hangs on the upper edge of a base cabinet door. A pair of hanger brackets fit closely on the door edge and are constructed to accommodate the plain edge of a flush mounted door or the stepped edge of a recessed cabinet door. Hooks on the inside parts of the brackets receive mounting fixtures used to attach storage devices such as baskets, trays, shelves, paper towel holders, food wrap dispensers, towel hooks or towel bars. Tabs on the outside parts of the hanger brackets allow a towel bar or other device to be mounted on the outside surface of the base cabinet door. Alternative embodiments provide a single bracket which can be applied to both flush and recessed doors and which accommodates different types of storage devices that may be hooked or otherwise connected to the brackets. The connections between the brackets and storage devices can be made in various ways, including hooks fitting through openings and threaded connections.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2003Date of Patent: October 10, 2006Assignee: Lynk, Inc.Inventors: Richard B.
