Publication number: 20240068943Abstract: Instrument control and data acquisition in advanced analytic systems that utilize optical pulses for sample analysis are described. Clocking signals for data acquisition, data processing, communication, and/or other data handling functionalities can be derived from an on-board pulsed optical source, such as a passively mode-locked laser. The derived clocking signals can operate in combination with one or more clocking signals from a stable oscillator, so that instrument operation and data handling can tolerate interruptions in operation of the pulsed optical source.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Quantum-Si IncorporatedInventors: Jonathan M. Rothberg, Benjamin Cipriany, Faisal R. Ahmad, Joseph D. Clark, Daniel B. Frier, Michael Ferrigno, Mel Davey, Thomas Raymond Thurston, Brett J. Gyarfas, Todd Rearick, Jeremy Christopher Jordan

Publication number: 20240069161Abstract: In one embodiment, a lidar system includes a wavelength-tunable light source configured to emit pulses of light, each emitted pulse of light having a particular wavelength of multiple different wavelengths. The lidar system also includes a scanner configured to scan the emitted pulses of light across a field of regard of the lidar system. The scanner includes (i) a beam deflector configured to angularly deflect each emitted pulse of light along a first scan axis according to the particular wavelength of the emitted pulse of light and (ii) a scan mirror configured to scan the emitted pulses of light along a second scan axis different from the first scan axis. The lidar system further includes a receiver configured to detect a received pulse of light that includes a portion of one of the emitted pulses of light scattered by a target located a distance from the lidar system.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Joseph G. LaChapelle, Jason M. Eichenholz, Roger S. Cannon, Stephen D. Gaalema, William R. Clark, Alex Michael Sincore

Patent number: 10611786Abstract: Reactions that directly install nitrogen into C—H bonds of complex molecules are significant because of their potential to change the chemical and biological properties of a given compound. Selective intramolecular C—H amination reactions that achieve high levels of reactivity, while maintaining excellent site-selectivity and functional-group tolerance is a challenging problem. Herein is reported a manganese perchlorophthalocyanine catalyst [MnIII(ClPc)] for intermolecular benzylic C—H amination of bioactive molecules and natural products that proceeds with unprecedented levels of reactivity and site-selectivity. In the presence of Brønsted or Lewis acid, the [MnIII(ClPc)]-catalyzed C—H amination demonstrates unique tolerance for tertiary amine, pyridine and benzimidazole functionalities. Mechanistic studies indicate that C—H amination proceeds through an electrophilic metallonitrene intermediate via a stepwise pathway where C—H cleavage is the rate-determining step of the reaction.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the University of IllinoisInventors: M. Christina White, Joseph R. Clark, Kaibo Feng, Anasheh Sookezian, Chloe Wendell

Patent number: 10405686Abstract: A super steam cup cooking appliance, for cooking various food products, comprises a housing, a steam generator, and an individually-sized serving cup removably attached from the appliance housing. The steam generated by the steam generator flows into a steam manifold, a steam delivery conduit, and a steam discharge pipe. A steam flux director can be removably attached to the steam discharge. Steam, generated by means of the steam generator, can thus flow into the steam manifold, through the steam delivery conduit, through the steam discharge pipe, and out from the steam flux director so as to be conducted onto the food product disposed within the individually-sized serving cup such that the food product is cooked by the steam exiting from the steam flux director. The appliance can operate either with the steam flux director attached to the steam discharge pipe, or without the steam flux director being attached to the steam discharge pipe.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2017Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: A. J. Antunes & Co.Inventors: Bhupendra Patel, Francisco Vega, Chad Elliott, Joseph R. Clark

Patent number: 9615676Abstract: The present invention comprises a linear array of LEDs which can be utilized in conjunction with a product display case wherein the linear array of LEDs is operatively mounted upon, and disposed immediately adjacent to, a first end edge portion of a glass plate so as to effectively illuminate the glass plate by means of total internal reflection principles whereby the glass plate operatively serves as a light pipe such that the light emitted from a second opposite end edge portion of the glass light pipe can illuminate the interior portion of the product display case. Alternatively, the linear array of LED lights can be operatively mounted upon, and disposed immediately adjacent to, an edge portion of a glass shelf disposed within the product display case so as to likewise illuminate the glass shelf itself by means of total internal reflection principles whereby the illumination from the glass shelf serves to illuminate the products being displayed.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2014Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: A.J.

Patent number: 7414856Abstract: An electronics module assembly for detachably retaining a pair of electronic sub-modules in a single slot of a chassis. A host module of the electronics module assembly is configured to be detachably received and retained in a slot of the chassis. The host module has a height corresponding with a height of the slot of the chassis. A pair of sub-modules are configured to be detachably received and retained in the host module. The combined height of the sub-modules is no greater than the height dimension of the slot of the chassis. Therefore, where there was once only room for one electronics module in a single slot of the chassis, a pair of sub-modules with the host module may now be utilized in the single slot of the chassis.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2005Date of Patent: August 19, 2008Assignee: Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.Inventors: Daniel J.
