Publication number: 20220403985Abstract: A sensor mounting assembly is configured for use with a vessel arrangement including at least four vessels. The assembly includes first and second elongated frame members, first and second rollers, and first and second sensors. The first sensor is attached to the first elongated frame member and is configured to contact the surface of the first vessel upon actuation in a first direction. The second sensor is attached to the second elongated frame member and is configured to contact the surface of the second vessel upon actuation in a second direction that is substantially orthogonal to the first direction. This disclosure also describes a method of mounting at least six sensors for use with a vessel arrangement including at least four vessels, the vessel arrangement disposed in a container in a two-by-two stacked configuration having a central space.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Ken Halvorsen, Brian Burks, Ryan Crocker

Patent number: 10502334Abstract: A system includes a valve, handle, guide, arm, channel, and projection. The handle is proximate the valve and is configured to open and close the valve. The handle is in a first position when the valve is open and in a second position when the valve is closed. The guide is connected to the handle. The arm is connected to the guide. The channel is located on one of the guide or the arm, the channel having opposed first and second ends. The projection is located on the other of the guide or the arm, the projection configured to be received in the channel. Moving the projection past a location of the first end of the channel pulls the guide and the handle, thereby moving the handle from the first position to the second position. The projection can be moved toward the second end while the handle remains in the second position.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Hexagon Technology ASInventors: Ryan Crocker, Ken Halvorsen

Publication number: 20160201118Abstract: The invention relates to synthetic nucleic acids and in particular, complementary pairs and their use as calibration standards for various techniques used to measure the interaction of biological molecules. The nucleotide sequence of the nucleic acids are non-naturally occurring and the single-stranded nucleic acids are essentially lacking in secondary structure, that is, the stability of hybridization between a single stranded nucleic acid and its complement is greater than any intra-strand pair binding. Characteristics of a binding pair can be used to standardize data across experiments, across instruments and across platforms.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2015Publication date: July 14, 2016Inventors: Paul F. AGRIS, Ken HALVORSEN

Patent number: 8668108Abstract: A pressure vessel has a composite shell; a boss defining a port in the composite shell and having a neck; and an interface element disposed between the composite shell and the boss. The interface element is neither bonded to the composite shell nor to the boss, thereby allowing for movement between the interface element and the composite shell and allowing for movement between the interface element and the boss. The interface element further includes a neck disposed adjacent the neck of the boss.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2010Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Inventors: Brian Yeggy, Ken Halvorsen, Robert Bruce
