Patent number: 12235043Abstract: The present disclosure provides, among other things, methods of drying porcine thyroid gland material and manufacturing DTE comprising vacuum drying porcine thyroid gland material in a way such that the temperature of the porcine thyroid gland material is maintained above a threshold temperature. Since applying vacuum, or reducing pressure, has a cooling effect on the porcine thyroid gland material, maintaining the porcine thyroid gland material above a threshold temperature can be achieved by gradually reducing pressure while simultaneously increasing the heat applied to the porcine thyroid gland material during the period of gradual pressure change. Such methods are advantageous in reducing bioburden (killing and impeding the growth of microorganisms) while maintaining therapeutic levels of thyroid hormones, as compared to certain methods of drying porcine thyroid gland material and/or manufacturing DTE known in the art.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2024Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: ALI Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Ryan Cole, Austin Soejoto, Matthew Costanzo, Andrew Perea, Nathan Wecker, Daniel Baumann, Benjamin Wademan, Shedrick Williams, Kevin Tang

Patent number: 12201998Abstract: The disclosure relates to a bell plate for a rotary atomizer for applying a coating agent (e.g. paint) to a component (e.g. motor vehicle body component). The bell plate according to the disclosure comprises a metallic base body and a transponder which can be read out wirelessly and is integrated in the bell plate. The disclosure provides that the transponder is arranged on the front side in the base body or is embedded in the outer outer circumferential surface of the bell plate, which facilitates the read-out of the transponder. Furthermore, the disclosure comprises a suitably adapted atomizer cleaning device having an antenna for reading out the transponder in the bell plate. Finally, the disclosure also comprises a correspondingly adapted operating method.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2020Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Dürr Systems AGInventors: Thomas Buck, Kevin Preuss, Michael Baumann, Frank Herre, Bernhard Seiz, Hans-Jürgen Nolte, Daniel Luz

Patent number: 6832118Abstract: Components designed for use in networked control and monitoring systems including dedicated memory objects which store data representative of the system, the component and the function of the component in the system. The component-specific information may include data indicating the physical location of the component in the system. The objects are reprogrammable to adapt to system changes. A system comprising the components allows the objects to be accessed via a data network. Controlled or monitored parameters of the components may thus be collected in association with the other data stored in the objects.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2000Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: G.
