Patent number: 11926808Abstract: An apparatus for collecting or culturing cells or cell colonies includes: a common substrate formed from a flexible resilient polymeric material and having a plurality of wells formed therein; and a plurality of rigid cell carriers releasably connected to said common substrate, with said carriers arranged in the form of an array, and with each of the carriers resiliently received in one of the wells. A method of collecting or culturing cells or cell colonies with such an apparatus is carried out by depositing a liquid media carrying cells on the apparatus so that said cells settle on or adhere to said the carriers; and then (c) releasing at least one selected carrier having said cells thereon by gradual application of release energy to each carrier from the cavity in which it is received (e.g., by pushing with a probe).Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: The University of North Carolina at Chapel HillInventors: Nancy L. Allbritton, Christopher E. Sims, Yuli Wang, Pavak Kirit Shah

Publication number: 20100185930Abstract: A method and system incorporate server-side application functionality into client-side web pages. A web page includes a script tag that identifies a location on a server from which to acquire script code when a browser processes the script tag. An application running on the server receives a request for a data entry form when the browser executes script associated with the script tag. In response to this request, the application generates the data entry form, in one embodiment configuring attributes of the data entry form in accordance with user-supplied information. The application transmits the data entry form to the browser and maintains a state of user interaction with the data entry form. The application can subsequently capture and save user-supplied data submitted through the data entry form, and, based on the captured user-supplied data, state of user interaction, or both, determine a next screen presentation for the browser to render.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2010Publication date: July 22, 2010Applicant: AUTOMATED RESOURCES GROUP, LLCInventors: Geoffrey Matsushita Scott, Tushar Kirit Shah, Manohar Reddy Nallaballe

Patent number: 6052590Abstract: An improved band scan method is claimed which allows a mobile unit to more quickly locate appropriate control channels in a wireless communications system operating on a communications spectrum having channel bands. The method includes storing a list of acceptable service providers in the mobile unit, receiving service provider information identifying the service provider for a particular control channel, receiving minimum acceptable signal strength information for the control channel, determining the acceptability of the service provider by comparing the received service provider information against the acceptable service provider list, and, if the service provider is acceptable, comparing the received signal strength for the control channel against the minimum acceptable level.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1997Date of Patent: April 18, 2000Assignee: Ericsson, Inc.Inventors: Scott Gordon Hicks, Richard Michael Abdella, Amish Kirit Shah
