Patent number: 9499267Abstract: Ground-accessing elevator systems and methods are provided for transporting personnel between the ground level and one or more decks of multi-level vehicle such as a fixed-wing aircraft. The vehicle elevator systems and methods may be implemented using a multi-track guide rail system configured to guide an elevator car between the ground and two or more levels within a vehicle. The multi-track guide rail system may include an intra-vehicle track fixed to the vehicle structure and configured to guide the elevator car between decks of the vehicle, and a separate deployment track may be configured to telescope downward from the intra-vehicle guide rail track to guide the elevator car during deployment to the ground from the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2014Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: L-3 Communications Integrated Systems LPInventors: Wayne J. Ehlert, Michael G. Glenn, James R. Grimes, Loyd R. Hamilton, Christopher M. Jackson, Mark A. McCoy, Richard R. Pardun, Paul H. Peterson, Albert W. Ruggles, Scot A. Stephens

Patent number: 7839507Abstract: Methods and systems for processing signals to minimize the effects of dye crosstalk. Deconvolution of multiplexed dye signals can include corrections for residual error determined from experimental measurements. Residual error corrections can account for reaction or assay specific factors and modify the subsequent filtering of signals. Correction values can be determined for specific dye-probe conjugates to minimize dye crosstalk and may be combined with residual error correction to further minimize errors in spectral deconvolution. Apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media can process signals and modify filters based on values obtained using the methods.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2007Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Applied Biosystems, LLCInventors: Stephen J. Gunstream, David C. Woo, John P. Bodeau, Mark A. McCoy
