Patent number: 11307180Abstract: A method for the automatic chromatography of thin-layer plates for thin-layer chromatography with a development chamber 1 in which a thin-layer plate D is completely enclosed, sealed-off and isolated from the external environment. In the development chamber, a front space containing an inner atmosphere is located on the front face of the separation layer of the thin-layer plate. The depth of the front space is about 2 mm and a maximum 3 mm. An inlet is provided at one end of the front space and an outlet is provided at the other end of the front space. During the chromatographic development, a stream of gas of particular composition determined by the user is created throughout the entire front space, the entire inner atmosphere being set in motion, without stagnant or stationary gas phase.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: CAMAG CHEMIE-ERZEUGNISSE UND ADSORPTIONSTECHNIK, AGInventors: Bastian Gutmann, Nicolas Richerdt, Urs Lukas Schranz, Mark Howell Sturgess

Patent number: 10587703Abstract: Technology for providing communication connectivity between network entities located in different isolated communication networks through a centralized cloud service. A cloud service connector in a source communication network receives an initial connection request from a source end point device in the source communication network, and determines a customer name and requested service associated with the port number indicated in the request. Mappings are established between the source end point device and a destination end point device that provides the requested service from within a destination communication network that is associated with the customer name.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2018Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Ricardo Fernando Feijoo, Kenneth Bell, Mark Howell, Manbir Chauhan

Patent number: 9193079Abstract: A linkage mechanism for a wet shaving razor is provided. The linkage mechanism is pivotally connected to and suspended from the handle at one end and pivotally and removably attached to the cartridge carrier at an opposite end allowing the cartridge carrier to pivot about a virtual pivot axis located below the shaving plane and into the skin. The linkage mechanism provides flexibility in positioning the virtual pivot axis since it is not limited to the physical constraints of the cartridge. As a result, the shaving razor cartridge has a flatter contact with the skin throughout the shaving stroke providing shaving comfort with reduced nicks and cuts.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2011Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: The Gillette CompanyInventors: Daren Mark Howell, Ian Anthony Goodhead, Terence Gordon Royle

Patent number: 9015951Abstract: A razor cartridge has a housing, a guard located at a front of the housing and a cap located at a rear of the housing. A skin contact element is disposed in the housing partway between the guard and the cap. A skin contact plane defines a plane tangential to the guard and the skin contact element and a plane tangential to the skin contact element and the cap. One or more blades are located between the guard and the skin contact element, each of the blades having a cutting edge located at a distance y1 between 70 ?m and 300 ?m and at an angle ?1 between 20° and 45° below the skin contact plane. One or more blades are located between the skin contact element and the cap, each of the blades having a cutting edge located at an angle ?2 above or below the skin contact plane, wherein ?2 is lower in magnitude than ?1.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2012Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: The Gillette CompanyInventors: Daren Mark Howell, Andrew Martin Whittingham
