Patent number: 11951036Abstract: A device for providing a droplet of a liquid stored in an interior of a vial is disclosed that includes a support body and a resilient dome portion mounted to the support body to form a chamber having air, with the dome portion being configured to create an air flow when activated by compression. The support body includes a vial seat, a nozzle, and air flow and transfer conduits. The support body is arranged, when the vial is received by the vial seat, such that the air flow conduit establishes an air connection between the vial interior and the chamber, the transfer conduit establishes a fluid connection between the vial and the nozzle, and, upon activation of the dome portion, the air flow delivers air into the vial that causes liquid to be transferred from the vial to the nozzle through the transfer conduit.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE INC.Inventors: Maxime Gaillot, Roberta Leah, Declan Reilly, Thomas Thueer, Jack Carroll, James Coop, Edward Sims, Mark Teucher

Patent number: 11951073Abstract: A device for transferring a liquid from a first vial to a second vial is disclosed having a dome portion configured to create an air flow when activated by compression and re-expansion, and a support body tightly supporting the dome portion to form a chamber with air therein. The support body includes first and second vial seats, and a transfer conduit. The first and second vial seats are arranged to receive the first and second vials. When the first and second vials are received in the first and second vial seats, the transfer conduit is arranged to establish a fluid connection between the first vial and the second vial. Upon activation of the dome portion, air is delivered into the first vial, thereby creating a pressure rise in the first vial which causes the liquid to transfer from the first vial to the second vial through the transfer conduit.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE INC.Inventors: Maxime Gaillot, Roberta Leah, Declan Reilly, Thomas Thueer, Jack Carroll, James Coop, Edward Sims, Mark Teucher

Patent number: 8247615Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a process to convert xanthophyll esters derived from Capsicum sources to their free (non-esterified) forms. The present invention is concerned with a process for obtaining Capsicum derived xanthophylls that meet the finished product needs for purity, yield, ease of use, industrial compatibility and cost that are required to make product suitable for the nutritional supplement, food and beverage industries. The present invention is concerned with a process which yields from 60 to 80%, of xanthophyll materials and nearly quantitative recovery of all input xanthophylls, which xanthophylls are of high purity. The present invention concerns a method to obtain xanthophyll esters present almost exclusively in the trans form when isolated from the natural plant sources. The present invention concerns a process to re-convert cis product back to the more desired trans form.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2010Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Kalamazoo Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Mark Reilly, Josh James Tuinstra, Lucas Chadwick, Mark Porter, James Barren, Gregory S.

Publication number: 20120023775Abstract: An aspect of the present invention includes a footwear assembly comprising: an upper and a sole assembly connected to the upper. The sole assembly has a footwear assembly comprising a sole assembly connected to an upper. The sole assembly has a midsole made of a first material and having a forefoot portion, an arch portion, a heel portion, and a sidewall extending around a lateral side, a medial side, and a heel side of the midsole. A stiffener is connected to the midsole. The stiffener is made of a second material stiffer than the first material. The stiffener has a base portion adjacent to the arch portion and at least one of the forefoot portion and the heel portion of the midsole. The stiffener has a side stabilizer and a heel wrap coupled to the base portion. The side stabilizer is adjacent to the sidewall in at least one of the arch portion and forefoot portion. The heel wrap is adjacent to the heel side and at least one of the lateral side and medial side of the midsole's sidewall.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2011Publication date: February 2, 2012Inventors: Mark Reilly, Kent Thomas, Stephen Belatti, Ryan Dowd

Publication number: 20100275465Abstract: A footwear assembly configured in accordance with one embodiment of the disclosure includes a footwear product, such as a boot, shoe, overshoe, etc., with a scent blocking extension member removably attached to an upper of the footwear product. The extension member can be tightened around the lower leg or ankle of a user to block scent from exiting the inside of the footwear product. The extension member can be made from material that is treated or otherwise configured to block scent (e.g., human scent). The extension member can be removably attached to the footwear product to allow the user to remove the extension member if not required, or to wash the extension member separate from the footwear product.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2010Publication date: November 4, 2010Inventors: Mark Reilly, John W. Ludemann, Justin Behnke
