Publication number: 20190071644Abstract: Methods provided by the present disclosure utilize extracorporeal shockwaves, mechanical impacts and/or principles of lithotripsy to break up a tissue sample into smaller fragments—clusters of cells and/or single cells—after which a desired cellular fraction can be isolated from the sample. Devices provided by the present disclosure deploy focused and/or directed shockwaves, and/or focused and directed mechanical impacts, to break apart a tissue sample. The devices maintain the sample in a sterile, closed environment during exposure to the shockwaves or mechanical impacts. Therefore, the shockwaves and/or mechanical impacts are generated outside of a closed device and are transmitted through one or more walls of the device into its interior, where the sample is located.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2017Publication date: March 7, 2019Inventors: John Chi, Raymond Raven, Mark Richman, Ben-Chen Chi

Patent number: 9307297Abstract: A distribution system for vehicle information systems and methods for manufacturing and using the same. The distribution system supports both Wi-Fi- and cellular-based wireless networks for the distribution of selected content to a plurality of handheld devices disposed throughout a passenger vehicle via a bypass system (e.g., a Local Internet Protocol Access (LIPA) and Selected Internet Protocol Traffic Offload (SIPTO) bypass system). In an alternative embodiment, the distribution system can be configured for distribution of the selected content from a terrestrial content system to a plurality of passenger vehicles via the bypass system. By dynamically balancing network traffic across the multiple wireless networks, the distribution system can alleviate heavy traffic network and bypass a service provider's cellular core network to optimize signal bandwidth and network performance.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Panasonic Avionics CorporationInventors: Russell Mark Richman, Hasse Sinivaara

Patent number: 8521333Abstract: An improved method and system for flue gas recirculation (FGR) from the ID Fan located downstream of a scrubber (or other Air Quality Control Equipment including cyclones, baghouses, etc., hereafter “AQC equipment”) back to the scrubber (or other AQC Equipment) inlet to maintain the minimum required flue gas throughput during low-load conditions, thereby eliminating the need for a separate booster fan. A flue gas recirculation duct is connected from downstream of the ID Fan to the inlet of the scrubber (or other AQC Equipment). A variable flow restrictor is placed in the duct downstream of the ID Fan for controlling pressure of the recirculated flue gas. The flow restrictor is controlled in accordance to a function of boiler load or flue gas flow to produce the required backpressure that enables the flue gas to flow through the recirculation duct back to the inlet of the scrubber (or other AQC Equipment) at low loads.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2009Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Andritz Environmental SolutionsInventors: Mark Richman, Michael Hoeg Nielsen, Ralph Joseph Lebron

Patent number: 8023893Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for wireless communication among integrated circuit devices within a single enclosure. Each of a plurality of integrated circuit devices within a single enclosure has one or more antennas that permit wireless communication. A signal destined for one or more integrated circuit devices within the same enclosure is transmitted by the transmitting integrated circuit device using an associated antenna. The transmitted signal is received by the antennas of each destination integrated circuit device. The present invention provides for pin to pin wireless transmission and reception among at least two integrated circuit devices. A plurality of channels may be achieved using known multiplexing techniques, such as time division multiplexing or the transmission of multiple signals at different carrier frequencies or on different antennas.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2003Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Agere Systems Inc.Inventor: Russell Mark Richman

Publication number: 20050071180Abstract: A method used by an computerized export control system (105) for online information such as documents allows log-on (210) by a user only when the user has a verified citizenship that is recorded and available to the computerized export control system. The computerized export control system records (330) a user entered export control classification number (ECCN) for the new document, when the ECCN matches an ECCN on a recorded list of valid ECCN's. A document is recorded as being commerce restricted when at least one of the following statements is true (705, 710): no export classification control number (ECCN) is recorded for the document, and at least one recorded ECCN is export controlled. The system automatically notifies an Export Control Specialist (365) when a document is submitted that has an export workflow restriction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2003Publication date: March 31, 2005Inventors: Mark Richman, Teri Rowe, Jeff Young, Lawrence Grenon

Patent number: 4322392Abstract: Sulfur dioxide is scrubbed from boiler flue gases in a double-loop alkali scrubber, one a quencher loop and the other an absorption loop. The reagent flow of the two loops is isolated so that none of the reagent from the quencher loop is cycled to the absorber loop and a portion of the make-up water for the quencher loop is received from the absorber loop. By controlling recycled water from a dewatering system and selective utilization of high and low solids streams from the absorber system, the quencher slurry concentration may be controlled and the requirement for new make-up water reduced. The two loop process isolates the main absorber system including the demisters, which are prone to scaling and corrosion, from the evaporative quencher portion of the process. All the recycled water is returned to the evaporative quencher loop and none to the loop controlling the demisters and the primary absorber sections. However, under varying SO.sub.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 1980Date of Patent: March 30, 1982Assignee: Research-Cottrell, Inc.Inventors: Robert J. Gleason, Mark Richman, Paul E. Cooke
