Patent number: 10029882Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a looped pile film roll core used for winding a polymeric film, a method of winding film on the looped pile film roll core, and a roll of film that includes the looped pile film roll core. The disclosure describes an article and a process to reduce the core impressions created by the starting end of a web on the adjacent web layers next to the core. In one particular embodiment, the present disclosure can lead to a reduction in the amount and severity of such core impressions on a wound polymeric film, by reducing the amount of stress in adjacent layers of wound web.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2013Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Kevin B. Newhouse, Bruce E. Tait, Terence A. Lee, Michael L. Smith, Kyle Taggart, Stanley T. Mann, Ronald L. Holmes, Timothy J. Edman, Mark T. Reed, Carsten Franke, Chris J. Tanley

Patent number: 9457351Abstract: The invention relates to a device for carrying out of chemical or biological reactions with a reaction vessel receiving element for receiving a microtiter plate with several reaction vessels, wherein the reaction vessel receiving element has several recesses arranged in a regular pattern to receive the respective reaction vessels, a heating device for heating the reaction vessel receiving element, and a cooling device for cooling the reaction vessel. The invention is characterized by the fact that the reaction vessel receiving element is divided into several segments. The individual segments are thermally decoupled from one another, and each segment is assigned a heating device which may be actuated independently of the others. By means of the segmentation of the reaction vessel receiving element, it is possible for zones to be set and held at different temperatures.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: Applied Biosystems, LLCInventors: Lim Hi Tan, Jew Kwee Ngui, Hon Siu Shin, Ui Leng Soh, Yang Hooi Kee, Hock Lai Khoo, Mark T.

Patent number: 9347440Abstract: A flow cell for use in a microfluidic detection system. The flow cell includes a flow cell body having a channel that extends along the flow cell body. The flow cell body has a substrate material that extends along the channel and that is transparent to at least one of excitation light or light emissions. The channel has a functionalized channel surface that includes reactive groups configured to attach to molecules for biochemical analysis. The flow cell also includes fluidic inlet and fluidic outlet ports provided on the flow cell body and an electroosmotic (EO) pump held within the flow cell body in fluid communication with the channel. The EO pump is operable to induce flow of a solution from the inlet port to the outlet port and along the functionalized channel surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2012Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Illumina, Inc.Inventors: Michal Lebl, Dale Buermann, Mark T.
