Patent number: 11992521Abstract: A method is described for producing a pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide protein conjugate in which one or more activated pneumococcal polysaccharides of particular pneumococcal serotypes and carrier protein are separately lyophilized, the separately lyophilized polysaccharides and carrier protein are separately reconstituted in an organic solvent, and the reconstituted polysaccharide and carrier protein are then combined together by Tee-mixing and conjugated together to produce polysaccharide carrier protein conjugates. A plurality of conjugates, each comprising polysaccharides of a particular serotype, may be used to produce multivalent pneumococcal immunogenic compositions having a combination of conjugates for use in vaccines.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLCInventors: Patrick Leonard Ahl, Akhilesh Bhambhani, Christopher Jon Farrell, Patrick McHugh, Morrisa C.

Publication number: 20240133867Abstract: A breath capture and analysis system includes a breath inlet for capturing a user's breath. The breath is drawn into the system and retained for analysis. The system includes a membrane that allows volatile organic compounds contained in the breath to pass therethrough. The volatile organic compounds pass into a vacuum chamber that includes a residual gas analyzer that is configured to analyze the volatile organic compounds. The analyzed breath is then vacated from the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: David Staack, Daniel Arthur McAdams, II, Matthew Leonard Burnette, Devesh Bhasin, Xin Tang, Maulik Kotecha, Kavita Rathore, Christopher Campbell, Jason G.

Publication number: 20230280031Abstract: An improved gas fireplace hearth provides a controller and can perform new features. A pressure sensor may be provided to communicate to the controller to warn of a drop of inlet gas pressure to indicate a problem with gas service rather than the hearth. An ambient temperature sensor can provide an input to the controller for various features including a safety feature to shut off gas flow if the hearth becomes too hot. The hearth can be made more efficient by having the controller implement a zero voltage alternating current system to adjust the speed of the fan, flame height, lighting, BTU output or other feature.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Matthew Leonard, Jonathan Barnes

Publication number: 20230211162Abstract: Systems and methods for improving behavioral therapies encompassing therapies wherein a perceptual stimulus is administered to a subject or a motor behavior is performed by the subject. Such administration of perceptual stimuli or motor performance is paired with the delivery of vagus nerve stimulation to the subject. The vagus nerve stimulation is timed with the sensory stimulus administration or motor performance in a temporal alignment that maximizes neuroplasticity and performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2021Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: Matthew Leonard, Edward Chang, William Schuerman, Bharath Chandrasekaran, Fernando Llanos Lucas

Publication number: 20220322878Abstract: An outdoor grill has a processor and remote-controlled valves (electronic or digital) whereby the processor directs gas flow to at least one burner below a grate. Sensors can be utilized to maintain temperature at the grate. A meat probe can be used to provide input to the processor to reduce temperature upon reaching a predetermined value. The processor may wirelessly communicate with a portable computing device for remote control or monitoring of status.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2022Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Jonathan Barnes, Matthew Leonard, Aaron Rachelson

Publication number: 20200134537Abstract: Systems for determining alternative job titles to use when querying online recruiting databases. Multiple computers are operatively interconnected for determining a set of alternative job titles from a set of job parameters, and using the alternative job titles when querying online job and/or candidate posting corpora. A method embodiment commences upon parsing a given job requisition to identify at least one job title string that corresponds to at least one job title. The job title is normalized in accordance with a set of normalization rules to form a normalized job title string. The normalized job title string is then used to access machine learning models, which are in turn used to classify the job title string and to produce alternative titles that correspond to the job title. The alternative titles are used for querying online job posting corpora to retrieve postings that match at least one of the alternative titles.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2019Publication date: April 30, 2020Inventors: William Alexander Beason, Matthew Leonard Hendrickson, Jason Earl Ball

Publication number: 20190039825Abstract: A wastebasket stand device is an apparatus that enables a user to contain and support a wastebasket during general use and to facilitate removal of the garbage bag. A properly-sized wastebasket is securely and detachably attached to the base panel of the apparatus using the basket-attachment mechanism. The apparatus allows the user to conveniently hold the device in place while pulling the heavy and full garbage bag out of the wastebasket. The height-adjustment poles located in the support structure allows the user to efficiently adjust the apparatus to the desired height, thus to avoid arms and body strain, and potential back injury. Furthermore, the apparatus includes either grips or lockable wheels to allow the user to easily move the apparatus without damaging any flooring materials.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventor: Richard Matthew Leonard

Patent number: 9002533Abstract: A message generation module generates a message that is to be transmitted to a serial data bus of the vehicle once per first predetermined period. A queue manager module resets a timer value when the message is added to a transmit queue and selectively adds the message to the transmit queue when: a number of messages in the transmit queue is less than a first predetermined value; the timer value is greater than the first predetermined period; and one of (i) the first predetermined period is less than a second predetermined period and (ii) the first predetermined period is greater than the second predetermined period and the number of messages in the transmit queue is less than a second predetermined value. The second predetermined value is less than the first predetermined value. A communication control module selectively transmits messages from the transmit queue to the serial data bus.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2011Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: GM Global Technology OperationsInventors: Matthew Leonard Kaufer, Patrick L.

Patent number: 8631891Abstract: A vehicular powertrain system includes an engine, an electro-mechanical transmission and an electric machine arranged in an input-split hybrid configuration. A control system for the powertrain system includes a control module signally connected to a plurality of input devices and configured to execute program code stored on a computer readable medium to control the powertrain. The program code monitors operator inputs, determines an intent to service the vehicle based upon the operator inputs, commands the electric machine to generate a net torque output of zero, and controls the engine speed correlative to an operator depression of an accelerator pedal.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2012Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignees: GM Global Technology Operations LLC, Daimler AG, Chrysler Group LLC, Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Marek L.
