Patent number: 11950917Abstract: An animated electrophysiology map is generated from a plurality of data points, each including measured electrophysiology information, location information, and timing information. The electrophysiology and location information can be used to generate the electrophysiology map, such as a local activation time, peak-to-peak voltage, or fractionation map. Animated timing markers can be superimposed upon the electrophysiology map using the electrophysiology, location, and timing information. For example a series of frames can be displayed sequentially, each including a static image of the electrophysiology map at a point in time and timing markers corresponding to the state or position of an activation wavefront at the point in time superimposed thereon. The visibility or opacity of the timing markers can be adjusted from frame to frame, dependent upon a distance between the timing marker and the activation wavefront, to give the illusion that the timing markers are moving along the electrophysiology map.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: Mark Hagfors, Michael A. Quinn

Publication number: 20240100778Abstract: Control systems and methods for efficiently and effectively achieving and/or maintaining a parallel configuration between a build plate and a printing release surface of an additive manufacturing printer are provided. The methods include actions of over-plunging a drive point into a printing release surface and then calculating the build plate position until it achieves a desired target position. Other methods focus on a homing process for setting a zero position of the build plate. Structures used to help prevent build plate deflection include various armatures having a pinned configuration that help to stabilize a location of the build plate to maintain a substantially parallel configuration with respect to the printing release surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Scott GOODRICH, Michael SANTORELLA, Alex QUINN, Andrew J.

Patent number: 11859756Abstract: A system for locating a leak site in an underground water pipeline comprises a leak detection element, means for introducing the leak detection element into the pipeline through an outlet of a hydrant, and means for detecting the location of the leak detection element from above the ground. The means for introducing the leak detection element into the pipeline includes capping means adapted for attachment to, and sealing of, the outlet of the hydrant. The capping means has at least one opening therethrough to allow passage of an elongate rod or hose through the capping means and into the outlet of the hydrant. The capping means is provided with a substantially waterproof membrane to provide a seal between the capping means and the outlet of the hydrant, and the at least one opening is provided with a substantially waterproof membrane to provide a seal between the rod or hose and the at least one opening. A method for locating a leak site in an underground water pipeline is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: QINOV8 UK LTDInventors: Michael Quinn, Mark Quinn

Patent number: 11795429Abstract: Described herein are isolated cell culture components such as, e.g., biologics and/or lipids, and methods for isolating cell culture components from a liquid cell culture medium. Methods of the present invention may include contacting a dehydration composition and a liquid cell culture medium comprising a target component to form a mixture; forming an at least partially dehydrated component in the mixture; and separating the at least partially dehydrated component from the mixture, thereby providing an isolated component. In some embodiments, the isolated component comprises the at least partially dehydrated component. In some embodiments, the isolated component is present in a composition (e.g., liquid phase) separated from the at least partially dehydrated component.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Lindy Biosciences, Inc.Inventors: Deborah Lee Bitterfield, Michael Quinn Doherty

Patent number: 11788644Abstract: A proportional valve is provided that comprises an input port (3) and an output port (5), with a diaphragm (19) therebetween. A diaphragm plate (21) with a pilot orifice (31) formed therethrough is mounted to the diaphragm (19). The valve has a solenoid (7) comprising an armature (15) and a field winding (17), with the armature being movable in an opening direction in response to a magnetic field generated by the field winding. A spring assembly (13) is arranged to provide a biassing force to the armature (15) in its closing direction. In its closed position, the diaphragm plate (21) sits in a main orifice (20) between the input and output ports to block flow of fluid therebetween, with the armature (15) blocking the pilot orifice (31). Opening movement of the armature (15) opens the pilot orifice (31) to allow fluid to flow therethrough, in turn allowing the diaphragm plate (21) to move out of the main orifice (20) to create a gap allowing flow of fluid from the input port (3) to the output port (5).Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2015Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignees: Hydralectric Group Ltd, EKI D.O.O.Inventors: Michael Quinn, Anton Stefanic
