Patent number: 11865544Abstract: The disclosure provides a system and method to safely and efficiently store and transport process tubes in a carrier tray comprising prior to and during amplification of nucleotides in the process tubes. The process tube disclosed includes a securement region having an annular ledge, a neck, and a protrusion. The securement region of the process tube can secure the process tube in a port of the carrier tray, but still allows the process tube to adjust or float in order to align the process tube into a rigid heater well of a thermal cycler.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Michael J. Baum, Brent Pohl, Ed Belsinger

Patent number: 9338238Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing and controlling multiple automation components coupled via a building automation network. The computer implemented method includes receiving, via the building automation network, a first operational schedule from a first automation device where the first operational schedule is formatted according to a first protocol, receiving, via the building automation network, a second operational schedule from a second automation device where the second operational schedule is formatted according to a second protocol, converting the received second operational schedule from the second protocol to the first protocol, generating a unified schedule that includes the first operational schedule and the converted second operational schedule, and displaying the unified schedule in a user accessible manner.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2011Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Siemens Industry, Inc.Inventors: Lonnie Douglas Spears, Charles James Koerner, Michael J. Marchi, Patrick M. Nickels, Michael J. Baum

Patent number: 9002854Abstract: Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention provide the ability to organize, index, search, and present time series data based on searches. Time series data are sequences of time stamped records occurring in one or more usually continuous streams, representing some type of activity. In one embodiment, time series data is organized into discrete events with normalized time stamps and the events are indexed by time and keyword. A search is received and relevant event information is retrieved based in whole or in part on the time indexing mechanism, keyword indexing mechanism, or statistical indices calculated at the time of the search.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2012Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Baum, David Carasso, Robin K. Das, Rory Greene, Brad Hall, Nick Mealy, Brian Murphy, Stephen Sorkin, Andre Stechert, Erik M. Swan

Patent number: 8589321Abstract: Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention provide the ability to organize and build understandings of machine data generated by a variety of information-processing environments. Machine data is a product of information-processing systems (e.g., activity logs, configuration files, messages, database records) and represents the evidence of particular events that have taken place and been recorded in raw data format. In one embodiment, machine data is turned into a machine data web by organizing machine data into events and then linking events together.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2011Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Baum, David Carasso, Robin K. Das, Brad Hall, Brian Murphy, Stephen Sorkin, Andre Stechert, Erik M. Swan, Rory Greene, Nicholas Christian Mealy, Christina Noren

Patent number: 8033369Abstract: A luggage device having fully recessed legs that may be selectively engaged to translate and pivot about an axis to facilitate controlled movement from a fully recessed storage position to an operative position for conveniently transporting large heavy objects within the luggage. The fully recessed translation biased cantilever leg luggage device includes a dextral leg recess for receiving a dextral leg, and a sinistral leg recess for receiving a sinistral leg. Each leg recess has an engagement region, a storage region, and a pivot. Additionally, the engagement region includes a leg engagement region storage location, a leg engagement region operative location, and a leg engagement region transition region; through which a portion of the leg pivots about the axis and transitions from the fully recessed storage position to an operative position.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2009Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Club Glider Holdings, LLCInventors: Gary Sherrell, Michael J. Baum, William Pangburn, Adam Smith, Cameron Smith, Glenn Johnson
