Publication number: 20150118688Abstract: Provided herein are methods, systems, and devices for detecting and/or identifying one or more specific microorganisms in a culture sample. Indicator particles, such as surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-active nanoparticles, each having associated therewith one or more specific binding members having an affinity for the one or more microorganisms of interest, can form a complex with specific microorganisms in the culture sample. Further, agitating magnetic capture particles also having associated therewith one or more specific binding members having an affinity for the one or more microorganisms of interest can be used to capture the microorganism-indicator particle complex and concentrate the complex in a localized area of an assay vessel for subsequent detection and identification. The complex can be dispersed, pelleted, and redispersed so that the culture sample can be retested a number of times during incubation so as to allow for real-time monitoring of the culture sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: April 30, 2015Inventors: Kristin Weidemaier, Robert L. Campbell, Erin Gooch Carruthers, Adam C. Curry, Kevin G. Dolan, Andrea Liebmann-Vinson, Wendy Dale Woodley, Melody M.H. Kuroda, Ammon David Lentz, Dwight Livingston, Michael Justin Lizzi, Artis R.

Patent number: 8949665Abstract: An integrated bus controller and power supply device includes a typical or standard bus controller and a bus power supply disposed in a common housing, the size and external configuration of which may match a standard bus controller device associated with a typical I/O communication network. The bus controller may store and implement one or more control routines using one or more field devices connected to the I/O communication network while the bus power supply generates and provides the appropriate power signal to the bus of the I/O communication network, the power signal being used to power the field devices connected to the I/O communication network.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2010Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Inc.Inventors: Gary Keith Law, Kent Allen Burr, Michael L. Marshall, Michael Kessler

Publication number: 20140144028Abstract: A utility knife is provided that has an elongated main body portion and a head assembly that is separate from the main body portion. The main body portion has a handle assembly. A main body fastening mechanism is provided at one distal end of the handle assembly, and a handle assembly fastening mechanism is provided at one end of the handle assembly. A threaded pin pivotally fastens the main body portion to the head assembly by connecting the main body fastening mechanism to the handle assembly fastening mechanism. Accordingly, the head assembly can pivot with respect to the main body portion and handle assembly, so that the utility knife can be configured to cut an object at different angles, which can be particularly useful for the knife to fit in a tight cutting space.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2014Publication date: May 29, 2014Inventors: James GILBERT, Michael L. Marshall

Patent number: 8496878Abstract: An immunodiagnostic test card includes a flat planar member and at least one dilution chamber that is supported by the flat planar member. The at least one dilution chamber can be disposed adjacent chambers used for testing a patient sample that are provided on the immunodiagnostic test card or can be provided separately.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2012Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc.Inventors: Raymond Francis Jakubowicz, William G. Atterbury, Douglas E. Boyd, Michael L. Marshall

Patent number: 8307549Abstract: A layer of transparent conductive material is disposed on a surface of a substrate. Further layers of conductive material are deposited on the layer of transparent conductive material or on an opposite surface of the substrate. The layers are selectively etched to yield a layout of pads for mounting electrical components and conductive traces forming an electrical circuit.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2004Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: TouchSensor Technologies, LLCInventors: David W. Caldwell, Michael Jon Taylor, Michael L. Marshall

Patent number: 8226536Abstract: High-throughput centrifugation of batches of samples is achieved by dividing a single centrifugation run of a batch of samples into two or more staggered, discrete spins with fewer samples and in which the availability of centrifuge slots for loading or unloading of samples and the subsequent delivery of experimental results can be enhanced. The methodology is particularly useful in situations where multiple samples need to be processed rapidly, for example, as part of a STAT blood typing program in urgent care facilities prior to blood transfusion.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2011Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc.Inventors: Michael L. Dee, Donald J. Moran, Jr., Mark Sawczuk, William G. Atterbury, Michael L. Marshall, Douglas E. Boyd
