Patent number: 7816080Abstract: The present invention provides novel methods for characterizing organisms by identifying the presence, absence, size or sequence polymorphism of intronic regions. The method involves selecting intronic regions from nuclear or organellar gene sequences that are useful for differentiating between and among taxonomic groupings of organisms. Such intronic regions can be analyzed directly or after amplification in a primer extension reaction. The amplification product is then analyzed by, for example, size fractionation, nucleotide sequencing or (RFLP). Intronic regions that contain an open reading frame encoding all or a portion of a protein can be used to generate antibodies to detect the presence or absence of the protein, which indicates the presence or absence of the intronic region. Methods of detecting an organism in a sample by detecting the presence or absence of one or more intronic regions also are provided using nucleic acid based or immunological based approaches.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2006Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Clarity Biosciences, Inc.Inventors: Rhonda J.

Publication number: 20070075672Abstract: An electrical machine is controlled with a combination of a physical rotor position transducer and a software position detection algorithm. The physical transducer has a reduced number of sensors, so that it will only give accurate information at high speeds. The software algorithm is executed by a low-cost processor which cannot provide sufficient information at high speeds. The controller blends the information from the two position detectors to produce an economic drive which operates over a large speed range.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2006Publication date: April 5, 2007Applicant: Switched Reluctance Drives LimitedInventor: Michael McClelland

Publication number: 20070044660Abstract: An air filter dry cleaning system and method of dry cleaning an air filter is disclosed. The system includes a portable, mostly enclosed cabinet into which an air filter can be placed on two rollers. A blower hose attached to a blower motor blows diffused air onto the filter to dislodge particulate matter. A vacuum hose connected to a vacuum blower motor provides a diffused vacuum air flow to vacuum particulate matter from the air filter. A vacuum air flow connected to the same vacuum blower motor provides a vacuum air flow in the cabinet below the filter. The air vacuum air flow can be connected to a separate detachable dust collection system. Both the portable cabinet and dust collection system can be mounted on wheeled support structures.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2005Publication date: March 1, 2007Inventor: Michael McClelland

Publication number: 20060125239Abstract: Electric power generation (EPG) arrangements, such as generator sets for example, can be constructed with many different configurations depending on customer needs. Variations in the configuration include the placement of a circuit panel relative to a generator and the length of the generator. Multiple different electrical power transmission cabling arrangements are traditionally required to accommodate multiple circuit panel/generator configurations. This disclosure relates to an electrical power generation arrangement that include a cabling guide that is positionable, as by rotation for example, in one of a plurality of rotary positions relative to the generator. The cabling guide is positioned in a selected rotary position based on the position of the circuit panel relative to the generator or the length of the generator or both. A cabling conduit can be connected between the guide and the circuit panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2006Publication date: June 15, 2006Inventors: Samuel Kirkpatrick, Michael McClelland, Bryan McKibbin, Raymond Pritchard

Publication number: 20060009936Abstract: An electrical machine has a rotor position transducer which provides output signals to a control system. The output signals contain errors due to component shortcomings and manufacturing imperfections. A method is disclosed which is able to determine the errors in the signals by the use of a position detection algorithm so as to provide compensations to the control system of the machine. The compensations may be stored in the control system and used to improve the accuracy of the transducer output signals, thus improving the output of the machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2005Publication date: January 12, 2006Inventors: Peter Moriarty, Michael McClelland, Michael Tankard
