Patent number: 10550366Abstract: The present invention relates to a cell culture support including a substrate and a thermoresponsive polymeric blend layer, wherein the polymeric blend layer includes at least one thermoresponsive polymer and at least one network forming adhesion promoter. The present invention further relates a method of making a cell culture complex including: providing a substrate; blending at least one thermoresponsive polymer and at least one network forming adhesion promoter to provide a polymeric blend; applying a thin film of said polymeric blend to the substrate to provide a polymeric blend layer on the substrate; curing the polymeric blend layer on the substrate to provide a cell culture support; and depositing cells onto said cell culture support, wherein the cells may optionally further include medium, to provide a cell culture complex.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2017Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRONInventors: Bi-Min Newby, Nikul Patel, John Cavicchia, Ge Zhang

Patent number: 9183208Abstract: Many applications and computing environments, such as data storage systems, provide data backup and restoration features. It may be advantageous to provide file level backups that may be accessible to a user through a directory structure of a file system. Accordingly, fileshots comprising backup data of a file may be stored as metadata of the file. For example, a fileshot may be stored within a stream directory as a hidden stream linked off of the file. Fileshots may be associated within a directory interface (e.g., a command prompt or graphical user interface), which may be presented to a user. In this way, the user may access and/or manage fileshots through the directory interface (e.g., the user may create fileshots, restore files with fileshots, copy fileshots, etc.). Additionally, fileshot metadata may be maintained for fileshots. The fileshot metadata may be used to locate fileshot and/or perform fileshot commands.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2010Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: Anuja Jaiswal, Nikul Patel, Devang K.

Patent number: 7255439Abstract: An eye diversion assembly includes a base that has a top wall, a bottom wall and a perimeter wall. A pair of supports extends upwardly from the top wall. An axle is rotatably coupled to and extends between the supports. The axle extends through a plurality of panels. The axle extends through a central area of each of the panels. At least one of the panels is fixedly coupled to the axle and at least one of the panels is rotatably coupled to the axle. Each of a plurality of magnets is attached to one of the panels. A drive assembly mounted in the base is mechanically coupled to the axle. The drive assembly is configured to selectively rotate the axle. A power supply is electrically coupled to the drive assembly. A person's eyes are diverted toward the panels when the drive assembly is turned on.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2005Date of Patent: August 14, 2007Inventor: Nikul Patel
