PARTICLE MANIPULATION SYSTEM WITH CYTOMETRIC CAPABILITY AND FEEDBACK LOOP AND VARIABLE GAIN DETECTOR
Publication number: 20240067920Abstract: A MEMS-based particle manipulation system which uses a particle manipulation stage and a plurality of laser interrogation regions. The laser interrogation regions may be used to assess the effectiveness or accuracy of the particle manipulation stage. In one exemplary embodiment, the particle manipulation stage is a microfabricated, flap-type fluid valve, which sorts a target particle from non-target particles in a fluid stream. The laser interrogation stages are disposed in the microfabricated fluid channels at the input and output of the flap-type sorting valve. The laser interrogation regions may be used to assess the effectiveness or accuracy of the sorting, and to control or adjust sort parameters during the sorting process. One or more feedback loops may be used to improve the particle manipulation process, based on data acquired during the first interrogation and/or during a downstream confirmation. Artificial intelligence techniques may be used to good effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Owl biomedical, Inc.Inventors: Paul Hing, Nathaniel BAIR, Daryl GRUMMITT, John Harley, Mark NAIVAR, Matthew DICKERSON -
Patent number: 11102556Abstract: A system for automatically managing the delivery of media assets allocates the media assets to delivery slots of a media delivery servers so that consumers will receive the media assets when they consume digital media programming at times that correspond to the delivery slots. An example is the automated allocation of sponsored videos to television programs airing on a particular afternoon. The system includes data stores and a campaign manager system. The campaign manager system will automatically allocate digital media assets to delivery slots in a campaign to generate scheduling files that media servers will use to present the allocated media assets to consumers during the assigned delivery slots via media consumption devices.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2020Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Optimized Markets, Inc.Inventors: Tuomas Wilhelm Sandholm, Fei Peng, John Paul Dickerson

Patent number: 10097904Abstract: A system for automatically managing the delivery of digital media assets allocates the digital media assets to programs so that consumers will receive the digital media assets when they consume the programs. An example is the automated allocation of sponsored videos to television programs. The system includes data stores, a digital media server, and a campaign manager system. The campaign manager system receives consumption data corresponding to digital assets and programs that the consumers have consumed, along with an allocation value or impression delivery value. It then uses that information to automatically allocate digital media assets to digital programs in a campaign.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Optimized Markets, Inc.Inventors: Tuomas Wilhelm Sandholm, Fei Peng, John Paul Dickerson

Publication number: 20180159098Abstract: A lithium-ion battery pack includes a housing, a plurality of lithium-ion cells, a first bus bar, a second bus bar, and an interconnect plate. The control circuit includes a printed circuit board that has a longitudinal axis. Each of the cells has a longitudinal axis that is positioned parallel to a longitudinal axis of the printed circuit board. The plurality of cells are all arranged in at least a first cell stack and a second cell stack. The first bus bar electrically couples the printed circuit board to cell terminals of the first cell stack that are adjacent to the first sidewall. The second bus bar electrically couples the printed circuit board to cell terminals of the second cell stack that are adjacent to the first sidewall. The interconnect plate electrically couples the cell terminals of the plurality of lithium-ion cells positioned adjacent to the second sidewall.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2016Publication date: June 7, 2018Inventors: Salim Ling, Richard Steegmueller, Paul Dickerson, Dan Bean, Yong Chen, Kevin Lacey, Cristian Barrero

Patent number: 8562690Abstract: A femoral prosthesis for use during a revision procedure includes a proximal body, a distal stem, a modular neck, and a head. In operation, a surgeon may stabilize the proximal body and the distal stem of the prosthesis in a patient's femoral canal that has moderate loss of metaphyseal cancellous bone (known as a Paprosky Type I femoral defect), extensive loss of metaphyseal cancellous bone (known as a Paprosky Type II femoral defect), or extensive metaphyseal deterioration and some diaphyseal deterioration (known as a Paprosky Type IIIA femoral defect). Without disturbing this arrangement, the surgeon may then position the head in a desired location by selecting a desired modular neck to obtain proper joint kinematics.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2011Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Zimmer, Inc.Inventor: Jeffrey Paul Dickerson
