Patent number: 11620120Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for configuration of a secondary processor by a host processor. The host processor can access compiled firmware for the secondary processor, which has a parameter stored at a pre-determined address. The host processor can modify the parameter at the pre-determined address in the firmware to generate a modified firmware for the secondary processor. The host processor can further load the modified firmware into a memory of the secondary processor. The secondary processor can execute the modified firmware having the modified parameter. The host processor can further remodify the parameter in the memory of the secondary processor during runtime without having to recompile the firmware.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2021Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Paul Saunders, Brian Robert Silver, Thomas Sarvey

Patent number: 9039995Abstract: A testing cartridge for metering of a sample to be tested. The testing cartridge includes a casing defining a casing opening and a sliding member defining a sliding member opening. The casing opening or the sliding member opening can define a specified volume, wherein the casing opening and the sliding member opening collectively define a sample application region dimensioned to accommodate receiving an amount of sample exceeding the specified volume. The sliding member is movable transversely to the casing opening by having the sliding member and the casing traverse across each other's respective openings to remove excess sample from the received amount of sample and retain the specified volume from the received amount of sample.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2012Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: Cardiogenics Inc.Inventors: Stephen Daniel Thorogood, Paul Saunders

Patent number: 8656518Abstract: A cut resistant chemical handling glove that is flexible and lightweight comprises a cured, liquid-impervious polymeric latex shell. A tacky acrylic adhesive with low shear strength can be used. A cut resistant liner is slipped on the tacky adhesive coating and is infiltrated with a polymeric latex coating and cured to integrally attach the cut resistant liner with the cured polymeric coating. When the latex glove is worn on a hand and a cutting edge, such as a knife edge, contacts the glove, a crease is formed due to slip at the tacky adhesive-cut resistant liner interface creating a geometry that reduces cut stress intensity at the knife-edge thereby increasing the cut resistance of the glove. Processes for making and using these gloves are also described.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2008Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Ansell Healthcare Products LLCInventors: Paul Saunders, Michael Flather, Dave Narasimhan

Patent number: 7971275Abstract: A damage tolerant cut resistant chemical handling glove that is flexible and lightweight comprises a cured, liquid-impervious polymeric latex shell, a knitted cut resistant liner comprising a cotton yarn and at least one cut resistant yarn, the liner being infiltrated with a soft nitrile or polyurethane layer such that the liner bonds to the shell. The soft nitrile or polyurethane layer seals interstices of the cut resistant liner and replicates its rough texture on the external surface of the glove, providing enhanced grip properties. A thin nitrile latex layer applied to and cured together with the polyurethane layer to protect the polyurethane layer from oil or chemical degradation. The intimate seal thus created between the shell and the liner prevents accumulation of liquid there between, which prevents formation of a liquid boundary layer and interference with grip properties of the glove.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2009Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Ansell Healthcare Products LLCInventors: Paul Saunders, Michael Flather, Dave Narasimhan, William Bennett
