  • CARTRIDGE FOR DETECTING TARGET ANALYTE
    Publication number: 20240139738
    Abstract: According to the disclosure, a target analyte detection cartridge includes a sample chamber into which sample is inserted, a metering chamber connected to the sample chamber to meter a predetermined amount of sample, a mixing chamber connected to the metering chamber to receive a magnet bead, and a waste chamber connected to the metering chamber. The metering chamber has one side connected to each of the sample chamber and the mixing chamber and another side connected to the waste chamber. A first pneumatic flow path to which pneumatic pressure is provided is connected to a waste flow path that joins the other side of the metering chamber to connect the metering chamber and the waster chamber.

  • Electronic safe/arm system and methods of use thereof
    Patent number: 9297627
    Abstract: An ordnance firing system is disclosed that includes a reusable electronics module and an ordnance module, each enclosed in a separate, sealed housing. The electronics module housing encloses firing electronics for electrically triggering initiation of a detonator in the ordnance module. The electronics module detachably connects to the ordnance modules via a connector which extends away from the electronics module housing. The housing of the ordnance module is constructed to be blast-resistant to prevent detonation of the detonator from rendering the electronics module inoperable.
