Patent number: 11875396Abstract: A system for displaying a simulated room can comprise a projector, a wall structure element, a physical object, and a room customization station. The room customization station can view images of selectable products and allows a selection thereof to be displayed on the wall structure element or the physical object. The projector can display the selectable product(s) on the wall structure element or the physical object. The physical object can be adjustable in size for different selectable product sizes. The system can include a physical accessory placeable in the simulated room to facilitate visualization of how the physical accessory would appear in the simulated room with the selectable product. Further, the room customization station can prevent a portion of the images from being projected onto a physical feature in the simulated room and allow other portions of the images to be projected into a portion of the simulated room.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Lowe's Companies, Inc.Inventors: Blair Thomas Holt, Kurt James Jansen, Shannon Wadford Boggess, Randall Allen Miller, Paula Gragg Ferguson, Jeffrey Donald Key, Jeffrey Robert Pollard, Zeke Robert Markshausen, Garrett Lee Winther, Kathryn Soven, Carl David Sjunnesson, Kyle Fletcher, Elizabeth Spenko, Joseph Thomas Graceffa, Travis Schultz Lee, Aaron Randall Ferber

Publication number: 20220288581Abstract: An analyzing system comprises a multi-well sample carrier in which each well has a transparent bottom with a nanostructured surface inside the well. The sample carrier can be installed in a reader device so that each well of the sample carrier is aligned with a respective light guiding unit of the reader device. In use, each light guiding unit directs a beam of excitation light to the bottom of the respective well, and directs a beam of reflected light from the bottom of the respective well. The nanostructured surface acts as a plasmonic sensor to facilitate analysis of the contents of the wells. The system allows highly sensitive quantification and characterisation of biological interactions in real time across multiple wells, and with improvements in yields, quality and production times.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2020Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: CAUSEWAY SENSORS LIMITED c/o Qubis LimitedInventors: Antony Murphy, Breandan Hill, Robert Pollard

Patent number: 10816466Abstract: An analysing apparatus comprises a fluid container defining a sample chamber. A sensor having a transparent body with a nanostructured surface is coupled to the fluid container such that the nanostructured surface is exposed to the sample chamber. An excitation and detection apparatus directs a beam of incident polarised electromagnetic radiation onto the reverse face of the body at the Brewster angle, causing no or substantially no reflection of the polarised radiation from the reverse face. The beam of reflected radiation emerges from the reverse face after reflection from the nanostructured surface. The apparatus is simpler and cheaper in comparison with known alternatives that use ATR prisms to create ATR of the light to excite a planar surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2016Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Causeway Sensors LimitedInventors: Robert Pollard, Anthony Murphy, Breandan Hill
