Patent number: 11781689Abstract: A tube fitting for connection to a tube includes a main body structure and a tube liner. The main body structure is configured to receive an end of the tube and fluidly connect the tube to another component. The tube liner is positioned at least partially within the main body structure and is configured to extend into the tube. The main body structure and the tube liner are configured such that, when the tube is fully inserted into the tube fitting, the end of the tube is positioned at a predetermined depth within the tube fitting, and the main body structure and the tube liner cooperate together to provide an audible indication to indicate that the tube has been fully inserted into the tube fitting.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: RELIANCE WORLDWIDE CORPORATIONInventors: Sai Kishore Ravisankar, William Vernon Kluss, Samantha Kelly, Eliana Pippen, Derres Catalano, William Clinton Osteen

Publication number: 20230250907Abstract: A push-to-connect fitting is provided. The push-to-connect fitting includes a connector body, a sealing member, a grab ring, a cartridge, a retainer sleeve, a plurality of latches, and an interference portion. The sealing member is configured to form a sealing engagement with a fluid conduit. The grab ring includes a plurality of teeth configured for coupling to the fluid conduit. The retainer sleeve is received over at least part of the cartridge and is received over at least part of the connector body. The plurality of latches are located on the retainer sleeve and are configured to secure the retainer sleeve to the connector body to facilitate retention of the sealing member, the grab ring, and the cartridge. The interference portion is configured to engage the retainer sleeve to substantially prevent rotation of the retainer sleeve relative to the connector body.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Sai Kishore RAVISANKAR, William Vernon KLUSS, Eliana PIPPEN, Samantha KELLY, Randy GRAVES

Patent number: 11421127Abstract: Random copolymers, crosslinked thin films of the random copolymers and cell culture substrates comprising the crosslinked thin films are provided. Also provided are methods of making and using the copolymers, thin films and substrates. The copolymers are polymerized from glycidyl methacrylate monomers and vinyl azlactone monomers. The crosslinked thin films are substrate independent, in that they need not be covalently bound to a substrate to form a stable film on the substrate surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Inventors: Padma Gopalan, William L. Murphy, Samantha Kelly Schmitt
