  • Publication number: 20250050367
    Abstract: An article of manufacture is disclosed with a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing program code that, when executed by a processor, enables a method to adjust the height and rotation of a spray gun used in a line striper via a control device's GUI. The medium includes program code: (a) receiving a first user input through the GUI to raise or lower a spray gun mount bar via a height adjustment mechanism; (b) adjusting the spray gun mount bar's height based on the input in (a); (c) receiving a second user input through the GUI to rotate an angular adjustment mechanism linked to the spray gun mount bar; and (d) executing rotation of the spray gun mount bar, either clockwise or counterclockwise, based on the input in (c).

  • Patent number: 12128432
    Abstract: Disclosed is a height and rotational adjustment system for a spray gun used in a line striper comprising: (a) a control device to set a dimension of a line to be sprayed and set an angle at which the line is to be sprayed; (b) a spray gun mount bar having a gun holder assembly to retain a spray gun; (c) a height adjustment mechanism coupled to the spray gun mount bar; (d) an angular adjustment mechanism coupled to the spray gun mount bar; and wherein the control device transmits signals (e.g., wirelessly) to: (1) the height adjustment mechanism to raise or lower the spray gun mount bar to spray the line with the dimension in (a), and (2) the angular adjustment mechanism to rotate, in a clockwise or counter-clockwise manner, the spray gun mount bar to spray the line at the angle in (a).

  • Publication number: 20240165672
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for delivering items to a plurality of storage locations. The items are fed into the apparatus at an input station having a scanning station. The scanning station evaluates one or more characteristics of each item. The items are then loaded onto a delivery mechanism that delivers the items to storage locations. Once at the appropriate storage location, the delivery mechanism discharges the item to the storage location and returns to receive another item to be delivered.

  • Patent number: 11814626
    Abstract: Presented are RNA nucleotide sequences referred to as EXO-Codes, and longer RNA polynucleotides that contain the EXO-Codes. EXO-Codes provide RNA with the ability to a) be selectively sorted to extracellular vesicles such as exosomes, and b) deliver a variety of cargo types to program or reprogram the extracellular vesicles, and cells that receive the exosomes. Also presented are methods of making the EXO-Codes, modifying cells using the EXO-Codes, expression vectors encoding the EXO-Codes, and exosomes and other secreted vesicles that include RNA polynucleotides that contain the EXO-Codes.

  • Publication number: 20230241324
    Abstract: An apparatus for collecting, diluting and dispensing a predetermined volume of a patient fluid sample, such as blood, into the collection port of a point-of-care diagnostic test. The apparatus is constructed and arranged to collect a predefined volume of fluid sample by wicking, to mix the whole blood with a dilution reagent, and to dispense a predefined volume (within predefined tolerances) of diluted fluid sample into the collection port of the POC test kit. The apparatus has an elongate body with an internal cavity and a capillary tube in fluid connection with the internal cavity. A mixing valve separates the capillary tube and the internal cavity and selectively opens and closes the fluid connection between the capillary tube and the internal cavity. A plunger reciprocates within the valve body between a retracted limit position and a distal limit position for creating negative and positive pressure within the internal cavity.
