  • Cell analysis apparatus and method
    Patent number: 10359418
    Abstract: Devices and methods that measure one or more properties of a living cell culture that is contained in liquid media within a vessel, and typically analyzes plural cell cultures contained in plural vessels such as the wells of a multiwell microplate substantially in parallel. The devices incorporate a sensor that remains in equilibrium with, e.g., remains submerged within, the liquid cell media during the performance of a measurement and during addition of one or more cell affecting fluids such as solutions of potential drug compounds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 19, 2015
    Date of Patent: July 23, 2019
    Assignee: SEAHORSE BIOSCIENCE
    Inventors: Jay S. Teich, Andy C. Neilson, Stephen C. Young, Jim Orrell

  • Decorative shutter with hidden louver control
    Patent number: 7124537
    Abstract: A shutter includes a frame with frame members that are spaced apart from one another, and a series of louvers are respectively rotatably mounted to the frame members. At least one of the frame members includes a casing defining a cavity. A controller, which preferably includes a rack and pinion system, is at least partially positioned in the cavity for synchronously pivoting the louvers. A housing of the controller is preferably an extrusion that reinforces the casing.
