Publication number: 20240150854Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems to detect a class of non-variola Orthopoxviruses, and, more particularly, monkeypox virus. In certain embodiments, the method may comprise obtaining a sample from the subject; and detecting a nucleic acid sequence specific to the non-variola Orthopoxvirus. In some embodiments, the method may further isolation of the non-variola Orthopoxvirus from a solid substrate such as a tissue swab and further purification of viral nucleic acid using silica beads. The sample may in some cases be self-collected by a subject. The disclosed methods and systems, including kits for self-collection, may be used for a high throughput assay allowing for screening of hundreds of samples per day.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Thomas Jacob Urban, Ayla Burns Harris, Jonathan David Williams, Deborah John Boles, Timothy Staton, Nathan Harris, Phyllis Davis, Suzanne Dale

Patent number: 11978880Abstract: A method for forming a layered anode material includes contacting a precursor material and a first electrolyte. The precursor material is a layered ionic compound represented by MX2, where M is one of calcium and magnesium and X is one of silicon, germanium, and boron. The method further includes applying a first bias and/or current as the precursor material contacts the first electrolyte to remove cations from the precursor material to create a two-dimensional structure that defines the layered anode material. In certain variations, the method further includes contacting the two-dimensional structure and a second electrolyte and applying a second bias and/or current as the two-dimensional structure contacts the second electrolyte so as to cause lithium ions to move into interlayer spaces or voids created in the two-dimensional structure by the removal of the cations thereby forming the layered anode material.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Jeffrey David Cain, Thomas E. Moylan, Leng Mao, Paul Taichiang Yu, Nicholas Paul William Pieczonka, Andrew Clay Bobel

Publication number: 20120305534Abstract: An industrial machine assembly includes an industrial machine and a handle. The industrial machine includes an upper wall and a side wall. The side wall and upper wall cooperate to define a corner. The handle includes a grasping portion, a first flange, and a second flange. The handle is configured for attachment to the industrial machine in one of a first position and a second position. When the handle is in the first position, the first and second flanges straddle the corner such that the first flange is adjacent to the upper wall and the second flange is adjacent to the side wall. When the handle is in the second position, the first and second flanges straddle the corner such that the first flange is adjacent to the side wall and the second flange is adjacent to the upper wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2012Publication date: December 6, 2012Inventors: Thomas David Williams, Bruce John Chantry

Patent number: 8054154Abstract: A planar transformer includes first and second windings that may be comprised of electrically conductive traces etched onto one or more printed circuit boards. The printed circuit boards may be arranged in various orientations so as to change the turns ratio of the planar transformer. In one embodiment, the printed circuit boards are substantially similar and may be electrically connected via connectors that separate the circuit boards. Insulating sleeves may be inserted between the printed circuit boards in an interleaved configuration.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2008Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: Linclon Global, Inc.Inventors: George Bradley Koprivnak, Thomas David Williams

Publication number: 20020078768Abstract: The present invention discloses an apparatus and method for extracting a sample from a strip of material. The apparatus comprises a roller having a periphery surface, a cutting wheel having a cutting die extending from its periphery, and wherein the material strip advances between the roller and the cutting wheel. During advancement of the material strip, the cutting wheel rotates in coordinated relation and into a position wherein the cutting die engages the material strip and rotates through engagement with the periphery surface of the roller, thereby extracting a sample from the material strip.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2001Publication date: June 27, 2002Inventors: Roger Dale Hiatt, Darryl Warren Jones, Thomas David Williams
