Patent number: 11506719Abstract: A monitoring method includes, among other things, within a vehicle, providing a first electrical system with an auxiliary battery, and a second electrical system with a primary battery. The method further includes electrically coupling the first electrical system to the second electrical system, electrically loading the auxiliary battery and the primary battery, and comparing an electrical parameter of the auxiliary battery to a threshold value to assess a state of the auxiliary battery.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2019Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Hanyang B. Chen, Michael J. Irby, Matthew Thomas Loiselle, William David Treharne, Mark E. Shields, Josephine S. Lee

Patent number: 7078189Abstract: Method of producing a recombinant membrane receptor protein by introducing a baculovirus expression vector encoding the membrane receptor protein into a host cell, culturing the resultant host cell for a sufficient time to permit expression of the membrane receptor protein and baculovirus viral particles and separating the cells from the viral particles. The baculovirus viral particles are then recovered.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2003Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignees: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Valorisation-Recherche, Limited PartnershipInventors: Michel Bouvier, Thomas Loisel, Stefano Marullo, Pierre Boulanger, Arthur Donny Strosberg

Patent number: 6178791Abstract: The technique for electronically resetting a magnetically sealed solenoid to an unattracted, unactuated position is described for use with solenoids which have either a residual magnetic or a permanent magnet holding force necessary to retain the armature of the solenoid in its actuated position until such time as the armature is either physically displaced by a mechanical force or an electronic signal is applied to the solenoid. This displacement creates a reverse polarity magnetic field, effectively overcoming the magnetic field acting to hold the armature in its actuated position, permitting a small mechanical force to reset the armature. In order to prevent a lock or similar device from being conditioned for opening and possibly left in that condition for a significant period of time while unattended, jeopardizing the security of the container and its contents, the actuation of the armature in the reset or release phase may occur a relatively short time following its actuation.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 1999Date of Patent: January 30, 2001Assignee: Mas-Hamilton Group, Inc.Inventors: James D. Hill, William Fain Irving, James Thomas Loiselle, Joseph W. Luciano, Kenneth H. Mimlitch, John E. Passafiume
