Patent number: 8881478Abstract: A ratcheting take-up device that compensates for imperfect alignment in a tie rod continuity system in the frame of a building wall. The upper ends of the tie rods are tightly clamped within the take-up device by domed segments inserted in a bowl-shaped housing. The segments are also forced together by a compression member in the housing. The domed shape of the segments and the bowl shape of the housing cooperate so that the segments can rotate in any direction to accommodate tie rods that are not perfectly vertical, without a corresponding loss of strength in the connection.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2012Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Simpson Strong-Tie Company, Inc.Inventors: Daniel M. Gray, Lisa M. McGurty, Bryan David Wert, Thomas Maxwell Strawn

Methods and systems for efficient automatic slide staining in immunohistochemistry sample processing
Patent number: 8765476Abstract: Automated sample processing systems may include onboard efficient high-speed mixing of at least two components with an automatic vertical force fluidic turbulent component mixer of which a mixed component may be aspirated and high-speed dispensed in a mixing vial. Other aspects may include single sweep applying a multi-treatment cleaning cycle to at least one slide. A multi-treatment cleaning cycle may include a washing treatment and a drying treatment. In yet other aspects the present invention may include an automated recovery sample processing system with the capability of detecting at least one immediate condition of a fortuitously terminated automatic sample processing run and perhaps even an automatic terminated sample processing run reconstruction calculator.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2009Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Biocare Medical, LLCInventors: Saradha Avantsa, Ravishankar Melkote, Thomas Maxwell, Geoffrey Cook -
Publication number: 20140081885Abstract: The current invention is for a system and method for providing “concierge” services to beneficiaries of a covered person provided immediately after death; and for providing “concierge” services to claimants of dismemberment, and continuing throughout the duration of the benefits claim process. The method for this service is offered to the employees and dependents insured through corporate sponsored group life and accident insurance programs. The method includes filing, handling and expediting insurance benefit claims and payouts; corporate sponsored retirement programs and stock benefits transfer, or “roll-over”, to an Individual Retirement Account; handling employee death related communications, paperwork and processing; and providing financial counseling.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2013Publication date: March 20, 2014Inventor: Fred Thomas Maxwell, II

Publication number: 20100224187Abstract: A controllable intubating stylet (CIS) for use by anesthesia and other health care providers is used in conjunction with a video laryngoscope and endotracheal tube in order to achieve intubation of the trachea for general anesthesia as well as other medical conditions. The video laryngoscope is used to visualize the tracheal opening. The CIS is inserted into an endotracheal tube and directed into the trachea. The endotracheal tube then is maneuvered over the stylet and into the trachea, and thereafter, the CIS is removed. The patient can then be oxygenated and ventilated by way of the endotracheal tube. The CIS includes a control mechanism similar to current bronchoscopes which allows for flexion of the tip and overall flexibility of the stylet. In contrast to the bronchoscope, however, the CIS includes no fiberoptics or associated components, such as a light source or eyepiece, making the CIS much less expensive to produce.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2010Publication date: September 9, 2010Inventor: Thomas Maxwell Dalton

Patent number: 7472803Abstract: An automated dispensing assembly includes a base, and a shuttle mounted in the base and movable under automated control between a loading position and a dispensing position. The shuttle includes a cavity configured to carry an object, such as cover. The depth of the cavity in the shuttle is approximately the same (or less) as the thickness of one of the objects. A storage module is mounted proximate the shuttle. The storage module is configured to store a plurality of objects and includes an opening exposing the next object to be dispensed. The cavity is positioned adjacent the opening in the storage module in the loading position and an edge of the cavity separates the object to be dispensed from the other objects in the storage module as the shuttle moves to the dispensing position.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2005Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: BioGenex Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Krishan L. Kalra, Thomas Maxwell, Qi Cao, Michael Huang, Shahin Iqbal

Patent number: 7344429Abstract: A noise-producing device comprises a body (12) having a clamp (24) for mounting the body to a frame member of a bicycle or other motorless vehicle with spoked wheels. The device includes a card holder (15) for securing a resiliently flexible card (14) to the body such hat the card extends freely outwardly from the body. A resonant chamber (18) in the body amplifies the sound produced by the intermittent interaction of the free end of the card with the spokes of the bicycle wheel.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2004Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Inventors: Thomas Maxwell, Gavin Maxwell

Patent number: 5892479Abstract: The electromagnetic target generator of this invention is used to simulate radar target for the purpose of testing and experimenting on a variety of weapon systems radars. The weapon system radar being tested emits a radar signal which is received by the target generator. The target generator delays, doppler shifts, and reemits the signal for receipt by the weapon system antenna. The simulated target presented to the radar system under investigation has digitally controlled range, radial velocity, coordinated doppler and radar cross section. This provides a realistic radar target return without requiring real targets. The radar system is exercised in inflight and tactical operational configuration and no part of the weapons system radar is bypassed. Delayed radar target replicas are indistinguishable from real target waveforms. The electromagnetic target generator may be used in locations which preclude the use of real radar targets, such as anechoic chambers, and also may be used in the field.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1997Date of Patent: April 6, 1999Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Klyte G.
