Patent number: 9403646Abstract: A flexible pattern-forming palletizing apparatus includes a conveyor having an upstream end for receiving products along a single lane and a downstream end having a plurality of moveable lanes under computer control arrayed along a width of the downstream end. A diverter is positioned between the upstream and downstream end for moving the products from the single lane into selected ones of the plurality of lanes as the products move from the upstream end to the downstream end of the conveyor. A product turner is positioned downstream of the diverter for receiving products positioned in the plurality of lanes and turning selected ones, where the product turner includes turning devices that move between lanes under control of the computer and can be accurately positioned to optimize case turning for a wide array of product.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2015Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: COLUMBIA MACHINE, INC.Inventors: William Huebner, Kevin Meckel, Patrick O'Connor, Timothy Hansen

Patent number: 8058078Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention provide, for example, a system and method for automatically adjusting the inoculum level of a sample. Certain embodiments of the present invention may measure a concentration of particles present in a preliminary sample using a sensor device and determine an amount of diluent to be added to or removed from a sample container to prepare a sample having a selected concentration of particles, corresponding to a selected inoculum level. Embodiments of the present invention may also automatically add or remove the diluent using an automated fluidics system so as to prepare a sample having the selected particle concentration. Once the selected particle concentration is achieved and verified, some embodiments may also remove at least a portion of the sample from the sample container such that the container contains a selected volume of the sample.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2011Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Timothy Hansen, Mark Anthony Messina, John Thuin Page, Thomas Paul Borgoyn, Ammon David Lentz, Robert Michael Novak

Patent number: 6597450Abstract: An apparatus and method employing a plurality of light emitting devices which each can get light through a respective optical fiber toward a respective sample of a plurality of samples in a time-staggered manner. Light is generated in each of the samples at different times consistent with the times at which light is irradiated onto the sample. A single detector is used to detect the lights emitted from the plurality of samples at these different times. A plurality of bifurcated optical cable are coupled to the light emitting devices and single light detector, and the integrated end of each bifurcated cable acts as the light emitting port and light detecting port. Multiple targets can be detected from each of the plurality of samples in the same manner by providing an apparatus and method employing a different plurality of light emitting devices and single detector for each target to be detected.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2000Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Jeffrey P.
