Patent number: 11942728Abstract: A connector includes first and second sets of conductive terminals aligned in rows. Insulative housings surround intermediate sections of the terminals. A first insulative insert partially surrounds tail sections of the first set of terminals, and a second insulative insert partially surrounds tail sections of the second set of terminals such that separated passageways which are aligned in rows are formed. A conductive shield partially surrounds the housings and the inserts.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Molex, LLCInventors: Zachary Dedmon, Timothy Kelly, Jason Reed

Patent number: 11042834Abstract: A method to provide an order for a user to select goods includes automatically prompting a user via a voice command to collect an item from an order placed by a customer, and in response to receiving the input from an electronic device indicating that the item is unavailable, automatically prompting the user via a voice command to collect a substitute item designated, receiving an input indicating that the substitute item has been collected, followed by electronically notifying the customer that the substitute item has been collected instead of the original item. In another aspect, a voice-enabled click and collect system includes a remote server in communication with a mobile device, configured to prompt a user to collect an item, communicate the item unavailability to the remote server, receive instructions from the remote server, prompt the user to collect the substitute item, and notify the customer.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2018Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Vocollect, Inc.Inventors: Lori Pike, James Hendrickson, Vanessa Cassandra Sanchez, Timothy Reed, Justin Volz, Brian Quinn, Stefan Wert, Joshua Zito, Allan Strane, Heather Potts

Patent number: 10473519Abstract: A filter mask for use in a flow cytometer includes light blocking features and light passing apertures. The flow cytometer operates to evaluate one or more characteristics of a sample by illuminating the sample and a carrier fluid and collecting light rays that are radiated from the sample and the carrier fluid. The light rays are passed through the filter mask. The light blocking features of the filter mask are arranged to selectively block radiated light at certain radiation angles, while permit light rays having other radiation angles to pass therethrough. A sensor analyzer receives the light rays that pass through to evaluate at least one characteristic of the sample. The light rays can also be separated into two beams, which can be independently filtered using different filter masks. The results can then be compared to provide even more information regarding characteristics of the sample.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2018Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Beckman Coulter, Inc.Inventors: Michael M. Morrell, Timothy Reed

Patent number: 10101260Abstract: A flow cytometer includes a flow nozzle, a light source, an optics system, and a sensor analyzer. The flow nozzle provides a fluid along a flow path. The light source generates a light beam that illuminates the fluid. The optics system collects light rays that are radiated from the light beam by the fluid and passes or blocks the light rays based at least in part on the radiation angles associated with the light rays.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2014Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Beckman Coulter, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Reed, Michael M.

Publication number: 20180106553Abstract: The present application discloses a thermal ground plane that is charged by laser welding a cover on an aperture. Prior to sealing, the thermal ground plane is filled with a quantity of a working fluid, and the device is heated until the working fluid is boiling in the cavity. Accordingly, the cavity is filled with the working fluid and with a saturated vapor of the working fluid. When the saturated vapor has displaced other gases, the cavity is laser welded shut.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2017Publication date: April 19, 2018Applicant: PiMEMS, Inc.Inventors: Payam BOZORGI, Shannon C.

Publication number: 20160267412Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable medium for electronic project and data management is described. The system is comprised of a central database, a server controller for the database, an interface with electronic access to the database for vendor and client personnel, and a foreman device. The device can create, view, and edit work-related documents, such as inspection checklists, and upload those documents to the database either contemporaneously or via manual synchronization. The device may also contain maps, a daily log, specifications, work codes, and project alerts. The interface provides access to project documents, member connections, and project alerts. Documents requiring approval automatically move through the chain of command as approved or rejected for revision. All members are automatically linked to project documents, and no paper is required for system operation. The method of carrying out the steps above is programmatically operated via a computer readable medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2015Publication date: September 15, 2016Inventors: Timothy Reed, Amanda Gail Bolyard
