  • Automated Cryogenic Storage And Retrieval System
    Publication number: 20240044576
    Abstract: A cryogenic storage system includes a transfer module configured to service one or more cryogenic storage freezers. The transfer module includes a working chamber that maintains a cryogenic environment for the transfer of sample tubes between different sample boxes. One or more freezer ports enable the transfer module to receive a sample box extracted from a respective freezer. An input/output (I/O) port enables external access to samples. A box transport robot operates to transport sample boxes between the freezer ports, the working chamber, and the I/O port. A picker robot operates to transfer sample tubes between sample boxes within the working chamber.

  • Compact disc coating and handling system
    Patent number: 5698030
    Abstract: A compact disc coating apparatus includes a first station for dispensing a quantity of lacquer on the disc surface and for spinning the disc to distribute a coating of lacquer over the disc surface, a second station, and a transfer assembly. The transfer assembly includes a pickup head for loading the disc into the first station and a gripper for transferring the disc from the first station to the second station. The gripper includes a rotatable disc gripping mechanism which clamps the disc during spinning at the first station. As soon as the disc stops spinning, the gripper lifts the disc from the first station.
