  • Publication number: 20240059504
    Abstract: Automated Part Loader (APL) systems and methods for loading and unloading product parts within a machine, e.g., a vertical mill, are provided. The APL system is compact and has a smaller footprint compared with current automated loading systems. The APL system may include a spring-based rotatable loader arm that may be actuated to rotate, e.g., via low voltage motors, relative to a loading table, e.g., 90 degrees, and extend linearly through a side door of the machine for loading and unloading product parts. The loader arm may include a pair of pneumatic grippers configured for picking up and releasing product parts.

  • Patent number: 10956448
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for creating or updating a table in a fully-indexed hierarchical database for storing both structured and unstructured data, where the database structure rather than separate index files provides indexing. The database includes a hierarchy of nodes where the lowest nodes represent raw data and hard links to the raw data. Data records in a table, write request, update request, etc. can be exploded into attributes and values for those attributes, and then each value is stored in a separate file at the lowest nodes of the hierarchy.

  • Publication number: 20140047851
    Abstract: A system and method for bulk freezing is provided. In one embodiment, the system and method for bulk freezing includes a bulk freezing container adapted to hold at least one and preferably a plurality of bags holding a biopharmaceutical liquid. The bulk freezing container includes at least a first and second shelf having corrugations wherein the second shelf is vertically arranged above the first shelf with the bags disposed between the shelves. The bags and the corrugations of the first and second shelves define a plurality of substantially parallel flow channels through which a cryogenic cold fluid or a warming fluid is passed to freeze and/or thaw the biopharmaceutical fluid. In another embodiment, the bulk freezing system and method includes a bulk freezing container with a plurality of adjacent elongated chambers adapted for holding the biopharmaceutical fluid.
