20150064705 | DYE SETS FOR SURFACE ENHANCED RESONANT RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY - A kit for use in a multiplex assay, the kit including a dye set consisting essentially of a plurality of dyes and an association of each dye to a reference concentration. The dye set has been selected such that, using surface enhanced resonant Raman spectroscopy, each dye of the set is identifiable at better than 90% sensitivity and 90% specificity in the presence of any other dye of the set throughout a range of concentrations of each of the two dyes from 0.6 to 1.5 of the respective dye's reference concentration. In one embodiment, the dye set consists of 10 of the following dyes: JOE, Rhodamine Green, ATTO520, BODIPY FL, BODIPY TMR-X, FAM, HEX, Cy3, Cy3.5, TAMRA and TYE563. The invention also concerns a multiplex assay including the set of dyes, apparatus for carrying out the multiplex assay and a method of selecting the set of dyes. | 03-05-2015 |

20090003974 | TRANSPORT ASSEMBLY - A transport assembly configured to be attached to downhole apparatus has a support assembly configured to be attached to the downhole apparatus and a ground engaging assembly, which in one embodiment is a roller wheel configured to contact with and move in relation to a surface of a wellbore. The roller wheel may engage with the support assembly so as to provide for their relative rotation. In this embodiment, the transport assembly also includes a retaining member disposed between the roller wheel and the support assembly, and the retaining member is operable to resist separation of the roller wheel from the support assembly. The transport assembly is further configured such that, when the transport assembly is in use moving along a wellbore, the roller wheel bears against the retaining member, which in turn bears against the support assembly. In specific embodiments, the retaining member is a ball-bearing. | 01-01-2009 |
20120222857 | ASSEMBLY - A transport assembly comprising: an attachment member attachable to a downhole tool; normally two rotatable members, connected to the attachment member, the rotatable members being arranged to rotate around their main longitudinal axis; a plurality of engaging members attached to each rotatable member and extending radially outwards therefrom with respect to the main longitudinal axis; the engaging members being helically arranged around the rotatable members. The transport assembly can thus be driven into a well in a ‘corkscrew’ type manner. Embodiments include a jarring mechanism which may be reset downhole and can jar attached tools in either direction. | 09-06-2012 |

20110101879 | ELECTRONIC BALLAST CIRCUIT FOR LAMPS - An electronic ballast circuit includes a power factor correction circuit, a control and amplifier circuit, a ballast controller circuit and a ballast driver circuit. The ballast driver circuit includes a resonant circuit that connects to a lamp and a strike voltage limiter circuit that regulates the behavior of the resonant circuit. An overcurrent sensor circuit may be included to indirectly the control the ballast controller circuit via the control and amplifier circuit. The strike voltage limiter circuit uses varistors to change the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit to limit the voltage to the lamp. | 05-05-2011 |

20130249256 | CHAIR - A chair, such as, e.g., an easy chair or, a recliner, may include a compartment, a tray, or both. The compartment may have an open position and a closed position and may include a panel configured for a specific purpose. For example, the panel may include a cup holder, a storage slot, and an outlet. The outlet may include a power outlet, a USB port, an ethernet port, or the like. The tray may rotate about a shaft and/or an arm of the chair so that does not pose a nuisance to a user of the chair. The tray may include a mechanism to slide the tray between a first position and a second position. | 09-26-2013 |

20150158183 | Powered Drive and Control Mechanism for hand held gripping devices - This is a Powered Drive and Control Mechanism for improving the operation of hand held manually operated gripping/reaching devices. Manually operated Reaching/grabber devices are spring loaded to open so they require the user to have good strength and dexterity to close them and keep them closed around an object being reached. Many users have physical limitations making these tools difficult or impossible for then to operate. With this lightweight battery powered Drive and Control Mechanism incorporated into a gripping/reaching tool an operator only needs to touch a button for opening or closing the tool and it has an inherent ability to hold items in its grip without the operator having to hold it closed. This design allows it to be used by persons that would not have the ability to operate a gripper/reaching tool otherwise. | 06-11-2015 |
