20090258411 | CENTRIFUGAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OVA DETECTION - A centrifugal device and method are provided for the separation of buoyant material such as parasitic ova from fecal matter. A rotor assembly, rotatable about its central axis in a centrifuge, includes a housing with a centrally located top opening leading to a centrally located mixing chamber. An annular sediment chamber is provided, also coaxial about the central axis, connected by a passage with the mixing chamber. A coring assembly is used to retrieve and insert a fecal sample into the mixing chamber for mixing with a flotation fluid. During centrifugation, heavier fecal components pass radially outwardly to the sediment chamber while the ova collect on the inward surface of the flotation fluid. After centrifugation, more flotation fluid is added, if needed, until a meniscus forms at the top opening. A coverslip is placed over the top opening and the ova float to the surface of the fluid and adhere to the coverslip. The coverslip is removed and the ova detected using standard microscopy procedures. In another aspect, a centrifugal device is provided in which the ova are delivered through centrifugation to a pipette tip for dispensing onto a microscope slide or coverslip. | 10-15-2009 |
20110177931 | CENTRIFUGAL ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR OVA DETECTION - A centrifugal assembly is provided that can be used in common laboratory fixed angle or swinging bucket centrifuges for the separation of material, such as parasitic ova, based on particle density. The centrifugal assembly allows the fluid level to be gently adjusted to form a meniscus without disruption of the buoyant matter, such as ova. The centrifugal assembly also enables a user to easily and hygienically collect and transfer a measured amount of a sample, such as fecal material, and to break apart and mix the sample with a floatation fluid contained in a centrifuge tube. | 07-21-2011 |
20130048089 | Analytical System For Performing Laboratory Protocols and Associated Methods - Systems, devices, and methods for automating laboratory protocols utilizing cooperative efforts between differing components including fluidics, agitation and thermal control for processing a wide variety of disparate laboratory protocols are provided. In one aspect, a sample processing module is provided, including a housing configured to accommodate a pre-identified sample process, a temperature input capable of interfacing with a temperature controller, a fluid input capable of interfacing with an input fluid controller, a fluid output capable of interfacing with an output fluid controller, and a standardized agitation connector capable of interfacing with an agitator. A control system interfaces with the temperature input, fluid input, fluid output, and agitation connector to enable the system to perform laboratory protocols that require complex, sequential fluidic steps in association with the temperature and agitation control. | 02-28-2013 |

20150044664 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE IN A MOVING FLUID IN A LABORATORY SAMPLE PROCESSING SYSTEM - A temperature control device and method are provided for an analytical system for performing laboratory protocols. The device includes a well within a housing configured to receive a biological specimen according to a predetermined sample process. The specimen is suspended by a holding device in the well. A thermal element is provided in heat exchange communication with fluid in the well. A temperature sensor is located in the well at a location to be covered and uncovered by rocking motion of fluid in the well. A controller, in communication with the thermal element, the temperature sensor, and an agitation system, is operative to control the thermal element in correlation with temperature data, for example, peak temperature data, from the temperature sensor. | 02-12-2015 |

20090270981 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PNEUMATICALLY DRIVING AN IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE - A driver is disclosed for powering a pneumatically operated implantable device, such as an artificial heart with a left and a right ventricle. The driver includes a pair of compressors that each has a first and a second compression chamber. In a first mode of operation, both the first and the second compressor power the left and right ventricle of the artificial heart. In the event of a malfunction in the second compressor, the left and right ventricles of the artificial heart may be powered by the first compressor. Similarly, if a malfunction occurs in the first compressor, the artificial heart may be fully powered by the second compressor. | 10-29-2009 |

20080276759 | SIDING HAMMER AND ATTACHMENTS FOR CONVERTING A HAMMER TO A SIDING HAMMER - A siding hammer having a depth control face spaced in front of a striking face of a hammer head of the hammer. The depth control face strikes a substrate into which a fastener is being driven when the fastener has been driven to a predetermined depth of penetration in the substrate to inhibit the fastener from being driven further into the substrate. In certain embodiments, the depth control face is removable to permit the hammer to be used without depth of penetration control. In certain embodiments, the depth control face is adjustable to adjustably control fastener depth penetration. Attachments are also provided for temporarily converting a hammer into a siding hammer. | 11-13-2008 |
