20120270305 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUSES TO IMAGE A SAMPLE FOR BIOLOGICAL OR CHEMICAL ANALYSIS - A fluidic device holder configured to orient a fluidic device. The device holder includes a support structure configured to receive a fluidic device. The support structure includes a base surface that faces in a direction along the Z-axis and is configured to have the fluidic device positioned thereon. The device holder also includes a plurality of reference surfaces facing in respective directions along an XY-plane. The device holder also includes an alignment assembly having an actuator and a movable locator arm that is operatively coupled to the actuator. The locator arm has an engagement end. The actuator moves the locator arm between retracted and biased positions to move the engagement end away from and toward the reference surfaces. The locator arm is configured to hold the fluidic device against the reference surfaces when the locator arm is in the biased position. | 10-25-2012 |
20150045234 | FLUIDIC SYSTEM FOR REAGENT DELIVERY TO A FLOW CELL - A fluidic system that includes a reagent manifold comprising a plurality of channels configured for fluid communication between a reagent cartridge and an inlet of a flow cell; a plurality of reagent sippers extending downward from ports in the manifold, each of the reagent sippers configured to be placed into a reagent reservoir in a reagent cartridge so that liquid reagent can be drawn from the reagent reservoir into the sipper; at least one valve configured to mediate fluid communication between the reservoirs and the inlet of the flow cell. The reagent manifold can also include cache reservoirs for reagent re-use. | 02-12-2015 |

20130211300 | HINGED ANKLE BRACE - A hinged ankle brace having a semi-rigid ankle cuff and a semi-rigid foot bed rotatably connected by a medial hinge and a lateral hinge provides enhanced stability and support to a wearer's ankle. The medial hinge of the ankle brace may be higher than the lateral hinge to accurately replicate the bending motion of an ankle. The ankle brace also includes ratchetably interconnected semi-rigid straps. These semi-rigid straps provide a semi-rigid structure encircling the ankle of a wearer for enhanced support. The ratchet mechanism may include a curved window that enables angular adjustment of the ratchting straps. The ankle brace may also include a soft inner liner and a soft outer sleeve. The outer sleeve is configured to provide compression to the semi-rigid shell, which in turn provides additional compression to the ankle. The semi-rigid foot bed may include posterior extensions that cup and support the wearer's heel, and a posterior cut-out portion that receives the wearer's heel. | 08-15-2013 |

20090110772 | WATER SOLUBILIZATION OF CELLULOSICS AND RELATED COMPOUNDS - The present invention is directed toward a method of solubilizing melaninic, ligninic, chitinic, and/or cellulosic material. The method includes providing melaninic, ligninic, chitinic, and/or cellulosic material and providing an oxoacid ester of phosphorus or a mixture of an oxoacid of phosphorus and an alcohol. A blend of the melaninic, ligninic, chitinic, and/or cellulosic material, the oxoacid ester of phosphorus or the mixture of the oxoacid of phosphorus and alcohol is formed. The blend is then treated under conditions effective to solubilize the melaninic, ligninic, chitinic, and/or cellulosic material. | 04-30-2009 |
20090193712 | PRETREATMENT OF COAL - The present invention is directed toward a method of solubilizing coal. The method includes providing coal and providing an oxoacid ester of phosphorus or a mixture of an oxoacid of phosphorus and an alcohol. A blend of the coal, the oxoacid ester of phosphorus or the mixture of the oxoacid of phosphorus and alcohol is formed. The blend is then treated under conditions effective to solubilize the coal. | 08-06-2009 |
20100281623 | DECOLORIZATION OF FABRICS USING PHOSPHORIC AND PHOSPHOROUS ACID DERIVATIVES - The present invention is directed to a method of removing colorants from a material. The method includes providing colored material, providing an oxoacid or oxoacid ester of phosphorous acid, and combining the colored material and the oxoacid or oxoacid ester of phosphorous under conditions effective to remove the colorant from the colored material. | 11-11-2010 |
20120000854 | CONTINUOUS REMOVAL OF DISPERSE DYES FROM SOLUTION VIA CARBON-BASED FIBER MEDIA - The present invention is directed to a method of removing colorants from a material. The method includes providing colored material, providing an oxoacid or oxoacid ester of phosphorous acid solvent, combining the colored material and the solvent, and agitating under conditions effective to remove the colorant from the colored material. The decolorizing solvent system is continuously refreshed by passing the colored solvent through a carbon column for subsequent recycling. | 01-05-2012 |
20120233915 | Solubilization of Coal and Bioconversion of Coal to Methane and Other Useful Products - Coal is contacted, or treated, with at least one aromatic alcohol and/or cycloaliphatic alcohol to solubilize at least a portion of the treated coal. The treated coal is optionally bioconverted to produce one or more hydrocarbons, such as methane. | 09-20-2012 |
