Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090001308Valve to shaft assembly - A valve to shaft assembly includes a butterfly-type valve, a pair of bushings receiving the valve and holding the valve in axial position within a housing, and a shaft engaging the valve and the bushings and rotating the bushings in the housing. The bushings include features to hold the valve in position in the bore prior to assembly of the valve and, furthermore, act as rotating bearing surfaces for the valve. The valve to shaft assembly process may be simplified, especially where multiple valves are assembled to a single common drive shaft, such as in a port face charge motion control valve. Furthermore, the valve to shaft assembly provides an axial degree of freedom between valve, drive shaft, and bore, which allows the valve to float on the axis of the drive shaft, to facilitate self centering of the valve in the valve housing.01-01-2009

20090072955WEARABLE COIN-SIZED SENSORY DEVICES, AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS, PROVIDING IMMEDIATE WIRELESS NOTIFICATION OF ACTIVITIES ON SEPARATE ELECTRONIC DEVICES - Wearable coin-sized sensory devices, and related systems and methods, providing immediate wireless notification of activities occurring on separate electronic devices, such that the invention can be worn in contact or near contact with the user's skin, which does not require the user to replace, reconfigure or retrofit items already possessed by the user and worn on the body, and which does not disturb others in the vicinity of the user. When one of the designated separate electronic devices not actually held in the user's hand or face-to-face with the user, e.g., emits a wireless signal as a result of an occurrence on such separate electronic device, the invention senses such wireless signal and immediately produces a tactile indication, silent or near-silent, to the user. The invention is merely coin-sized and thus can be versatility attached or affixed to items in contact or near contact with the user's body in multiple ways.03-19-2009

20110131932BULK TRANSPORT SYSTEM FOR DENSE PRODUCTS - A method for filling a container with a plurality of particles or a liquid includes a bulk packaging support structure for supporting the flexible container during filling. The support structure includes first and second foldable members each having a bottom portion and a first wall section that is pivotally connected to the bottom portion along a primary fold line. A second wall section is pivotally connected to the first wall section along a secondary fold line that extends perpendicular to the primary fold line. The first and second foldable members are releasibly engaged with one another such that the bottom portion of the first foldable member is disposed between the second wall section and the bottom portion of the second foldable member. The radially flexible container disposed within the support structure is filled through a large diameter to a fill level. The large diameter of the radially flexible container is then reduced to a smaller fill diameter in vertical relationship to the fill level as the fill level rises during filling of the flexible container.06-09-2011

20090047673Miniaturized lateral flow device for rapid and sensitive detection of proteins or nucleic acids - The invention provides miniaturized lateral flow chromatographic and lateral flow chromatographic microarray devices (LFM). The miniaturization of lateral flow nucleic acid detection achieved by the present invention offers reduced reagent use, femtomole sensitivity, excellent linear dynamic range, and rapid detection. Moreover, the small feature sizes of capture oligonucleotides renders the potential information capacity of the platform comparable to more traditional spotted fluorescence microarrays as well as improving sensitivity. The LFM devices exemplified herein enable analytes to be detected within 10 seconds from the time of sample introduction to the LFM device. Sample volumes may be as low as about 10 microliters, significantly reducing assay costs and ameliorating reagent storage logistics. Additionally, the miniaturization of lateral flow opens the door to highly multiplexed assays, allowing many proteins or nucleic acids to be detected in a single assay.02-19-2009
