20110091286 | SCUBA DIVING TRIM AND POSITION CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE - A trim and position control device and method comprising a generally ring-shaped, continuous and unbroken weight formed with a central elongated opening therethrough. The opening is preferably shaped like an elliptical diamond and enables placement of the weight over a pillar valve and pillar valve rotatable pressure control handle onto the top surface of a diving tank. The bottom surface of the weight is preferably concave to promote proper nesting upon the top surface of the diving tank. The weight is secured in place by the connection of a primary stage regulator to the pillar valve of the diving tank, wherein the primary stage regulator is connected to a buoyancy compensator device and second stage regulator. This prevents the weight from being inadvertently detached. The weight enables a diver to maintain desired trim and position in conjunction with the inflation of the buoyancy compensator device. | 04-21-2011 |

20090147214 | Sports glasses with lens adapter for semi-rimless construction - A sports glasses construction includes an eyeglass frame for semi-rimless lenses having a pair of channels for receiving a first pair of selectively removable lenses or lens adapter frames, and a pair of lens adapter frames having respective upper connection members sized and shaped to fit into the respective pair of channels in the eyeglass frame. The pair of lens adapters each has a lower portion sized and shaped to couple to a second respective pair of lenses leaving the lower edges of the lenses exposed to provide a semi-rimless construction. | 06-11-2009 |
20100201936 | Sports glasses with lens adapter for semi-rimless construction - A sports glasses construction includes an eyeglass frame for semi-rimless lenses having a pair of receivers for receiving a first pair of selectively removable lenses or lens adapter frames. A pair of lens adapter frames has respective upper connection members sized and shaped to couple to the respective pair of receivers in the eyeglass frame. The pair of lens adapters each has a lower portion sized and shaped to couple to a second respective pair of lenses while leaving the lower edges of the lenses exposed to provide a semi-rimless construction, and to permit the frame to adapt to lenses of differing geometry. | 08-12-2010 |

20120244534 | CLOSED-SYSTEM MULTI-STAGE NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION REACTIONS - The invention is directed to systems, methods, and apparatus for carrying out multi-stage amplification reactions, especially under fluidly closed conditions. In one aspect, methods of the invention are carried out in a fluidly closed reaction system that permits the isolation of a portion of a first (or prior) reaction mixture and its use as a sample or specimen in a second (or subsequent) reaction mixture, thereby substantially avoiding interfering effects that first reaction components may have in the second reaction if both reaction mixtures were simply combined together. In this aspect, systems, methods, and apparatus of the invention may be used with any amplification reaction that permits multiple stages of amplification based on the use of nested primers. | 09-27-2012 |
20130084631 | REAGENT RESERVOIR SYSTEM FOR ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS - The invention provides a reagent reservoir system and disposable reaction cassettes using the same. In one aspect, such system comprises a chamber in which dried reagent, particularly lyophilized reagent, is constrained to remain in a defined region of the chamber by a retaining member that obstructs passage of such reagents to other regions of the chamber where they may escape hydration or activation. | 04-04-2013 |
20140087958 | HONEYCOMB TUBE - A honeycomb tube with a planar frame defining a fluidic path between a first planar surface and a second planar surface. A fluidic interface is located at one end of the planar frame. The fluidic interface has a fluidic inlet and fluidic outlet. The fluidic path further includes a well chamber having an well-substrate with a plurality of wells. The well chamber is arranged in the planar frame between the first or second surface and the well-substrate. The well chamber is in fluidic communication between the pre-amplification chamber and the fluidic outlet. | 03-27-2014 |
20140377759 | REAGENT RESERVOIR SYSTEM FOR ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS - The invention provides a reagent reservoir system and disposable reaction cassettes using the same. In one aspect, such system comprises a chamber in which dried reagent, particularly lyophilized reagent, is constrained to remain in a defined region of the chamber by a retaining member that obstructs passage of such reagents to other regions of the chamber where they may escape hydration or activation. | 12-25-2014 |
