US Patent:

7940105, May 10, 2011

Filed:

Aug 8, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/189028

Inventors:

Valentin T. Quesada - Miami Lakes FL, US
Bruce M. Weber - Cooper City FL, US

Assignee:

Beckman Coulter, Inc. - Brea CA

International Classification:

H03L 5/00

US Classification:

327307, 330 9

Abstract:

Provided are high-resolution parametric signal restoration systems, and applications thereof. Such systems include a multi-output module and a parametric compensator. The multi-output module provides a reference gain output signal and one or more higher gain output signals based on a single input signal. The parametric compensator independently responds to functional parameters of the one or more higher gain output signals to provide a compensation error signal. The single input signal is modified based on the compensation error signal.

Filed:

Dec 27, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/634425

Inventors:

Leonard Pinchuk - Miami FL
John B. Martin - Miami FL
Bruce A. Weber - Pembroke Pines FL

Assignee:

Corvita Corporation - Miami FL

International Classification:

A61F 206

US Classification:

623 1

Abstract:

A mesh composite graft including an inner component, an outer component formed from strands of durable material, such as polyethylene terephthalate, and an intermediate component made from strands of bicompatible synthetic material having a melting point less than that of the durable material from which the outer component is formed and less than that of the biocompatible synthetic material from which the inner component of the graft is formed. By heating the graft to a temperature grater than the melting point of the material from which the intermediate component is formed but less than the melting point of the outer component material and less than the melting point of the material from which the inner component is formed, the components are bound by the melted intermediate component to provide a totally porous, compliant composite graft reinforced by the outer component.

Appl. No.:

8/014701

Assignee:

Coulter Corporation - Miami FL

International Classification:

G01N 1500

US Classification:

364555

Abstract:

A flow cytometer includes a plurality of detectors for providing voltage pulse signals over a four decade range as particles pass through an illuminated detection station. Each voltage pulse signal is processed and provided to a first sample and hold for storage. Thereafter, the value in the first sample and hold is amplified by one or thirty-two, depending upon its magnitude, and stored in a second sample and hold for subsequent provision to a sixteen bit analog to digital convertor (ADC), one signal at a time. The first sample and hold is then free to store a new value while the old value is awaiting provision to the ADC. The ADC converts the signal received from the second sample and hold to a fifteen bit digital signal and uses the sixteenth bit to manifest whether the signal stored in the second sample and hold was amplified by thirty-two.
