Title: Biography of Inventor Richard Dussault
Introduction: Richard Dussault is a notable inventor based in North Attleboro, MA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of automated diagnostic analysis, holding a total of seven patents.
Latest Patents: One of his latest patents is for a modular film sensor with record memory for a modular automated diagnostic apparatus. This invention features a fluid entry module for sample aspiration, a valve module for selecting fluids, and a pump module for fluidic movement. The design ensures that biological samples do not come into contact with the valve system, which introduces calibrants and air into the fluid path. The fluid entry module includes an aspiration tube that can move to different positions for fluid introduction from various sample containers. Additionally, a wiping seal removes residues from the aspiration tube, which are then disposed of within the analysis apparatus. The sensor modules are designed to stack and interlock, featuring film sensors with use life record memories. Each sensor module includes a fluid-tight sealed passage and a sensor element. A fluid selection valve made of highly polished ceramic material allows selective connection to fluid sources. Furthermore, a self-contained reagent pouch housing contains calibrants, ensuring no bubbles are trapped during the sealing process.
Career Highlights: Richard has worked with Medica Corporation, where he applied his innovative ideas to enhance diagnostic technologies. His work has significantly impacted the efficiency and accuracy of automated diagnostic systems.
