Publication number: 20200291467Abstract: System and methods for identifying nucleotides based on data acquired from a sensor during sequencing of nucleic acids. The method may include obtaining characteristics of light detected from luminescent labels associated with the nucleotides during nucleotide incorporation events. The characteristics may include, for each nucleotide incorporation event, a temporal characteristic the light and an intensity characteristic of the light. The temporal characteristic representing a speed of decay of a probability of photon emission by a luminescent label after excitation. The method may further include grouping points representing the characteristics of the nucleotide incorporation events into groups of points. The individual points may represent at least the temporal characteristic and the intensity characteristic for a corresponding nucleotide incorporation event. The method may further include assigning the groups of points to individual nucleotides.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2020Publication date: September 17, 2020Applicant: Quantum-Si IncorporatedInventors: Jonathan M. Rothberg, Craig Wenger, Mel Davey, Keith G. Flfe, Jimmy Jia, Brian Reed, Brett J. Gyarfas

Patent number: 9021988Abstract: The present invention relates to an aquarium cleaning apparatus, systems and methods for removing debris from the aquarium, and in particular, a self-contained cleaning apparatus that utilizes a siphon effect created by pouring water in an aquarium tank and/or pulling water out of an aquarium tank, such as via a vacuum. In a preferred embodiment, the siphon operation occurs because of the difference between the water level of the aquarium tank and the vertical height of a spout attached to the top of a vertical tube. Therefore, it is not necessary for the user to immerse their hands in the aquarium water to operate the cleaning device.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2012Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Crave Products, Inc.Inventors: David Turover, Craig Wenger
