Publication number: 20210405020Abstract: Two-pore devices and method for sequencing are described. A two-pore device can include first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber, wherein the first chamber is in communication with the second chamber through a first nanopore, and wherein the second chamber is in communication with the third chamber through a second nanopore. The device can also include sensing circuitry for measuring electrical signals associated with a target at a nanopore, and a control circuitry for controlling motion of the target at a nanopore. The device can include and/or switch between sensing and control modes for each of the first nanopore and the second nanopore. Sequencing methods can implement a two-pore device in relation to translocation of a target through one or more nanopores, switching between sensing and control modes as appropriate, and measuring aspects of the target using in sensing modes.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2021Publication date: December 30, 2021Inventors: Reto Stamm, Michael Summers, Eric Thorne, William B. Dunbar

Patent number: 9984527Abstract: Disclosed are systems, devices and methods for providing solar lighting and power to a customer by using pay-as-you-go (PAYG) technology. The PAYG technology allows a customer to make incremental payments for a solar energy system that includes a lighting unit. The payments can be made through a smartphone. A cable is used to connect an audio jack of the smartphone and a PV power jack of the lighting unit. Analog AC signals including data about activation, payment, usage and status are transmitted over the cable between the service provider and lighting unit, through a smartphone. The power jack of the lighting unit is also used to connect to a solar panel of a charging unit and a battery of the lighting unit.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2016Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: Angaza Design, Inc.Inventors: Lesley Silverthorn Marincola, Bryan Silverthorn, Victoria Arch, Lee Silverthorn, Joshua Milburn, William Tsai, Eric Thorne
