Publication number: 20220101424Abstract: My invention is a computer implemented system for conducting escrow controlled reverse-auction eCommerce transactions for a membership group on the Internet. Firstly, my invention greatly increases the safety of eCommerce transactions by the automated escrow control of the Buyer's money, whereby the Buyer's funds are held by the system and not released until the purchased item is received in ‘As Described’ conditions; Secondly, my invention determines the price of the item for sale by first displaying the item in an eShowcase at a fixed price for a chosen length of time and then lowering the price, in a reverse auction, until an accredited member decides to buy, where upon the automated escrow system takes over. The entire process of enrolling and vetting buyers and sellers (members), information exchange between the system and its members, money management via escrow and the variable item price control is a fully integrated software apparatus that runs on a stand-alone basis.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2019Publication date: March 31, 2022Inventor: Evan Williams

Patent number: 10714326Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus related to laser ablation spectrometry systems. In one aspect, a system comprises a microscope, a laser, a continuous flow probe, and a gas confinement device. The laser is positioned to emit light through an objective lens of the microscope. The continuous flow probe is coupled to a spectrometer. An end of the continuous flow probe is positioned proximate a sample and between the sample and the objective lens. The gas confinement device defines a gas inlet, a chamber, a platform, a wall surrounding the platform, a plurality of vents, and a plurality of channels. Each of the plurality of vents is positioned to direct a gas substantially parallel to the platform, and each of the plurality of vents is defined in the wall. The plurality of channels is operable to provide fluid communication between the chamber and the plurality of vents.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: The Regents of the Unversity of CaliforniaInventors: Hoi-Ying N.
