Patent number: 8906831Abstract: Methods for non-random loading of single analyte molecules into array structures are provided. The methods allow for distribution of a population of target molecules into a plurality of size confined regions such as wells. Sizing moieties are linked to individual target molecules. The sizing moieties are of sufficient size, relative to the size-confined reaction or observation regions, such that only a selected number of sizing moieties will fit into the size confined regions. The confined regions and the sizing moieties or target molecules comprise a selected charge that allow for controlling the loading of the sizing moities.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2009Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc.Inventors: John Eid, Stephen Turner, Ravi Dalal, Benjamin Flusberg, Jonas Korlach, Steven Lin, Adrian Fehr, Fred Christians, Robin Emig, Jeremy Gray, Robert Sebra, Lei Sun, Stephen Dudek

Patent number: 8906670Abstract: The application relates to improved optical containment structures, methods of manufacture and use, and systems for employing same. The optical containment structures generally comprise zero-mode waveguide structures having non-reflective walls. The non-reflective walls allow the preparation of optical containment regions in which the optical containment dimensions can be decoupled from the solution containment dimensions. The application also relates to methods for producing islands of functionality within nanoscale apertures.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2010Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Pacific Bioscience of California, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Gray, Ronald L.

Patent number: 8367159Abstract: The application relates to methods for producing islands of functionality within nanoscale apertures. Islands of functionality can be produced by growing an aperture constriction layer from the walls, functionalizing the exposed base of the aperture, then removing the aperture constriction layer. The aperture constriction layer can be produced, for example, by anodically growing an oxide layer onto a cladding through which the aperture extends. The islands of functionality can be used to bind a single molecule of interest, such as an enzyme within the nanoscale aperture.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2010Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Gray, Ronald L.

Patent number: 7814152Abstract: Context-specific instant messaging is presented. A user views a page of data that is segmented into regions. The user performs a user action (e.g., a mouse click) and, in turn, a message generator displays context-specific phrases for the user to select based upon the region that the user action was performed and a corresponding object type. When a region corresponds to a meeting time, a context-specific phrase may also be time-sensitive. When a region corresponds to meeting participants, a context-specific phrase may include recipient identifiers. The user selects one of the context-specific phrases, and the message generator invokes a message session between the user and a recipient based upon the selected context-specific phrase. The message generator includes a link to the corresponding object such that the message recipient may easily identify the context of the message.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2008Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Patrick Gabriel McGowan, Christopher Joseph Paul, Jeremy Gray Perry

Patent number: 7735006Abstract: A system for setting data list parameters for displaying a data list in pages. An application program receives a first and second user input, wherein the first user input defines a number of items displayed within a page, and wherein the second user input defines a page size tolerance. In response to receiving the first and second user input, the application program sets the number of items displayed within the page and the page size tolerance. Then the application program displays the data list in a graphical user interface according to the set number of items displayed within the page and the set page size tolerance.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2005Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Geoffrey David Alexander, David Kirk Grotjohn, Jeremy Gray Perry, Lucinio Santos-Gomez
