  • Publication number: 20240027352
    Abstract: Assays (100) may be performed with a luminometer (400) having a chassis (405) that may include a reaction vessel chamber (610). The luminometer (400) may also include a light passage (640) that intersects the reaction vessel chamber (610). The luminometer (400) may also include a cap (415) that, when in a closed configuration, prevents light emitted by external sources from entering the reaction vessel chamber (610) and from entering the light passage (640). The cap (415) may provide access to the reaction vessel chamber (610) when in an open configuration. The luminometer (400) may also include a calibration light source (460) optically coupled to one end of the light passage (640) and a light detector (630) optically coupled to another end of the light passage (640). The light detector (630) may include a sensing element for receiving light from the light passage (640).

  • Patent number: 10397284
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for recovering a communication session between a client device and a participant device is performed by a server running a central service. The server detects that the client device has lost connection to the participant device and proceeds to maintain the connection to the participant device. In certain embodiments, the server determines why the client device lost connection and selects a second device in close proximity to the client device using information from a user profile associated with the client device. The server then proceeds to establish a connection between the client device and the participant device.

  • Patent number: 8620933
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer readable media, for generating Venn-like diagram illustrating cross channel conversion paths. In one aspect, a plurality of conversion paths are received. Each conversion path includes one or more user interactions that include a plurality of dimensional data. A sorted list of channel groups that includes one or more group rules is received and each user interaction is grouped into a channel based upon the channel groups. A selection of channels to visualize is received and an image including one circle for each selected channel is generated. The circles are optimally placed to maximize the accuracy of the overlapped regions with channel group data.
