Publication number: 20210231538Abstract: A method of processing a biological sample to obtain single cells and/or groups of cells comprises: fixing cells of the biological sample using a fixative; contacting the biological sample with a dissociation medium; dissociating the biological sample in the presence of the dissociation medium to obtain the single cells and/or groups of cells; wherein the fixative comprises a deep eutectic solvent. Fixing cells of the biological sample using a deep eutectic solvent facilitates dissociation of the biological sample into single cells, while at the same time inhibiting the degradation of biomolecules such as DNA and RNA in the cells. Also provided is an apparatus useful in the method, deep eutectic solvents and uses thereof, and a method of extracting cell nuclei.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2019Publication date: July 29, 2021Inventors: Andrew Simon GOLDSBOROUGH, Malcom Robert BATES

Patent number: 9468845Abstract: Methods and computer programs include associating a three-dimensional collider component and a rigid body component to a two-dimensional game object used in the game play. The three-dimensional collider component and the rigid body component define a plurality of physics attributes to enable control of physical behavior of the game object. A second three-dimensional collider component is associated with a game cursor that is used for providing user input to the gameplay. The game cursor is defined as a two-dimensional object with at least a portion of the game cursor having a spherical contour. User input is detected at a touch screen interface of a computing device that is rendering the gameplay. The user input causes the spherical contour of the game cursor to control movement of the game object within the game scene of the gameplay, the movement being adjusted in accordance to physics attributes of the game object.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2014Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Zynga Inc.Inventors: Sumit Mehra, Shivendra Dayal, Moolchand Kuri, Robert Bates
