  • Patent number: 11850586
    Abstract: A sensor package, a sensor system, and a method for fabricating the sensor package are described that include a sensing chip having dispense chemistry disposed over an array of conductive elements. In an implementation, the sensor package may include a sensing chip that may include at least one conductive element, wherein the at least one conductive element may be part of an array of conductive elements defining a M by N matrix, where M is a number of rows of the at least one conductive element and N is a number of columns of the at least one conductive element. The sensing chip may further include dispense chemistry that may be disposed on the at least one conductive element and at least one contact pad. The sensor package may further include a microfluidic cap that may be positioned over at least a portion of the sensing chip, wherein the microfluidic cap and the sensing chip may define a cavity that may be configured to receive a fluid sample.

  • Patent number: 11790116
    Abstract: At least one aspect is directed to determining an estimate of an intersection of user identifiers in a first set of user identifiers and a second set of user identifiers. The first and second sets of user identifiers can be populated with user identifiers that have interacted with the same content item or content item campaign. Estimates of intersections of the first and the second sets can be determined based on a binomial vector approach, a vector of counts approach, or a hybrid approach. The binomial vector approach generates vectors based on k hashes of each user identifier in the first set and summing the vectors to generate a first vector. The intersection can be determined based on a dot product of the first vector and a second vector similarly generated from the second set of user identifiers.

  • Publication number: 20230153454
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the meta-estimation of data structures representing identifiers are disclosed. The system maintain one or more data records comprising one or more identifiers and one or more attributes. Using the data records, the system can generate a first data structure, such as a probabilistic data structure, that represents the plurality of data records. The first data structure can have a plurality of registers. The system can identify a subset of the plurality of registers that are equal to a predetermined value, and generate a second data structure that represents the subset of the plurality of registers. The system can then store the second data structure as a meta-estimation of the first, and can utilize the second data structure in further processing operations.

  • Patent number: 11351548
    Abstract: A sensor system includes an assay chamber configured to receive a fluid sample. Dispense chemistry disposed within the assay chamber. A first electrode structure includes at least one conductive element and a second electrode structure proximate to the first electrode structure is configured to transmit an electrical signal through the fluid sample. The first electrode structure is configured to receive the electrical signal transmitted through the fluid sample and responsively generate a sense signal. The sense signal being indicative of an interaction of the fluid sample with the dispense chemistry. A controller is electrically coupled to the first electrode structure and configured to identify at least one analyte in the fluid sample based on at least the sense signal generated by the first electrode structure. The first electrode structure is embedded within a base substrate and the second electrode structure is embedded within a microfluidic cap that is coupled to the base substrate.

  • Patent number: 9523977
    Abstract: A method for dispensing products from a vending machine includes presenting a start screen of a user interface including menu options associated with a selection of a product. A first interaction associated with the menu options is received and recorded for use in generating an identifier. Additional interactions are received and recorded for use in generating the identifier. Each of the additional interactions corresponds to a selection made a unique sub menu of a plurality of sub menus. The additional interactions are associated with the selection of the product. A last interaction of the additional interactions determines the product to be purchased. An identifier is generated based on the recorded first interaction and the recorded at least one additional interaction. The identifier represents a sequential mapping of the first interaction and the additional interactions. The product and the identifier are provided to a user of the vending machine.
