  • Patent number: 11913062
    Abstract: Present disclosure provides a method including isolating DNA from a source, thereby providing a composition including the isolated DNA. The isolated DNA has at least first and second target regions, where the length of the second target region is greater than the length of the first target region. The method further includes quantifying a total mass of the isolated DNA, quantifying a first quantification cycle (Cq) of the first target region and a second Cq of the second target region, and calculating a Q-ratio for the isolated DNA by dividing the second Cq by the first Cq. The method further includes determining a value for a quality-mass constant (kQm), estimating a required input mass by dividing kQm by the Q-ratio, and preparing the isolated DNA for sequencing if the total mass of the isolated DNA in the composition is equal or greater than the required input mass.

  • Publication number: 20230328486
    Abstract: Centralized channel management of a set group-based communication system is described. A channel management interface, of the group-based communication system, can be presented via a client of a user associated with a first organization, wherein the channel management interface includes communication channels associated with the first organization, wherein at least a first communication channel is associated with the first organization and a second organization, and wherein at least a second communication channel is associated with the first organization and a third organization. A request can be received via the channel management interface to initiate a channel management action associated with at least one of the first communication channel or the second communication channel and in response to receiving the request to initiate the channel management action, data associated with at least one of the first communication channel or the second communication channel can be updated.

  • Patent number: 5165429
    Abstract: A hair clamp structure is arranged for clamping a quantity of hair therewithin, wherein the clamp structure includes a plurality of pivotally mounted semi-cylindrical shells. The first shell includes a rib member projecting beyond a first shell second edge to be received within an inter-locking engagement with a second shell flange engaging beyond a second edge of the second shell. First edges of the first and second shells are of an interdigited construction including a hinge pin directed therethrough effecting pivotment of the first shell relative to the second shell. The upper and lower annular edges of each shell includes a semi-annular array of tooth members to enhance engagement of hair between the shells, with a lock pin to be received through openings of the shells' walls to effect locking and securement of the shells relative to a predetermined quantity of hair contained within the shells.
