  • Patent number: 10784095
    Abstract: A mass spectrometer is described that includes a multipole configured to pass an ion stream, the ion stream comprising an abundance of one or more ion species within stability boundaries defined by (a, q) values. A detector formed by a plurality of dynodes is configured to detect the spatial and temporal properties of the abundance of ions, where each dynode arranged such that it is struck by ions in a known spatial relationship with the ion stream. The detector also includes a plurality of charged particle detectors, each associated with one or more of the plurality of dynodes. A processing system is configured to record and store a pattern of detection of ions in the abundance of ions by the dynodes in the detector.

  • Patent number: 10783712
    Abstract: A near eye display (NED) system is configured to present an augmented reality environment to the user. In addition, the NED system uses an imaging device to detect individuals within a local area, and identify positions of hands of the individuals from which the NED system may be able to detect one or more performed gestures. In response to detecting a predetermined gesture, the NED system displays a user of the NED one or more virtual objects corresponding to the identified first gesture at a location associated with a predetermined portion of the individual's body. The displayed virtual objects may be referred to as “visual flair,” and are used to accentuate, stylize, or provide emphasis to gestures performed by individuals within the local area.

  • Patent number: 10781486
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods, reagents, kits, and compositions for identifying and quantifying target polynucleotide sequences. A linker probe comprising a 3? target specific portion, a loop, and a stem is hybridized to a target polynucleotide and extended to form a reaction product that includes a reverse primer portion and the stem nucleotides. A detector probe, a specific forward primer, and a reverse primer can be employed in an amplification reaction wherein the detector probe can detect the amplified target polynucleotide based on the stem nucleotides introduced by the linker probe. In some embodiments a plurality of short miRNAs are queried with a plurality of linker probes, wherein the linker probes all comprise a universal reverse primer portion a different 3? target specific portion and different stems. The plurality of queried miRNAs can then be decoded in a plurality of amplification reactions.
