  • Patent number: 11970731
    Abstract: The invention relates to compounds, methods and compositions for improving on nucleic acid polymerization, including DNA replication by in vitro primer extension to generate, for example, polymers for nanopore-based single molecule sequencing of a DNA template. A nucleic acid polymerase reaction composition is provided with polymerization enhancement moieties, which allows enhanced DNA polymerase activity with nucleotide analogs, resulting in improved length of primer extension products for sequencing applications.

  • Publication number: 20230352636
    Abstract: An exemplary white light emitting device includes a plurality of LEDs disposed on a substrate, where the LEDs emit blue light at substantially the same correlated color temperature; a first photoluminescence material layer disposed over a first subset of the LEDs; a second photoluminescence material layer disposed over a second subset of the LEDs different from the first subset of the plurality of LEDs, the second photoluminescence material layer separate from the first photoluminescence material layer; and a diffusing layer separate from and disposed over the first and second photoluminescence layers, where the diffusing layer is associated with a plurality of light scattering particles.

  • Patent number: 11705543
    Abstract: A white light emitting device may include a substrate, first LEDs disposed on the substrate, a first photoluminescence material disposed over the first LEDs, second LEDs disposed on the substrate, where the first LEDs and the second LEDs emit blue light at substantially the same wavelength, a second photoluminescence material disposed over the second LEDs, the second photoluminescence material having a composition different from the first photoluminescence material, where an emission product of the white light emitting device is a combination of light emitted from (i) a combination of the first LEDs and the first photoluminescence material, and (ii) a combination of the second LEDs and the second photoluminescence material, and a dimming control connected to the first LEDs and to the second LEDs; where the dimming control is actuable to modify the emission product.
