  • Patent number: 11279940
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for editing the genome of a microbial host cell in successive rounds of transformation. The method allows the introduction of genetic edits into the genome of a microbial host cell in an iterative fashion that does not require the use of functional counterselection following at least one round of transformation. It can be used to rapidly stack genetic edits in the genome of a microbial host cell. Kits for performing the methods are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220017946
    Abstract: The present invention includes a method of detecting and treating a patient suspected of having Barrett's esophagus comprising: obtaining a biological sample from an esophagus of the patient; determining a microbiome in the biological sample by detecting the presence of bacteria by plasmid dilution verification or quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR); wherein if the patient has a microbiome indicative of an increased risk of esophageal cancer threating the patient with at least one of: removing at least part of the esophagus, esophagectomy probiotic therapy, or chemically targeting elimination of bacteria indicative of an increased risk of esophageal cancer.

  • Patent number: 11159127
    Abstract: A thermal and environmental noise suppressing interface circuit which is configured to operate cold and is configured to perform biasing with suppression of noise currents from room temperature noise voltages and dc coupled rf readout of a superconducting device under test with a single coaxial cable or equivalent conductor pair. The circuit is configured to suppress the propagation of thermal and environmental noises to/from sensors operating at a different temperature from its operating and control equipment while maintaining a single input-output channel, and provides for the placement of a local grounding impedance on an intercept board.

  • Publication number: 20210210078
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are described herein for placing secondary content into a break of unknown duration in a stream of primary content. In one aspect, the described techniques may include streaming a segment of primary content, for example, by a reduce capability client device, such as a mobile device or tablet. The device may receive information indicative of a break in the streaming of the primary content. The device may play secondary content based on receiving the information indicative of the break. The device may determine when a next segment of the primary content is available, and begin streaming the next segment of the primary content upon detecting that the second segment of the primary content is available.
