Publication number: 20240124921Abstract: Detecting analytes using proximity-induced tagmentation, strand invasion, restriction, or ligation is provided herein. In some examples, detecting an analyte includes coupling a donor recognition probe to a first portion of the analyte. The donor recognition probe includes a first recognition element specific to the first portion of the analyte, a first oligonucleotide corresponding to the first portion, and a transposase coupled to the first recognition element and the first oligonucleotide. An acceptor recognition probe is coupled to a second portion of the analyte. The acceptor recognition probe includes a second recognition element specific to the second portion of the analyte and a second oligonucleotide coupled to the second recognition element and corresponding to the second portion. The transposase is used to generate a reporter polynucleotide including the first and second oligonucleotides. The analyte is detected based on the reporter including comprising the first and second oligonucleotides.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Andrew KENNEDY, Sarah SHULTZABERGER, Kayla BUSBY, Colin BROWN, Andrew PRICE, Eric VERMAAS, Rigoberto PANTOJA, Matthew Feeley, Jennifer ZOU, Yong LI, Sepideh ALMASI, Anindita DUTTA, Michelle ALVAREZ

Publication number: 20130019630Abstract: A rapid beverage chilling apparatus includes an inner reservoir, an electrical compartment, an impeller, a control wire cord, an outer reservoir, and a plurality of attachments. The inner reservoir includes a concentrically positioned beverage cavity and a plurality of drain holes. The electrical compartment, which includes a battery and a motor, is electrically connected with the wire cord. The electrical compartment also connected with the impeller and connected within the beverage cavity by the plurality of attachments. In order to chill a beverage container, the beverage container has to be positioned within the beverage cavity and placed on top of the impeller. When the rapid beverage chilling apparatus is switched on, the battery powers the motor which rotates the impeller. The impeller transports cold water from the outer reservoir, through the plurality of drain holes, into the beverage cavity to chill the beverage container.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2012Publication date: January 24, 2013Inventor: George Andrew BUSBY

Publication number: 20100241588Abstract: A system and method are provided for providing improved market depth information for traders in exchanges such as a commodity exchange, for example. By adding a confidence rating or quality data to the depth information, the invention provides more useful depth information that should make it much easier for traders to see what is really going on in a market, such as which orders really are working with an intention to be filled. The confidence rating or quality data also may reduce the influence of automated tools on the market place. The confidence ratings may be based on historic behavior patterns of traders or accounts so that a history may be maintained for each trader or account and used to create an aggregated confidence rating for projected bid and offer price levels on a known bid volume showing the likelihood that any order may be filled, or to what degree.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2010Publication date: September 23, 2010Inventor: Andrew Busby

Publication number: 20100114751Abstract: A method for reducing the amount of time for a user to submit an order is provided. Volume submission allows a user to submit and revise orders with a single action on a volume entry region. Typically, a user has to set a price and quantity. Many users wait for specific prices or track prices dynamically based on predefined criteria. These trading styles eliminate the need to set the price manually for each transaction. It is advantageous to provide a list or menu of buttons or selections with preconfigured volumes for the user to choose, thus allowing the single action of choosing the volume to submit the order.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2009Publication date: May 6, 2010Inventors: Andrew Busby, William D. Cunningham

Publication number: 20100100503Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing the amount of time for a user to switch markets for a particular contract include market tab strips that allow a user to switch quickly between markets for a particular contract without having to reconfigure the user preferences. Typically, in the prior art, a user will have to reconfigure the market window layout if switching between markets. A market tab strip allows a user to switch between different markets for a particular contract without having to spend time reconfiguring the market window.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2009Publication date: April 22, 2010Inventor: Andrew Busby

Patent number: 7627377Abstract: An improved hearing prosthetic implant and method of stimulating are disclosed. The method comprises stimulating an electrode array using a set of current stimuli having different geometries, so as to provide a more regular and monotonic set of pitch percepts for a user. In one embodiment, this may be achieved by combining different modes of stimulation for a patient, so that some channels utilise one mode and other channels utilise one or more different modes.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2005Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Cochlear LimitedInventors: Graeme Milbourne Clark, Lawrence Thomas Cohen, Peter Andrew Busby

Publication number: 20070265953Abstract: An improved method for monitoring commodities over an exchange having contracts with multiple markets is provided. Smooth scrolling embodiments in accordance with the present invention will move the pre-shift trading screen to a second position, the post-shift trading screen, which is dependent on which direction the market is moving. As the inside market changes, both the offers and bids change and therefore the inside market changes accordingly. As such, it is desirable for a user to be able to track the changes in the inside market and be able to see the highest bid price and the lowest offer price as the market changes on the user's trading screen.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2006Publication date: November 15, 2007Inventors: William Cunningham, Andrew Busby
