Patent number: 11932859Abstract: Methods are provided herein for assembling at least two nucleic acids using a sequence specific nuclease agent (e.g., a gRNA-Cas complex) to create end sequences having complementarity and subsequently assembling the overlapping complementary sequences. The nuclease agent (e.g., a gRNA-Cas complex) can create double strand breaks in dsDNA in order to create overlapping end sequences or can create nicks on each strand to produce complementary overhanging end sequences. Assembly using the method described herein can assemble any nucleic acids having overlapping sequences or can use a joiner oligo to assemble sequences without complementary ends.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: Chris Schoenherr, John McWhirter, Corey Momont, Caitlin L. Goshert, Lynn Macdonald, Gregg S. Warshaw, Jose F. Rojas, Ka-Man Venus Lai, David M. Valenzuela, Andrew J. Murphy

Publication number: 20220378111Abstract: A method for activating a vaporizer device may include a point-of-sale device receiving, based on an identifier of the vaporizer device, activation data associated with the vaporizer device. The vaporizer device may be activated by communicating, to the vaporizer device, the activation data. The point-of-sale device may communicate the activation data to the vaporizer device via a dock coupled with the vaporizer device. Moreover, the point-of-sale device may communicate the activation data to the vaporizer device through a packaging of the vaporizer device. Alternatively, the point-of-sale device may communicates the activation data to the vaporizer device by communicating the activation data to a computing device associated with a user of the vaporizer device. The computing device may further communicate the activation data to the vaporizer device via audio signals and/or optical signals corresponding to the activation data. Related systems and articles of manufacture are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2022Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Brandon Cheung, Steven Christensen, Kevin Lomeli, Andrew L. Murphy, Jeffrey M. Quackenbush, Immaneni Hiteshwar Rao, John Travis Wettroth

Publication number: 20200000143Abstract: A vaporizer system may include a vaporizer device communicatively coupled with a user device configured to control the functions and/or features of the vaporizer device. The vaporizer device may serve as a replacement for traditional combustible cigarettes. Accordingly, the user device may be configured to collect usage data from the vaporizer device and generate recommendations to enhance and/or expedite the transition from traditional combustible cigarettes to the vaporizer device. For example, the user device may provide puff coaching to enable a more satisfying initial experience. Alternatively and/or additionally, the user device may recommend pod types and/or puff patterns that are associated with a reduction in overall intake.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2019Publication date: January 2, 2020Inventors: Samuel C.
