Publication number: 20240158780Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for enrichment of at least one target nucleic acid in a library of nucleic acids. A first oligonucleotide is hybridized to a target nucleic acid in library of nucleic acids having first and second adapters. The hybridized first oligonucleotide is extended with a first polymerase, thereby producing a first primer extension complex including the target nucleic acid and the extended first oligonucleotide. The first primer extension complex is captured, enriched relative to the library of nucleic acids, and a second oligonucleotide is hybridized to the target nucleic acid. The hybridized second oligonucleotide is extended with a second polymerase, thereby producing a second primer extension complex including the target nucleic acid and the extended second oligonucleotide, and further liberating the extended first oligonucleotide from the first primer extension complex.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Daniel Burgess, Brian Christopher Godwin, Alexander Lovejoy, Bronwen Miller, Jo-Anne Elizabeth Penkler, Joseph Platzer

Patent number: 11928849Abstract: A mechanism is provided to implement an action-object interaction detection mechanism for recognizing actions in cluttered video scenes. An object bounding box is computed around an object of interest identified in a corresponding label in an initial frame where the object of interest appears in the frame. The object bounding box is propagated from the initial frame to a subsequent frame. For the initial frame and the subsequent frame: the object bounding boxes of the initial frame and the subsequent frame are refined and cropped based on the associated refined object bounding boxes. The set of cropped frames are processed to determine a probability that an action that is to be verified from the corresponding label is being performed. Responsive to determining the probability is equal to or exceeds a verification threshold, a confirmation is provided that the action-object interaction video performs the action that is to be verified.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Anupama Jagannathan, Anne Elizabeth Gattiker

Publication number: 20240002881Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a viral vector suitable for introducing a therapeutic agent, such as a peptide, protein or small RNA, into a host or otherwise treating a host. The vector may include an exogenous RNA segment with a hairpin-like structure or having two or more base-paired regions separated by one or more non-base-paired regions. The exogenous RNA segment may have a secondary structure, minimum free energy, average positional entropy or other attributes within specified ranges, or with values similar to one or more hairpin-like structures of a reference wild type virus. Optionally, the RNA vector may be derived from the reference wild type virus or a relative of the reference wild type virus. In some examples, the vector is capable of capable of systemic and phloem-limited movement and replication within a host plant. In some examples, the reference wild type virus is an umbravirus-like associated RNA.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicants: University of Maryland, College Park, Silvec Biologics Inc.Inventors: Anne Elizabeth Simon, Changyong Jang, Elizabeth Carino, Feng Gao

Publication number: 20230348924Abstract: The specification describes an RNA vector. The vector may be derived from a plant virus or an umbravirus-like associated RNA such as Citrus yellow vein-associated virus (CYVaV). The vector contains a heterologous segment comprising a small interfering RNA (siRNA) that targets Xylella fastidiosa (Xf). In some examples, the heterologous segment may target the Xf PilG and/or TolC gene. The heterologous segment may be in the form of a hairpin structure inserted into a CYVaV-like molecule. A method of treating a plant against a disease caused by Xf includes introducing the vector into a plant before or after the plant is infected by Xf. The specification also describes a plant, or a portion of a plant, containing the vector and/or the heterologous segment. The plant may be a grapevine.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Jose Pedro FONSECA, Anne Elizabeth SIMON

Patent number: 11423252Abstract: An object dataset creation or modification mechanism is provided for object dataset creation or modification using a labeled action-object video. For a plurality of frames of the labeled action-object video, an identification is made of a subset of frames where a bounding box object (BBO) exists. BBOs in the subset of frames where a BBO exists are pruned to identify sufficiently distinct BBOs thereby forming a set of pruned BBOs. For each pruned BBO in the set of pruned BBOs: an information addition score is determined; the information addition score is assessed; responsive to the information addition score being positively assessed, the pruned BBO is added to an object dataset; and, responsive to the information addition score being negatively assessed, the pruned BBO is discarded.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2021Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Anupama Jagannathan, Anne Elizabeth Gattiker

Patent number: 11413938Abstract: A capsule for a volatile substance distribution system includes a housing having a first end and a second end and that defines a longitudinal axis that extends between the first end and the second end. The capsule also includes an inlet port disposed proximate the first end and an outlet port disposed proximate the second end. Additionally, the capsule includes a volatile substance member within the housing. The first end is configured to be removably supported by a base unit with the inlet port fluidly connecting with an air outlet of the base unit for receiving an airflow from the air outlet that moves into the housing and across the volatile substance member as the airflow flows from the inlet port to the outlet port. The inlet port is defined by a tapered inlet surface that directs the airflow radially with respect to the longitudinal axis.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Henkel AG & Co.
