Patent number: 10676790Abstract: A polymer substrate, such as a polymer coating or a polymer hydrogel network, includes carboxyl moieties that can be used as conjugation sites to which receptor or analyte molecules can be attached. In an example, the polymer substrate includes a polyacrylamide polymer network having alkanoic acid moieties or derivatives thereof, which can react with carboxyl activating compounds to provide an activated alkanoate moieties on the polyacrylamide network. Amine-terminated nucleic acids can react with the activated alkanoate moieties to capture the nucleic acid to the polymer network through an alkylamide moiety.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignees: LIFE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION, LIFE TECHNOLOGIES ASInventors: Geir Fonnum, Steven M. Menchen, Alfred Lui, Guobing Xiang, Synne Larsen

Publication number: 20190390018Abstract: A polymer substrate, such as a polymer particle, is formed from a carboxyl functional monomer. In an example, the carboxyl functional monomer has a protection group in place of the OH of the carboxyl group. Once the monomer is polymerized, such a protection group can be removed, providing a polymer network with carboxyl functional sites. Such sites can be used to attach other functionality to the polymer substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2019Publication date: December 26, 2019Inventors: Geir FONNUM, Steven M. MENCHEN, M.

Patent number: 9369419Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement in a communication node for creating a group of contacts to receive a message from a user of a user device. The method includes receiving a tag indicating conditions for the message, and obtaining characteristics of primary contacts of the user. Primary contacts are selected for receiving the message by matching the conditions of the tag with the characteristics of the primary contacts, and primary contacts are selected which have characteristics that match the conditions of the tag. A group including the selected primary contacts is initiated.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2011Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Juwel Rana, Johan Kristiansson, Kåre Synnes, Stefan Håkansson

Patent number: 8943053Abstract: Social networking services, such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Orkut, are changing our communication habits by introducing new tools that simplify and increase on-line interaction. The exemplary embodiments present methods for measuring the social strength among contacts on the basis of users' on-line interactions, which may be significantly used in real-time collaborative task management (e.g., inviting contacts for collaboration, selecting suitable tools for communication, prioritizing information flow). Moreover, exemplary embodiments provide a framework for developing new mobile social networking applications (social search client, smart dialer or contact applications) by extending the use of social ranking of contacts.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2010Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Johan Kristiansson, Josef Hallberg, Juwel Rana, K{dot over (a)}re Synnes, Stefan H{dot over (a)}kansson
