Patent number: 11667908Abstract: A portable nucleic acid extraction kit includes a portable nucleic acid extraction apparatus, at least one lysis buffer, at least one binding buffer, at least one washing buffer, at least one elution buffer, and at least three kit sample tubes. The portable nucleic acid extraction apparatus includes a handle, a rod, a tip, and may include a nucleic acid binding medium. The method of using the portable nucleic acid extraction apparatus includes, treating a biological sample having a nucleic acid, binding the nucleic acid in the treated biological sample to the tip of the portable nucleic acid extraction apparatus, incubating the tip of the portable nucleic acid extraction apparatus bound with the nucleic acid, washing the tip of the portable nucleic acid apparatus bound with the nucleic acid, eluting the bound nucleic acid, and analyzing the eluted nucleic acid.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2016Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Inventors: Abraham Oommen, Andrew Rush, Heather Piscatelli, Seth Lewin, Brandon Hatch

Patent number: 10514714Abstract: A method for heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems is described. In one embodiment, the method includes measuring a temperature of a first room of a building via a first thermometer placed in the first room and measuring a temperature of a second room of the building via a second thermometer placed in the second room and receiving the temperature of the first room via a first data communication device communicatively coupled to a first HVAC register in the first room and receiving the temperature of the second room via a second data communication device communicatively coupled to a second HVAC register in the second room. In some cases, the first data communication device is configured to communicate data between the first thermometer and a central automation controller and the second data communication device is configured to communicate data between the second thermometer and the central automation controller.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2018Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Vivint, Inc.Inventors: Brian Call, Nicholas Brown, Jason Carter, Darren Noble, Brandon Hatch, Brandon Bunker
