  • Publication number: 20240086939
    Abstract: A computing system includes one or more processing circuits configured to identify an anomaly associated with an electronic transaction, wherein the anomaly is identified based on a profile or pattern of a user. The processing circuits further configured to transmit data corresponding to the anomaly to a user interface. The processing circuits further configured to receive, using the user interface, an indication that one or more risks associated with the anomaly are acceptable. The processing circuits further configured to transmit, to the user interface, an indication of at least one rule violation and information for resolving the at least one rule violation. The processing circuits further configured to receive, from the user interface, a response setting an exception and update the profile of the user, wherein updating comprises changing a classification of the profile of the user based on profile data consistent with the electronic transaction.

  • Patent number: 10399048
    Abstract: Samples in an array of containers are processed by mounting the containers on a sample stage, moving magnets into proximity with bottoms of the containers of a first column of containers to apply a magnetic field, moving the magnets into proximity with bottoms of the containers of a second column, and moving heater elements into proximity with the container bottoms of the first column. While the magnetic field is applied to the containers of the second column, heat energy may be applied to the containers of the first column. The process may be repeated for additional columns. The containers may also be shaken to agitate the samples. A single apparatus may perform heating, shaking, and magnetic field application, without needing to transport the containers to different stations.

  • Patent number: 9260696
    Abstract: A method for producing NK cells from pluripotent stem cells, which includes culturing pluripotent stem cells in a first serum-free medium, aggregating the undifferentiated stem cells to form embryoid bodies, which are cultured to produce hematopoietic precursor cells, and culturing the precursor cells in a serum-free medium to produce the NK cells. Methods for using such NK cells, e.g., in the treatment of cancer and infectious disease are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9103809
    Abstract: An automated liquid handling system is disclosed. A system includes a first pipetting group, which includes at least one pipettor, movably arranged on a first arm; and a second pipetting group, which includes at least one pipettor, movably arranged on a second arm, wherein the first arm and the second arm are movably arranged on at least one track such that the first arm and the second arm can independently move along the at least one track while keeping the first arm parallel with the second arm, wherein the at least one pipettor of the first pipetting group is arranged on a side of the first arm facing the second pipetting group, wherein the at least one pipettor of the second pipetting group is arranged on a side of the second arm facing the first pipetting group.

  • Patent number: 6316195
    Abstract: Karnal bunt of wheat is caused by Tilletia indica Mitra. Recently, teliospores morphologically resembling T. indica were isolated from bunted ryegrass seeds and wheat seed washes. Previously developed PCR assays failed to differentiate T. indica from the newly discovered ryegrass pathogen, T. walkeri. The nucleotide sequence of a 2.3-kb region of mitochondrial DNA, previously amplified by PCR only from T. indica, was determined for three isolates of T. indica and for three isolates of T. walkeri. There was greater than 99% identity within either the T. indica group or the T. walkeri group of isolates, whereas there was approximately 3% divergence between isolates of these two Tilletia species. Five sets of PCR primers were made specific to T. indica, and three sets were designed specifically for T. walkeri based upon nucleotide differences within the mtDNA region.
