Publication number: 20160161479Abstract: The invention relates to optoelectronic systems for detecting one or more target particles. The system includes a reaction chamber, a specimen collector, an optical detector, and a reservoir containing cells, each of the cells having receptors which are present on the surface of each cell and are specific for the target particle to be detected, where binding of the target particle to the receptors directly or indirectly activates a reporter molecule, thereby producing a measurable optical signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2014Publication date: June 9, 2016Inventors: James Douglas Harper, Richard Hart Mathews, Bernadette Johnson, Martha Susan Petrovick, Ann Rundell, Frances Ellen Nargi, Timothy Stephens, Linda Marie Mendenhall, Mark Alexander Hollis, Albert M. Young, Todd H. Rider, Eric David Schwoebel, Trina Rae Vian

Patent number: 7499047Abstract: A system and process for capturing and rendering ink is described. An ink canvas object may contain none, one, or more objects or elements and may specify the z-order of the objects or elements. The ink canvas object may host a variety of objects or elements and, therefore, provide ink functionality to the objects or elements, even though the objects or elements themselves may not have ink functionality. The ink canvas object is attached to an ink editor that has an associated modifiable ink editor behavior, whereby ink specific behaviors are collected in the ink edit behavior.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2007Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Andrew Silverman, Sam George, Shiraz Somji, Koji Kato, Brigette Krantz, Alex Mogilevsky, Mark Douglas Harper, Quan Binh To, Vladimir Smirnov, Benjamin M. Westbrook

Patent number: 7334236Abstract: Described is a mechanism for providing scoped modular services (SMS) through an API. A common set of services is provided by the API that may be enabled or disabled by each component. The services are managed using a property system in the same manner as element properties are used, such as properties relating to text formatting. This helps to ensure fine control and a high degree of customization for a user interface. The use of the services is not limited to editing in the common sense of the word. The SMS is a mechanism for controlling access to implementation of services contained within a tree of components. Services may also be created by developers that are managed by a service manager along with the common services.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2003Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Alex Mogilevsky, Mark Douglas Harper, Kevin Blaine Gjerstad
