Publication number: 20230191346Abstract: A microfluidic system and method suitable for liquid mixing. The microfluidic system uses a pump (400) as the driving source, which draws at least two liquid samples that are to be mixed into the pump (400). Some air is drawn into the pump (400) as well. The system is also comprised of a mixing reservoir (203). The two liquids drawn into the pump (400) are pushed into the mixing reservoir (203). The air bubbles generated by the air have a stirring effect on the mixed liquid in the mixing reservoir (203). After the air bubbles burst, left at rest, and the air has risen to the top of the mixing reservoir (203), the mixed liquid is drawn back to the pump (400) and fed to the outlet (103) for subsequent detection steps. The addition of an antifoaming agent will prevent the accumulation of air bubbles during the mixing process.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2019Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: BioFab LimitedInventors: Gareth Jenkins, Xin Yang

Patent number: 10351846Abstract: An apparatus and method for applying a chemistry to samples of interest are provided. The apparatus and method include a flexible tape mounted on an arrangement of guide rollers. Samples of interest (e.g., clusters of DNA templates) are bound to at least one surface of the flexible tape. The method and apparatus further comprise one or more read heads in relation to the flexible tape and a plurality of reservoirs along a path of the flexible tape. The reservoirs comprise liquids comprising chemical reagents for performing the chemistry on the samples of interest bound to the at least one surface of the flexible tape. The method and apparatus further comprise a drive system for driving at least one of the guide rollers to advance the flexible tape into and out of the reservoirs.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2015Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: ILLUMINA CAMBRIDGE LIMITEDInventors: Jonathan Mark Boutell, Gary Mark Skinner, Gareth Jenkins

Patent number: 9773027Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, a method for loading data from a backup image of a database includes selecting a subset statement defining a subset of the data in the database. Tables of the database are identified based on metadata of the database. A target database is written having the structure but not the data of the identified tables. One or more table statements are constructed, by a computer processor, defining a subset of each identified table based on the subset statement. Selected data is unloaded from a backup image into the target database using respective table statements as filters.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2015Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Sami Abed, Austin Clifford, Konrad Emanowicz, Gareth Jenkins

Patent number: 9135315Abstract: Aspects include data masking in database operations including intercepting a database query and identifying masked data in the query. The masked data in the query is unmasked by substituting the masked data with equivalent real values. The unmasked query is sent to the database engine, and a result provided by the database engine in response to the unmasked query is intercepted. The values in the result that correspond to sensitive information are identified. The result is masked by substituting the values in the result corresponding to sensitive information with masked equivalents. The masked result is returned to a user.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2013Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Internatonal Business Machines CorporationInventors: Pedro Barbas, Austin Clifford, Gareth Jenkins, Brian McKeown
