Patent number: 11938483Abstract: Provided herein are an optical test platform and corresponding method of manufacturing the same. The test platform may include a shell defining a cavity for receiving a sample tube, a first aperture, and a second aperture. The first aperture and the second aperture of the shell may each be configured to optically couple the cavity with an exterior of the shell. The test platform may further include a first window and a second window embedded in the shell. The first window may seal a first aperture and the second window may seal a second aperture. The first window and second window may each permit the optical coupling of the cavity with the exterior of the shell. The first window and the second window may be optically coupled via the cavity, and the shell may prohibit optical coupling between the first window and the second window through the shell.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: BIOMERIEUX, INC.Inventors: Jack R. Hoffmann, Jr., Gregory R. Maes, Jeffrey Edward Price, Jared Ian Bullock, Samuel B. Crandall, Jacky S. Yam, Christopher George Kocher, Walter J. Clynes

Patent number: 10033679Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying electronic messages are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes, at a computing device, concurrently displaying (i) a user interface object that represents a group of messages and (ii) one or more first indicia of a number of messages that have a predefined display status, in the group of messages while foregoing displaying more than one message of the group of messages. The method also includes receiving a selection of the user interface object; and, in response to receiving the selection of the user interface object, displaying messages in the group of messages. The method further includes, in accordance with displaying the messages in the group of messages, modifying the one or more displayed first indicia of the number of messages, which have the predefined display status, in the group of messages.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2014Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Itamar Gilad, Thompson Alexander Ivor Gawley, Jason Briggs Cornwell, Andrew Ward Moedinger, Jeroen Daniël Jillissen, Gregory R.
