  • Publication number: 20240287619
    Abstract: The melting temperature of double-stranded polynucleotides is used to create temperature-sensitive tags for tracking the exposure of food items to high temperatures. Once a food item is exposed to a temperature that exceeds the melting temperature of the double-stranded polynucleotides, the two strands melt and then reanneal in a different conformation. This change in conformation can be detected by fluorophores attached to one of the polynucleotide strands. The double-stranded polynucleotides may be applied directly to food items as an edible tag. Alternatively, a tag that includes a substrate with bound polynucleotides may be attached like a sticker to the food items. This provides an economical and small device for determining if individual food items were exposed to temperatures that could negatively affect quality or safety.

  • Patent number: 11996987
    Abstract: A system, methods, and computer-readable media are provided herein for real-time “live” identification of connectivity issues with autonomous predictive solution provision via a diagnostic application supported by a machine-learning model. In aspects, live data in a targeted application is captured in an on-going manner and used by the diagnostic application to automatically identify connectivity issues. When connectivity issues are detected, the live data capture is pushed to the model so that the model can make a predictive classification of the error based on geospatial, temporal, and/or geospatial-temporal alignments in the data. Based on the classification, the model predicts a solution and the diagnostic application provides the solution to the user of the targeted application.

  • Patent number: 11993769
    Abstract: This disclosure describes particles and techniques for storing oligonucleotides that provide stable, long-term protection yet are also compostable. A core is coated with a layer of oligonucleotides and encapsulated under an outer layer of non-porous, hydrolyzed organosilicon disulfide. The hydrolyzed organosilicon disulfide protects the oligonucleotides from oxidative and thermal damage under typical storage conditions. One suitable organosilicon disulfide is bis(3-triethoxysilylpropyl) disulfide (BTSPD). The oligonucleotides may be retrieved by contacting the particles with a reducing agent that degrades the disulfide bonds in the outer layer. The disulfide bonds enable removal of the protective encapsulation without the use of dangerous chemicals such as hydrogen fluoride. Instead of retrieving the oligonucleotides, the particles may be disposed of in a composting environment. In an implementation, the oligonucleotides are artificially synthesized and encode digital information.
