  • Patent number: 12320734
    Abstract: An analysis instrument may perform analytical operations on an analyte that is combined with multiple reagents prior to being introduced into a flow cell. The instrument may include a nozzle sipper that aspirates reagents from a recipient, along with an analyte. The reagents may be directed to a volume and may be repeatedly moved into and out of the volume by cycling of a pump. The reagents may be ejected into a destination recipient with the nozzle sipper promoting vorticity in the recipient to enhance mixing. The repeated aspiration and ejection through the nozzle sipper effectively mixes the reagents and the template in an automated or semi-automated fashion.

  • Patent number: 12314377
    Abstract: A zero-knowledge personal assistant is enabled by a universal data scaffold. Because the information is mapped to a universal data scaffold in a structured format, a data management platform can easily organize, display, and draw associations between the information. The universal data scaffold and structured user data resides on a user's device, preventing data from being obtained by third parties. To analyze data and produce recommendations for the virtual assistant, a set of rules associated with the universal data scaffold can be applied to the user data. Information can be encrypted and shared between users without being decrypted by a third-party.

  • Publication number: 20250138923
    Abstract: A computing system includes a first computing device that executes an object-oriented software application which maintain objects, for example, in a heap data structure, in memory. The object-oriented software application includes an API to convert between objects in the memory and data in a relational database and transmit requests to perform one or more operations involving the data in the relational database corresponding to the objects in the memory. A decorator layer in communication with the API identifies the objects in the memory corresponding to the transmitted requests to perform one or more operations involving the data in the relational database. A local object storage API transfers copies of the identified objects to a local data store. A persistence API, in communication with the decorator layer and the object storage API, synchronizes the copied objects in the local data store with the data involved in the requests to perform the one or more operations with the relational database.
