  • Publication number: 20200282392
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to devices for effecting epitachophoresis. Epitachophoresis may be used to effect sample analysis, such as by selective separation, detection, extraction, and/or pre-concentration of target analytes such as, for example, DNA, RNA, and/or other biological molecules. Said target analytes may be collected following epitachophoresis and used for desired downstream applications and further analysis.

  • Patent number: 10539564
    Abstract: Methods, compositions, and reaction mixtures are provided for identifying a T cell receptor (TCR) and an epitope peptide that specifically binds the TCR. Methods, compositions, and reaction mixtures are also provided for identifying a plurality of T cell receptors and corresponding epitope peptides that specifically bind the T cell receptors. In some cases, the plurality of T cell receptors and corresponding epitope peptides can be identified in a highly parallel manner.

  • Patent number: 10503192
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for energy consumption modeling are described herein. One device includes a memory, and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to assign energy consumption data to an on state and an off state of a device, generate a model configured to predict a future state of the device and a duration of the future state based on a duration of a current state of the device, a duration of a previous state of the device, and operating conditions of the device, and predict a future energy consumption of the device using the assigned energy consumption data and the generated model.
