Patent number: 9834747Abstract: In exemplary implementations, transplantation of nucleic acids into cells occurs in microfluidic chambers. The nucleic acids may be large nucleic acid molecules with more than 100 kbp. In some cases, the microfluidic chambers have only one orifice that opens to a flow channel. In some cases, flow through a microfluidic chamber temporarily ceases due to closing one or more valves. Transplantation occurs during a period in which the contents of the chambers are shielded from shear forces. Diffusion, centrifugation, suction from a vacuum channel, or dead-end loading may be used to move cells or buffers into the chambers.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2014Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Andreas Mershin, James Pelletier, Neil Gershenfeld, John Glass, Elizabeth Strychalski

Patent number: 7890310Abstract: The present invention provides a framework to let users systematically analyze, and design controllers for, complex non-linear dynamic systems modeled in a block diagram environment. By extracting linearized models from non-linear plant models (block diagrams), users can use one or more control design and tuning methodologies available for linear systems. Complex side effects, such as cross-coupling and exogenous disturbances, are viewable and can be dealt with in real-time during a design. The results of a design are automatically implemented in a block diagram.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2004Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: John Glass, Pascal Gahinet

Patent number: 7865254Abstract: A method of manipulating a block diagram model with a plurality of graphical modeling components by defining an open loop anywhere on the block diagram model is provided. Graphical modeling components in series with the open loop may be automatically recognized and a plurality of parameters of the graphical modeling components in series with the open loop may be displayed on a display device. A user may simultaneously tune the parameters of the graphical modeling components in series with the open loop. Factorization points breaking the block diagram model in two disconnected parts may be identified in the block diagram model. A virtual graphical model may be generated by replacing a pattern of the graphical modeling components between two factorization points with a single graphical modeling component representing the pattern.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2007Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: Pascal Gahinet, John Glass, Alec Stothert, Craig Buhr

Patent number: 7643973Abstract: Method and systems for analyzing the linearization of a model in a modeling environment are disclosed. The modeling environment may provide tools for linearizing the model to generate a linear model. The modeling environment may also provide tools for analyzing the linearization of the model. The tools for analyzing the linearization of the model may inspect the linear model to determine whether the model is properly linearized. The results of the linearization may be provided to users so that the users are able modify the linearization result and have the model linearized again using the modified information.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2004Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventor: John Glass

Publication number: 20080125367Abstract: An amphipathic helix at the approximate N-terminus of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural proteins mediates the association of these proteins with cytoplasmic membranes in infected cells. This association is essential for replication. Thus, assessing the ability of compounds or protocols to disrupt the association of such helices with cytoplasmic membranes permits identification of compounds and protocols which are useful in the treatment of HCV infection. Also useful in the invention are mimics, or function-disrupting ligands, of an amphipathic helix of the nonstructural proteins described herein and antibodies and fragments thereof immunoreactive with said helix.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2007Publication date: May 29, 2008Inventors: Jeffrey Glenn, Tina Myers, John Glass

Publication number: 20070269862Abstract: A method is provided for introducing a genome into a cell or cell-like system. The introduced genome may occur in nature, be manmade with or without automation, or may be a hybrid of naturally occurring and manmade materials. The genome is obtained outside of a cell with minimal damage. Materials such as a proteins, RNAs, polycations, nucleoid condensation proteins, or gene translation systems may accompany the genome. The genome is installed into a naturally occurring cell or into a manmade cell-like system. A cell-like system or synthetic cell resulting from the practice of the provided method may be designed and used to yield gene-expression products, such as desired proteins. By enabling the synthesis of cells or cell-like systems comprising a wide variety of genomes, accompanying materials and membrane types, the provided method makes possible a broader field of experimentation and bioengineering than has been available using prior art methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2006Publication date: November 22, 2007Inventors: John Glass, Lei Young, Carole Lartigue, Nacyra Assad-Garcia, Hamilton Smith, Clyde Hutchison, J.
