Publication number: 20240364109Abstract: An energy monitoring device is disclosed. The monitoring device includes a network communication module, a date-time module, an electric power measurement module, a memory module, and a transaction construction module. The network communication module allows the energy monitoring device to communicate with another device on a peer-to-peer network. The date-time module keeps track of local date/time information. The electric power measurement module measures an amount of electric power produced/consumed by a power-generating/power-consuming entity. The transaction construction module constructs a blockchain transaction that incorporates the unique cryptographic identifier, the local date/time information, and the measured amount of electric power produced/consumed, and then places the blockchain transaction onto the 2peer-to-peer network for verification by a one or more nodes that comprises a blockchain.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Applicant: JBB Advanced Technologies, LLCInventors: John Taylor Billingsley, JR., Ronald Lyle Chichester, Jason Alexander Novack

Patent number: 12060383Abstract: Protected fluorescent reagent compounds and their methods of synthesis are provided. The compounds are useful in various fluorescence-based analytical methods, including the analysis of highly multiplexed optical reactions in large numbers at high densities, such as single molecule real time nucleic acid sequencing reactions. The compounds contain fluorescent dye elements, that allow the compounds to be detected with high sensitivity at desirable wavelengths, binding elements, that allow the compounds to be recognized specifically by target biomolecules, and protective shield elements, that decrease undesirable contacts between the fluorescent dye elements and the bound target biomolecules and that therefore decrease photodamage of the bound target biomolecules by the fluorescent dye elements.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2023Date of Patent: August 13, 2024Assignee: Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc.Inventors: Lubomir Sebo, Jeremiah Hanes, Gene Shen, Louis Brogley, Stephen Yue, Frank Zheng, Yuri Lapin, John Lyle, Honey Osuna, Andrei Fedorov

Publication number: 20240252394Abstract: An electric shaving massager is an apparatus that is used to facilitate the grooming of body hair as well as to enable the physical stimulation of different body areas. The apparatus includes a modular shaver, a modular massager, a razor head, and a power interface. The modular shaver is an electric shaver that can accommodate different attachments that facilitate the shaving or trimming of different body hair. The modular massager is an electric massager designed to provide physical stimulation to different body areas. The razor head corresponds to one of several razor heads that can be selectively attached to the modular shaver to groom the desired body hair. The power interface enables the selective coupling of the modular massager to the modular shaver. The power interface also enables the power transmission from the modular massager to the modular shaver when the modular massager is coupled to the modular shaver.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2023Publication date: August 1, 2024Inventor: John Lyles
