Publication number: 20220188901Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for automatically identifying and recommending purchases (e.g., in-app purchases) to a user based on the user's personal genetic profile. In certain embodiments, offers for such purchases are conveniently presented in the same software application (e.g., smartphone app or other computing device application) in which a user securely accesses his or her personalized genetic profile test results. Also presented herein are systems and methods for computer application developers to customize apps for presentation of recommended purchases based on a user's personal genetic profile. In certain embodiments, the systems and methods described herein provide for issuing of genetically tailored notifications to one or more mobile health devices of an individual based on an assessment of the individual's genetic profile. Such notifications, for example, can assist an individual in their adherence to particular recommended regiments, such as workout regimens.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2022Publication date: June 16, 2022Inventors: Robin Y. Smith, Marcie A. Glicksman, Sunil Anant Gupta, Edward Joseph Coffey, Kate Blanchard, Stephanie Lento, Shadrack Cgar Frazier

Publication number: 20220142119Abstract: Provided are an animal feeder and method of limiting access to animal feed supported by an animal feeder. The animal feeder can include a base that defines an internal passage sized to at least partially receive a stake driven into a ground surface to support the animal feeder in an upright orientation. The base comprises an anti-climb feature that interferes with efforts by an animal to climb the base from the ground surface. A feed surface cooperates with the base, to be supported by the base at an elevation vertically above the ground surface with the animal feeder in the upright orientation. At least a portion of the base includes an anti-climb feature such as a smooth exterior surface, and includes a dimension that is not able to be gripped by the animal to prevent the animal from climbing the base from the ground surface to the feed surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2021Publication date: May 12, 2022Inventor: Hiram Joseph Coffey

Patent number: 10582298Abstract: A directional acoustic device with an acoustic source or an acoustic receiver and a conduit to which the acoustic source or acoustic receiver is acoustically coupled and within which acoustic energy travels in a propagation direction from the acoustic source or to the acoustic receiver. The conduit has a radiating portion that has a radiating surface with leak openings that define controlled leaks through which acoustic energy radiated from the source into the conduit can leak to the outside environment or through which acoustic energy in the outside environment can leak into the conduit. The radiating surface has a thin sheet with openings through the sheet, and a cover material with a greater acoustic resistance than an acoustic resistance of an opening. The cover material covers at least parts of at least some of the openings, to define controlled acoustic leaks into or out of the conduit.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2016Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: Joseph A. Coffey, Peter C. Santoro, Edwin C. Johnson, Jr.

Publication number: 20200027526Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods related to a scalable and platform-agnostic framework that facilitates the creation of personal genetic profile products. In particular, in certain embodiments, the systems and methods described herein facilitate the creation, storage, organization, and maintenance (e.g. updating) of data corresponding to the relationships between particular variations that may occur in an individual's DNA (e.g. variants of different specific SNPs) and the health-related phenotypes that they influence. The data stored in this manner can be used as a template not only for presenting personal genetic profile assessments to an individual in an informative and user-friendly manner, but also for the rapid, automated creation of personal genetic profile assessments of a plurality of individuals from data corresponding to genotyping measurements of biological samples provided by the individuals.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2017Publication date: January 23, 2020Inventors: Robin Y. Smith, Kate Blanchard, Sunil Anant Gupta, Edward Joseph Coffey, Marcie A. Glicksman, Brian Phillips

Publication number: 20180300455Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods to record and track, via a graphical user interface, biological samples, and biological material extracted therefrom, used to generate genotyping data. As biological samples are processed in several stages to extract biological material and perform genotyping tests, IDs are assigned to biological samples and biological material for individuals as well as well plates used during processing of the biological samples and the biological material in order to organize the samples and the tests. Biological samples are assigned to well plates for use in extracting biological material. Biological material is assigned to genotyping plates for use in performing genotyping tests. By associating IDs corresponding to biological samples or biological material with IDs for well plates or genotyping plates, respectively, a user can track which extractions and/or tests need to be performed and record which biological samples have been received or genotyping plates analyzed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2017Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventors: Robin Y.
