Publication number: 20230102750Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing one or more compiled workflows at a biological foundry are provided. A representation of an uncompiled workflow to produce engineering targets is obtained. The representation is translated into a first corresponding instance of a compiled workflow. If the translation satisfaction of various threshold translation criteria is determined, and the first corresponding instance of the compiled workflow is executed to complete a first portion of manufacture of the engineering targets. If the executing satisfaction of various threshold execution criteria is determined, the representation is translated into a second corresponding instance of the compiled workflow different from the first corresponding instance. If this translation satisfaction of the various threshold translation criteria is determined, the second corresponding instance of the compiled workflow is executed to complete a second portion of the manufacture of the engineering targets.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2021Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Federico PARIETTI, Kameron C. CHAN, Alice MELOCCHI, Jeffrey Ackerman CURHAN, Michelle CHEN, Nolan DICKEY, Joaquin GIRALDO-LAGUNA, Roger Dean LO, Lawrence Zachary BRIGHT

Patent number: 11198845Abstract: A rigid cartridge for housing and removably coupling with a soft body bioreactor is provided. The rigid cartridge includes rigid walls defining a rigid housing. The rigid walls expose a fixed interior configured to house the soft body. An interior surface of a first rigid wall includes a first mating mechanism to engage a second mating mechanism of the soft body to removably coupled with the rigid cartridge and accommodate the soft body in the fixed interior of the rigid cartridge. A rigid wall includes a planar upper surface including an aperture. Each aperture is encompassed by an annular hood protruding upwardly from the substantially planar upper surface and integrally formed with the at least one rigid wall. The aperture is configured to receive and fixed engage a corresponding connector. Each connector includes a rigid coupling mechanism that provides communication with a corresponding plurality of ports of the soft body.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2021Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Multiply Labs Inc.Inventors: Federico Parietti, Kameron C.

Patent number: 10773392Abstract: A gripping device comprises multiple flexures configured to couple predetermined linkages, a fixed linkage, and an input linkage disposed partially above the fixed linkage. The input linkage comprises a first end portion and a second end portion. Each end portion comprises an output linkage comprising a first end portion and a second end portion, a jaw disposed on the first end portion of the output linkage, and an initial damper linkage disposed below the fixed linkage. The initial damper linkage is coupled with the fixed linkage, the corresponding end portion of the input linkage, and the second end portion of the output linkage. At least one auxiliary damper linkage is disposed below the fixed linkage and adjacent to the initial damper linkage. The at least one auxiliary damper linkage is coupled to the fixed linkage and the second end portion of the output linkage.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2019Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Multiply Labs Inc.Inventors: Lawrence Zachary Bright, Jeffrey Ackerman Curhan, Kameron C.

Patent number: 9845167Abstract: A dispensing system comprises a main base with a hopper insertion hole. An upper base, fixed above the main base by spacers, comprises a stirrer insertion hole. A lower base, below the main base, has a hopper insertion hole with an aperture larger than a diameter of a hopper, and is coupled to the main base by a guide. A rotatable hopper, disposed in the insertion hole of the main base, comprises a bottom surface with metering holes. A stirrer, inside the hopper and fixed to the upper base, feeds material into the metering holes. A gate, on a bottom surface of the lower base, comprises a bottom surface with a dispensing hole. The gate diameter is greater than the hopper. A gate spring, between the bottom of the main base and an upper surface of the lower base, is mounted parallel to a sliding motion of the lower base. A vibration device agitates the assembly on the main base.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2017Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: MULTIPLY LABS INC.Inventors: Federico Parietti, Kameron C.
