Patents by Inventor Kent Kemmish

Kent Kemmish has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11339423
    Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for encoding data into nucleic acid molecules. Methods and systems disclosed can include the use of promiscuous template nucleic acid molecules which enables data encoding using environmental modifications to yield encoded nucleic acid molecules.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 11, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 24, 2022
    Inventors: Bryan Bishop, Tudor Boloni, Kent Kemmish, Maxwell Berry
  • Patent number: 10908144
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved form of nanopore-based molecular sensor: a stack of coaligned nanopores in an equivalent number of directly stacked membranes. One or more of the membranes is moved laterally, altering the volumetric shape and thus the sensing characteristics of the passage. This allows at least three major improvements over existing nanopore sensors: 1) volumetrically tunable sensors allow sensing over a wider range of analyte sizes, 2) volumetric shape changes allow a a novel form of translocation control over transiting molecules, enabling more information to be derived from single molecules through interactions with the walls of the passage and controllable alterations in the local electrostratic and hydrodynamic environment, and 3) volumetric shape changes allow regeneration of an appropriate sensor geometry in the event of corrosion or clogging, greatly extending the useful lifetime of individual sensors.
