Patent number: 12366009Abstract: The invention provides systems, methods, reagents, apparatuses, vectors, and host cells for the continuous evolution of nucleic acids. For example, a lagoon is provided in which a population of viral vectors comprising a gene of interest replicates in a stream of host cells, wherein the viral vectors lack a gene encoding a protein required for the generation of infectious viral particles, and wherein that gene is expressed in the host cells under the control of a conditional promoter, the activity of which depends on a function of the gene of interest to be evolved. Some aspects of this invention provide evolved products obtained from continuous evolution procedures described herein. Kits containing materials for continuous evolution are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2021Date of Patent: July 22, 2025Assignee: President and Fellows of Harvard CollegeInventors: David R.

Patent number: 12353903Abstract: Isolating resources of a virtual machine (VM) guest from a host operating system. A computer system receives an acceptance request from a guest partition corresponding to an isolated VM. The acceptance request identifies a guest memory page that is mapped into a guest physical address space of the guest partition, and a memory page visibility class. The computer system determines whether a physical memory page that is mapped to the guest memory page meets the memory page visibility class. The computer system sets a page acceptance indication for the guest memory page from an unaccepted state to an accepted state based on the physical memory page meeting the memory page visibility class.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2022Date of Patent: July 8, 2025Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jin Lin, David Alan Hepkin, Michael Bishop Ebersol, Stephanie Sumyi Luck, Jonathan Edward Lange, Bruce J.

Publication number: 20250203725Abstract: The present invention is generally a radio frequency apparatus for warming fluids such as IV fluids. In exemplary embodiments, a uniform warming of fluids is achieved by exposing a fluid-carrying tube to Radio Frequency (RF) energy. The RF energy may be supplied by an RF generator, which is coupled to a waveguide. The waveguide typically includes an inlet into which a fluid tube may be introduced. Inside the waveguide, a pathway may be formed wherein the fluid tube may rest in a predetermined position. In exemplary embodiments, the pathway guides the positioning of the tube along a transmission-line length of the waveguide, in a manner such that the tube gradually approaches an electromagnetic field inside the waveguide and exits at a second terminal end of the waveguide. Having absorbed energy supplied from the RF generator, the fluid inside the tube exits the apparatus warmed to a desired temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2025Publication date: June 19, 2025Inventors: Ahmad Khanifar, Ronald Buschur, Kevin Michaels

Patent number: 12332023Abstract: The method and apparatus for a remote weapon station or incorporated into manually-aimed weapons. The methodology requires use of a muzzle velocity sensor that refines the aiming of the second and subsequent fires or volleys fired from weapon systems. When firing the first volley a weapon uses an estimated velocity and, at firing, the muzzle velocity of a projectile is measured. When firing the second volley a weapon's fire control calculates an aiming point using the measured velocity of the first volley.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2024Date of Patent: June 17, 2025Assignee: NOSTROMO, LLCInventors: Kevin Michael Sullivan, Torgrim Jorgensen

Patent number: 12328237Abstract: A device calculates a memory oversubscription threshold for a virtual machine (VM). Based on the memory oversubscription threshold, the device determines a first memory size to be physically allocated to the VM, and a second memory size to be oversubscribed to the VM. The device configures a first virtual non-uniform memory access (NUMA) node comprising a virtual processor and a first virtual memory having the first memory size. The device allocates a first physical memory to back the first virtual memory. The device configures a second virtual NUMA node comprising a second virtual memory having the second memory size. The second virtual NUMA node is a computeless NUMA node. The device configures the VM to use the first virtual NUMA node and the second virtual NUMA node. Based on the second virtual NUMA node being computeless, the VM funnels a memory access to the first virtual memory.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2022Date of Patent: June 10, 2025Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kevin Michael Broas, Yevgeniy M. Bak, Lisa Ru-feng Hsu, Daniel Sebastian Berger
