Publication number: 20240076712Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for simple, instrument-free and sensitive methods that enable rapid, point-of-care detection of nucleic acid molecules of interest. This is based on a surprising discovery that the relative efficiencies of amplification and CRISPR-based cleavage and detection can be tuned to favor amplification until sufficient amplified products are generated to enable detection. Example approaches include design of guide RNA and primers to target nonoptimal PAM sequences, or sequence-engineering Cas nucleases to reduce activities informing a ribonucleoprotein with the guide RNA or binding to or cleaving the substrate nucleic acid.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Hao Yin, Shuhan Lu, Ying Zhang, Xiaohan Tong, Kun Zhang, Xi Zhou, Dingyu Zhang

Publication number: 20240069304Abstract: A voice coil motor held immobile by magnetic attraction when not in use for photography purposes includes a base, a magnet fixed thereto, a carrier, a magnetic member, and a coil. The magnetic member is fixed to the carrier and is attracted by a permanent magnetic field (first MF) of the magnet on the base. The coil is fixed to the carrier and the magnetic member. When the voice coil motor is powered on, the coil generates a second magnetic field (second MF) opposing the first MF. The second MF reduces or eliminates the attractive force of the first MF of the magnet, to separate the carrier and its fittings and allow them to work freely. A lens module and an electronic device are further provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: YU-SHUAI LI, SHIN-WEN CHEN, KUN LI, JIAN-CHAO SONG, WU-TONG WANG, DING FENG
