  • Patent number: 11961614
    Abstract: A disinfecting tracking network for creating healthier environments. The system and methods for tracking and utilizing this information to build and maintain healthier environments with a laboratory approach to data inputs. This system is a cloud based system with IOT interface and APIs to enable broad reaching inputs for analysis. This system creates a safer ecosystem and cross statistic sharing of performance parameters.

  • Publication number: 20240099212
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel methods for increasing recombination so that the resulting plant or plant material has an increased rate of recombination. In particular, the present invention provides methods for increase of recombination in agricultural plants. Increased recombination is achieved by a controlled temperature treatment by aligning meiosis progression in a specific treatment window to macroscopically or microscopically detectable characteristics. Furthermore, the methods described herein are also useful to shift meiotic recombination to regions in the genome which usually show a reduced amount of recombination. The resulting plants can for example be used to introduce new genetic variations into breeding pools and breeding populations, as the methods can be performed without a significant loss in fertility usually going along with uncontrolled heat/cold treatments.

  • Patent number: 11918698
    Abstract: A disinfection platform for at least partially disinfecting a proximal surface is provided. A disinfection apparatus includes a housing defining an aperture, a UV light source enclosed in the housing configured to project a UV illumination pattern toward a target disinfection area where the disinfection apparatus is disposed above one end and oriented at a downward angle. The illumination pattern output from the disinfection apparatus at least partially defined by louvers and an occlusion nose with reflective fins positioned at the aperture such that the illumination pattern at the target disinfection surface has improved intensity distribution. Multiple sensors cooperate with a control circuit operating the UV light source to provide intelligent and automated control with pattern detection, event based disinfection, and validation.

  • Patent number: 9898780
    Abstract: A method and system for the issuance of Instant Credit has an Instant Credit engine that performs instantaneous analyses. The method and system can operate along side existing “batch” processes. In addition, the method and system offer various channels of distribution for the Instant Credit products. With the present invention, Instant Credit and other Instant services (e.g., instant account balance transfers, etc.) can be obtained via, Internet, point-of-sale and other distribution channels. The present system also enables highly dynamic product offerings, which can be generated “instantaneously” based on a variety of factors, such as, for example, the channels of distribution (e.g., telephone or Internet), the product sought and/or even the particular individual and/or entity that is applying for a line of credit.
