  • VIRTUAL REALITY SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20210325683
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods may include an example assembly for isolating an inertial measurement unit, for example, in the case of a virtual reality system. Additionally, an example system may include shock-absorbing devices, for example for head-mounted displays. In some examples, the disclosed systems and methods may include a form-in-place gasket for water ingress protection around a flexible printed circuit board. The disclosed systems may also include a system for enhancing remote or virtual social experiences using biosignals. The disclosed systems may additionally include a split device with identity fixed to physical location. Various other related methods and systems are also disclosed.

  • Multiplex assays for inferring ancestry
    Publication number: 20070037182
    Abstract: Oligonucleotide primers and probes for detecting Ancestry informative marker (AIMs) polynucleotides that contain a single nucleotide polymorphism or that contain an insertion or deletion, are provided, as are methods of using the oligonucleotide primers and probes to draw an inference as to a trait of an individual. The trait can be, for example, biogeographical ancestry, a pigmentation trait, responsiveness to a drug, or susceptibility to a disease. Also provided are methods of determining the proportional ancestry of an individual. Reagents and kits also are provided.

  • Method of analyzing single nucleotide polymorphisms using melting curve and restriction endonuclease digestion
    Patent number: 6506568
    Abstract: A method for discriminating between two or more alleles which differ by only a single nucleotide is provided. This method is suitable for use in solution or on a solid phase and employs the use of restriction enzyme digestion of DNA in combination with Melting Curve Analysis. Also contemplated are specific markers to be included in melting curve analysis and melting curve genotyping experiments.
