Publication number: 20230323474Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for isolating DNA, such as cell-free DNA (cfDNA). In some embodiments, the cell-free DNA is from a subject having or suspected of having cancer and/or the cell-free DNA comprises DNA produced by a tumor. In some embodiments, the DNA isolated by the method is captured using a sequence-variable target region set and an epigenetic target region set, wherein the sequence-variable target region set is captured with a greater capture yield than the epigenetic target region set. In some embodiments, captured cfDNA of the sequence-variable target region set is sequenced to a greater depth of sequencing than captured cfDNA of the epigenetic target region set.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Andrew KENNEDY, Ariel JAIMOVICH, Matthew SCHULTZ, William J.

Patent number: 11564572Abstract: A system and associated methods for round-the-clock monitoring of an animal's health status includes an animal harness that is worn by the animal, and one or both of a mobile device and a remote server. The animal harness includes a plurality of sensors for collecting health measurements of the animal. The animal harness also includes a transceiver that communicates the heath measurements to one or both of the mobile device and the remote server, where a user may view the health measurements. Firmware in the animal harness, an application running in the mobile device, and software in the remote server processes and corrects the health measurements to generate a health status of the animal and notifications are generated when the animal's health is not within a safe range defined by the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2019Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: VetMeasure, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Daniel Maher, Joel Adrian Moritz, Jr., Dennis Matthew Schultz, Ian Adkins Huber, Thomas Grant Morrison

Patent number: 11457614Abstract: A system and associated methods use an animal harness attached to an animal to improve security at a location (e.g., a home, office, warehouse, etc.). The animal harness collects health status data of the animal, and the health status data is processed using one or more algorithms that detect changes in one or more of excitement, agitation, stress, and/or anxiety in the animal. These changes are interpreted, using a behavioral model of the animal, to determine whether the animal is witnessing a security event at the location, and when the health status data indicates the security event, the system may generate an alert. The behavioral model may be updated over time to improve performance of the algorithms to detect security events.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: VetMeasure, Inc.Inventors: Kevin D.

Publication number: 20120012421Abstract: A safety harness and quick connecting lifting sling used by people such as commercial divers that are required to wear some type of helmet or head gear (such as a diving helmet or full face mask) while being lifted wearing the safety harness. The harness is designed with multiple attachment points that are used to quickly connect the lifting sling for lifting the diver in or out of the water. The lifting sling has been specifically designed with one or more net structures that are used to stabilize the head area and support the weight of the head gear (diving helmet or mask) when the diver is lifted to help prevent neck fatigue and/or injuries to the diver, even if the person is unconscious.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2011Publication date: January 19, 2012Inventors: William Bevly Morgan, Connie Lyn Morgan, Trent Matthew Schultz, Mike Von Alvensleben

Patent number: 7857003Abstract: A selectable detent assembly that has a housing with a plurality of passageways. Within the housing is a selector spool that is disposed within a selector passageway and is rotatable to provide a plurality of rotational positions including a no detent position, a kick down position, and a continuous detent position. A pilot check valve is disposed within the housing and provides a fluid flow path from a pilot passageway to the selector passageway and a detent passageway. A detent arming piston is disposed within the detent passageway and is connected to a directional control valve spool. Thus, depending on the rotational position of the selector spool, the selector spool can either provide a continuous flow path through the selector passageway to a tank, a flow path that is controlled by the axial position of the selector spool or prevent flow to the tank in order to operate the detent arming piston.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2008Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Sauder-Danfoss Inc.Inventors: Ronald D. Groen, Matthew Schultz, Gary P. Pittman, Craig A. Wilson

Patent number: 7798142Abstract: A tubular body is operatively coupled to an oral nasal mask and provided with lateral apertures adapted for fluid flow. A flexible valve is mounted onto one end of the tubular body and adapted to seal the lateral apertures under normal operation conditions and expose the lateral apertures for fluid flow during emergency operation conditions. The sealed lateral apertures keep exhaust gases from escaping the oral nasal mask and contaminating the interior of the diving equipment during normal operation conditions. The exposed lateral apertures allow air from an alternate source to reach the mouth and nose of a user covered by the oral nasal mask during emergency operation conditions. The exposed lateral apertures allow excess water to be removed from inside the diving equipment. The valve system may be implemented as an integrated regulator mount nut/valve system.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2006Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Kirby Morgan Dive Systems, Inc.Inventors: William Bevly Morgan, Connie Lyn Morgan, Trent Matthew Schultz
