  • Patent number: 12292446
    Abstract: Kits and methods of using the kits for analyzing macromolecules, including peptides, polypeptides, and proteins, employing nucleic acid encoding are disclosed. The sample analysis kits employ nucleic acid encoding and/or nucleic acid recording of a molecular interaction and/or reaction, such as recognition events (e.g., between an antigen and an antibody, between a modified terminal amino acid residue, or between a small molecule or peptide therapeutic and a target, etc.). Additional barcoding reagents, such as those for cycle-specific barcoding (e.g., “clocking”), compartment barcoding, combinatorial barcoding, spatial barcoding, or any combination thereof, may be included in the kits. The sample may comprise macromolecules, including peptides, polypeptides, and proteins, and the recording may generate molecular interaction and/or reaction information, and/or polypeptide sequence information.

  • Patent number: 12258157
    Abstract: A method of forming a multipack of a plurality of containers includes a label on each container of the plurality of containers. The label at least partially surrounds a portion of each container of the plurality of containers. The method includes assembling the plurality of container into a multipack, heating an area of the multipack that includes the label, and forming an adhesive bond on the heated area of the label on each container. Each container is secured to at least one other container by the adhesive bond.

  • Patent number: 12222943
    Abstract: A method performed by a data system includes automatically learning relationship(s) among datasets based on one or more of a user query or an observation of a data flow through the data system. The method further includes generating an optimized data structure based on the learned relationships among the datasets. The data system then modifies a query plan to obtain query results that satisfy a query by reading the optimized data structure in lieu of reading the datasets.

  • Publication number: 20240421578
    Abstract: A retractable cable assembly in use with an electrical charger, power adapter, or other power supply. A cable wound on a spool disposed within a housing may be extracted by manually pulling on the cable or pressing of a release switch until the desired length of the cable is drawn. As the cable is drawn an engaged locking mechanism is used to keep the cable in place during and after extraction of the cable until which time retraction of the cable is desired. A retraction actuator disengages the locking mechanism, thereby freeing the cable and immediately retracting the cable within the housing.
