Publication number: 20230273153Abstract: A protein transfer system includes at least one base configured to receive one or more consumable protein transfer stacks and at least one lid configured to cover the base. The lid(s) comprise(s) one or more electrodes for supplying current to the one or more consumable protein transfer stacks. The protein transfer system further includes at least one voltage source configured to supply the current to the one or more consumable protein transfer stacks, one or more processors, and one or more hardware storage devices storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to configure the protein transfer system to control operation of the one or more voltage sources.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Chee Woei CHONG, Hwee Siong KUAH, Mio Xiu Lu LING, Kian Soon WONG, Jun Yao LIM, Jia Ni Beatrice LIM, Li Yong ONG, Xin Jie Jeryl CHENG, Kok Shyong CHONG, Zeqi TAN, Kguan Tyng LIM, Wei Fuh TEO, Quoc Cuong DINH, Tong BAO, Beng Heng LIM, Paul HANEY, Brian STEER, Michael THACKER, Boguslawa DWORECKI, Kelli FEATHER-HENIGAN, Xin MATHERS, Shahar SCHLEZINGER, Ronen BENARIEH

Patent number: 11411885Abstract: A user can set or modify operational parameters of a data volume stored on a network-accessible storage device in a data center. For example, the user may be provided access to a data volume and may request a modification to the operational parameters of the data volume. Instead of modifying the existing data volume, the data center can provision a new data volume and migrate data stored on the existing data volume to the new data volume. While the data migration takes place, the existing data volume may block input/output (I/O) requests and the new data volume may handle such requests instead. Once the data migration is complete, the data center may deallocate the data blocks of the existing data volume such that the data blocks can be reused by other data volumes.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2019Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Pieter Kristian Brouwer, Marc Stephen Olson, Nachiappan Arumugam, Michael Thacker, Vijay Prasanth Rajavenkateswaran, Arpit Tripathi, Danny Wei
