Patents by Inventor Mimune Inui

Mimune Inui has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Method for detecting nucleic acid in sample, method for designing probes, system for designing probes therefor
    Patent number: 8080372
    Abstract: Accurate detection of a target microorganism from a sample, which may contain a plurality of microorganisms, is intended. This can be realized by eliminating a possibility of cross-hybridization of a microorganism with other probes, which can accelerate the designing speed, detecting microorganisms one-by-one in the designed order, and absorbing all the existing microorganisms.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 7, 2008
    Date of Patent: December 20, 2011
    Assignee: Canon Kabushiki Kaisha
    Inventor: Mimune Inui
  • Base sequence for control probe and method of designing the same
    Patent number: 7923546
    Abstract: There are provided a sequence for a control probe having a sequence rarely forming a secondary structure and rarely hybridizing with an undesired target and a method of designing thereof. There is further provided a probe carrier employing a control probe designed by the designing method. To provide these, a palindromic sequence is selected based on a sequence of which frequency is low in a database for a predetermined base sequence and used as the sequence of the control probe.
