Patent number: 11645702Abstract: In some embodiments, an app provides a geolocation-limited marketplace limited to a pre-defined period of time. The geolocation-limited marketplace is accessible only by the users in a predefined geographical area. Typically, the predefined geographical area is limited to an area small enough for a user to walk from one end to the other in a short period of time. The pre-defined period of time is of some limited length of time that may occur at a pre-defined interval. In some instances, the period of time is one hour.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2021Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: EBAY INC.Inventors: Muhammad Anzar Afaq, Emily Zhang, Ran Chen, Frederik van Voorden

Patent number: 7998700Abstract: Staining mixtures comprising viable spermatozoa, a composition which regulates oxidation/reduction reactions intracellularly or extracellularly, and a DNA selective dye are disclosed. The cells contained in such suspensions tend to have a greater capacity for enduring the various process steps typically associated with the sorting of sperm cells into gender enriched populations, thereby resulting in post-sort compositions with an increased number of viable or motile sperm. Processes for staining sperm cells comprising the formation of a staining mixture are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2005Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Inguran, LLCInventors: Cindy L. Ludwig, Jeffrey A. Graham, Kathleen S. Crowley, Muhammad Anzar

Patent number: 7335507Abstract: Sperm cells are stained according to processes that involve the combining of sperm cells with a fluorescent DNA selective dye at an elevated temperature in excess of about 40° C. The methods allow for a decreased staining time. The cells may thereafter be efficiently sorted according to common separation methods, including flow cytometry.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2004Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Assignee: Monsanto Technology LLCInventors: Muhammad Anzar, Cindy L.
