Patent number: 10579470Abstract: Various embodiments provide for a memory controller capable of detecting an error on addressing (address error or address fault) of memory commands for a memory device implementing an inline storage configuration of primary data with associated error checking data. According to some embodiments, the memory controller indicates that an address error of a particular memory command has occurred (or likely occurred) by detecting when a plurality of data errors is produced by a plurality of error checks performed on primary data resulting from the particular memory command. Various embodiments described herein allow both single-bit error detection and correction, and address protection to exist in a memory solution implementing an inline error checking data storage configuration, such as inline ECC storage configuration.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Inventors: John M.

Patent number: 7799527Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for evaluating synthetic reactions such as polymer synthesis reactions. Evaluation of a synthetic reaction product can be based on a quantitative measure of synthesis such as coupling efficiency or yield, and various parameters determined from a separation record obtained for the synthetic reaction product. The invention further provides methods for evaluating a separation method based on various parameters determined from a separation record. The invention can be used to select an appropriate treatment for a synthetic reaction product such as a separation treatment or treatments related to further processing for the desired product. The methods are particularly useful for automated selection of treatments for synthetic reaction products.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2005Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Illumina, Inc.Inventors: Nels A. Olson, Bahram Ghaffarzadeh Kermani, Hongji Ren, Theo Kotseroglou

Publication number: 20050161329Abstract: Multi-capillary systems for high-throughput electrophoretic separation and detection of biomolecules are disclosed. One embodiment of the invention uses galactomannans as a size-sieving matrix for multi-channel electrophoretic separations of biomolecules. Multi-color detection for the simultaneous analysis of controls and standards in the same channels as the samples, and endogenous fluorescence detection are also disclosed. Another embodiment of the invention is a two dimensional system for separation of complex samples, using multiplexed capillary electrophoresis system as the second dimension, with a fraction collection step connecting the two separation steps. The systems allow for separations to be accomplished with a highly parallel manner, or in a two-dimensional format.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2003Publication date: July 28, 2005Inventors: Katariina Hutterer, Nels Olson, Stevan Jovanovich, Thomas Armstrong, Dean Burgi, Vladislav Dolnik

Patent number: 5576424Abstract: The subject invention provides substrates useful for analyzing the metabolic activity in cells by improving the retention of a detectable reporter molecule only in intact cells where a particular enzyme is present. In particular, improved retention results from a two part process involving conjugation of haloalkyl-substituted derivatives of a reporter molecule with intracellular cysteine-containing peptides while unblocking the reporter molecule. The substrates have the formXR-SPACER-REPORTER-BLOCKwherein -BLOCK is a group selected to be removable by action of a specific analyte, to give REPORTER spectral properties different from those of the substrate,-REPORTER- is a molecule that, when no longer bound to BLOCK by a BLOCK-REPORTER bond, has spectral properties different from those of the substrate,-SPACER- is a covalent linkage, andXR- is a haloalkyl moiety that can covalently react with an intracellular thiol (Z-S-H) to form a thioether conjugate (Z-S-R-).Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1994Date of Patent: November 19, 1996Assignee: Molecular Probes, Inc.Inventors: Fei Mao, Ram Sabnis, John Naleway, Nels Olson, Richard P.
