Patent number: 11932847Abstract: Disclosed is a method of fragmenting DNA comprising contacting a sample of target DNA with (a) a composition comprising an active transpososome, and (b) a composition comprising an inactive transpososome, under conditions suitable for transpososome activity, wherein a ratio of an amount of the inactive transpososome in the composition of (b) to an amount of the active transpososome in the composition of (a) determines the mean fragment size and a level of insertion bias.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2017Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: KAPA BIOSYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Martin Ranik, Eric Van der Walt, William Bourn, Jennifer Hsieh, Abre De Beer, Gerrida Uys, Paul McEwan

Patent number: 11318342Abstract: Improvements in a transportable stepper are disclosed. The mini stepper has steps that remain horizontal through the entire stroke. The mini stepper uses parallel connected arms to maintain flat steps so a user steps in a natural position and maintain a balanced posture. The stepper has a step height adjustment that links the two pedals. The travel or highest position for the foot pads is adjustable to change the resistance or work-out intensity for the user by limiting the vertical travel for the foot pads and links the foot pads to ensure when one footpad is being pushed downward, the opposing footpad is being elevated. The resistance pistons are surrounded by an insulation tube that minimizes skin contact to hot pistons. The mini stepper has a display that links to an application for tracking/displaying exercise related information.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Paradigm Health and WellnessInventor: Paul Hsieh

Patent number: 11298583Abstract: Improvements in a flywheel friction loading measurement system is disclosed. The measurement system includes combining a rotational system that alters friction on a flywheel combined with a variable resistor or potentiometer. The combination proves a measurable system that can determine the loading on a piece of exercise equipment. The potentiometer is calibrated to provide a repeatable and reliable measurement of the loading system that is placed on a flywheel. Detents can be included to provide finite loading positions. A calibration sequence can also be used to communicate the friction to a display and measurement system. The rotational system is with pulling a cable on a rotational axis or with wrapping a cable chain, belt or equivalent on or around a rotational axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Paradigm Health and WellnessInventor: Paul Hsieh

Patent number: 11077334Abstract: Improvements in a rower with articulating footpads. The footpads have first (raised) position that uncovers wheels that allow for easy transportation of the rowing machine from one location to another. In this position the footpads are prevented from dragging on the floor when the rowing machine is being transported. The second position of the footpads rotate over the structural stability frame member. This orientation provides two flat surfaces for the user to stand upon. The footpads have a rear lip to locate the back or heels of the user. A strap is pulled from a loading mechanism and is guided out of the loading system to allow the strap to be pulled out of the loading system from a variety of angles.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Inventor: Paul Hsieh

Patent number: 10653578Abstract: Improvements to an ankle holder for an inversion table. The ankle holders are formed of an elastomeric material that is molded onto a rigid backing. The elastomeric material is sufficient durometer to easily conform to the shape of ankles. The backing is secured to a pivoting structure. The ankle holder has a pre-formed shape that approximates the shape and contour of an ankle/heel/foot. The ankle holder can expand and move around the shape of the person to evenly distribute forces caused by inversion of the table. The ankle holders can include a plurality of bladders on the backing to provide structural support to the bladders that enables the bladders to be mounted and secured onto the inversion table. The distance between the gas cushions is adjustable to allow a user to place their ankles within the inversion table and customize the clamping forces.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2018Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Paradigm Health & Wellness, Inc.Inventor: Paul Hsieh

Patent number: 10413777Abstract: Improvements to a desk and exercise semi-recumbent bicycle is disclosed, the desk allows a person exercising while utilizing the desk with a computer, as a table or read a book. The desk has a 3-way adjustment relative to the seat for elevation of the desk, angle, sliding forward and backward of the desk or the proximity of the desk relative to the chair and or the pedals. The desk pivots to allow the desk to be easily tilted towards the user when they are studying and tilted away from the user when the user wants to exit the exercise bicycle. The dimension from the seat to the pedals is adjustable to accommodate these different desires. The amount of resistance can be adjusted to increase or decrease the difficulty to accommodate different levels of activity. A recording mechanism can count distance, elapsed time, calories or other information.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Paradigm Health and WellnessInventor: Paul Hsieh
