Patent number: 11934641Abstract: User interface customization based on user navigational signals is described herein. A computer system causes a device to present first information associated with a first item in a first network page. The computer system receives first data indicating a first interaction with the first information and determines whether the first interaction corresponds to a first request for information about a set of items associated with the first item or to a second request for a removal of the presentation of the first information. If the first interaction corresponds to the first request, the computer system causes the device to present a second network page that shows second information associated with a second item of the set of items. If the first interaction corresponds to the second request, the computer system causes the device to remove the first information from being presented in the first network page.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dennis Ryan Stainken, Alexander Slutsker, Raman Bhatia, Sylvia Yang, Puneet Sharma, Peter Everett Zupke, Ksenia Zhizhimontova, Aparna Raman, Anton Pieter van der Stroom, Steven Ivie, Michaela Lea Rodwick

Patent number: 11422129Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making an assay device for conducting an assay to detect a concentration of an analyte in a sample fluid. The assay devices would typically have a substantially planar surface having a series of site specific immobilized calibration spot arrays containing pre-determined quantities of the analyte printed thereon. In addition, a series of site specific immobilized test spot arrays, including capture antibody for binding the analyte protein is printed on the assay device. The method involves first modifying the planar surface to provide hydrophobic binding sites, hydrophilic linking and covalent bonding sites. Then the method requires printing the series of site specific immobilized test spot arrays and the series of site specific immobilized calibration spot arrays on the substantially planar surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2005Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: SQI DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEMS INC.Inventors: Peter Lea, Thomas G.

Publication number: 20190204310Abstract: Described are methods for simultaneous detection and quantifying multiple target analytes, including immunoglobulin isotypes and sub-classes, single and multiple protein antibodies within a test sample contained in a single reaction vessel. Such methods use reaction wells as on a multi-well plate, each single well comprising microarrays of calibration spots, each having a predetermined quantity of a target analyte; and capture spots, each having multiple agent antibodies, including isotypes and subclasses that specifically bind the target analytes. The captured analytes and the calibration spots are detected with fluorescently labeled antibodies specific for each different target analyte. Calibration spots generate calibration curves for quantitative determinations of different target analytes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2018Publication date: July 4, 2019Inventor: Peter Lea
