Patents by Inventor Stephen Benz

Stephen Benz 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).

  • Patent number: 11785004
    Abstract: Various devices, systems, structures and methods are disclosed related to securely authorizing a transaction by synchronizing digital genomic data with associated synthetic genomic variants. An embodiment of the present invention utilizes digital genomic data associated with an entity, such as a person, who may utilize a genome-based security device to complete a transaction. In one embodiment, a person may use a genome-based security device to communicate with an external device over a wireless or other communication interface, synchronize digital genomic data and an associated synthetic variant received from the external device with digital genomic data and associated synthetic variant stored on the genome-based security device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10984890
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for generating synthetic genomic datasets and validating bioinformatic pipelines for genomic analysis are disclosed. In preferred embodiments, synthetic maternal and paternal datasets with known variants are used with matched normal synthetic datasets to validate various bioinformatic pipelines. Bioinformatic pipelines are evaluated using the synthetic datasets to assess design changes and improvements. Accuracy, PPV, specificity, sensitivity, reproducibility, and limit of detection of the pipelines in calling variants in synthetic datasets is reported.
