Publication number: 20240409986Abstract: The present invention discloses a nucleic acid detection kit and a detection method based on photo-controlled CRISPR-Cas, wherein the kit comprises silent guide RNA and Cas protein; the silent guide RNA is formed by annealing hybridization of silent nucleotide and guide RNA; the guide RNA, designed according to a target nucleic acid sequence, includes two regions, i.e. a repetitive region and a spacer region; the silent nucleotide is completely complementarily paired with a the of the guide RNA, or is completely paired with a the of the guide RNA; the bases of the silent nucleotide are linked by PC linker; and the Cas protein is Cas12 protein or Cas13 protein. Although this method separates the nucleic acid amplification from the CRISPR-Cas detection in time, it can allow them to be completed in the same closed reaction tube, thereby avoiding the transfer process of uncapped reagent, ensuring that the detection is not affected by aerosol pollution while ensuring high detection sensitivity.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2022Publication date: December 12, 2024Inventors: Xiaoming ZHOU, Menglu HU

Patent number: 12058170Abstract: Techniques for code modification for detecting abnormal activity are described. Web code is obtained. Modified web code is generated by changing a particular programmatic element to a modified programmatic element throughout the web code. Instrumentation code is generated configured to monitor and report on one or more interactions with versions of the particular programmatic element. The instrumentation code is caused to be provided in association with the modified web code to the first client device in response to the first request from the first client device. Report data generated by the instrumentation code is received. The report data describes abnormal activity at the first client device, the abnormal activity comprising an interaction with a version of the particular programmatic element that does not exist in the modified web code. Based on the report, it is determined that the first client device is likely controlled by malware.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2022Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: Shape Security, Inc.Inventors: Justin D Call, Xiaoming Zhou, Xiaohan Huang, Subramanian Varadarajan, Roger S.

Publication number: 20240009473Abstract: The invention provides method, device, and system to commission medical devices using different wireless communication protocol or from different manufacturers to a network by introducing a pairing device and a guiding device. The commissioning process includes two steps, e.g., a pairing the medical device to the pairing device and a pairing between the pairing device and server of the network. By configuring a pairing device dynamically with the aid of a guiding device, the pairing device can receive broadcast messages from medical devices using different communication protocols and send the same to a remote server having a specific network address. Further, the guiding device is introduced not only to assist in the configuration of the pairing device, but also provide an opportunity to the pairing device to obtain a real-time feedback from the remote server through the guiding device during installation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2021Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventor: Xiaoming Zhou

Patent number: 11139066Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and tools for enhancing cognition in an individual. The methods involve presenting to the individual multiple sets of stimuli. Each set of the multiple set contains two or more stimuli and at least one set of the multiple sets contains a target stimulus.
