Filed:

Jun 19, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/765240

Inventors:

Lynn Kozma - Sunol CA, US
David Douglas Swenson - Ogden UT, US

Assignee:

Cepheld - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

C12Q 1/68
C12P 19/34

US Classification:

435 612, 435 912

Abstract:

The present invention provides methods and kits for conducting multiplex nucleic acid amplification reactions by controlling target sequence replication times. In one aspect, such control is exerted by selecting different lengths of target polynucleotides for amplification. In another aspect, control is exerted by providing sequence-specific polymerase inhibitors, such as specific blocking oligonucleotides. In accordance with the invention, multiple target polynucleotides can be sequentially amplified in an amplification reaction conducted in different stages, wherein amplification of sequences with longer replication times is permitted in one stage but precluded in other stages by modifying polymerase extension times in the course of the reaction.

US Classification:

709203, 709225, 709220

Abstract:

An integrated security system is described that integrates broadband and mobile access and control with conventional security systems and premise devices to provide a tri-mode security network (broadband, cellular/GSM, POTS access) that enables users to remotely stay connected to their premises. The integrated security system, while delivering remote premise monitoring and control functionality to conventional monitored premise protection, complements existing premise protection equipment. The integrated security system integrates into the premise network and couples wirelessly with the conventional security panel, enabling broadband access to premise security systems. Automation devices (cameras, lamp modules, thermostats, etc.) can be added, enabling users to remotely see live video and/or pictures and control home devices via their personal web portal or webpage, mobile phone, and/or other remote client device. Users can also receive notifications via email or text message when happenings occur, or do not occur, in their home.

US Classification:

709204

Abstract:

Embodiments provide a database that includes family models. Each family model includes family data that is aggregated data of members of a family. The family data includes for each family member data of at least one of name, age, gender, education, interests, and memberships. Each family model comprises information that defines relationships between other families based on the family data. A platform includes a processor networked to the database and a social application executing on the processor. The platform, in response to a request to create the family model, collects the family data and generates the family model to include the family data. The platform enables the families to manage and interact using a collection of group types.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for a security network integrating security system and network devices are disclosed. A system may comprise a gateway and first and second security panels, each located at a premises. The first and second security panels may be connected, via respective first and second wireless communication protocols, to respective first and second security system components. The first and second security panels may receive respective first and second security data from the respective first and second security system components. The gateway may be configured to receive, via the first and second wireless communication protocols, the respective first and second security data. The gateway may be configured to transmit at least one of the first security data and the second security data to a security server located external to the premises.

Abstract:

A security system is described for managing a premises. The security system comprises security system components and a first controller. A takeover component receives security data of the security system from the first controller. The security data is used to configure a second controller to communicate with the security system. The second controller communicates with the security system components and replaces the first controller in management of the security system.

C12Q 1/68

Abstract:

A method includes conveying a detection solution containing a target amplicon into a detection module of a molecular diagnostic test device. The detection module includes a detection surface including a series of capture probes to which a first portion of the target amplicon is bound when the detection solution is conveyed. A first reagent formulated to produce a visible signal indicating a presence of the target amplicon is then conveyed into the detection module. The first reagent is bound to a second portion of the target amplicon when the first reagent is conveyed. A second reagent is conveyed into the detection module. The second reagent includes a precipitating substrate formulated to catalyze the production of the visible signal by producing an insoluble colored product when the second reagent is in contact with the first reagent. The method includes viewing the visible signal via a transparent portion of the detection module.
