20140065628 | Methods and Devices for Multi-Color, Out-of-Phase Detection in Electrophoresis - The disclosure provides methods and devices for separating and detecting nucleic acid fragments labeled with a plurality of spectrally resolvable dyes using a single light source or multiple light sources. Use of a greater number of light sources increases the number of spectrally resolvable dyes that can be interrogated. Labeling fragments with a greater number of spectrally resolvable dyes permits more overlapping of fragments with differentiation of the fragments, and thus separation can be conducted on a smaller range of fragment sizes/lengths. To improve the detection sensitivity of a detection system employing multiple light sources, light emitted by the light sources can be spatially separated from one another and/or the intensity of each of the light sources can be modulated. Each of the one or more light sources can be, e.g., a laser or a light-emitting diode. The methods and devices of the disclosure are useful for performing genetic analysis, e.g., analysis of a plurality of STR markers utilized in a forensic database (e.g., CODIS) to identify humans. | 03-06-2014 |

20150079943 | RESTRICTING FUNCTIONALITY OF PROTECTED DEVICES - Systems, methods and interfaces are disclosed for restricting functionality of protected mobile communication devices. Protected mobile communication devices may generally include mobile communication devices that do not allow applications to directly restrict the mobile communication device's functionalities, such as call reception or access to a standard user interface. Specifically, a mobile application can monitor the context of the mobile communication device to determine whether the device is in one of three states: inactive; active and locked; or active and under the application's control. When the device enters the active and locked state, the mobile application can ensure that unlocking the device places the device under the application's control. Further, when the device is under the application's control, the mobile application can ensure that leaving the application's control places the device in a locked state. The device can therefore be restricted to functionality provided under these three states. | 03-19-2015 |

20140248865 | MOBILE DEVICE MANAGEMENT - Aspects of the present disclosure correspond to the utilization of criteria for distinguishing between temporary changes to mobile communication device movement state in determining whether a mobile communication device context has changed. A mobile communication device can be configured to manage one or more aspects of functionality of the mobile communication device based on a mobile communication device context. At some point, the mobile communication device can determine a transition to a substantially stationary state. Rather than immediately transitioning the mobile communication device context, the mobile communication device can define a period of time in which additional changes to the mobile communication device movement state can be detected. Accordingly, if the mobile communication device movement state transitions again to a non-stationary movement state within the guard period, the mobile communication device context remains in the non-stationary movement state and never transitions. | 09-04-2014 |
