US Patent Issued to Western Digital Technologies on Nov. 3 for "Low noise amplifiers with feedback for nanopore applications" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,782,311, issued on Nov. 3, was assigned to Western Digital Technologies Inc. (San Jose, Calif.).

"Low noise amplifiers with feedback for nanopore applications" was invented by Daniel Bedau (San Jose, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods that can improve the SNR of nanopore measurements by mitigating the effect of parasitic capacitance between the sense electrode and the counter electrode. In some embodiments, a feedback circuit is used to inject a charge into the sense electrode to at least partially cancel the parasitic capacitance between the sense electrode and the counter electrode. ...
