Rapid Indicator of Anthrax Infections
New High Expression Mammalian Promoter Expresses gene product
a levels many time greater than current promoters!
Adaptive Electric Field Control of Epileptic Seizures An
alternative method of intervention for seizures through the use of a biofeedback
technology analogous to a cardic pacemaker. . .
Computational Modeling and Simulation of Host:Pathogen
Interactions A
novel method for developing agent-based simulation systems for the modeling
and simulation of a systematic and analytical approach to a host:pathogen
interaction. The initial model is to detect anthrax. . .
Electrocapturing Pathogens from a Flow A novel method
of capturing of charged organisms, such as viruses within a device for
the purpose of imaging and detecting the organisms. The device is an easy
to assemble (and disassemble) cell that uses an electric field to concentrate
electrically charged organisms or biological macromolecules.
Gated Brain Imaging Gated brain imaging
is a clear improvement in the study and diagnosis of neurological and
sleeping disorders. This invention provides methods and devices for determining
brain phase. . .
Identification of Analytes on Array of Reporter
Droplets A new principle of
analyte identification that will aid in the detection and recognition of
toxic impurities in environmental samples. . .
Instant Microfluidic Cell A novel yet simply
designed microfluidic unit that can be used in a variety of capacities.
The microfluidic cell consists of two parts held together by external air
pressures, making it easy to assemble and disassemble the unit. . .
Method and Apparatus for Processing Data from a
Tomographic Imaging System Constitutes
a new method and apparatus capable of reducing the amount of radiation exposure
to a patient by using almost completely local data and allows for greatly
improved CT resolution. . .
Micro-Droplet Cell Culture Technique An
efficient hybrid process for cultivating cells for both prodaryotic and
eukaryotic organisms. Cells are cultivated in a plurality of individual
isolated micro-droplets in a liquid media either by batch or continuo us
flow. . .
SiRNAs with an Enhanced Specificity to the Target This invention provides
methods and systems for identifying unique polynucleotide sequences within
a larger polynucleotide sequence. The algorithm enables the rapid design
of SiRNAs with minimized off-target hybridization and are comprised of
shorter, truly unique overlapping sequences of 12-15 nucleotides, resulting
in greater targeting specificity. . .
Synthesis of Functionalized (gamma) y -Carboline
Derivatives Gamma- Carbolines
are involved in many biological processes and have been shown to possess
various medicinal activities similar to those of ß-carbolines. This
discovery of a 3-aminomethyl indole synthesis has allowed for the development
of a novel synthetic approach to the creation of a large selection of functionalized
y- carbolines that provides for the building of functionalized
y -carboline derivatives.
Virus-Based Detection in Microarray Sensors A
novel approach to increase the amount of signal per binding event by using
a harmless stable plant virus to carry multiple dye molecules, thus increasing
the signal per binding event. This invention is the first use of a viral
particle to enhance detection.
