20130331353 | CELL-PERMEABLE VARIANTS OF TREHALOSE AND METHODS FOR THE PROTECTION OF LIVING CELLS - A method for synthesizing variants of Tre; novel Tre variants; and a method for introducing Tre in sufficient concentration into the intracellular environment suitable to store treated mammalian cells, treat an aggregation disease, and protect treated cells from oxygen radicals are disclosed. | 12-12-2013 |
20130136664 | CATALYST, CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF - A catalyst which remediates hydrocarbon fuel combustion exhaust, including a non-PGM containing aerogel which catalyzes the oxidation of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons and the reduction of nitrogen oxides present in the exhaust, a catalytic converter made therefrom, and a method for the production thereof is disclosed. | 05-30-2013 |
20110306145 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR FABRICATING AEROGELS AND AEROGEL MONOLITHS OBTAINED THEREBY - Method and devices for rapidly fabricating monolithic aerogels, including aerogels containing chemical sensing agents, are disclosed. The method involves providing a gel precursor solution or a pre-formed gel in a sealed vessel with the gel or gel precursor at least partially filling the internal volume of the vessel and the sealed vessel being positioned between opposed plates of a hot press; heating and applying a restraining force to the sealed vessel via the hot press plates (where the restraining force is sufficient to minimize substantial venting of the vessel); and then controllably releasing the applied restraining force under conditions effective to form the aerogel. A preferred device for practicing the method is in the form of a hot press having upper and lower press plates, and a mold positioned between the upper and lower plates. Doped aerogel monoliths and their use as chemical sensors are also described. | 12-15-2011 |
20080204458 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSFORMING DISPERSED DATA PATTERNS INTO MOVING OBJECTS - A motion-based method and system for rapidly identifying the presence of spatially dispersed or interwoven patterns in data and their deviation from a test model for the pattern includes transforming dispersed patterns into one concentrated moving objects, for which there is a characteristic, identifiable motion signature. The method may be used with data sets containing sharp peaks, such as frequency spectra, and other data sets. A roadmap of basic motion signatures is provided for reference, including multiple harmonic series, separation of odd and even harmonics, missing modes, sidebands and inharmonic patterns. The system and method may also be used with data stored in arrays and volumes. It remaps such data to show both high-resolution information and long range trends simultaneously for applications in nanoscale imaging. | 08-28-2008 |
