| 20120106579 | Precise Broadband Frequency Modulated Laser - A method, apparatus and computer-readable storage medium are described for a tunable laser source that produces a desired frequency modulated optical waveform with a precision within 0.01 percent over a bandwidth greater than about 50 gigaHertz. An apparatus includes a tunable laser having one or more drive inputs for affecting an optical frequency of light output by the laser; and an optical detector. Multiple optical paths are configured to direct light output by the laser onto the optical detector. A laser controller is configured to provide to a drive input a loopback signal based on a measured or predetermined difference in optical dispersion among the plurality of optical paths and a detector signal output from the optical detector. In some embodiments, a ranging device includes the tunable laser source. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120003197 | BACILLUS ISOLATES AND METHODS OF THEIR USE TO PROTECT AGAINST PLANT PATHOGENS AND VIRUS TRANSMISSION - Methods of inducing systemic acquired resistance to infection in a plant are provided. The methods comprise applying a composition comprising a | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120002972 | Techniques for Single Sideband Suppressed Carrier (SSBSC) Optical Signals that Scale to Bandwidths over 20 Gigahertz - A method and apparatus includes an optical source for a single order single-sideband suppressed-carrier optical signal with a bandwidth that scales from over 1 gigaHertz to greater than 20 gigaHertz. In an example embodiment, an apparatus includes a stable laser source configured to output an optical carrier signal at a carrier frequency. The apparatus includes a radio frequency electrical source configured to output an electrical radio frequency signal with a radio frequency bandwidth less than one octave. The apparatus also includes an optical modulator configured to output an optical signal with the optical carrier signal modulated by the radio frequency signal in a plurality of orders of optical frequency sidebands. The apparatus further includes an optical filter configured to pass one single order optical frequency sideband of the optical signal. | 01-05-2012 |

| 20110135678 | TOLERIZING AGENTS - Described herein is the development of fusion proteins useful for inducing tolerance in a subject. In particular embodiments, the tolerizing agents are useful for influence autoimmune, inflammatory, and/or allergic reactions. Example tolerizing fusion proteins contain a targeting portion (which delivers the fusion protein) and a toleragen or allergen or other antigen to which tolerance is desired in a subject. In particular examples, it is demonstrated that a pσ1 fusion protein, when administered orally, facilitates systemic and mucosal tolerance. Also described is the nasal delivery of fusion proteins, for instance for restoring immunogenicity. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20100310474 | PROTEIN CAGES FOR THE DELIVERY OF MEDICAL IMAGING AND THERAPEUTIC AGENTS - The present invention is directed to novel compositions and methods utilizing delivery agents comprising protein cages, medical imaging agents and therapeutic agents. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20100036133 | NOVEL ZWITTERIONIC DYES FOR LABELING IN PROTEOMIC AND OTHER BIOLOGICAL ANALYSES - The invention relates to compositions and methods useful in the labeling and identification of proteins. The invention provides for highly soluble zwitterionic dye molecules where the dyes and associated side groups are non-titratable and maintain their net zwitterionic character over a broad pH range, for example, between pH 3 and 12. These dye molecules find utility in a variety of applications, including use in the field of proteomics. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100021391 | NOVEL NANOPARTICLES FOR BIOFILM TARGETING - The present invention is directed to novel compositions and methods utilizing nanoparticles comprising protein cages for delivery of imaging and antimicrobial agents to biofilm forming bacterial colonies. | 01-28-2010 |
