20140303012 | EXTRACTION AND DETECTION OF PATHOGENS USING CARBOHYDRATE-FUNCTIONALIZED BIOSENSORS - The disclosure relates to the extraction and detection of pathogens using carbohydrate-functionalized biosensors. Immobilized carbohydrate moieties on the biosensor provide a means for non-specific binding of a plurality of target analytes. When a sample containing the target analyte is applied or otherwise transported to the biosensor detection surface, non-specific binding interactions between the carbohydrate moiety and the analyte immobilize/retain the analyte at the detection surface. The carbohydrate moiety is a stable binding pair member that allows on-sensor rinsing of a sample to enhance detection of an analyte in the sample. Specific analyte identification can be achieved with an analyte probe having a detection moiety and a binding pair member specific to the target analyte of interest. | 10-09-2014 |
20110245880 | SPINAL FIXATOR AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF - There is provided an explantable system having at least one pedicle screw, and a fixation plate. The system is a base plate including at least one aperture extending through the base plate screw retaining means sized to fit within the aperture for maintaining screw means therein. The system is designed to be removed after a predetermined period of time. | 10-06-2011 |
20110165641 | Synthesis of 1,2,4-Butanetriol Enantiomers from Carbohydrates - A bioengineered synthesis scheme for the production of L-1,2,4-butanetriol, D-1,2,4-butanetriol and racemic mixtures thereof from a carbon source is provided. Methods of producing L-1,2,4-butanetriol, D-1,2,4-butanetriol and racemic mixtures thereof are also provided. Methods are also provided for converting D-1,2,4-butanetriol and L-1,2,4,-butanetriol to D,L-1,2,4-butanetriol trinitrate. | 07-07-2011 |
20090190492 | Header Estimation To Improve Multimedia Quality Over Wireless Networks - A method is provided for estimating the header of a data packet in a wireless communication system. The method includes: maintaining a list of data packets received without an error at a receiver; receiving at the receiver a corrupt data packet having errors in its header; computing a likelihood score for the header of the corrupt data packet in relation to each entry in the list of data packets; and selecting an entry having the highest likelihood score as an estimated header for the corrupt data packet. | 07-30-2009 |
