20120222970 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR LONG-TERM INTRACELLULAR ACCESS - Nanoscale probes for forming stable, non-destructive seals with cell membranes. The probes, systems including these probes, and methods of fabricating and using the probes described herein may be used to sense from, stimulate, modify, or otherwise effect individual cells or groups of cells. In particular, described herein are nanoscale cellular probes that may be used to span the lipid membrane of a cell to provide stable and long lasting access to the internal cellular structures. Thus, the probes described herein may be used as part of a system, method or device that would benefit from stable, non-destructive access across a cell membrane. In some variations the nanoscale probe devices or systems described herein may be used as part of a drug screening procedure. | 09-06-2012 |
20140353172 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR LONG-TERM INTRACELLULAR ACCESS - Nanoscale probes for forming stable, non-destructive seals with cell membranes. The probes, systems including these probes, and methods of fabricating and using the probes described herein may be used to sense from, stimulate, modify, or otherwise effect individual cells or groups of cells. In particular, described herein are nanoscale cellular probes that may be used to fuse with, and in some variations span, the lipid membrane of a cell to provide stable and long lasting contact to the cell. Thus, the probes described herein may be used as part of a system, method or device that would benefit from stable, non-destructive access to and across a cell membrane. In some variations the nanoscale probe devices or systems described herein may be used as part of a drug screening procedure. | 12-04-2014 |

20150066444 | USER INTERFACE AND SOFTWARE TOOL FOR ARCHITECTURAL PROCESSES - A novel software architectural design tool allows users to perform stacking, block editing, and scaling in an efficient and intuitive manner. The user selects a resource from a resource pool, such as number of employees and square footage organized by department, displayed on a monitor. A portion of the resources are allocated to a stacking diagram using a visually intuitive interface. The stacking diagram includes bar graphs, each one representing, for example, a floor in a building. The resource pool and the stacking diagram are modified graphically and in real time. For block editing, the user bifurcates an edge of the object by selecting an edit point. In a second step, the user can edit the edge utilizing the edit point. Block editing becomes an efficient and visually intuitive process which is also in line with thought processes inherent in architectural training. | 03-05-2015 |
