20110070381 | USE OF NITROGEN-BASED REDUCING COMPOUNDS IN BEAM-INDUCED PROCESSING - A system for beam-induced deposition or etching, in which a charged particle or laser beam can be directed to a work piece within a single vacuum chamber, either normally incident or at an angle. Simultaneously with beam illumination of the work piece, a deposition or etch precursor gas is co-injected or premixed with a purification compound and (optionally) a carrier gas prior to injection into the process chamber. The beam decomposes the deposition precursor gas to deposit a film only in areas illuminated by the beam, or decomposes the etch precursor gas to etch a film only in areas illuminated by the beam. Undesired impurities such as carbon in the deposited film are removed during film growth by interaction with adsorbed species on the work piece surface that are generated by interaction of the beam with adsorbed molecules of the film purification compound. Alternatively, the film purification compound can be used to inhibit oxidation of the material etched by the etch precursor gas.

20140065319 | Seed Layer Laser-Induced Deposition - A method of creating a layer of a target deposit-material, in a first target pattern, on a substrate surface. The substrate surface is placed in a vacuum and exposed to a first chemical vapor, having precursor molecules for a seed deposit-material, thereby forming a first substrate surface area that has adsorbed the precursor molecules. Then, a charged particle beam is applied to the first substrate surface area in a second target pattern, largely identical to the first target pattern thereby forming a seed layer in a third target pattern. The seed layer is exposed to a second chemical vapor, having target deposit-material precursor molecules, which are adsorbed onto the seed layer. Finally, a laser beam is applied to the seed layer and neighboring area, thereby forming a target deposit-material layer over and about the seed layer, where exposed to the laser beam. | 03-06-2014 |

20100129379 | STABILIZED ANTIBODY FORMULATIONS AND USES THEREOF - The present invention provides methods of optimizing certain stable liquid formulations of antibodies that immunospecifically bind to antigens of interest. Such formulations are suitable for parenteral administration to a subject, and exhibit increased stability, low to undetectable levels of aggregation, low to undetectable levels of antibody fragmentation/degradation, and very little to no loss of the biological activities of the antibodies, even during long periods of storage. The methods of the invention provide formulations that offer multiple advantages over formulations produced by non-optimized methods, including less stringent or more readily available transportation and storage conditions, less frequent dosing, and/or smaller dosage amounts in the therapeutic, prophylactic and diagnostic uses of such formulations. The invention further provides methods of identifying antibodies exhibiting certain phase behaviors such that the antibodies can be formulated by the methods of the invention. Also provided are prophylactic, therapeutic, and diagnostic uses of such antibody formulations. | 05-27-2010 |

20150323521 | METHOD OF HEMOGLOBIN-F DETERMINATION - The Inventors disclosed an inexpensive method of determining fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in red blood cells of individuals with sickle cell anemia undergoing hydroxyurea treatment. The method is based on the specific elution and measurement of sickle hemoglobin (HbS) from red blood cells, wherein the amount of HbF may be determined according to the formula: HbF=Total hemoglobin−HbS. The method may also be used to determine the amount of HbF in individuals without sickle cell anemia by the specific elution of adult or normal hemoglobin (HbA) from red blood cells whereby the amount HbF may be determined according to the formula: HbF=Total hemoglobin−HbA. The method will also determine levels of HbS or HbA in individuals with sickle cell and without sickle cell respectively. The methods have the advantage of being easy to practice in underdeveloped countries. | 11-12-2015 |
