| 20120122704 | Differential multiplexing with pattern recognition - This novel form of multiplexing allows the user to probe for multiple targets and simultaneously identify a specific target. An example of solutions provided here comprises: providing one or more assay mixes for a number of targets (the number of assay mixes is less than the number of targets); providing a number of reference patterns (each of the reference patterns is associated with one of the targets); contacting each of a number of aliquots with one of the assay mixes; generating a result pattern, based on positive or negative results; and selecting the reference pattern most similar to the result pattern, to thereby detect the target. Solutions provided here, which we term differential multiplexing with pattern recognition, may involve molecular or immunological techniques to identify one of many indicators of drug use, illness, disease, or medical condition. For example, we provide a simple method for identifying targets using combinations of real-time PCR reagent mixes and only one reporter. This is an effective and inexpensive method that can be used to identify targets with minimal reagents and supplies. | 05-17-2012 |

| 20100282267 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR FLAVORING SMOKELESS TOBACCO - An encapsulated flavorant or artificial sweetener for use with smokeless tobacco and related products. The encapsulated flavorant or artificial sweetener comprises a core encapsulated with a lipid-based coating that provides stability when in contact with tobacco, yet releases flavor over time when the product is used. The core comprises a carrier, such as silica, tobacco, beet fiber, citrus fiber, artificial sweetener, or the like, coated or loaded with a flavorant. Flavor loading may be in the range of approximately 10% to 60%, by weight. Flavorants include, but are not limited to, methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen), cinnamon (e.g., cinnamon oil), peppermint (e.g., peppermint oil), and spearmint (oil of spearmint). | 11-11-2010 |
