20080274907FLUOROGENIC PH SENSITIVE DYES AND THEIR METHOD OF USE - A new class of pH sensitive fluorescent dyes and assays relating thereto are described. The dyes and assays are particularly suited for biological applications including phagocytosis and monitoring intracellular processes. The pH sensitive fluorescent dyes of the present invention include compounds of Formula I:11-06-2008
20100279314COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR MEASURING THALLIUM INFLUX AND EFFLUX - The present invention relates to methods for detecting the activity of an ion channel in a cell. The methods comprise providing a loading buffer solution to a cell that has an ion channel. The loading buffer comprises at least one thallium indicator (e.g., an environmentally sensitive, luminescent dye) and a physiological concentration of chloride ions. The methods further comprise providing a stimulus buffer to the cell, wherein the stimulus buffer comprises thallium (e.g., thallium ions). Providing the stimulus buffer causes thallium influx into the cell through the ion channel. After providing the stimulus buffer, the luminescence (e.g., fluorescence) of the dye in the cell is detected. The luminescence of the dye can change in the presence or absence of thallium. The methods may be used to measure influx or efflux of thallium through an ion channel.11-04-2010

20080220786Methods and Apparatus for Adaptively Selecting a Channel - A system assesses channel conditions for a plurality of channels. The system maintains a history of channel information for the plurality of channels. The system enables communications on a channel from the plurality of channels, based on the channel conditions, and the history of channel information for the plurality of channels. The system provides an operator with at least one of channel conditions, and the history of channel information.09-11-2008
20080227462Methods and Apparatus for Locating Access Device - A system obtains a plurality of locations respectively associated with a plurality of mobile devices that are in communication with the stationary access device. For each of the plurality of mobile devices, the system obtains a relative distance metric associated with that mobile device. Based on the plurality of locations and the relative distance metric, the computes a relative location of the stationary access device.09-18-2008
20090003219Monitoring Performance Metrics Associated With a Wireless Network - An access point device operating within a wireless local area network (WLAN) includes a network interface operable to facilitate communication with a network operator over an IP network. The network operator is located outside of a range of the WLAN. The access point device also includes a wireless network interface operable to facilitate communication between the access point device and a user device. The access point device further includes a processor operable to gather a first performance metric associated with the access point device and receive a second performance metric gathered by the user device in response to an instruction from the access point device to gather the second performance metric. The processor may facilitate transmission of the first and second performance metrics over the IP network to the network operator.01-01-2009
