| 20100074845 | ENHANCED SENSITIVITY CARBON NANOTUBES AS TARGETED PHOTOACOUSTIC MOLECULAR IMAGING AGENTS - The present disclosure provides contrast photoacoustic probes, and compositions comprising such probes, designed to non-invasively detect and monitor various disease states, or targets within a subject human or animal. The probes are designed to be optically excited in tissue, ultimately generating thermal energy, which is transformed into acoustic energy by the response of the aqueous environment in the subject to the thermal emissions. The acoustic energy (sound) can then be detected by suitably applied transducers and digitally transformed into images indicating the location of the probe in the subject. One aspect of the disclosure encompasses photoacoustic probes that comprise: a carbon nanotube and a plurality of dye molecules bound to the carbon nanotube. The probes may further comprise a targeting moiety for localizing the probe at the site of a specific target. Another aspect of the present disclosure encompasses methods of detecting a target in animal or human subject, comprising: delivering a photoacoustic probe to a subject, allowing the photoacoustic probe to selectively bind to a target of the subject; and illuminating the system with an optical energy absorbable by the photoacoustic probe to generate an acoustic signal; and detecting the acoustic signal, thereby detecting the target in the subject. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20100080541 | Process of creating and applying live tree fragrance and aroma for artificial christmas trees - A process of creating and applying live tree fragrance and aroma for artificial Christmas trees. This process utilizes an all natural organic fluid extracted from the conifer tree family. The conifer needle oil is heated to its vaporization point within the vapor dispenser to produce its true fragrance. Then it is gently fanned to disperse the fragrance and aroma around an artificial Christmas tree. | 04-01-2010 |

| 20090325210 | Counting Bacteria and Determining Their Susceptibility to Antibiotics - A method for detecting and counting particles suspended in fluids, such as bacteria suspended in urine, utilizing dynamic features of the suspended particles and employing light scattering measurements. The disclosed method is suitable for determining the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics. A cuvette for detecting bacteria in fluids, which is especially suited for the light scattering measurements, is provided. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100277734 | DETECTING AND COUNTING BACTERIA SUSPENDED IN BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS - System and method for detecting and counting bacteria suspended in a biological fluid by means of light scattering measurements is provided. In accordance with the method of the invention the level of signal to noise of the measured intensities of light scattered by a sample of the biological fluid is significantly enhanced for forwardly scattered light within a range of scattering angles which are smaller compared to a predefined maximal scattering angle. The system of the invention includes a cuvette adapted to contain a sample of the biological fluid whose sidewalls and windows are suitably constructed and arranged to significantly reduce the level of reflected light obscuring the scattering patterns measured within the range of scattering angles considered. | 11-04-2010 |
