20080233107SELECTIVE DELIVERY OF MOLECULES INTO CELLS OR MARKING OF CELLS IN DISEASED TISSUE REGIONS USING ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE TRANSMEMBRANE PEPTIDE - A polypeptide with a predominantly hydrophobic sequence long enough to span a membrane lipid bilayer as a transmembrane helix (TM) and comprising one or more dissociable groups inserts across a membrane spontaneously in a pH-dependant fashion placing one terminus inside cell. The polypeptide conjugated with various functional moieties delivers and accumulates them at cell membrane with low extracellular pH. The functional moiety conjugated with polypeptide terminus placed inside cell are translocated through the cell membrane in cytosol. The peptide and its variants or non-peptide analogs can be used to deliver therapeutic, prophylactic, diagnostic, imaging, gene regulation, cell regulation, or immunologic agents to or inside of cells in vitro or in vivo in tissue at low extracellular pH. The claimed method provides a new approach for diagnostic and treatment diseases with naturally occurred (or artificially created) low pH extracellular environment such as tumors, infarction, stroke, atherosclerosis, inflammation, infection, or trauma. The method allows to translocate cell impermeable molecules (peptides, toxins, drugs, inhibitors, nucleic acids, peptide nucleic acids, imaging probes) into cells at low pH. The method allows to attach to the cell surface a variety of functional moieties and particles including peptides, polysaccharides, virus, antigens, liposomes and nanoparticles made of any materials.09-25-2008

20110266643Solid state neutron detector - A low-cost device for the detection of thermal neutrons. Thin layers of a material chosen for high absorption of neutrons with a corresponding release of ionizing particles are stacked in a multi-layer structure interleaved with thin layers of hydrogenated amorphous silicon PIN diodes. Some of the neutrons passing into the stack are absorbed in the neutron absorbing material producing neutron reactions with the release of high energy ionizing particles. These high-energy ionizing particles pass out of the neutron absorbing layers into the PIN diode layers creating electron-hole pairs in the intrinsic (I) layers of the diode layers; the electrons and holes are detected by the PIN diodes.11-03-2011
