| 20090204372 | DUAL CIRCULARLY POLARIZED ANTENNA - An antenna includes a waveguide having an aperture at a first end and a conducting component at a second end, the conducting component shorting the waveguide and a first set of two orthogonal dipoles, fed in quadrature, the orthogonal dipoles located near the aperture of the waveguide operating close to its dominant mode cut off frequency. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090238426 | System and Methods for Identifying an Object within a Complex Environment - A signal processing technique includes extracting object features, an object response classification, and a reconstruction of the object estimate. In selected embodiments, an optional step that improves the estimate of the object response is included in the signal processing technique. In one implementation of the signal processing technique, reflections from the surrounding environment are removed from the response of a target object to permit the identification, localization, and imaging of the target. In select implementations, the technique can be used to image tumors located within breast tissue. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100007568 | Antenna with Balun - A balun, generally including a substrate, a microstrip conductor, and a parallel strip conductor is described, where a characteristic impedance of the balun is substantially constant at each cross-sectional point along a length of the balun. A transverse electromagnetic horn antenna can transmit and receive ultra-wide band pulses, and includes a first metal conductor and a second metal conductor, where a characteristic impedance of the first and second conductor varies over a length of the antenna in a controlled means. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100113921 | Systems and Methods for Object Surface Estimation - Systems and methods are provided that provide for surface estimation of an object. In particular, the surface estimation can be determined with little or no a priori information regarding the position or topography of the object within a given volume. In select embodiments, the systems and methods can be used for microwave imaging, and particularly for estimating breast surfaces during the imaging process. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20100145190 | Traveling-Wave Antenna - Embodiments of endfire aperture-based traveling-wave antennas are described. For example, an embodiment, including a Vivaldi antenna, may have a director incorporated into the aperture region of the antenna to provide enhanced radiation directivity. The director may be a shaped dielectric that interacts with an electromagnetic field to reduce the divergence of the resultant beam as it exits the antenna. Additional dielectric substrate layers may be stacked on both sides of the antenna in order to balance the dielectric loading between the different conductors. The dielectric substrates may also eliminate contact between the antenna metallization and the lossy environment. Certain disclosed Vivaldi antennas may be used in tissue screening applications. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20090247455 | Isolation of Inhibitors of IRES-Mediated Translation - The present invention relates to a method for identifying or determining a compound that inhibits or reduces internal ribosome entry site (IRES) mediated translation. For example, the present invention provides a method for determining a compound that inhibits IRES-mediated translation, said method comprising expressing in a cell a counter selectable marker operably under the control of an IRES. A candidate compound is then introduced into the cell or contacted with the cell and the cell maintained under conditions that select against a cell expressing the counter-selectable marker gene. Accordingly, a cell in which IRES-mediated translation of the counter-selectable reporter gene is selected, thereby identifying a compound that inhibits IRES-mediated translation. The present invention also provides compounds identified by the method. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20090011405 | Modulating Screening Thresholds for N-Hybrid Screening - The present invention provides improved N-hybrid assays. In particular, the present invention provides an improved reverse N-hybrid assay comprising modulating the amount of a substrate of a reporter gene and/or the amount of a reporter gene thereby enhancing cell death in the absence of a peptide inhibitor of a DNA-protein or protein-protein interaction and/or enhancing cell survival in the presence of a peptide inhibitor of a DNA-protein or protein-protein interaction. Furthermore, the present invention provides an improved forward N-hybrid assay comprising modulating the amount of a reporter gene thereby enhancing cell death in the absence of a heterologous peptide or protein capable of binding to the DNA or protein in a cell and enhancing cell survival in the presence of a heterologous peptide or protein capable of binding to the DNA or protein in a cell. | 01-08-2009 |
