20090115996	DETECTING MICROORGANISMS IN BLOOD UTILIZING PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CHANGES IN BLOOD - An approach to detecting microorganisms in blood uses the changes of hemoglobin and the physical and chemical properties of blood to detect the presence of microorganisms in blood. Spectrophotometric measurements are taken several wavelengths across the UV-Vis-NIR portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, and a deconvolution is performed quantitatively to interpret distinct spectral characteristics of blood enabling the detection of microorganisms.	05-07-2009

20090103086	PORTABLE SAMPLE PREPARATION AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM FOR MICRON AND SUB-MICRON PARTICLE CHARACTERIZATION USING LIGHT SCATTERING AND ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY - There is provided a method and device for remote sampling, preparation and optical interrogation of a sample using light scattering and light absorption methods. The portable device is a filtration-based device that removes interfering background particle material from the sample matrix by segregating or filtering the chosen analyte from the sample solution or matrix while allowing the interfering background particles to be pumped out of the device. The segregated analyte is then suspended in a diluent for analysis. The device is capable of calculating an initial concentration of the analyte, as well as diluting the analyte such that reliable optical measurements can be made. Suitable analytes include cells, microorganisms, bioparticles, pathogens and diseases. Sample matrixes include biological fluids such as blood and urine, as well as environmental samples including waste water.	04-23-2009

20100029941	PREPARATION OF (R)-3-AMINOPIPERIDINE DIHYDROCHLORIDE - Described herein are methods for making chiral derivatives of 3-aminopiperidine, including the production of such derivatives in quantities exceeding 1 kilogram. The chiral 3-aminopiperidine derivatives include (R)-3-aminopiperidine derivatives which may be used to synthesize inhibitors of Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV. (R)-3-Aminopiperidine dihydrochloride is prepared by reducing (R)-3-aminopiperidin-2-one hydrochloride with lithium aluminum hydride. The preparation of (R)-3-aminopiperidin-2-one hydrochloride starting from (R)-methyl-2,5-diaminopentanoate dihydrochloride or (R)-2,5-diaminopentanoic acid hydrochloride is also described.	02-04-2010
