| 20110062320 | Methods for direct biomolecule identification by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry - The present invention relates to the use of post source decay (PSD) or collision induced dissociation (CID) direct tissue (DT) MALDI-TOF or DT-MALDI-TOF-TOF mass spectrographic identification of biological molecules in a tissue or cellular sample without the need for further protein extraction. This method provides for studying cells or tissues by direct tissue MALDI (DT-MALDI), thereby substituting in situ protein release for further protein extraction. Mass/intensity data was processed with Mascot© software interrogation of the NCBI database. These results are proof of principle that DT-MALDI, combined with bioinformatics, can directly identify proteins in cells and tissues from their mass spectra. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20100168586 | Optical imaging or spectroscopy systems and methods - Optical imaging or spectroscopy described can use laminar optical tomography (LOT), diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), or the like. An incident beam is scanned across a target. An orthogonal or oblique optical response can be obtained, such as concurrently at different distances from the incident beam. The optical response from multiple incident wavelengths can be concurrently obtained by dispersing the response wavelengths in a direction orthogonal to the response distances from the incident beam. Temporal correlation can be measured, from which flow and other parameters can be computed. An optical conduit can enable endoscopic or laparoscopic imaging or spectroscopy of internal target locations. An articulating arm can communicate the light for performing the LOT, DCS, or the like.

| 20120034105 | Linear peristaltic pump - An improved technique for delivering a fluid to an outlet from a storage container takes the form of a linear peristaltic pump which enables the use of two elements: a single bearing and a valve. The single bearing provides enough pressure to a flexible tube in which the fluid moves to close the tube off at a single location. The valve controls the fluid flow out of the flexible tube at the egress point in conjunction with the bearing and is attached to the flexible tube at a single location. In this manner, when the bearing is engaged with the flexible tube, the bearing divides the flexible tube into two subvolumes, one of which contains fluid to be moved toward the egress point at the far end of the flexible tube and the other creating suction for intake of fluid immediately behind the bearing. A bearing controller moves the bearing along the surface of the flexible tube when so engaged; in doing so, the bearing moves the fluid. | 02-09-2012 |
