| 20110028676 | Molecular Actuators, and Methods of Use Thereof - The synthesis of thiophene based conducting polymer molecular actuators, exhibiting electrically triggered molecular conformational transitions is reported. Actuation is believed to be the result of conformational rearrangement of the polymer backbone at the molecular level, not simply ion intercalation in the bulk polymer chain upon electrochemical activation. Molecular actuation results from π-π stacking of thiophene oligomers upon oxidation, producing a reversible molecular displacement that leads to surprising material properties, such as electrically controllable porosity and large strains. The existence of active molecular conformational changes is supported by in situ electrochemical data. Single molecule techniques have been used to characterize the molecular actuators. | 02-03-2011 |

In selected embodiments, the difference between the reaction rates of two types of mediator at the electrode surfaces, in conjunction with other charge transfer reaction equilibria, determines the direction of the photocurrent in the device. In an exemplified embodiment, the magnitude of the photocurrent is proportional to the incident light intensity, and the current increases nonlinearly with an increase in the RC concentration in the medium. | 04-18-2013 |

| 20090037220 | Portable medical monitoring and diagnostic system - A patient care distribution and management system is provided. The system allows for the seamless roaming of a patient within a particular medical facility or between medical facilities.

| 20100179934 | KERNEL-BASED METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CLASSIFYING MATERIALS OR CHEMICALS AND FOR QUANTIFYING THE PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS OR CHEMICALS IN MIXTURES USING SPECTROSCOPIC DATA - A kernel-based method determines the similarity of a first spectrum and a second spectrum. Each spectrum represents a result of spectral analysis of a material or chemical and comprises a set of spectral attributes distributed across a spectral range. The method calculates a kernel function which makes use of the shape of the spectral response surrounding a spectral point. This is achieved by comparing the value of an spectral attribute in a spectrum and each of a set of neighbouring spectral attributes within a window around the spectral attribute. Weighting values can be applied to calculations when deriving the kernel function. The weighting values can assign different degrees of importance to different regions of the spectrum. The method can be used to: classify unknown spectra; predict the concentration of an analyte within a mixture; database searching for the closest match using a kernel-derived distance metric; visualisation of high-dimensional spectral data in two or three dimensions. | 07-15-2010 |
