20130345527 | ULTRASOUND BASED ANTIGEN BINDING DETECTION - Embodiments provided here generally relate to combinations of ultrasound aspects and antibodies. In some embodiments, antibodies are immobilized on a surface and binding of the antibodies to antigens can be detected by detecting changes in the vibrational properties of the surface. | 12-26-2013 |
20140018673 | IONIZING RADIATION DETECTOR FOR USE WITH ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND - Embodiments provided herein relate to ionizing radiation detectors for use with endoscopic ultrasounds. In some embodiments, an apparatus is provided and includes an ultrasound transducer and an ionizing radiation detector, such as a scintillating detector. The ionizing radiation detector can comprise a scintillating material and a photodetector. | 01-16-2014 |
20140148671 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING ANASTOMOSIS LEAKAGE - Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for detecting an anastomosis leakage at the tubular tissue of a subject. The method can include applying a composition to an exterior of an anastomosis site in the tubular tissue of said subject and monitoring a urine color of the subject after the composition is applied. The composition may include a bioabsorbable binding medium and a biocompatible chromophore at least partially encapsulated in the bioabsorbable binding medium. Also disclosed are implantable films including: a first layer having a first bioabsorbable polymer and a biocompatible chromophore; and a second layer having a second bioabsorbable polymer. The biocompatible chromophore can be embedded within the bioabsorbable polymer. The second layer can be substantially free of the bioabsorbable polymer. | 05-29-2014 |
20140183090 | BIOACTIVE PACKAGING - Provided herein are packaging materials that include a bioactive material, as well as methods of using and methods of making such bioactive packaging material. | 07-03-2014 |
20140191036 | ORTHOGONAL ENCODING FOR TAGS - Symbologies for encoding data, as well as methods of encoding and decoding thereof are described. The symbologies may have a plurality of pixels arranged in a plurality of patterns on or in a substrate. Furthermore, each of the plurality of pixels may have one or more optical properties that each provides one or more types of non-interacting data. | 07-10-2014 |
20140352602 | Color Change Indicator of Biofilm Formation - Technologies are generally described for devices for detection of a biofilm by a color change in a moisture-indicating substance, such as a chemical or a dye. The moisture indicating material may be supported by a substrate and sealed to keep moisture from the moisture indicating material. Alternatively, the moisture indicating material may be supported in a pouch and sealed by the pouch. The color change results from an ingress of moisture accompanying growth of a biofilm. The moisture-indicating substance may be used with indwelling or other devices to detect a biofilm. When the biofilm has sufficiently degraded the seal, an ingress of moisture and its accompanying pH may cause a color change in the moisture-indicating substance to signify the presence of the biofilm. Methods of manufacture and use of the disclosed devices are also described. | 12-04-2014 |
