Patent EP-1413876-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DATESMAN AARON M
IPC: G01N21/43
Filed: 2003-10-24
Abstract: A simple, label-less, sensitive, rapid, and inexpensive sensor incorporates a unique optical transduction design and novel materials optimized for chemical or biosensing. The sensor features a planar coupler with at least one input and two output optical waveguides. The system responds to changes in refractive index upon analyte binding to molecular receptors on the sensor surface. In the preferred embodiment the coupling region can support at least two electromagnetic modes, and the interaction of these fields determines the amount of light propagating down each of the output waveguides. The changes in refractive index at the surface of the coupled region affect the interaction of the two propagation modes and, therefore, the amount of light detected at each output. In addition to a unique mode of operation, the waveguides and coupler are preferably fabricated from sol-gel materials chosen to optimize physical properties, suitability for lithography, optical properties, and availability of functional groups for immobilization of receptors or molecular recognition elements. The sol-gel materials used can be modified with dopants, allowing facile tailoring of their refractive index. Refractive index tuning is an advantage, not only for optimization of the coupler's waveguiding properties and refractive index sensitivity, but also allows the sensor to be tuned to have highest sensitivity in the refractive index ranges necessary for detection of protein/oligonucleotide-based molecular-based molecular recognition, or other analytes of interest.

IPC: G02B6/122

Abstract: A waveguide structure formed with a three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystal (740,730) is disclosed. The 3D photonic crystal comprises a periodic array of voids formed in a solid substrate (700,704). The voids are arranged to create a complete photonic bandgap. The voids may be formed using a technique called "surface transformation" or "empty space in silicon" technique, which involves forming holes in the substrate surface, and annealing the substrate to initiate migration of the substrate near the surface to form voids in the substrate. A channel capable of transmitting radiation corresponding to the complete bandgap is formed in the 3D photonic crystal, thus forming the waveguide (780). The waveguide (780) may be formed by interfacing two 3D photonic crystal regions, with at least one of the regions having a channel formed therein. The bandgap wavelength can be chosen by arranging the periodic array of voids to have a lattice constant a fraction of the bandgap wavelength.

IPC: C07H21/04
Filed: 2003-06-20
Abstract: The invention relates to methods of genotyping single nucleotide differences in a nucleic acid sample. More particularly, the invention provides methods of identifying the nucleotide at a polymorphic site or a group of polymorphic sites in a sample of genomic DNA. The method uses tagged primer extension in which a set of tag sequences correspond to the identity of the nucleotides at the polymorphic sites. Primer extension products are PCR amplified using a common set of tag-specific primers, the downstream primers bearing distinguishable labels. Following separation by size and/or charge, the detection of distinguishable label in a product of the anticipated size determines the identity of the nucleotide at the polymorphic site. The method is well-suited for the genotyping of multiple single-nucleotide differences in one series of reactions.

IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-11-06
Abstract: In case a transmission of a MAC-hs PDU is aborted and all the RLC PDUs contained therein are discarded, delays may occur since these lost PDUs have to be retransmitted on RLC protocol level resulting in considerable delay since the Iub and Iur text interfaces have to be passed. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a transmission abortion is determined and a reduced number of data packets contained in the container which transmission has been aborted are put into another container provided with the same sequence as the proceeding aborted container and sent to the receiver. Advantageously, due to the fact that this second container may have a reduced amount of data packets contained and/or may have a reduced length, a probability that this second container is received error free at the receiving side is increased.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of drug development. More specifically the invention provides a method for the identification of drug targets. The method can also be used for analysis of proteomes. The method utilizes in essence a combination of two chromatographic separations of the same type, separated by a step in which the population of the drug-bound targets is altered specifically on the drug in such a way that the chromatographic behaviour of the altered drug-bound targets in the second chromatographic separation differs from the chromatographic behaviour of its unaltered version. The different chromatographic behaviour of the altered drug-bound targets is used for the isolation and subsequent identification of the targets.
