Title: Proteomic profiling method useful for condition diagnosis and monitoring, composition screening, and therapeutic monitoring
Inventor: CHAIRES JONATHAN B
IPC: G01N33/48
Filed: 2008-01-11
Abstract: A method of diagnosing or monitoring a condition of interest in a subject includes comparing thermograms generated using differential scanning calorimetery. A signature thermogram contains a protein composition pattern for a sample obtained from the subject. The signature thermogram is compared to a standard thermogram. Standard thermograms can include a negative standard thermogram containing a protein composition pattern associated with an absence of the condition of interest, and a positive standard thermogram containing a protein composition pattern associated with a presence of the condition of interest.

Inventor: VALERIO THOMAS A
IPC: B07C5/342
Filed: 2008-01-07
Abstract: Sorting dissimilar materials, such as sorting plastics from wood, foam, or rubber. These systems and methods employ either dielectric heating or fluorescent dye absorption characteristics of materials to distinguish the materials. The systems and methods may employ differential dielectric heating and thermal imaging to sort wood, rubber, and foam, from plastic, metals, and other materials that do not undergo dielectric heating. Similarly, systems and methods may employ the greater liquid absorption properties of wood, rubber, and foam as compared to plastic. The dissimilar materials are subjected to fluorescent dye and carrier liquid, that is differentially absorbed by objects. Fluorescent imaging can be used to distinguish the materials. In either case, a computer-controlled system can be used to sort material types based on an evaluation of the thermal or fluorescent image.

Abstract: An apparatus for killing insects, the apparatus including one or more host targets for attracting flying insects using one or a combination of ultraviolet light, halogen light, heat, and chemical sensory emissions attractive to flying insects;  upper and lower housings connected in a manner to establish a vertical separation to accommodate an air column open to the atmosphere; and one or more insect capture assemblies located to receive the air current having a mesh or other means dimensioned to separate insects from the air current of the air column.  The air column is generated by one or more air current generators in the upper and/or lower assemblies to produce a uniform air current open to the atmosphere and flowing vertically at an increased relative speed to the atmosphere thereby creating a zone of differential pressure where the pressure is lowest at the interface between the air column and the atmosphere and increases to atmospheric pressure radially at a distance away from the air column. The differential pressure urges insects into the air column for entrapment into the capture assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to image sensors produced with CMOS  technology, whose individual pixels, arranged in an array of rows and columns, each consist of a photodiode (PD1) associated with a charge storage region (N2) which receives the photogenerated charge before a charge readout phase.   To eliminate the risk of introducing kTC-type noise into the signal, during the reset of the storage zone (N2) at the end of a readout cycle, the invention proposes that the storage zone be divided into two parts one of which (N2b), adjacent to the reset gate (G3), is covered by a diffused region (P2) of the same type of conductivity as the substrate in which the photodiode is formed, this region being brought to the fixed potential of the substrate, and the other (N2a) of which is not covered by such a region and is not adjacent to the reset gate.

The process is further facilitated by the slit (18) that allows spreading of the shell. By shaping the upper (16) so that it presses against the hoof (H), the boot is advantageously held in place using only the gaiter anchored to the heel of the boot and strapped to the pastern of the horse.
