Title: Delivery of nucleic acid-like compounds
Inventor: HONG KEELUNG
IPC: C12N/
Filed: 2003-05-15
Abstract: A process for preparing a microparticulate complex is provided. The process comprises: a) combining a particle-forming component ('PFC') and a nucleic acid-like component ('NAC') in a monophasic composition comprising water and a water-miscible, organic solvent to form a mixture wherein the PFC and the NAC are independently molecularly or micellarly soluble in the aqueous/organic solvent system, and b) reducing the amount of the organic solvent in the mixture. This effects formation of the microparticulate complex of the NAC and the PFC. Also provided is a microparticulate complex that comprises a particle-forming component complexed to a nucleic acid-like component forming an approximately spherical particle, wherein the particle-forming component encloses an interior of the particle containing the nucleic acid-like component and the so-enclosed interior volume has less than about 50 %  (preferably less than 20 %) of the volume containing free water. Also disclosed composition comprising water and particles of the microparticulate complex. According to the invention a nucleic acid-like is component is delivered to a cell by (a) contacting the cell with a composition comprising water and the microparticulate complex, and (b) maintaining the contact for a time sufficient to allow the nucleic acid-based moiety to enter the cell. A therapeutic nucleic acid-like component is delivered into a patient in need thereof by administering a composition comprising water and particles of the microparticulate complex. Also disclosed is a charge-changing composition represented by the formula A-X-B, wherein X represents a chemical bond capable of irreversible dissociation in reaction to a factor in a physiological or bioprocess environment; A represents a molecular moiety that upon dissociation of the bond X produces a ionically charged product; and B represents a molecular moiety, which upon the dissociation of bond X, separates from the composition leaving the remaining ionically charged product more positive than that of A-X-B  itself.

Abstract: Detecting the absence of tagged objects near a computing device and attempting to locate the absent, tagged objects using other computing devices in a power-efficient manner. The computing device is monitored for triggering conditions. Upon occurrence of at least one of the triggering conditions, the computing device polls for the tagged objects expected to be proximate to the computing device. By polling responsive to occurrence of the triggering conditions, power consumption by the computing device is reduced. The triggering conditions include, for example, time-based transitions, movement of the computing device, or a geographic location of the computing device. Upon detecting the absence of at least one of the objects, the computing device, or a web service, identifies other computing devices to which the absent object may be proximate. The other computing devices determine whether the absent object is proximate, and notify the computing device.

Title: Method and system for manufacturing whole soy milk
Inventor: KIM JONGHAE
IPC: A23L11/00
Filed: 2010-04-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing whole soy milk by sterilizing raw beans with the bean skins by heating in a heating chamber, transforming the starch of the beans into soluble dextrin, and then grinding the beans into an ultra-fine powder to be manufactured into whole soy milk. When the starch of the beans is transformed into dextrin by means of the above-described method, whole soy milk which is as smooth as bovine milk can be manufactured, said whole soy milk being easier to digest and having an excellent taste and flavor due to the removal of the inherent fishy taste and grassy flavor or ?stink? of the bean. Also, by using the entire bean including the skin, the problem of waste (i.e. the skin and dregs) generated in traditional soy milk manufacturing processes is resolved, and soy milk yield is greatly improved. Further, a method is provided for manufacturing whole black soybean milk utilizing the quality anticancer ingredients found in black bean skins.

Abstract: The blood glucose analysis technique and system described herein address the issue of hematocrit interference when rapidly detecting glucose concentrations. It addresses this issue by using a differential pulse voltammetry technique in which short high, frequency voltage pulses are applied to keep the diffusion layer within the reagent of the working electrode, and the pulses are applied in a limited voltage window (or range) that is below the peak, diffusion-limited current. The readings below the peak are then used to determine glucose concentrations. With this technique, glucose concentrations can be determined relatively fast (e.g., within 5 seconds) and independently of the hematocrit levels of the fluid being analyzed.
