Abstract: Each of plural sigma-delta modulators (M1, M2) having a sampling capacitor (CS11, CS12, CS21, CS22), an integrator (Amp1, Amp2), and a quantizer (Cmp1..Cmp5) are connected to each other in parallel. Each of the sigma-delta modulators conducts parallel oversampling in which an analog input signal (Vin) is sampled by a sampling capacitor, and the sampling result is quantized by the integrator and the quantizer. Then, the quantized values of the sigma-delta modulators are added to obtain MSBs, the residue values of the integrators after quantizing in the respective sigma-delta modulators are added, and the addition result of the residue values is converted analog-to-digital to obtain LSBs.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to polymers and macromolecules, in particular, to block polymers useful in particles such as nanoparticles. One aspect of the invention is directed to a method of developing nanoparticles with desired properties. In one set of embodiments, the method includes producing libraries of nanoparticles having highly controlled properties, which can be formed by mixing together two or more macromolecules in different ratios. One or more of the macromolecules may be a polymeric conjugate of a moiety to a biocompatible polymer. In some cases, the nanoparticle may contain a drug. The moiety, in some embodiments, may have a molecular weight greater than about 1000 Da; for example, the moiety may include a polypeptide or a polynucleotide, such as an aptamer. The moiety may also be a targeting moiety, an imaging moiety, a chelating moiety, a charged moiety, or a therapeutic moiety. Another aspect of the invention is directed to systems and methods of producing such polymeric conjugates. In some embodiments, a solution containing a polymer is contacted with a liquid, such as an immiscible liquid, to form nanoparticles containing the polymeric conjugate. Other aspects of the invention are directed to methods using such libraries, methods of using or administering such polymeric conjugates, methods of promoting the use of such polymeric conjugates, kits involving such polymeric conjugates, or the like.

Abstract: Méthodes et appareils pour la détection de la température répartie (DTS) comprenant le marquage d'au moins un point dans un emplacement connu le long d'un guide d'ondes ou fibre de système de détection de la température répartie et l'application d'information sur la position des emplacements marqués aux mesures de DTS. Un réseau de Bragg dans le guide d'ondes ou la fibre peut fournir un marqueur discret pour déterminer l'information sur la position. L'application de l'information sur la position des emplacements marqués aux mesures de DTS permet d'éviter l'interprétation ambiguë d'autres caractéristiques inhérentes pour évaluer l'emplacement. Elle permet aussi l'analyse des données référencées par les emplacements connus pour la correspondance des mesures de DTS dans l'espace.

Abstract: The present invention relates to simple method to fabricate DNA hybridization devices based upon adsorptive attachment~ of oligonucleotides to a positively charged surface. Such adsorbed oligonucleotide probes form a densely packed monolayer, which retains capacity for base-pair specific hybridization with a solution state nucleic acid target strand to form the duplex. However, both strand dissociation kinetics and the rate of DNase digestion suggest on symmetry grounds that solution-state nucleic acid binds to such adsorbed oligonucleotides to form a highly asymmetric and unwound duplex, with structural details that are substantially different from that known for the Watson-Crick DNA duplex. This novel nucleic acid duplex form can serve as the basis for a new class of hybridization device and methods for their use. It is also disclosed that new methods of nucleic acid duplex detection can be developed which are based upon the interaction of enzymes and dye labels with the unique structural characteristics of the non-helical duplex described herein. Preferred implementations of the invention include DNA microarrays, bead- based nucleic acid analysis, microelectronic devices to detect nucleic acid hybridization and more traditional methods of laboratory analysis, including hybridization on membranous and other solid supports.

Granted: 2018-05-22
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for producing an endless double-walled pipe having corrugated pipe sections and sleeve pipe sections are described. The production is effected by extrusion of an outer tube (Sa), forming the outer pipe of the double-walled pipe, and of an inner tube (Si), forming the inner tube of the double-walled pipe, in a molding passage (10) having sections with a corrugated molding surface and a smooth cylindrical sleeve molding surface. To shape the sleeve section, the outer tube is extruded into the sleeve molding surface and is brought into contact with the sleeve molding surface. The inner tube (Si) is then extruded into the outer tube (Sa), already in contact over the entire axial length of the sleeve molding surface, and is brought in the process into contact with the inner side of said outer tube (Sa) that is in contact.

Granted: 2018-08-21
Abstract: A computer system-based automated loss verification system for evaluating the validity of claims filed under an insurance policy or debt protection contract is provided by this invention. Instead of requiring the claimant to contact the insurance company or lender to file the claim and provide exhaustive documentary proof of the validity of the claimed loss, the system pre-scores the relative risk of the claim using a risk assessment tool based upon predictive modeling and a number of potential risk factors. The associated automated loss verification tool uses this risk score and other information connected with the claim to assign a relative confidence level of proof of valid loss that must be satisfied before the claim can be approved through the adjudication process, and assigns a third-party supplied source or combination of sources of proof that can be automatically accessed by the system to validate the claim.
