Abstract: A thermally sensitive polymer-particle composite (10) that absorbs electromagnetic radiation, and uses the absorbed energy to trigger the delivery of a chemical (20) is disclosed. Metal nanoshells (16) are nanoparticulate materials that are suitable for use in the present composites (10) and can be made according to a process that includes optically tuning or tailoring their maximum optical absorption to any desired wavelength primarily by altering the ratio or the core diameter to the shell thickness. Preferred nanoshells (16) are selected that strongly absorb light in the near-infrared and thus produce heat. These nanoshells (16) are combined with a temperature-sensitive material (12) to provide an implantable or injectable material for modulated drug (20) delivery via external exposure to near-IR light. This invention provides a means to improve the quality of life for persons requiring multiple injections of a drug, such as diabetes mellitus patients.

Abstract: A photodetector and a method for detecting radiation are disclosed. The photodetector comprises a zone of a semiconductor material suitably doped to collect photogenerated charges, coupled in parallel to a capacitance between a ground voltage and a sensing node. A metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor is coupled at its source and a drain between the sensing node and a supply voltage, and a means for applying a predetermined voltage to the gate of the transistor Ls provided. In operation, the capacitance is first charged so that the magnitude of a voltage at the sensing node is greater than a transition voltage magnitude, and a predetermined gate voltage is applied. The transistor then is non-conductive, and a photocurrent of a magnitude dependent on the intensity of incident radiation flows through the zone of semiconductor material, discharging the capacitance and causing the sensing node voltage to vary substantially linearly with the photocurrent magnitude. At some point, the sensing node voltage reaches the transition voltage, and thereafter the transistor becomes conductive and the photocurrent generates a sensing node voltage which changes substantially logarithmically with the photocurrent magnitude. By combining aspects of integrated and logarithmic photodetectors, a fast response time and a high dynamic range are achieved.

Abstract: A method for determining if or when a monomer is incorporated into a growing DNA chain associated with a polymerase, where a tag is located on the polymerase so that as the pyrophosphate group is released after base incorporation and prior to its diffusion away from the polymerase, the polymerase tag interacts with the tag on the pyrophosphate causing a change in a detectable property of one of the tags or a detectable property associated with both tags in the case of a fluorescent pair. A composition useful in the method comprises a tagged polymerase and tagged monomers, the monomers being tagged on a pyrophosphate group which is released after base incorporation, where an intensity and/or frequency of fluorescence light emitted by at least one tag changes when the tags interact. The polymerase may be  Taq  DNA polymerase I.
