Patent number: 11948302Abstract: An in-line holographic microscope can be used to analyze a video stream to track individual colloidal particles' three-dimensional motions. The system and method can provide real time nanometer resolution, and simultaneously measure particle sizes and refractive indexes. An assay using the holographic microscope for holographic particle characterization directly detect viruses, antibodies and related targets binding to the surfaces of specifically functionalized micrometer-scale colloidal probe beads. The system detects binding of targets by directly measuring associated changes in the bead's diameter without the need for downstream labeling and analysis.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignees: New York University, Spheryx, IncInventors: David G. Grier, Fook Chiong Cheong, Kaitlynn Snyder, Rushna Quddus, Lauren E. Altman, Kent Kirshenbaum

Patent number: 11921023Abstract: Holographic Video Microscopy analysis of non-spherical particles is disclosed herein. Properties of the particles are determined by application of light scattering theory to holography data. Effective sphere theory is applied to provide information regarding the reflective index of a sphere that includes a target particle. Known particles may be co-dispersed with unknown particles in a medium and the holographic video microscopy is used to determine properties, such as porosity, of the unknown particles.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignees: New York University, Spheryx, Inc.Inventors: David G.

Publication number: 20130254643Abstract: A computer-based system provides a user interface for displaying hyperlinked content (such as web content) and for enabling users to navigate the hyperlinks contained within such content. One benefit of various embodiments of the present invention is that they enable primary hyperlinked content to be rendered, and for associated content (i.e., content located at the destinations of hyperlinks within the primary content) to be rendered without replacing, overwriting, or otherwise obscuring the rendering of the primary content. As a result, the rendering of the primary content remains fully visible after the associated content is rendered and while the rendering of the associated content is visible. For example, the associated content may be rendered in an existing display area that does not overlap with the display area containing the rendering of the primary content.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2013Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicant: SpanLocal News, Inc.Inventors: Richard Goldman, Christopher Stephenson, Robert Bailie

Patent number: 8171867Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method and computer program product for quilting and embroidering fabric. The method comprises securing a quilt sandwich of top layer fabric, batting and backing fabric in an embroidery hoop and attaching said embroidery hoop to an embroidery machine. The user retrieves a digitized embroidery file that is fed into the embroidery machine. The digitized file instructs the embroidery machine to stitch the quilt layers together according to a predetermined stippling pattern and to stitch an outline for an appliqué. After an appliqué fabric is placed over the outline, the digitized file sews a tackdown stitch, after which appliqué enhancements or additional layers of appliqué may also be stitched. The quilt is then removed from the embroidery hoop and the appliqué and quilt are trimmed.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2009Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Great Notions News, Inc.Inventor: Eileen Roche

Patent number: 7963238Abstract: A placement holder for an embroiderable comprising a magnetic hoop assembly for use in an embroidery machine. The magnetic hoop assembly includes a first hoop comprising a magnetic material and a second hoop comprising a quantity of metal sufficient for the first hoop to be attracted to the second hoop. The magnetic attraction between the first hoop and the second hoop enables the embroiderable to be held in place between the first hoop and the second hoop for embroidery. An adapter is attached to either the first hoop or second hoop. One end of the adapter is attached to the first hoop or second hoop, and the other end of the adapter attaches to an attachment mechanism on a pantograph on the embroidery machine.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2008Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: Great Notions News, Inc.Inventors: Gary Allen Gardner, Eileen Katherine Roche

Patent number: 6467096Abstract: A baseball type cap comprising a hemispherical shell defining an opening for reception of a head of a wearer, and a size adjustment mechanism mounted to the shell for infinitely adjusting a size of the cap. The size adjustment mechanism includes a flexible drawstring slidably disposed within a channel formed along a peripheral edge of the shell, and a shiftable clamping slide adjustably mounted to the drawstring. A middle portion of the drawstring extends from the channel through a pair of holes therein and passes beneath a retaining loop formed on an outer peripheral surface of the cap shell, forming a closed adjusting loop. The clamping slide is operably attached to the adjusting loop for controlling the size of the adjusting loop, thus operatively adjusting an effective perimeter of the peripheral edge of the cap shell that defines a size of the headwear.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2001Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Assignee: International News, Inc.Inventor: Julie Coluccio
