  • Patent number: 9581602
    Abstract: A method of selecting a monoclonal cell colony that secretes a product of interest providing a plurality of cell culture spaces; each cell culture space has a respective assessment surface with a first binding agent immobilized on the assessment surface. The cells are incubated in a growth medium in the cell culture spaces for replication of the cells. At least some of the cells secrete a product of interest. A second binding agent is provided in the cell culture spaces. Initially, the second binding agent is not immobilized. Each of the first and second binding agents binds to the product of interest so that secretion of the product of interest by cells in any one of the cell culture spaces leads to a complex with the first binding agent, the product of interest and the second binding agent forming at the corresponding assessment surface of the cell culture space.

  • Publication number: 20170039706
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to iterative regularized reconstruction methods. In certain embodiments, the methods incorporate locally-weighted total variation denoising to suppress artifacts induced by PSF modeling. In certain embodiments, the methods are useful for suppressing ringing artifacts while contrast recovery is maintained. In certain embodiments, the weighting scheme can be extended to noisy measures introducing a noise-independent weighting scheme. The present disclosure is also directed to a method for quantifying radioligand binding in a subject without collecting arterial blood. In certain embodiments, the methods incorporate using imaging data and electronic health records to predict one or more anchors, which are used to generate an aterial input function (AIF) for the radioligand.

  • Publication number: 20150268249
    Abstract: A method of selecting a monoclonal cell colony that secretes a product of interest providing a plurality of cell culture spaces; each cell culture space has a respective assessment surface with a first binding agent immobilised on the assessment surface.

  • Patent number: 8931536
    Abstract: Described herein are devices for applying conductive gels to electrodes and the gel-laminated electrodes produced thereby. The devices permit the reuse of the electrodes by easily applying fresh gels to them for each subsequent use. In a first example embodiment, all of the components of the laminating device are provided in a single housing. In a second example embodiment, the gel applying and drive components are housed within the device, and a replaceable cartridge houses the gels and the gel delivery components. Also described herein are dispensers for storing and dispensing conductive gels that can be readily applied to and removed from an electrode.

  • Patent number: 8396695
    Abstract: Systems and methods that include selecting a physical model and a procedural model associated with an industrial plant, projecting a cross-product of the physical model and the procedural model into a unit-operation association set using a projection matrix, the unit-operation association set associating units representing equipment in the industrial plant and operations representing processes performed in the industrial plant, and establishing internal and external adjacency sets within structures, the internal adjacency set identifying connections between inputs and outputs of individual units and operations, the external adjacency set identifying connections between outputs of some units and operation and inputs of other units and operations. These systems and methods may also include generating a hyperstructure representing the industrial plant using the association and adjacency sets.
