Abstract: A method of preventing or inhibiting L-cystine crystallization is disclosed, using the compounds of formula I: R1a—[O]v-(-A-L-)m-A-[O]v—R1b?? I wherein A, L, R1a, R1b, m, and v are as described herein. The compounds may be prepared as pharmaceutical compositions, and may be used for the prevention and treatment of conditions that are causally related to L-cystine crystallization, such as comprising (but not limited to) kidney stones.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for acoustically manipulating one or more particles.

Abstract: A system may identify resources such as applications or network locations that are not adequately covered by an enterprise's security policy to notify a network administrator of such deficiencies. An exemplary security policy may allow or deny access to individual functional resources (e.g. computing devices and/or applications) or groups of functional resources to individual data resources (e.g. enterprise network storage locations and/or enterprise data) or groups of data resources. The system may monitor enterprise network activity to identify when a security policy fails to define permissions corresponding to the use of particular resources. In response to identifying such gaps in the security policy, the system may enter policy enforcement event information into a policy learning log. The system may further generate a policy gap notification and transmit this notification to a policy management service to prompt a network administrator to take remedial action if appropriate.

Abstract: An apparatus for separating particles from a medium includes a capillary defining a flow path therein that is in fluid communication with a medium source. The medium source includes engineered acoustic contrast capture particle having a predetermined acoustic contrast. The apparatus includes a vibration generator that is operable to produce at least one acoustic field within the flow path. The acoustic field produces a force potential minima for positive acoustic contrast particles and a force potential minima for negative acoustic contrast particles in the flow path and drives the engineered acoustic contrast capture particles to either the force potential minima for positive acoustic contrast particles or the force potential minima for negative acoustic contrast particles.

Abstract: An apparatus for acoustic concentration of particles in a fluid flow includes a substantially acoustically transparent membrane and a vibration generator that define a fluid flow path therebetween. The fluid flow path is in fluid communication with a fluid source and a fluid outlet and the vibration generator is disposed adjacent the fluid flow path and is capable of producing an acoustic field in the fluid flow path. The acoustic field produces at least one pressure minima in the fluid flow path at a predetermined location within the fluid flow path and forces predetermined particles in the fluid flow path to the at least one pressure minima.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for receiving an item identifier that identifies an item and an attribute associated with an item. The received attribute is based upon a hidden attribute that is revealed upon analysis of the item. If the received attribute matches an expected attribute, which is associated with the item identifier, is determined.
