Patents by Inventor Nebiyu Getachew AREGA

Nebiyu Getachew AREGA has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11152082
    Abstract: A protein memory cell and a protein memory system are provided. The protein memory cell includes: first and second electrodes disposed to be spaced apart from each other on a micro channel; a gap region defined between the first and second electrodes on the micro channel; an outer region defined as an opposite side to the gap region based on the first or second electrode on the micro channel; and a photosensitive protein changing conductivity between the first and second electrodes while moving between the gap region and the outer region depending on structural conversion of a chromophore.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 24, 2020
    Date of Patent: October 19, 2021
    Assignees: HONGIK UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY-ACADEMIA COOPERATION FOUNDATION, MYONGJI UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY AND ACADEMIA COOPERATION FOUNDATION
    Inventors: Minsub Chung, Sangmin Lee, Hwajin Lee, Tran Nguyen Anh Nhung, Dohyun Kim, Nebiyu Getachew Arega, Minh Khang Chau

  • Patent number: 10620157
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a single point detection type microfluidic chip isoelectric focusing. The single point detection type microfluidic chip isoelectric focusing uses a microfluidic chip including first and second electrode portions storing each electrode solution at both ends and a microfluidic channel between the first and second electrode portions and includes a focusing step of respectively connecting each electrode to the first electrode portion and the second electrode portion and applying an electric field thereto to separate a biomolecule to an isoelectric point, a mobilization step of moving the focused biomolecule toward a detection point by removing the electrode solution in the first electrode portion or the second electrode portion, and a detection step of the biomolecule moved toward the detection point.
