  • Patent number: 11726061
    Abstract: A probe element for separation and sensing of analytes of interest controlled by temperature is provided. The probe element includes at least one magnetic crystal and one or more types of capping agents. The capping agent can have stabilizing and or anchoring functions. The magnetic crystal produces a stable magnetic field at the temperature of interest for sensing or separation. The stable magnetic field can be controlled by temperature and the probe can be integrated in a sensing and or separation device and process.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9961243
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein that generally involve a camera system including a high-quality lens which is selectively attachable to a mobile device, effectively replacing the mobile device's integral lens. The attachable camera system can leverage existing features of the mobile device, such as the display, battery, storage, and sharing functions, allowing the camera system itself to be a relatively simple, lightweight, portable, and inexpensive device. The ability to selectively attach and detach the camera system from the mobile device allows the camera system to be removed when it is desired to maintain the mobile device's favorable weight, size, and ergonomic characteristics. When high quality image or video capture or increased camera flexibility and functionality is desired, the camera system can be attached to the mobile device.
