Publication number: 20210277048Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing nucleic acid-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers, which comprises allowing a nucleic acid to react with a solution of a metal ion-containing compound at room temperature, thereby forming a complex between the metal ion and the nitrogen atom of an amide bond or amine group present in the nucleic acid. According to the present invention, organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflower structures may be synthesized using nucleic acid in a simple manner under an environmentally friendly condition without any toxic chemical substance. The produced organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflower structures show a high DNA encapsulation yield, have resistance against nuclease, and show significantly increased peroxidase activity. Thus, these nanoflower structures may be widely used as a gene therapy carrier and in biosensing technology.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Inventors: Hyun Gyu PARK, Moon Il Kim, Ki Soo Park, Chang Yeol Lee, Phuong Thy Nguyen

Patent number: 10488004Abstract: An imitation candle is provided that simulates an open flame by providing a flickering light effect reflected on a flame element. The flickering light effect may be produced using a light transmitting device, such as a fiber optic cable, that allows light to travel from a light source located near the base of the candle to the top of the candle to reflect off the flame element. The imitation candle may further include an additional light source located in the base of the candle to illuminate the body of the candle. Such additional light source may be one or more light sources of different color, which may allow the body of the candle to change color. Optionally, the color changing body may be implemented in combination with a light source located at the top of the candle that produces a flickering effect.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: MerchSource, LLCInventors: Michael Roberts, Y-Co Thy Nguyen-Viveros
