  • Monolithic frequency converter
    Patent number: 10007170
    Abstract: Tunable monolithic cavity-based frequency converter pumped by a single-frequency laser where cavity resonance(s) are achieved by independently changing the temperatures of different sections of the crystal, including the periodically poled section and one or more adjacent, non-poled regions. Having independent control of the phase matching temperature and the cavity resonance for a down-converted beam increases the efficiency.

  • Method for monitoring HIV specific T cell responses
    Patent number: 9709577
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a diagnostic kit for monitoring HIV specific T cell responses and identifying subjects capable of controlling HIV progression or preventing HIV infection altogether. The method is based on the combined use of boosted flow cytometry and toggle peptides and can cover a large set of effector functions. The method is also suitable to detect T cell responses of any desirable cytokine or combination of cytokines to any pathogen.
