  • Patent number: 9468402
    Abstract: A biosensor system comprises a capillary substrate, conductive electrode, and a plurality of nanoparticles having an enzyme deposited thereon formed in a cavity at one end of the capillary substrate. The substrate may have an optional reinforcing layer (which may be conductive or non-conductive) and optional insulating layer thereon. A cannula having an optional conductive layer, insulating layer, and reference electrode may also form part of the system.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130172705
    Abstract: The present invention is broadly concerned with the crafting and manufacturability of an implantable enzymatic-based sensor characterized by a small size, optimum geometry, linearity of response over the concentration range of interest, extended shelf-life, selectivity for the analyte in question, and the ability to exclude bioactive interferents. More particularly, it is preferably concerned with a general approach to optimize the performance of the biorecognition elements required to produce biosensors of the type designed to provide, and in conjunction with a suitable signal processing unit, a current which is proportional to the concentration of the analyte of interest. The biosensors described herein may be implanted in vivo, including intra-cerebral, sub-cutaneous, intra-muscular, inter-peritoneal oral, serum, and vascular implantation, the majority of which may act as a surrogate for systemic monitoring and used to monitor analytes of interest in real-time.

  • Patent number: 6584568
    Abstract: The present invention involves a desktop administration system and method which allows a network administrator to remotely create, protect, and manage desktops and control file systems across a network. The method involves masking operation of the network providers while obtaining a user security information record relating to the user's allowed scope of access to the network providers. Next, the operation of the user is enabled only with the network providers authorized based on the user security information record. Finally, the user's interaction with each network provider is monitored and the user is only allowed to act consistent with the user security information record. Each workstation includes a personal desktop facility (PDF) and a Daemon which protects the user's desktop.
