Publication number: 20090117571Abstract: A biosensor system includes a functionalized interdigitated electrode, functionalized nanoparticles, a current/voltage signal generator, and a circuit analyzer. The interdigitated electrode can be functionalized by coating an exposed surface with first biomolecular probes. The nanoparticles are functionalized by coating an outer surface with second biomolecular probes. A signal generator provides a signal (e.g., an alternating current or voltage) having a selected range of frequencies. A circuit analyzer analyzes electrical parameters of the circuit as the signal is applied. Sensitivity is increased by the presence of functionalized nanoparticles in the system. An analytic method includes measuring changes in electrical parameters of the circuit over the range of frequencies. Using these measurements, the biosensor system can determine whether a target biomolecule is bound.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2008Publication date: May 7, 2009Applicant: State of Oregon by and through the State Board of Higher Education on behalf of Portland State Univ.Inventors: Rajendra Solanki, Jeffrey S.

Patent number: 7118217Abstract: An Optical Imaging Device of Retinal Function has been developed to detect changes in reflectance of near infrared light from the retina of human subjects in response to visual activation of the retina by a pattern stimulus. The measured changes in reflectance correspond in time to the onset and offset of the visual stimulus in the portion of the retina being stimulated. Any changes in reflectance can be measured by interrogating the retina with a light source. The light source may be presented to the retina via the cornea and pupil or through other tissues in and around the eye. Different wavelengths of interrogating light may be used to interrogate various layers of the retina. Additionally, various novel patterns and methods of stimulation have been developed for use with the imaging device and methods.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2003Date of Patent: October 10, 2006Assignees: University of Iowa Research Foundation, The Research Foundation of State Univ. of New York, Kestrel CorporationInventors: Randy H.
