Abstract: Methods and systems for selectively capturing analytes, such as cells, e.g., circulating tumor cells (CTCs), from fluid samples are disclosed. The methods include contacting the sample with an analyte binding moiety that selectively binds to the analytes; optionally separating first components of the sample including a majority of the analytes bound to the binding moieties from second components of the sample using size-based separation, e.g.

Abstract: A system and method for managing, tracking and recording one or more biological process inputs, outputs and their derived forms is provided. The inputs pertaining to the biological process inputs, outputs and their derived forms are received and processed. The inputs include information related to the biological processes and the biological process inputs, outputs and their derived forms. The inputs further include information related to modifications in the biological process inputs, outputs and their derived forms. The inputs also include outputs of the biological processes. The inputs are processed by modifying the received inputs into a predefined format. Thereafter, the received inputs and processed inputs are stored. The stored inputs are accessed for managing, tracking and recording the biological processes, biological process inputs, outputs and their derived forms.

Abstract: Where multiple client devices are synchronized to multiple, asynchronous instances of a time-based media presentation such as live and time-shifted views of a television broadcast, interactive content can be delivered to each one of the various devices at a particular time (or “time offset”) within the presentation independent of when each instance of the time-based media presentation is viewed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a minimally invasive surgical applicator device. The device is useful in the application of bone wax during surgical procedures to halt or reduce bone bleeding. The device may be sterilized for re-use or may be made disposable.

Abstract: A plurality of audio signals are broadcasted concurrently on a plurality of substantially separate audio channels. Each of the audio channels has a center frequency greater than approximately 16 kHz. Broadcasting the audio signals causes one or more clients to automatically retrieve a resource from a resource location. The plurality of audio signals collectively encode a resource identifier that describes the resource location.

Abstract: An audio channel of a time-based media presentation provides a basis for synchronizing to the presentation across a variety of platforms independent of when and where the presentation is being viewed. By pre-processing the media into a series of non-unique hashes, and similarly processing an audio stream of the media captured at a client device, a comparison can be made that yields an accurate time offset within the presentation. The comparison may usefully be performed over a data network using a server that hosts data from the pre-processed media, and a variety of applications may be deployed on the client device based on the resulting synchronization.
