Abstract: The method uses a suspended resonating microcapillary device, and obtains simultaneously three parameters of the analytes: mass, size and refractive index, enabling the unequivocal classification of the analytes flowing in real time, based on the resonance frequency displacement and the change in reflectivity of the transparent microcapillary. The method comprises the stages of: the obtaining of a measurement of the reflectivity of the sample analytes within the capillary at each moment in time; the obtaining of a mechanical reference signal (Tt) of the change in resonance frequency of the microcapillary caused by the sample analytes over time; and the detection of the passage of the particle through an area of the capillary, and the obtaining of the points of passage of the ends of the analytes through the centre of the illuminated area, obtaining an optical signal ?T.

In particular, the method includes verifying user identity by requesting and receiving a user identification input at a first client device and verifying device identity of a second client device by (i) determining a security status of the second client device from hardware of the second client device, (ii) invoking an identifier related to the security status of the second client device to an authentication server, and (iii) obtaining certification from the authentication server for the second client device based on the invoked identifier. After verifying the user identity and the device identity, the method includes establishing a secure channel between the first client device and the second client device for the secure credential transfer using one or more tokens generated by the authentication server.

Abstract: An analysis system includes a reflective substrate; a hollow elongate structure with two ends; two polymer supports coupled to the ends and joined to the substrate; a piezoelectric device coupled to the substrate and designed to produce vibrations in the elongate structure; a laser for emitting a beam; a beam splitter; a photodetector; an amplification module; and a processor. The laser beam passes through the cavity and is absorbed by the photodetector, which generates a signal that is transmitted to the amplification module. The amplification module separates the signal into a modulated component and an unmodulated component. The signal is transmitted to the processor to obtain the resonance frequency and reflectance and to provide the piezoelectric device with an excitation signal at the resonance frequency.

Abstract: A programmable modular protein architecture for RNA binding comprises a set of modules, derived from RNA-binding protein Pumilio, that can be concatenated into chains of varying composition and length. When bound into a chain, each module has a preferred affinity for a specific RNA base. The chains can bind arbitrary RNA sequences with high specificity and fidelity by varying the sequence of modules within the chains. Each module contains at least 6 amino acids, with the amino acids in positions 1 and 5 providing the preferred affinity for the specific base, and the amino acid at position 2 serving as a stacking unit between concatenated modules. The modules may have four canonic forms, each having a preferred affinity for a different base and characterized by the base with which it has affinity, the two amino acids that provide the affinity, and the amino acid that serves as a stacking unit.
