  • Detection of target nucleic acid sequences by PTO cleavage and extension assay
    Patent number: 11306349
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the detection of a target nucleic acid sequence by a PTOCE (PTO Cleavage and Extension) assay. The present invention detects a target nucleic acid sequence in which the PTO (Probing and Tagging Oligonucleotide) hybridized with the target nucleic acid sequence is cleaved to release a fragment and the fragment is hybridized with the CTO (Capturing and Templating Oligonucleotide) to form an extended duplex, followed by detecting the presence of the extended duplex. The extended duplex provides signals (generation, increase, extinguishment or decrease of signals) from labels indicating the presence of the extended duplex and has adjustable Tm value, which are well adoptable for detection of the presence of the target nucleic acid sequence.

  • Cerebral shunt valve
    Patent number: 11305099
    Abstract: A bi-stable popper valve and a device for detecting blockage in a flow of a fluid are provided. The valve includes a membrane supporting two conformations: in a first conformation the membrane is convex in relation the upstream fluid, and in a second conformation the membrane can be concave in relation to the upstream fluid, such that in the first conformation the flow of the fluid through the membrane is prevented and in the second conformation the flow of the fluid through the membrane is permitted through a pore defined by the membrane in only the second conformation. The membrane changes from the first conformation to the second responsive to a pressure of the fluid meeting or exceeding an opening pressure value of the membrane. A sensor can detect a shift from the first conformation to the second conformation, indicating a flow, or absence of flow, of the fluid.
