  • Publication number: 20240094517
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems that use a photonic crystal (PC) for interference scattering microscopy. Incident light is directed onto a surface of the PC and couples into a photonic crystal guided resonance (PCGR) mode of the PC such that less than 1% of the incident light is transmitted through the PC as transmitted light. One or more particles adjacent to the surface of the PC scatter a portion of the light coupled into the PCGR mode as scattered light. An image comprising a pattern of constructive and destructive interference between the transmitted light and the scattered light is formed, and an image sensor may capture one or more image frames of the image Imaging processing of the one or more image frames can be used to identify at least one scattering center corresponding to at least one particle of the one or more particles.

  • Patent number: 8219630
    Abstract: A sending device locates and stores identifying information for each electronic message sent by the device. A receiving device, upon receipt of an electronic message, locates identifying information for the electronic message and the purported sending device of the message. The receiving device communicates a confirmation request to the purported sending device which contains identifying information for the message. The sending device receives confirmation messages and replies to such messages confirming that the message was sent if identifying information in the confirmation request corresponds to identifying information stored by the sending device and denying that the message was sent if the identifying information in the confirmation request does not correspond to stored data.
