Patent number: 7759134Abstract: A magnetostrictive ligand sensor device (MLSD), system and method are provided having at least one magnetostrictive particle (MSP) to which is bound at least one binding element. The MSP may be dispersed in a sample containing a target ligand such that the target ligand binds thereto. A driver is also provided to emit a varying magnetic field such that the MSP produces a resonance response detectable by a measurement device configured to receive and detect changes in the resonance response that are due to alterations of the binding element. The MLSD and assays find use in identifying and quantitating ligands as well as chemicals and environmental conditions in a sample or patient.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2004Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Auburn UniversityInventors: Bryan A. Chin, Zhongyang Cheng, Vitaly J. Vodyanoy, James Barbaree, Valery A. Petrenko, Tung-Shi Huang, Howard C. Wikle, III

Patent number: 7613882Abstract: An example embodiment of the present invention provides processes relating to a cache coherence protocol for distributed shared memory. In one process, a DSM-management chip receives a request to modify a block of memory stored on a node that includes the chip and one or more CPUs, which request is marked for fast invalidation and comes from one of the CPUs. The DSM-management chip sends probes, also marked for fast invalidation, to DSM-management chips on other nodes where the block of memory is cached and responds to the original probe, allowing the requested modification to proceed without waiting for responses from the probes. Then the DSM-management chip delays for a pre-determined time period before incrementing the value of a serial counter which operates in connection with another serial counter to prevent data from leaving the node's CPUs over the network until responses to the probes have been received.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2007Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: 3 Leaf SystemsInventors: Isam Akkawi, Michael Woodacre, Bryan Chin, Krishnan Subramani, Najeeb Imran Ansari, Chetana Nagendra Keltcher, Janakiramanan Vaidyanathan

Patent number: 7604807Abstract: Compositions and methods for the reversible preservation of biological samples are provided. The compositions include natural polymers such as pullulan or acacia gum, including derivations and modifications thereof, which are usefull as a reversible preservation solution. A method is provided for using pullulan or Acacia Gum to isolate and reversibly preserve a biological specimen in a dormant state at room temperature for an extended period with minimal damage to the specimen. The compositions and methods disclosed may also be used to create reversibly preserved biological specimens and biological receptors for use in biosensors.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2006Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: Auburn UniversityInventors: Vitaly J.

Publication number: 20060190607Abstract: A cache module (26) at a client computer (12) controls a cache portion (28) on a storage device (24). The cache module communicates with other cache modules at other clients to form a cache community (15). The cache modules store World Wide Web or other content in the cache portions for retrieval in response to requests (32) for content from browsers (30) in the cache community. When the requested content is not available in the cache community, the requested content may be retrieved from an origin server (19) using the Internet.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2006Publication date: August 24, 2006Inventors: Keith Lowery, Bryan Chin, David Consolver, Gregg DeMasters
