  • Peptide hydrogels and use thereof
    Patent number: 11661439
    Abstract: This disclosure provides novel anionic amphiphilic ?-hairpin peptides that self-assemble under appropriate conditions to form a reversible gel-sol hydrogel that can be used, for example, to readily deliver protein therapeutics and cells by injection to a target location in a subject.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 17, 2017
    Date of Patent: May 30, 2023
    Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services

  • Wireless communication device and system
    Patent number: 8620254
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a wireless communications device that includes an antenna configured to receive an RF signal from an ambient environment. The antenna is characterized by an antenna impedance and the RF signal is characterized by a predetermined frequency. A passive mixer assembly is coupled to the antenna without an RF matching network. The passive mixer assembly is characterized by a passive mixer impedance presented to the antenna. The passive mixer assembly includes a plurality of baseband mixer ports. The passive mixer assembly is configured to downconvert the RF signal and provide a plurality of baseband signals. Each baseband signal of the plurality of baseband signals is directed out of a corresponding port of the plurality of baseband mixer ports and characterized by a predetermined phase of a plurality of predetermined phases. A baseband low noise amplifier (baseband-LNA) assembly is coupled to the passive mixer assembly.
