Abstract: The presence of analytes can be detected in the bodily fluid using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) or Electrochemical Capacitance Spectroscopy (ECS) in devices, such as handheld point-of-care devices. The devices, as well as systems and methods, utilize using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) or Electrochemical Capacitance Spectroscopy (EIS) in combination with an antibody or other target-capturing molecule on a working electrode. Imaginary impedance or phase shift, as well as background subtraction, also may be utilized.

Abstract: Methods for detecting one or more analytes in a sample utilizing Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurement. In one method, analyte detection includes comparing an imaginary impedance measurement to a calibration curve of concentrations for each target analyte. The calibration curve of concentrations for each target analyte is established at an optimal frequency. In another method, a signal decoupling algorithm is utilized for detection of more than one analyte on an electrode.

Abstract: The present invention belongs to the technical field of underwater communication, and provides a novel highly robust underwater optical communication system which comprises a sending module and a receiving module. The novel highly robust underwater optical communication system realizes highly robust underwater optical communication under strong interference of sunlight and artificial light sources. The system uses a new physical method irrelevant to frequency, and can be used with existing MIMO and CDMA to obtain better communication effects. The circularly polarized light is used for signal transmission, thereby avoiding the problem of channel misalignment caused by the rotation of a platform underwater. At the same time, good polarization maintaining of a marine environment makes the signal characteristics difficult to lose.

Abstract: Osmolality and osmolality sensors and methods utilizing electrochemical impedance to detect changes in impedance to varying salinity concentrations. By way of example, the impedance reported at the specified frequency varies logarithmically with the concentration of sodium chloride subject to the sensor surface. Measurements obtained by the sensors and methods herein are utilized, for example, to differentiate between the clinical stages of dry eye disease (290-316 mOsm/L) to complement the current diagnostic procedures. Blood serum, urinalysis, and saliva also may be tested and the corresponding osmolarity or osmolality level evaluated for indications of a disease or condition.

Abstract: A Java enterprise resource management (JERM) system and methods that implement a work chain are provided that allow both timing metrics and call metrics to be monitored and gathered in real-time, and which can cause appropriate actions to be taken in real-time. The JERM system provides a level of granularity with respect to the monitoring of methods triggered during a transaction that is equivalent to or better than that which is currently provided in the aforementioned known call-analysis resource management systems. In addition, the JERM system also provides information associated with the timing of hops that occur between servers, and between and within applications, during a transaction. Because all of this information is obtained in real-time, the JERM system is able to respond in real-time to cause resources to be scaled in or scaled out in a way that provides improved efficiency and productivity, and that enables the enterprise to quickly recover from resource failures.

Abstract: In a client-server database network having a user-interface layer communicating with a database-interface layer via a middleware communication layer, a method is disclosed for facilitating execution of a user-inputted message. The method includes receiving the user-inputted message from the user-interface layer in the middleware communication layer, and forwarding the received user-inputted message to the database-interface layer based on a predetermined attribute contained in the received user-inputted message. The method further includes executing the forwarded user-inputted message in the database-interface layer based on the predetermined attribute. In this way the involvement of the middleware communication layer in the execution of the user-inputted messages is minimized, thus facilitating the overall execution of the user-inputted messages in the client-server database network.
