Publication number: 20220167869Abstract: Systems and methods described herein use near field communications to locate a radiating transponder, such as a pill swallowed by a patient. The system can be triggered to turn on and transmit a waveform to a set of antennas attached to, coupled with, or near the patient. The magnetic field emitted by the transponder can be measured by the receiving antennas, for example, using principles of mutual inductance. The differential phase and/or time shifts between the antennas can contain sufficient information to find the location of the transponder and optionally its orientation relative to body coordinates. The system can display the location and/or orientation of the transponder. Further, the pill can include a reservoir to deliver a payload at a particular site of the patient's body based at least in part on the determined location.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2021Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventors: Thomas Eugene Old, John Christopher Baker, Neal J.

Patent number: 11247205Abstract: Surface-modified glass and polymer membrane interfaces form high-electrical resistance seals that can be used in microfluidic valves and array devices tailored for electrophysiological measurements. The incorporation of high seal resistance valves into the array device allows only the desired electrophysiological signal to be detected by a patch clamp amplifier, enabling parallel experiments with one patch clamp amplifier, which can greatly improve the cost efficiency. To achieve the desired high seal resistance, surface modification was performed on the glass components to increase the interaction between the glass and the membrane surfaces. The valves exhibit seal resistance of >500 G? after modification, which is 100× higher than reported for unmodified valves.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2018Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: ARIZONA BOARD OF REGENTS ON BEHALF OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONAInventors: Xuemin Wang, Christopher Baker, Craig A.

Publication number: 20210088509Abstract: Surface-modified silica microparticles that are functionalized with stabilized phospholipid vesicles are described herein. These stabilized vesicles can be functionalized with either transmembrane receptors or membrane associated receptors and used for affinity pull-down assays or other chromatographic separation modalities to provide affinity capture/concentration of low abundance ligands in complex mixtures with minimal sample preparation. Further described are methods and apparatus for forming polymer frits in a fused silica capillary. The capillary containing a monomer solution is placed between one or more heat sources connected to each other via a jig and operatively coupled to a temperature controller. The polymer frits are synthesized via thermal polymerization of the monomer solution using the heat sources, which allows for placement of the polymer frits at a spatially-defined location in the capillary.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2020Publication date: March 25, 2021Inventors: Craig A.

Patent number: 10805184Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for analyzing and managing time series workload data are provided. Example embodiments provide a Data Management and Analysis platform that enables end users to modernize their system configurations to incorporate external services techniques, such as cloud technologies, and to utilize virtualization technologies to host some of their functions in a manner that improves the overall performance of their configurations. This may be particularly useful in an IT environment with many interdependent systems where it is hard to analyze and determine where externally hosted or hybrid (e.g., both remote and local) systems might improve the overall delivery of services and cost to end users.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2016Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Theodore A.
