  • Patent number: 12292407
    Abstract: Provided is a method for monitoring a change of ion strength in a sample solution by a closed-loop device that provides continuous cycling of electrochemical pH modulation between pre-defined pH values. In particular, the change of ion strength may be induced by a chemical reaction and may ultimately alter the electrical control parameters of the closed-loop device. By measuring such electrical control parameters, the degree and progress of the underlying chemical reaction may be monitored.

  • Patent number: 12293677
    Abstract: An aircraft cockpit training simulator includes a plurality of aircraft cockpit simulation panels and power over Ethernet (POE) cabling extending therebetween. Each panel includes a simulator user interface device, an input circuit or an output circuit, a POE interface circuit, and a distributed controller coupled to the input circuit or output circuit and POE interface device and asynchronously communicating with other controllers using a publish/subscribe protocol. A host controller is coupled to the distributed controllers via the POE cabling and operates the aircraft cockpit simulation panels using a host computer model. The distributed controllers may operate independent of the host computer model.

  • Publication number: 20250137033
    Abstract: Methods for leveraging the charged nature of DNA to promote DNA extension and manipulate its orientation are provided. The methods include attaching highly charged molecules to a free end of a DNA molecule to transform the DNA molecule into a pseudo dipole. Upon applying an external electric field, the charge separation may cause the DNA to extend and/or to align with the electric field lines. This approach offers a practical means to achieve a controlled, unfolded state of DNA with a predetermined orientation.

  • Publication number: 20250061045
    Abstract: Aspects of the technology provide a software testing framework that can significantly reduce hardware resources needed to validate code modules. This may include employing a hardware emulator capable of instrumenting binaries to produce a trace of operations performed by a given program. The trace of operations performed by the given program may be mapped to representative profiles of operations benchmarked on a hardware system corresponding to the hardware emulated by the hardware emulator. The representative profile may contain sets of representative operations previously performed on the hardware. The mapping may allow for estimates on performance metrics of the given program (e.g., efficacy and/or speed) when run on the hardware. Such estimates may allow for the identification of operations that cause the given program to run inefficiently or slowly on the hardware.

    Abstract: A method for detecting an amount of an analyte in a solution includes providing an assay chamber including an electrode positioned at a first end of the assay chamber and a capture molecule attached to the electrode via a linker. A solution including an analyte, a binding partner of the analyte, at least one electrochemically active agent, and a detecting probe having a signaling tag attached thereto may be provided to the assay chamber. An electrical signal may be applied to the electrode to change the pH of the solution in the area near the electrode. The analyte may bind to the capture molecule and to the detecting probe at the first end of the assay chamber at the new pH. A signal produced by the signaling tag at the first end of the assay chamber may be measured to calculate the amount of the analyte in the solution.

  • Publication number: 20240211912
    Abstract: A first host device housing is provided with a host device and first peripherals. The host device includes a motherboard and an upper core Input/Output (I/O) control board connected to the motherboard within the host device housing. A non-host device housing includes second peripherals and a lower core I/O control board. The host device housing is removably attachable to the non-host device housing to form a modular terminal. The second peripherals are interfaced to the host device through a cable that connects the lower core I/O control board to the upper core I/O control board. Combinations of the host device housing and a selected non-host device housing form different configurations of a modular terminal. Features available to a given configuration of the modular terminal are driven by the first peripherals and the second peripherals.
