  • Patent number: 10538486
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydroxamic acid-based contrast agent containing an isotope of fluorine, which comprises a compound having a structure of Formula (III): wherein R1 represents radioactive fluorine-18 (18F) or isotope fluorine-19 (19F), and R2 represents hydroxyamine —(NH)OH. The hydroxamic acid-based contrast agent containing an isotope of fluorine provided in the present invention has the capability of selectively inhibiting histone deacetylase (HDAC) subtypes 8/6/3, and specifically targets to the focus of spinocerebellar ataxia with over-activation of HDAC. By labeling with the radioisotope fluorine-18, a positron emission tomography (PET) image is obtained with the hydroxamic acid-based contrast agent containing radioisotope fluorine-18, whereby spinocerebellar ataxia is effectively detected.

  • Patent number: 9873874
    Abstract: The invention discloses a high-yield method for preparing a ribonucleic acid (RNA)-diethyltriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) conjugate. The conjugate is prepared by conjugating a RNA or locked nucleic acid (LNA) having an amino group to p-isothiocyanate benzyl-DTPA (SCN-Bn-DTPA) or DTPA anhydride with heating under microwave.

  • Patent number: 9140671
    Abstract: A quantitative sensor and manufacture method thereof are disclosed. This quantitative sensor has a dual-mode film bulk acoustic resonator structure to achieve desirable performances in sensitivity, accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, this quantitative sensor serves as a fluid sensor when a fluid detection metal layer is formed in a sample-receiving chamber; and this quantitative sensor may also serve as a bio sensor when biocompatible metal layer and a bio-sensing layer are formed in the sample-receiving chamber instead of the fluid detection metal layer.

  • Patent number: 8957654
    Abstract: A monitoring method with a function of correlation-based system identification applicable for a digitally controlled DC-DC converter system is revealed. The monitoring method includes a plurality of steps. After the system is operated in a steady state, input a pseudo random binary sequence signal into the system via a pseudo random binary sequence generator and store the pseudo random binary sequence signal and an output signal of a path to be monitored in a memory unit. Then perform a correlation analysis of data stored in the memory unit by a correlation analysis module and output an impulse response. Next obtain a frequency response of the impulse response by a discrete-time Fourier transform module. Finally, smooth the frequency response by an adaptive sliding window smoothing module so that a monitoring curve of the frequency response becomes smooth.
