Patent number: 11958048Abstract: A plasmon resonance system, instrument, cartridge, and methods for analysis of analytes is disclosed. A PR system is provided that may include a DMF-LSPR cartridge that may support both digital microfluidic (DMF) capability and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) capability for analysis of analytes. In some examples, the DMF portion of the DMF-LSPR cartridge may include an electrode arrangement for performing droplet operations, whereas the LSPR portion of the DMF-LSPR cartridge may include an LSPR sensor. In other examples, the LSPR portion of the DMF-LSPR cartridge may include an in-line reference channel, wherein the in-line reference channel may be a fluid channel including at least one functionalized LSPR sensor (or sample spot) and at least one non-functionalized LSPR sensor (or reference spot). Additionally, methods of using the PR system for analysis of analytes are provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: National Research Council of CanadaInventors: Ryan Denomme, Lidija Malic, Daniel Brassard, Keith Morton, Teodor Veres

Patent number: 9959834Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include a method and system for the delivery of virtual reality content that enables a more immersive experience to the user by adaptively changing display parameters of virtual reality content using resolution-defined projections. The resolution-defined projections are two-dimensional and virtual reality content agnostic. According to some aspects, the projections can be used to generate virtual reality content images and video that can be encoded and/or compressed for processing and transmission with lower or without increasing bandwidth requirements, and to be perceived of a higher resolution. Additional aspects include, the adaptive focus via the resolution-defined projections using the user's viewing direction and/or orientation, optimization data from a feedback loop and/or crowdsourcing data.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2016Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: Immersive Enterprises, LLCInventors: Charles Dunn, Taher Baderkhan, Vincent Machacek, Husam Aldalaq, Juan Ferreira, Daniel Morton, Moshe Ben-Zacharia

Publication number: 20050258638Abstract: A book owner is given an offer or incentive to alter a book in a way that will minimize and, ideally, eliminate the potential for resale. In the preferred embodiment, the cover of the book includes a mail-in card associated with a sweepstakes, such that by cutting out the card and entering into the drawing, the user effectively relinquishes the ability to resell the book. As opposed to removing the cover, or a portion of the cover, alternative embodiments include sending in one or more pages of the book, either as part of a chapter or randomly extracted, or otherwise altering the text so as to dramatically minimize or eliminate its resale value.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2004Publication date: November 24, 2005Inventor: Daniel Morton
