  • Patent number: 9442046
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to devices, solutions and methods for collecting and processing samples of bodily fluids containing cells (as well as embodiments for the collection, and processing and/or analysis of other fluids including toxic and/or hazardous substances/fluids). In addition, the disclosure relates generally to function genomic studies and to the isolation and preservation of cells from saliva and other bodily fluids (e.g., urine), for cellular analysis. With respect to devices for collection of bodily fluids, some embodiments include two mating bodies, a cap and a tube (for example), where, in some embodiments, the cap includes a closed interior space for holding a sample preservative solution and mates with the tube to constitute the (closed) sample collection device. Upon mating, the preservation solution flows into the closed interior space to preserve cells in the bodily fluid. The tube is configured to receive a donor sample of bodily fluid (e.g.

  • Patent number: 9423433
    Abstract: An RF electronics module includes a grounding plate, a non-conductive substrate, a number of conductive vias, RF PA circuitry, and RF power detection circuitry. The non-conductive substrate is over the grounding plate. The conductive vias extend parallel to one another from a surface of the non-conductive substrate opposite the grounding plate through the non-conductive substrate to the grounding plate. The RF PA circuitry is coupled to the grounding plate through a first one of the conductive vias. The RF power detection circuitry is coupled to a second one of the conductive vias and configured to measure a signal induced in the second one of the conductive vias due to electromagnetic coupling with the first one of conductive vias. The first one of the conductive vias is adjacent to the second one of the conductive vias.

  • Patent number: 9342431
    Abstract: A technique to generically manage extensible correlation data is provided for correlating a series of events. The technique employs a global unique identifier (GUID) for identifying an event and uses the GUID as a key to associate one or more extensible correlators of correlation data. A transport correlator may be configured to transport the GUID for associating with a GUID of a second event such that a small and fixed amount of data is passed by the communications layer providing the transport, minimally impacting communications. An arbitrary amount of data may be logged and keyed with the GUID, providing optimization and flexibility.
