Eric A. Drier has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Microscope stability using a single optical path and image detector
    Patent number: 9019363
    Abstract: Stabilization, via active-feedback positional drift-correction, of an optical microscope imaging system in up to 3-dimensions is achieved using the optical measurement path of an image sensor. Nanometer-scale stability of the imaging system is accomplished by correcting for positional drift using fiduciary references sparsely distributed within or in proximity to the experimental sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 24, 2012
    Date of Patent: April 28, 2015
    Assignee: Mad City Labs, Inc.
    Inventors: James F. MacKay, William O'Brien, Eric A. Drier

  • Alleviation of the memory deficits and memory components of psychiatric dysfunctions by altering atypical PKM activity
    Patent number: 7378090
    Abstract: Methods have been developed for alleviating memory problems or psychiatric dysfunctions that have a memory formation component. These methods are based on the finding that a truncated form of an aPKC? protein is intimately involved in memory formation in animals. This finding is also central to methods for determining drugs that will have an effect on memory formation or the memory formation component of psychiatric dysfunctions.
