  • Thermotherapy via targeted delivery of nanoscale magnetic particles
    Patent number: 6997863
    Abstract: Disclosed are therapeutic methods for the treatment of disease material involving administration of a thermotherapeutic magnetic composition, which contains single-domain magnetic particles attached to a target-specific ligand, to a patient and application of an alternating magnetic field to inductively heat the thermotherapeutic magnetic composition. Also disclosed are methods of administering the thermotherapeutic magnetic material composition. The thermotherapeutic methods may be used where the predetermined target is associated with diseases, such as cancer, diseases of the immune system, and pathogen-borne diseases, and undesirable targets, such as toxins, reactions associated with organ transplants, hormone-related diseases, and non-cancerous diseased cells or tissue.

  • Solid state light-emitting device
    Patent number: 6548836
    Abstract: A solid state light-emitting device having a high maximum luminance, a high external efficiency, and a low operating voltage is described. The device can include a solid layer, a first inert electrode, and a second inert electrode. The solid layer includes a metal complex and has a first surface and a second surface. The first inert electrode contacts the first surface of the solid layer. The second inert electrode contacts the second surface of the solid layer. The device can have a luminance of at least 50 cd/m2 at a potential of between 2.5 and 5.0 V.
