  • Biomarker panel for non-invasive diagnosis of congenital renal dysfunction
    Patent number: 11940450
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for prognosing or diagnosing an obstructive renal dysfunction or ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in a subject, involving detecting in a urine sample from a subject one or more proteins selected from the group consisting of Immunoglobulin superfamily containing leucine-rich repeat protein (ISLR); Nicotinate-nucleotide pyrophosphorylase [carboxylating] (QPRT); Prostaglandin reductase 1 (PTGR1); Vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM1); and Ficolin-2 (FCN2), or detectable portions thereof to identify the subject as at risk of or having an obstructive renal dysfunction or UPJO.
    Type: Grant

  • Method to determine properties of a coating on a transparent film, method for manufacturing a capacitor film and device to determine properties of a coating on a transparent film
    Patent number: 11703319
    Abstract: A method for determining properties of a coating on a transparent film, a method for manufacturing a capacitor film and a device configured to determine properties of a coating on a transparent film are disclosed. In an embodiment a method includes moving the transparent film with the coating on a path which passes between a light source and a sensor, illuminating, by the light source, the coating on the transparent film, detecting, by the sensor, an intensity of transmitted light from the light source and calculating, by a processor, the properties of the coating on the transparent film based on the detected intensity of transmitted light.
