  • Air filters with functionalized nanotube compositions to control pathogens such as SARS CoV-2 (coronavirus)
    Patent number: 10919020
    Abstract: Nanotube compositions may be employed in many different forms alone, and/or with surfactants, with antiviral metals, with antigens, and/or with various drugs to control pathogens like viruses e.g., SARS COVID-2, bacteria, mold, fungi, chemical or biological agents etc in masks or other personal protection equipment. The personal protection equipment such as masks reduce, control, absorb, deactivate, detoxify, and/or kill the pathogens such that a pathogen or pathogens deleterious effects are reduced and/or eliminated to a user of the mask.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for liquid handling parameters optimization
    Publication number: 20020076818
    Abstract: A system and method for optimizing liquid-handling parameters for liquid-handling instruments based on automated use of Design of Experiments principles. An automated factor screening experiment generates a fractional factorial design, creates a set of liquid classes, directs a pipetting control program to execute a worklist of pipetting commands, and performs an effects analysis to determine the factors affecting pipetting precision. An automated response surface methodology experiment based on a central composite experimental design is used to determine the optimal level of factors affecting precision of pipetting. An automated range-finding experiment determines the useful volume range of the liquid class so developed. An automated accuracy calibration experiment generates a calibration coefficient for the liquid class. An automated liquid class verification experiment then evaluates the precision and accuracy of the liquid class.
