Publication number: 20060172318Abstract: The biosensor comprises a modular biorecognition element and a modular flexible arm element. The biorecognition element and the flexible arm element are each labeled with a signaling element. The flexible arm contains an analog of an analyte of interest that binds with the biorecognition element, bringing the two signaling elements in close proximity, which establishes a baseline fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). When an analyte of interest is provided to the biosensor, the analyte will displace the analyte analog, and with it, the signaling module of the modular flexible arm, causing a measurable change in the FRET signal in a analyte concentration dependent manner. The modularity of different portions of the biosensor allows functional flexibility. The biosensor-operates without additional development reagents, requiring only the presence of analyte or target for function.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2005Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventors: Igor Medinz, Ellen Goldman, George Anderson, J. Mauro

Patent number: 5292519Abstract: The use of a starch obtained from a plant source that is homozygous in a white recessive gene, such as white common corn starch, has superior compression and ejection forces compared to commercial disintegrantants/binders. The starch derived from common corn containing the homozygous white recessive gene was also found to have comparable whiteness to commercial bleached corn starches used in tableting.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1992Date of Patent: March 8, 1994Assignee: American Maize Technology, Inc.Inventors: David J. Mauro, Frances L. Turnak

Patent number: 5290493Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for continuously recycling water soluble resin whereby a resin solution including about 6-12 percent by weight of resin is sprayed onto a core made of the resin. The resin used for the solution and core is selected from polyacrylic acid, copolymers of acrylic acid and acrylamide, copolymers of acrylic acid salt and ethyl acrylate, copolymers of acrylamide and acrylic acid, polymethacrylic acid, and copolymers of vinyl alcohol and vinyl acetate. The spraying of the resin solution dissolves the core to form a polymer suspension from which resin is recovered for reuse.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1992Date of Patent: March 1, 1994Assignee: Han Yang Chemical CorporationInventor: James J. Mauro

Patent number: 5207964Abstract: A method for manufacturing a plastic hollow product with complicated geometry using water soluble resin. The method includes the steps of making a half shell of the core out of the water soluble resin, joining the half shells together into a piece by solvent welding, ultrasonic welding, vibration welding, or the like, overmolding the core with water resistant resin, and dissolving the core away from the overmolded product by spraying hot water thereto. The injection conditions such as injection time, injection speed, and injection pressure are varied in the respective zone which is divided into several divisions by same distance in the injection cylinder. Therefore, injection procedure is performed in a stepwise manner to make a hollow product.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 1991Date of Patent: May 4, 1993Inventor: James J. Mauro
