Abstract: Nucleic acid mutation associated with specific cancers can be targeted using a CRISPR detector with a special mRNA pay load containing instructions for the target cell to express a universal cancer antigen.

Abstract: A self-contained business transaction capsule to conduct a wireless transaction includes data regarding the wireless transaction. Transaction logic is provided to complete the wireless transaction. The self-contained business transaction capsule is adapted to be broadcasted to and stored on a portable electronic device.

Abstract: A method of executing programmable instructions includes receiving at a device a mobile agent from a mobile agent dispatching device. The mobile agent includes a state of a virtual machine. The method also includes executing at the device one or more instructions identified by the mobile agent, thereby changing the state of the virtual machine.

Abstract: A method for executing operations on a device includes executing one or more bytecode language instructions associated with a mobile agent. The mobile agent includes a state of a virtual machine and the bytecode language includes instructions such WARP, MESG; ESEL, ALERT, BROWSE, CAPS, SLEEP, and GPS.

Abstract: The invention is achieved by using single or multiple laser sources (laser diodes) in a configuration such that when it is coupled with a dichroic substrate the laser sources outputs are coupled to produce a single desired output. The dismounted soldiers in the Department of Defense are overloaded with equipment they must carry into the combat environment. Due to many advancements in laser technology, laser devices have been produced to enhance the soldiers' war fighting capability or to provide them with realistic training aids. Unfortunately, these devices have separate housings, controls, power supplies, controls, laser sources and optics which leads to an undesired weight, space and power claims. The present invention consolidates multiple laser functions for the dismounted soldier into a single package with shared power supplies, optics and laser sources thus, minimizing the claim on weight, space, and power.

Abstract: An improvement in a single-shot laser rangefinder having a photo-detector for detecting return laser pulse signals, a signal amplifier for amplifying the return laser pulse signals, and a range processor for determining the range of a reflecting object from the round trip time of flight of the return laser pulse signals. The difference in time at which the strongest laser pulse signal crosses the threshold for detection and the weakest laser pulse signal crosses the threshold for detection causes a timing error in the measured range.
