  • Patent number: 11191718
    Abstract: The present invention provides an ophthalmic gel and a preparation method thereof. The ophthalmic gel comprises: an antibiotic; a nanocarrier, wherein the nanocarrier is used to load the antibiotic; and a biodegradable matrix, wherein the biodegradable matrix is compatible with the nanocarrier to carry the nanocarrier. When the ophthalmic gel of the present invention is applied to the surface of the cornea and conjunctiva of the eyes, the biodegradable matrix is automatically degraded and the nanocarrier carried by the biodegradable matrix will slowly release the antibiotic, loaded in the nanocarrier, at an appropriate rate to overcome the high-frequency use of general ophthalmic drugs and easily caused blurred vision; the present invention further comprises an ophthalmic gel preparation method.

  • Patent number: 10218625
    Abstract: Collisions and/or congestion at output ports of switches can be relieved by: (a) receiving a packet; (b) extracting destination information from the packet; (c) looking up, using the extracted destination information, an output port; (d) determining whether to redirect the packet based on a congestion level of a buffer of the output port; (f) when determining to redirect the packet, (1) dispatching the packet to a dedicated reservoir port of the switch, wherein the reservoir port enforces a queue discipline, (2) receiving, by a reservoir, the redirected packet, (3) temporarily buffering, in an internal queue of the reservoir, the redirected packet, and (4) sending the temporarily buffered packet back to the switch. Otherwise, the packet is dispatched to the output port of the switch. Packets sent back to the switch are paced to relieve collisions and congestion at the switch output port.

  • Publication number: 20170289048
    Abstract: The problem of collisions and/or congestion at output ports of switches, especially in shallow-buffered commodity switches, can be solved by: (a) receiving by the switch, a packet; (b) extracting destination information from the packet; (c) looking up, using the extracted destination information, an output port for the packet; (d) determining whether or not to redirect the packet based on a congestion level of a buffer associated with the output port; (f) responsive to a determination to redirect the packet, (1) dispatching the packet to a dedicated reservoir port of the switch, wherein the reservoir port enforces a queue discipline, (2) receiving, by a reservoir, the redirected packet, (3) temporarily buffering, in an internal queue of the reservoir, the received, redirected packet, and (4) sending the temporarily buffered, received, redirected packet back to the switch. Otherwise, responsive to a determination to not redirect the packet, the packet is dispatched to the output port of the switch.

  • Publication number: 20130337434
    Abstract: A method of preparing magnetic bead type nasopharyngeal enzyme immunoassay reagents by polymerase chain reaction according to this invention offers in-vitro diagnostic reagents by means of utilizing nanotechnology. This method uses magnetic beads to coat EBV nuclear antigen (Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen, EBNA1) or early antigen (Early Antigen, EA). The use of polymerase chain reaction (polymerase Chain Reaction PCR) is for amplified detection. It is found that positive controls of different concentrations, after amplified by PCR, change in their brightness and concentration. That reveals the EBV antigens on the magnetic beads can specifically detect IgA antigens in the serum.

  • Patent number: 8492161
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for quantitatively analyzing a functional group on the surface of a solid material. The functional group is carboxylic group while the solid material is carbon nano-tubes. The carboxylic group reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate, thus turning the carboxylic groups into sodium carboxylate while consuming the sodium ions in the solution. The carbon nano-tubes are separated from the sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. The number of the sodium ions before and after the reaction is analyzed. Moreover, the sodium carboxylate carried on the reacted carbon nano-tubes with reacts with hydrochloric acid solution, thus dissolving the sodium ions in the hydrochloric acid solution. The carbon nanotubes are separated from from the hydrochloric acid solution. The amount of the sodium ions is analyzed before and after the reaction in the hydrochloric acid solution.
