  • Gold coated lanthanide nanoparticles
    Patent number: 9242016
    Abstract: The present invention is directed ?-particle emitting nanoparticles that comprise a lanthanide phosphate sequestration shell enclosing an ?-emitting-radioisotope-doped lanthanide phosphate core such that the shell allows at least some of the ? emissions from the ?-emitting radioisotope to pass therethrough and prevents at least some radioactive decay products of the ?-emitting radioisotope from exiting the ?-particle emitting nanoparticle. Further, such ?-particle emitting nanoparticles may be coated with gold and functionalized. Additionally, a method for making and using the same are disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 3, 2012
    Date of Patent: January 26, 2016
    Assignee: The Curators of the University of Missouri
    Inventors: John David Robertson, Mark F. McLaughlin, Paul H. Pevsner
  • Managing analysis of activity data
    Patent number: 8661062
    Abstract: A method is used in managing analysis of activity data. Activity data is analyzed for a security investigation by using a content bundle. The content bundle specifies a set of actions. The set of actions are performed based on a set of inputs provided to the content bundle. Results of analysis of the activity data is provided in a format based on a set of outputs configured for the content bundle.
