  • Patent number: 10379195
    Abstract: An optical system comprises a pair of Risley prisms positioned along an optical axis to receive a light beam from a field of view, wherein at least one of the Risley prisms is rotatable, transverse to the optical axis, with respect to the other of the Risley prisms. At least one lens is positioned along the optical axis to receive the light beam from the pair of Risley prisms, with the at least one lens configured to focus the light beam. An optical detector array is positioned along the optical axis at an image plane, wherein the optical detector array receives the focused light beam on the image plane from the at least one lens. The optical system can be implemented as a light beam steering mechanism in a star tracker or celestial aided inertial navigation unit.

  • Publication number: 20190241976
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for detecting and targeting genomic rearrangements, in particular gene fusion events, by targeting a DNA molecule of interest with a set or pool of primers, wherein the forward primers and reverse primers produce a PCR amplification product when a genomic rearrangement is present. The present disclosure also relates to methods of bioinformatic analysis to determine whether or not the detection of an amplification product from the selective PCR is actually indicative of the presence of a gene fusion. The present disclosure also related to related methods of diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions associated with such genomic rearrangements, in particular cancers, such as lung cancer.
