Abstract: Examples of biomimetic codecs and biomimetic coding techniques are described herein. Morphologically-adaptive coding networks can be developed in accordance with energy dissipation driven “heat” generated by application of training data. The morphologically-adaptive coding networks may be representative of common features expected in an input signal or data stream. Decoding may proceed using the morphologically-adaptive coding network. Morphologically-adaptive coding networks may be used as a cortex that can be shared for boosting multimedia data compression rates and/or increasing the encode-decode fidelity of information content while the features remain queryable in encoded form. Examples of the biomimetic codecs and biomimetic coding techniques provide a broad-based technology platform that can be used in context-IDed multimedia storage, pattern recognition, and high-performance computing/big data management, the hallmarks of web- and cloud-based systems.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for their use in treating dental disorders, whitening teeth, restoring and retaining the tooth structure and restoring the mineral content of the tooth-mineral loss due to demineralization, wherein the compositions include a first formulation that includes a polypeptide effective to treat a dental disorder and/or whiten teeth, and one or more further formulations including at least one calcium ion source and/or at least one phosphate ion source, wherein the first formulation is configured to release the polypeptide more rapidly than Ca2+ is released from the at least one calcium ion source and PO43? is released from the at least one phosphate ion source.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and systems for designing polypeptides with specific affinities for particular substrates and substances, including inorganic substrates, surfaces, and substances. One method embodiment of the present invention includes identifying an initial set of polypeptide candidates, characterizing the initial candidates with respect to desired affinities and/or other physical and chemical characteristics, and using those characterizations for developing and refining a polypeptide-scoring function that can then be applied to computationally generated polypeptide sequences in order to identify additional candidate polypeptide sequences.

Abstract: Composites of ceramic and metal exhibiting high fracture strength and toughness are formed from layers of the ceramic that have unequal concentrations and unequal porosity. The composites are made by a process that involves arranging layers of the ceramic in a predetermined pattern to provide a body that can be fully infiltrated by the metal.
