Patent number: 10883921Abstract: In the operation of analytical devices, and particularly laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) devices, a number of advantages may be obtained by the use of complementary safety mechanisms, such as those that govern the operation or firing of a laser. Such complementary safety mechanisms, compared to the individual safety mechanisms acting alone, prevent operation of the laser under a greater number of unsafe circumstances (even if one or more detected conditions are safe, based on not activating the associated safety mechanism) and permits operation under a greater number of safe circumstances (even if one or more detected conditions are unsafe, based on activating the associated safety mechanism).Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Thermo Scientific Portable Analytical Instruments Inc.Inventors: Michael Bush, Eric A. Martin, David Perez, Michael Hargreaves, Lin Zhang, Xiaofeng Tan

Patent number: 10100317Abstract: A method for treating and/or diagnosing pain and the source or type of pain, shock, and/or inflammatory conditions in a subject. A method of using a therapeutically effective amount of a DNA or RNA aptamer that shows high affinity for OLAMs to at least partially treat pain, shock, and/or inflammatory conditions in a subject. The DNA or RNA aptamer that shows high affinity for OLAMs may be coupled to a plasma protein binding compound or a pharmacologically active agent. A method of treating and or diagnosing pain, shock, and/or inflammatory conditions in a subject may include inactivating or preventing at least one linoleic acid metabolite to treat certain conditions (e.g., pain, shock, and/or inflammation) using a DNA or RNA aptamer that shows high affinity for OLAMs.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2017Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Board of Regents of the University of Texas SystemInventors: Kenneth Michael Hargreaves, John Gordon Bruno
