Publication number: 20240401113Abstract: To overcome the limitations of existing methods for detecting short nucleic acid molecules of low abundance such as miRNA, the present inventors provide a non-enzymatic signal amplification method based on inverse molecular sentinel (iMS) nanoprobes to improve detection sensitivity. The method is based on a cascade toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement reaction triggered by a “linear” DNA strand called “Recycling Trigger Probe” (RTP) strand. In the method, iMS-OFF nanoprobes are incubated with targets and RTP strands. After turning on the first nanoprobe, the target undergoes a recycling process triggered by the RTP strands. This process allows the target to turn on more iMS nanoprobes and provide an amplified SERS signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Tuan Vo-Dinh, Hsin-Neng Wang

Publication number: 20240397460Abstract: A system and a method are provided for optimizing application of timing advance command (TAC) mechanism in a Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) non-terrestrial network (NTN) system utilizes a timing advance (TA) estimation restriction duration. After one operation of a timing advance (TA) estimation resulting in issuing of an initial TAC, the gNB ignores the results of new TA estimations until specified X seconds after the initial TAC is sent. TA estimation restriction duration refers to the time duration between the initial TA estimation and X seconds after the initial TAC. The value of X is specified such that X represents the minimum duration starting from the transmission of the first TAC in which any received NPUSCH within this duration is not based on a new TAC. By applying the TA estimation restriction duration, multiple corrections of the same TA error are prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2024Publication date: November 28, 2024Applicant: Mavenir Systems, Inc.Inventors: Sina Khoshabi Nobar, Neng Wang
