  • Patent number: 9933343
    Abstract: The apparatus of the present invention comprises an integrated membrane for separation and preservation of biomolecules. Biomolecules, such as those in blood, can be separated and preserved. The apparatus includes a housing having a matrix portion, and a fluid collection portion disposed within an inner cavity. The housing further includes an aperture permitting access to the inner cavity. The apparatus also includes a matrix disposed within the matrix portion. The matrix includes a first layer for collecting cells from the fluid, a second layer for protein adsorption, and a third layer for nucleic acid adsorption. Fluid enters the housing through the aperture, passes through the matrix, and into the fluid collection portion. Cells from the fluid in a layer of the matrix are collected; adsorbing protein from the fluid in a layer of the matrix; and adsorbing nucleic acid from the fluid in a layer of the matrix.

  • Patent number: 8655480
    Abstract: An automated filler production method includes obtaining gap measurement data by measuring a gap between component parts of a structure, delivering the gap measurement data to a data collector function, monitoring incoming filler requirements, updating solid model definitions of the filler, creating portable Machine Control Data (MCD) using the gap measurement data in the form of the updated solid model, delivering the MCD to a filler machining center and machining a filler from a filler substrate using the MCD, while providing status updates as the data progresses through the filler machining process.

  • Publication number: 20070257329
    Abstract: The present invention is directed towards radiation detectors and methods of detecting incident radiation. In particular the present invention is directed towards photodiodes with controlled current leakage detector structures and a method of manufacturing photodiodes with controlled current leakage detector structures. The photodiodes of the present invention are advantageous in that they have special structures to substantially reduce detection of stray light. Additionally, the present invention gives special emphasis to the design, fabrication, and use of photodiodes with controlled leakage current.

  • Publication number: 20070090394
    Abstract: This invention comprises photodiodes, optionally organized in the form of an array, including p+ deep diffused regions or p+ and n+ deep diffused regions. More specifically, the invention permits one to fabricate thin 4 inch and 6 inch wafer using the physical support provided by a n+ deep diffused layer and/or p+ deep diffused layer. Consequently, the present invention delivers high device performances, such as low crosstalk, low radiation damage, high speed, low leakage dark current, and high speed, using a thin active layer.

  • Publication number: 20060255420
    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a detector structure, detector arrays, a method of detecting incident radiation, and a method of manufacturing the detectors. The present invention comprises several embodiments that provide for reduced radiation damage susceptibility, decreased affects of cross-talk, and increased flexibility in application. In one embodiment, the present invention comprises a plurality of front side illuminated photodiodes, optionally organized in the form of an array, with both the anode and cathode contact pads on the back side. The front side illuminated, back side contact photodiodes have superior performance characteristics, including less radiation damage, less crosstalk using a suction diode, and reliance on reasonably thin wafers. Another advantage of the photodiodes of the present invention is that high density with high bandwidth applications can be effectuated.

  • Publication number: 20050196774
    Abstract: A synthetic nucleic acid sequence is disclosed, comprising a non-naturally occurring polymer of nucleic acids, having a biological function encoded by the sequence and known from a starting nucleic acid sequence, and having a difference in sequence of at least about 5% between the nucleic acids of the synthetic sequence and the starting sequence. The difference between the nucleic acid sequences results in a different free energy of folding for the synthetic sequence as compared to the starting sequence, such that the synthetic sequence would be expressed better in a selected heterologous host cell than the starting sequence would be if expressed in the same heterologous host cell.

  • Patent number: 6366860
    Abstract: A method of making a synthetic nucleic acid sequence comprises providing a starting nucleic acid sequence, which optionally encodes an amino acid sequence, and determining the predicted &Dgr;Gfolding of the sequence. The starting nucleic acid sequence can be a naturally occurring sequence or a non-naturally occurring sequence. The starting nucleic acid sequence is modified by replacing at least one codon from the starting nucleic acid sequence with a different corresponding codon to provide a modified nucleic acid sequence. As used herein, a “different corresponding codon” refers to a codon which does not have the identical nucleotide sequence, but which encodes the identical amino acid. The predicted &Dgr;Gfolding of the modified nucleic acid sequence is determined and compared with the &Dgr;Gfolding of the starting nucleic acid sequence.
