Publication number: 20220354403Abstract: A method for measuring a glomerular filtration rate in a mammalian kidney comprises a source of reporter and marker fluorescent molecules. The fluorescent molecules are introduced into the blood stream of a mammalian subject. Over a period of time, a measurement of the intensities of the reporter and marker fluorescent molecules is taken. A ratio is calculated to determine the health of the subject's kidney. This method measures volume of plasma distribution based on a fluorescence of a marker molecule relative to a fluorescence of a reporter molecule.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Exing Wang, Daniel Meier, Robert Bunch, Bruce Molitoris, Ruben Sandoval, Matthew Rubin

Patent number: 6327791Abstract: A position detector for sensing the position of a movable member which moves along an axis relative to a stationary member. A nonrepeating N bit chain code embodied in a scale on the movable member runs along the axis. A detector fixed to the stationary member is positioned to sense a portion of the chain code. The detector has K elements (K>>N) generating a plurality of signals. A controller determines the position of the movable member relative to the stationary member as a function of the signals.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2000Date of Patent: December 11, 2001Assignees: The Government of the United States as represented by the Secretary of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and TechnologyInventors: Richard J. Norcross, David P. Engvall, W. Robert Bunch
