  • Publication number: 20240076732
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods and composition for immune repertoire sequencing and single cell barcoding. The methods and compositions can be used to pair any two sequences originating from a single cell, such as heavy and light chain antibody sequences, alpha and beta chain T-cell receptor sequences, or gamma and delta chain T-cell receptor sequences, for antibody and T-cell receptor discovery, disease and immune diagnostics, and low error sequencing.

  • Patent number: 8921789
    Abstract: A tunable metamaterial structure, comprises a flexible substrate capable of being strained, a metamaterial pattern on a surface of the flexible substrate, and a metal layer on the metamaterial pattern. The flexible substrate of the tunable metamaterial structure is a strained and relaxed substrate which has been strained to a degree sufficient to register a resonant response upon relaxation that is shifted relative to the resonant response of the flexible substrate prior to being strained. The application of strain to the flexible substrate of the metamaterial structure enables tuning of the resonant frequency.

  • Patent number: 8749866
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for modulating light of a wavelength of interest. The modulator assembly includes a plasmonic layer that supports surface plasmon polaritons at the wavelength of interest and a layer of solid-state phase change material having a first phase in which it is substantially transparent to light of the wavelength of interest and a second phase in which it is substantially opaque to light of the wavelength of interest. A control mechanism is configured to alter the phase of the solid-state phase change material between the first phase and the second phase. Each of the plasmonic layer and the layer of solid-state phase change material are configured as to provide a plasmonic mode of transmission for light of the wavelength of interest.
