Abstract: Water soluble graphene oxide nanoparticles (GO) are provided having graphene sheets containing carboxylic and hydroxyl groups. The diameter of the GO when present in a closed form range from about 40 nm to 120 nm. Eco-friendly methods are provided for producing the GO. Methods for reversible encapsulation of a molecule within water soluble carbon nanoparticles (wsCNP) including the GO nanoparticles are provided that allow for delivery of the wsCNP loaded with therapeutic and/or imaging agents to a subject in need by releasing the therapeutic/imaging agent upon an increase in pH above about 7.2. The wsCNP have been shown to cross the blood brain barrier in a mouse model of vascular dementia, and methods are provided for delivering the wsCNP loaded with a therapeutic and/or imaging molecule to the brain.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for transferring blood donation files are disclosed. An example system includes a collection device located at a blood donation site and a collection server located in a remote location. The example collection device is configured to store blood donation information from blood donors within a blood donation batch file located at a designated directory of a memory, and store metadata related to the blood donation information to the blood donation batch file. The example collection device also transmits the blood donation batch file to a registered user device. The example collection server is configured to determine the registered user device is available via a network connection. Responsive to determining the user device is connected, the collection server acquires the blood donation batch file from the user device and aggregates the blood donation batch file with blood donation batch files received from other registered user devices.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the water soluble self fluorescent quantum carbon dots (C-dots). These C-dots are isolated from carbon soot in one embodiment a wax soot solvent washed and isolated from other larger material by filtration such as by membrane filtration. The C-dots can be varied in their color by change of their size and by the amount of oxidative groups' position on each C-dot.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the method of producing concentric carbon nanospheres from the pyrolytic combustion of a carbonaceous material such as plant material. The material can be carboxylated and then optionally metallated to produce nanospheres capable of filtering a liquid such as water.

Abstract: The present invention relates to water soluble carbon nano tubes (WSNT) which have been made function by functionalizing with carboxylic acid groups. The carbon nano tubes are isolated from hydrocarbon wax soot and then functionalized by oxidation treatment with an oxidizing agent. The WSNT can contain a pharmaceutical composition for release by a biological degradation agent of the WSNT for example E coli.
