Abstract: The invention encompasses a real time, point of care, diagnostic system, including a lateral flow test cassette, a data reader, and an application for processing test results and methods of diagnosis of a disease or virus.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses a diagnostic test and method to authenticate the veracity of a vaccine. The diagnostic test and method are especially useful in a specific and sensitive immunochromatographic (“ICT”) assay, performable within about 15 minutes, for the authentication, validation, and veracity of a vaccine in a vial prior to administration to a human, such as a COVID-19 vaccine.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus, including a program encoded on computer-readable medium, for displaying health status information on a display of a mobile device and detecting encoded data on the mobile device using an image sensor. The encoded data includes a reference to a digital token previously stored in a distributed ledger to record at least one health-related event associated with the displayed health status information. A serialized representation of the detected encoded data is transmitted to a server system. The server system is adapted to retrieve corresponding health status information and authenticate the retrieved health status information based on the digital token. A communication is received from the server system providing verification of the health status information.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus and techniques for authenticating objects includes applying quantum dots to an object, wherein the quantum dots have an identified spectral response pattern, and recording data associating the object and the identified spectral response pattern.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a multi-component protective and thermally insulative barrier structure that may be retrofitted to pipelines and other physical structures. In one or more embodiments, the invention comprises a multi-component protective blanket or “wrap” that is used to encase a pipeline. In one or more embodiments, the “wrap” comprises three components: a reinforced polymer outer layer for intercepting ballistic ordnance and causing it to detonate, a layer of thermally insulating, blast mitigating material for both stabilizing the temperature with the pipeline during normal operation and for dispersing into and disrupting the blast flame front when detonation and breach of the outer layer occurs, and a reinforced multi-layer inner layer that is intended to prevent ordnance fragments from penetrating to the pipeline itself. In one or more embodiments, the outer layer is attached to circular stand-off ribs that are attached at intervals along the pipeline.

Abstract: A turret is rotatably mounted to the roof of a vehicle such as a HMMWV and provides ballistic protection to an individual inside. The turret wall has one or more layers of ceramic tiles set in a polymer resin reinforced with nanoparticles. A nonwoven material backs the ceramic layers to spread an impact over a larger surface area. A laminated multiply nanofiber textile layer is in back of the ceramic layers to stop fragments form penetrating through the turret wall. The nanofiber textile plies are laminated together with resin reinforced by carbon nanofibers or nanotubes.

Abstract: A cigarette is equipped with a filter incorporating nanofibers. The nanofibers can be used either alone or in conjunction with other filtering media such as larger fibers, paper, activated charcoal, etc. With a nanofiber filter, the filter need not be as dense as the molecules of the smoke become attracted to the nanofiber due to quantum mechanics instead of being sieved out. The efficacy of the filter is better than filters with larger diameter fibers.
