Abstract: A domain management system that manages domain names, network addresses, and other aspects of a computing network domain is provided. The domain management system obtains domain data, such as domain name system (“DNS”) records, from any number of network-accessible providers of the domain data, such as DNS servers. The domain management system can store, transform, and synchronize the domain data among the network-accessible providers, even if the network-accessible providers do not all use or recognize the same format and/or content of domain data.

Abstract: A device comprising a modified porous membrane is provided. The modified porous membrane comprises a polymer coating grafted to a porous membrane. The device is used for analyte detection from a biological sample using an immunoassay. The device comprises a sample application zone at one end of the device for applying a biological sample comprising a target analyte; and a detection zone present at another end of the device, downstream of the sample application zone for detecting the target analyte, wherein the detection zone comprises one or more first biomolecules immobilized on a modified porous membrane having a structure of Formula (I).

Abstract: An electrospinning approach is disclosed for generating a dissolvable formulation of a reagent of interest in a nanoscale fiber medium. In one embodiment, the nanoscale fibers can incorporate and stabilize biological agents of interest, such as for storage at room temperature for extended periods. In one implementation, the fibers can be produced in a continuous manner and dissolve rapidly.
