  • Publication number: 20140207440
    Abstract: A method is implemented at a computer to determine that certain information content is composed or compiled in a specific language selected among two or more similar languages. The computer integrates a first vocabulary list of a first language and a second vocabulary list of a second language into a comprehensive vocabulary list. The integrating includes analyzing the first vocabulary list in view of the second vocabulary list to identify a first vocabulary sub-list that is used in the first language, but not in the second language. The computer then identifies, in the information content, a plurality of expressions that are included in the comprehensive vocabulary list, and a subset of expressions that are included in the first vocabulary sub-list. Upon a determination that a total frequency of occurrence of the subset of expressions meets predetermined occurrence criteria, the computer determines that the information content is composed in the first language.

  • Patent number: 8685743
    Abstract: A nanoplasmonic resonator (NPR) comprising a metallic nanodisk with alternating shielding layer(s), having a tagged biomolecule conjugated or tethered to the surface of the nanoplasmonic resonator for highly sensitive measurement of enzymatic activity. NPRs enhance Raman signals in a highly reproducible manner, enabling fast detection of protease and enzyme activity, such as Prostate Specific Antigen (paPSA), in real-time, at picomolar sensitivity levels. Experiments on extracellular fluid (ECF) from paPSA-positive cells demonstrate specific detection in a complex bio-fluid background in real-time single-step detection in very small sample volumes.
