Test and Measurement

A compound that inhibits mycotoxin production, specifically, aflatoxin and deoxynivalenol (DON), for use as a post-harvest treatment for seeds, nuts and grains. A screening test for compounds that inhibit mycotoxin production, for the identification and development of new anti-mycotoxin compounds.

A novel gene whose expression promotes differentiation of myeloid progenitor cells into neutrophils and/or monocytes/macrophages for use in cancer diagnostic or therapeutic development.

Control system to optimize laser source in MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry providing improved efficiency to the proteomics and drug discovery industries.

This invention provides a method and handheld device for rapidly detecting microorganisms based upon a change of impedance as a result of the microorganism being bound between spaced interdigitated electrodes.

Rapid methods for detecting a nucleic acid's methylation status, which include endonucleases, PCR, and capillary electrophoresis, for use in diagnostic tests and therapeutic drug development.

This technology describes a method for separating and enriching phosphorylated proteins and peptides from complex mixtures of cellular or tissue extracts.

Method for creating permalloy films with unique magnetic properties for use in MRAM and magnetic sensor applications.

This invention provides a software-based method and apparatus for highly accurate predictions,on a continuous and automatic basis, of cardiac output and left atrial blood pressures, an innovation that promises significantly improved treatment for cardiac patients. The above predictions are obtained by mathematically analyzing blood pressure readings routinely obtained in the hospital through use of catheters.

An improved ability of microprobe tips to manipulate small objects is obtained by piezoelectric tips that resist bending as they encounter such objects.

This invention provides a single-strand DNA-polypyrrole based biosensor for the detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli), using synthetic oligonucleotides as a model of rapid detection of bacterial select bioterrorism agents.
