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

A procedure for the copolymerization of 1,4-dioxan-2-one and a cyclic ester that involves reactive continuous extrusion and an organometallic polymerization agent (catalyst or initiator).

The invention combines an improved ceramic membrane filter for water filtration along with an ozone degradation step, reducing fouling at the membrane surface, killing microorganisms and breaking down bonds in organic material in the untreated water, with resulting cost savings.

Propagation models of worms in mobile ad hoc networks are provided. These models can be used in the design of systems for detecting new, previously unknown, worms in these networks.

An artificial nano-layered silicate with high surface area per unit volume provides high chemical reactivity applicable for applications in catalysis, adsorption, nanocomposites, and water purification.

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.

This invention provides a transgenic method for protecting plant from herbivorous insects by causing over expression of a protein that is harmful to the insects when ingested.

This invention is a method of providing plants with protection against insects and weeds by causing over expression of arginase.

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

A piezoelectric film deposited on a micro-cantilever atomic force microscope (AFM) probe tip enables the cantilever to remain fully extended, with improved sensing and manipulation of nano-objects.
