Microplate thermal shift assay for ligand development and multi-variable protein chemistry optimization

The present invention is a method for ranking the affinity of each of a multiplicity of different molecules for a target molecule which is capable of denaturing due to a thermal change. The method comprises contacting the target molecule with one molecule of the multiplicity of different molecules in each of a multiplicity of containers, simultaneously heating the multiplicity of containers, measuring in each of the containers a physical change associated with the thermal denaturation of the target molecule resulting from the heating in each of the containers, generating a thermal denaturation curve for the target molecule as a function of temperature for each of the containers and determining a midpoint temperature (T.sub.m) therefrom, comparing the T.sub.m of each of the thermal denaturation curves with the T.sub.m of a thermal denaturation curve obtained for the target molecule in the absence of any of the molecules in the multiplicity of different molecules, and ranking the affinities of the multiplicity of different molecules according the change in T.sub.m of each of the thermal denaturation curves.

Reslution optical & ultrasound devices for imaging and treatment of body lumens

A rotationally vibrating imaging catheter and method of utilization has an array of ultrasound or optical transducers and an actuator along with signal processing, display, and power subsystems. The actuator of the preferred embodiment is a solid-state nitinol actuator. The actuator causes the array to oscillate such that the tip of the catheter is rotated through an angle equal to or less than 360 degrees. The tip is then capable of rotating back the same amount. This action is repeated until the desired imaging information is acquired. The rotationally vibrating catheter produces more imaging points than a non-rotating imaging catheter and eliminates areas of missing information in the reconstructed image.Rotationally vibrating catheters offer higher image resolution than stationary array catheters and greater flexibility and lower costs than mechanically rotating imaging catheters.The rotationally vibrating array carried on a catheter is vibrated or rocked forward and backward to allow for acquisition of three-dimensional information within a region around the transducer array.The addition of adjunctive therapies to the imaging catheter enhances the utility of the instrument. Examples of such therapies include atherectomy, stent placement, thrombectomy, embolic device placement, and irradiation.

Efficient ultrasound system for two-dimensional c-scan imaging and related method thereof

An ultrasound system and related method for forming 2D C-scan images and / or collecting 3D image data from 2D transducer arrays. The system including in part a 2D transducer array of elements, transmit voltage generation means for each element, a memory buffer with or part of channels for each element, and a receive beamformer. On a time serial or sequential basis, several times for each line of firing, the contents of the per element memory buffer are read into the beamformer with different focusing values for each buffer reading cycle. In this way, the beamformer can calculate beamformed image values for multiple points per line firing cycle—or per each line of signals between the transducer array and receive beamformer.

Method and system for full path analysis

A space is modeled using images from a set of cameras in the space. An easy to use tool is provided that allows users to identify a reference location in an image and a corresponding reference location on a floor plan of the space. Based on these correspondences, a model is generated that can map a point in a camera's view to a point on the floor plan, or vice-versa. Subjects moving through the space are identified and tracked using the model and attributes associated with a subject. In a specific implementation, the attributes include velocity, color, size, and position. In a specific implementation, the space is a retail store and the subjects are customers browsing through the retail store.

Method and apparatus for visualizing and interactively manipulating profile data

Profile data collected through sampling is transformed and visually and interactively manipulated and displayed. In one scenario, the profile data is collected through statistical profiling of a program for a video game. The game program profile data is visually and interactively manipulated and displayed to visually present a dynamic behavior of the video game that shows correlation of impacts that the functions of the program have on the video game's performance. This allows the developer to identify inefficient sections of the program for optimization.

Welding Process for the Welding of Aluminum

ActiveUS20140183168A1Increase and optimize qualityWelded particularly easily and inexpensivelyResistance electrode holdersWelding/cutting auxillary devicesTime extensionControl subjects
A welding process for the welding of aluminium includes a force sensor measuring a force between two welding electrodes on aluminum elements to be welded and transmitting its measured values to a welding control. Until the elapse of a set welding time, the welding control calculates and stores at least one absolute value and / or at least one increase in the measured force. The welding control compares the measured absolute value and / or the increase in the measured force with a reference value and / or a reference curve and calculates a control deviation from the comparison. After the elapse of the set welding time, the welding control subjects the welding electrodes to a constant current during a welding time extension that follows the set welding time, dependent on a magnitude of the control deviation that is measured at the point in time of the elapse and / or during the set welding time.
