The present invention relates, e.g., to a method for detecting a nucleic acid molecule of interest in a sample comprising cell-free nucleic acids, comprising fluorescently labeling the nucleic acid molecule of interest, by specifically binding a fluorescently labeled nanosensor or probe to the nucleic acid of interest, or by enzymatically incorporating a fluorescent probe or dye into the nucleic acid of interest, illuminating the fluorescently labeled nucleic acid molecule, causing it to emit fluorescent light, and measuring the level of fluorescence by single molecule spectroscopy, wherein the detection of a fluorescent signal is indicative of the presence of the nucleic acid of interest in the sample.

An application integration driver infrastructure for facilitating the use of a distributed directory running in a computer network is provided. The infrastructure can transform specific directory events into a vendor-neutral data identification system and then use vendor-neutral transformation technologies to transform the neutral data identification into a specific application's data format, and vice-versa. The infrastructure receives an event from the distributed directory into a markup language generation system, such as an extensible markup language (“XML”) generator. The XML generator converts the event into XML data and provides the XML data to a transformation processing system, such as an extensible transformation language (“XSLT”) processor. The XSLT processor transforms the XML data to a predetermined format. The format can be dictated by a stylesheet provided to the XSLT processor, the stylesheet being responsive to requirements of a computer application. The transformed data is then provided to the application for the application to use in a conventional manner. The application may use an application shim to convert the transformed data into a native application program interface (“API”) for the application.

A cellular mobile radio network selects a cell when a mobile station accesses the network, if a different cell than initially accessed by the mobile station is better suited to provide the types of services required by the mobile station, and is available. If a better cell is selected, the network initiates a hand over of the mobile station to the selected cell.

Disclosed are mixtures comprising aqueous thiophene/anion dispersions, such as polythiophene/polystyrene sulfonate aqueous dispersions, and additives, as well as coatings produced therefrom. Coatings produced from these mixtures yield significant improvements in electrical conductivity without the need for a high temperature treatment as compared to coatings produced from unmodified aqueous polythiophene dispersions (e.g., Baytron®P) and to coatings produced from state-of the-art aqueous polythiophene-additive mixtures. These conductivity improvements are achieved without detracting from the optical transparency of the coating. Because characteristics of volume resistivity of less than 6.6 ohm·cm and optical transmission greater than 80% are important for conductive coating applications, coatings produced from the mixtures of the present invention have significant advantages over coatings produced from the state-of-the-art mixtures in many applications.

Also disclosed are a variety of substrates or articles of manufacture coated with the mixtures of the present invention for use in various applications where a combination of high electrical conductivity, excellent optical transparency and low temperature processing are important, such as electronic and optoelectronic devices.

There is provided a high-sensitivity organic semiconductor radiation/light sensor and a radiation/light detector which can detect rays in real time. In the high-sensitivity organic semiconductor radiation/light sensor, a signal amplification wire 2 is embedded in an organic semiconductor 1. Carriers created by passage of radiation or light are avalanche-amplified by a high electric field generated near the signal amplification wire 2 by means of applying a high voltage to the signal amplification wire 2, thus dramatically improving detection efficiency of rays. Hence, even rays exhibiting low energy loss capability can be detected in real time with high sensitivity.
