Non-invasive fetal genetic screening by digital analysis
ActiveUS20070202525A1Enriching fetal DNAMicrobiological testing/measurementFermentationChorionic villiMassively parallel
The present methods are exemplified by a process in which maternal blood containing fetal DNA is diluted to a nominal value of approximately 0.5 genome equivalent of DNA per reaction sample. Digital PCR is then be used to detect aneuploidy, such as the trisomy that causes Down Syndrome. Since aneuploidies do not present a mutational change in sequence, and are merely a change in the number of chromosomes, it has not been possible to detect them in a fetus without resorting to invasive techniques such as amniocentesis or chorionic villi sampling. Digital amplification allows the detection of aneuploidy using massively parallel amplification and detection methods, examining, e.g., 10,000 genome equivalents.

System and method for integrating and accessing multiple data sources within a data warehouse architecture
InactiveUS7152070B1Data processing applicationsDigital data information retrievalPresent methodAnalysis data
A system and method is disclosed for integrating and accessing multiple data sources within a data warehouse architecture. The metadata formed by the present method provide a way to declaratively present domain specific knowledge, obtained by analyzing data sources, in a consistent and useable way. Four types of information are represented by the metadata: abstract concepts, databases, transformations and mappings. A mediator generator automatically generates data management computer code based on the metadata. The resulting code defines a translation library and a mediator class. The translation library provides a data representation for domain specific knowledge represented in a data warehouse, including “get” and “set” methods for attributes that call transformation methods and derive a value of an attribute if it is missing. The mediator class defines methods that take “distinguished” high-level objects as input and traverse their data structures and enter information into the data warehouse.

Human-computer interface including haptically controlled interactions
InactiveUS6954899B1Lower requirementEasy to controlInput/output for user-computer interactionCathode-ray tube indicatorsPresent methodHuman–machine interface
The present invention provides a method of human-computer interfacing that provides haptic feedback to control interface interactions such as scrolling or zooming within an application. Haptic feedback in the present method allows the user more intuitive control of the interface interactions, and allows the user's visual focus to remain on the application. The method comprises providing a control domain within which the user can control interactions. For example, a haptic boundary can be provided corresponding to scrollable or scalable portions of the application domain. The user can position a cursor near such a boundary, feeling its presence haptically (reducing the requirement for visual attention for control of scrolling of the display). The user can then apply force relative to the boundary, causing the interface to scroll the domain. The rate of scrolling can be related to the magnitude of applied force, providing the user with additional intuitive, non-visual control of scrolling.

Disclosed are a method and apparatus that use an electric field for improved biological assays. The electric field is applied across a device having wells, which receive reactants, which carry a charge. The device thus uses a controllable voltage source between the first and second electrodes, which is controllable to provide a positive charge and a negative charge to a given electrode. By controlled use of the electric field charged species in a fluid in a fluid channel are directed into or out of the well by an electric field between the electrodes.

Method of digital image enhancement and sharpening
InactiveUS6879735B1MinimizesImage enhancementImage analysisRadiographic Image EnhancementPresent method
A method of digital image enhancement and sharpening (11, 12) which may be applied to restoration of blurred digital images of arbitrary origin. The method uses a specially formulated constraint (15) to reconstruct the original images. In particular, the constraint of the present method minimizes the area where strong image parameter variations and discontinuities occur. This new constraint is called a minimum gradient support (MGS) constraint. The MGS constraint generates a stable sharp solution of the linear ill-posed image restoration equation with an arbitrary blurring operator.

Synthesis of colloidal nanocrystals
InactiveUS6872249B2High crystallinityGood monodispersityFrom gel stateMaterial nanotechnologyPresent methodSulfur
A method of synthesizing colloidal nanocrystals is disclosed using metal oxides or metal salts as a precursor. The metal oxides or metal salts are combined with a ligand and then heated in combination with a coordinating solvent. Upon heating, the metal oxides or salts are converted to stable soluble metal complexes. The metal complexes are formed by cationic species combining with the ligands and / or with the coordinating solvent. Finally, an elemental chalcogenic precursor, for example, Se, Te, or S, is introduced into the soluble metal complex to complete the formation of the nanocrystals at a controllable rate. High-quality CdSe, CdTe, and CdS nanocrystals are produced when CdO is used as the cadmium precursor. With the present method, the size, size distribution, and shape (dots or rods) of the resulting nanocrystals can be controlled during growth. For example, the resulting nanocrystals are nearly monodisperse without any size separation. Further, the method represents a major step towards a green chemistry approach for synthesizing high-quality semiconductor nanocrystals.

Osmotic desalination process
InactiveUS20050145568A1High yieldImprove concentrationSolvent extractionGeneral water supply conservationPresent methodDesalination
An energy efficient desalination process that does not produce waste products involves the extraction of water from a first solution, such as seawater, by using a second concentrated solution to draw the water from the first solution across a semi-permeable membrane. By manipulating the equilibrium of the soluble and insoluble species of solute within the second solution in favor of the soluble species of the solute, a saturated second solution can be used to generate osmotic pressure on the first solution. Also, by adjusting the equilibrium in favor of the less soluble species after the water has been drawn from the first solution, a portion of the solute can easily be precipitated out. Heating the second solution decomposes the solute into its constituent gasses. The constituent gasses and precipitated solute may be recycled through the process to affect the changes in equilibrium and eliminate waste products. Additionally, by using the waste steam from industrial sources and a heat pump to effectively distribute heat through the present method, the present method exhibits greater energy efficiency than prior art methods.

DNA is a natural molecular level storage device. Molecular storage devices use each molecule or part of it for storing a character. Thus it is possible to store information million of times than presently used storage devices. For example a JPEG image (i.e. flag of India) having file size of 1981 Bytes can be encrypted using 7924 DNA bases which occupies about 2694.16 nanometers In other words flag of India can be encrypted 8.07×105 times in human genome which comprises 6.4×109 DNA bases and occupy a tiny volume of about 0.02 μm3. A method for storing information in DNA has been developed which includes software and a set of schemes to encrypt, store and decrypt information in terms of DNA bases. The main advantages of the present method over exiting art is that it addresses complete set of extended ASCII characters set and thereby, encryption of all kind of digital information (text, image, audio etc.). First of all, information is, encrypted along with carefully designed sequences known as header and tail primers at both the ends of actual encrypted information. This encrypted sequence is then synthesized and mixed up with the enormous complex denatured DNA strands of genomic DNA of human or other organism.
