20150194611 | AIR-STABLE, BLUE LIGHT EMITTING CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS - We report the synthesis and characterization of four novel CCC—NHC pincer platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes, which adopt a distorted square planar configuration. These complexes emit bright blue light in the solid state under UV irradiation with emissions that are stable in ambient atmosphere (O | 07-09-2015 |
20150139444 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING TRANSIENT ACOUSTIC SIGNALS - A two-scale array for detecting wind noise signals and acoustic signals includes a plurality of subarrays each including a plurality of microphones. The subarrays are spaced apart from one another such that the subarrays are configured to detect acoustic signals, and the plurality of microphones in each subarray are located close enough to one another such that wind noise signals are substantially correlated between the microphones in each subarray. | 05-21-2015 |
20140157985 | Dehumidification Systems and Methods Thereof - An apparatus for removing water vapor from a feed gas is provided that comprises a membrane housing, a membrane that divides a first pressure side and a second pressure side of the membrane housing, a feed gas inlet and outlet on the first pressure side, a sweep gas inlet and outlet on the second pressure side, a sweep gas flow regulator, and a pump. In some embodiments the feed gas can be at ambient pressure and a pressure drop across the membrane can be less than about 1 atm. In some embodiments the sweep gas can be a portion of the feed gas exiting the first pressure side. Some embodiments are part of air conditioning, drying, or water recovery systems. Additionally, some embodiments achieve dew points of less than 0° C. and dehumidification efficiencies of 200% to 600%. | 06-12-2014 |
20130287694 | ANIMAL MODEL OF ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION - This invention relates generally to animal models of anxiety and depression. Specifically, this invention relates to an in vivo high utility, high-throughput model for screening anxiolytic/antidepressant drugs in fowl chicks with stress vulnerability. This new animal model utilizes an inexpensive avian model, measures spontaneous behaviors in very young animals, and is capable of detecting and/or differentiating a compound's anxiolytic and/or antidepressant effects. This new animal model is especially useful in detecting and/or differentiating a compound's anxiolytic and/or antidepressant effects in treatment-resistant subjects. Animal costs are less than 10% of rodent costs and the assay can be run in a high-throughput mode. | 10-31-2013 |
20120289766 | STUTTERING INHIBITION METHOD AND DEVICE - A method and device is disclosed for reducing and controlling stuttering. The method involves tactile feedback of the stutterer's own speech to reducing stuttering. In one embodiment, the device may detect speech by audible or mechanical means, and the feedback may be produced by vibration mechanisms. | 11-15-2012 |
20120281832 | SECURE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TRANSCEIVER - An efficient hybrid encryption-coding algorithm is disclosed that requires using traditional encryption only for the first small amount of data. This amount of data, the first block, is determined by the traditional encryption algorithm to be applied on this first block. In this algorithm, all of the rest of the information will then be transmitted securely over the wireless channel, using network coding, without a need for using traditional encryption. Unlike the traditional and opportunistic encryption algorithms, the algorithm achieves higher data rates and less avalanche error effect, and, at the same time, it is as secure as traditional encryption algorithms. Assuming the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel model employing our disclosed algorithm, we analyze its performance in terms of throughput and security level. | 11-08-2012 |
20120205554 | AIR-STABLE, BLUE LIGHT EMITTING CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS - We report the synthesis and characterization of four novel CCC—NHC pincer platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes, which adopt a distorted square planar configuration. These complexes emit bright blue light in the solid state under UV irradiation with emissions that are stable in ambient atmosphere (O2 and H2O) for extended periods. We also report the synthesis and characterization of CCC—NHC pincer ligand nickel complexes, and solid state fluorescence spectra have been collected for two of the complexes reported. X-ray structural analysis of a representative compound exhibits a distorted square planar geometry. Finally, we report the synthesis and characterization of CCC—NHC pincer ligand complexes for abnormal carbens, triazole, and BIA. | 08-16-2012 |
