20090221021 | DISTINCTION BETWEEN BACTERIAL MENINGITIS AND VIRAL MENINGITIS - The present invention relates to the field of the distinction between bacterial meningitis and viral meningitis. It relates in particular to an in vitro method for detecting the presence of bacterial meningitis, which comprises determining the concentration of procalcitonin present in a test blood sample and of proteins present in a test cerebrospinal fluid sample, and comparing the concentrations thus determined to the concentration of procalcitonin and of proteins present in a reference sample or to a reference value. It also relates to a kit comprising means for detecting procalcitonin and proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid, and to the use thereof for the production of a diagnostic tool for bacterial meningitis. | 09-03-2009 |

20130226931 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR APPEND-ONLY STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL OF INFORMATION - A method, a system, and a computer program product for storing and retrieving information are provided. The system receives information. Thereafter, the system organizes the information for optimal storage and retrieval based on qualities of a storage medium. The organizing may include optimizing the information for sequential read and/or write access. The information may be organized in an append-only manner. Once the information has been organized, the apparatus presents and/or stores the organized information. | 08-29-2013 |
20130254208 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INDEXING IN DATASTORES - A method, system, apparatus, and computer program product for indexing information stored in data-stores. The system receives a new index request. The system creates an index in response to the request. The new index includes at least one segment, a first flag, and a last flag. Each segment comprises index summary information. The system then stores the index in memory. | 09-26-2013 |
20130290243 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSACTION REPRESENTATION IN APPEND-ONLY DATASTORES - A method, apparatus, and system, and computer program product for transaction representation in append-only data-stores. The system receives input from a user or agent and begins a transaction involving at least one datastore based on the received input. The system then creates, updates, and maintains a transaction state. The system ends the transaction and writes the state of the transaction to memory in an append-only manner, wherein the state comprises append-only key and value files. | 10-31-2013 |

20100056894 | Self-Cleaning Membrane for Implantable Biosensors - The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to compositions, devices, systems, and methods including and/or for preparing and/or using a thermoresponsive nanocomposite hydrogel. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to methods of preparing a hydrogel including, for example, photochemically curing an aqueous solution of NIPAAm and copoly(dimethylsiloxane/methylvinylsiloxane) colloidal nanoparticles (˜219 nm). At temperatures above a volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) of ˜33-34° C., a hydrogel may deswell and become hydrophobic, while lowering the temperature below a VPTT may cause the hydrogel to swell and become hydrophilic. | 03-04-2010 |
