20130007926 | ADMINISTRATION OF PLANT EXPRESSED ORAL TOLERANCE AGENTS - Protein replacement therapy for patients with hemophilia or other inherited protein deficiencies is often complicated by pathogenic antibody responses, including antibodies that neutralize the therapeutic protein or that predispose to potentially life-threatening anaphylactic reactions by formation of IgE. Using murine hemophilia B as a model, we have developed a prophylactic protocol against such responses that is non-invasive and does not include immune suppression or genetic manipulation of the patient's cells. Oral delivery of coagulation factor IX (F. IX) expressed in chloroplasts, bioencapsulated in plant cells, effectively blocked formation of inhibitory antibodies in protein replacement therapy. Inhibitor titers were mostly undetectable and up to 100-fold lower in treated mice when compared to controls. Moreover, this treatment eliminated fatal anaphylactic reactions that occurred after 4 to 6 exposures to intravenous F. IX protein. While only 20-25% of control animals survived after 6-8 F. IX doses, 90-95% of tolerized mice survived 12 injections without signs of allergy or anaphylaxis. This high-responder strain of hemophilia B mice represents the first hemophilic animal model to study anaphylactic reactions. The plant material was effective over a range of oral antigen doses (equivalent to 5-80 μg recombinant F.IX/kg), and controlled inhibitor formation and anaphylaxis long-term, up to 7 months. Oral antigen administration caused a deviant immune response that suppressed formation of IgE and inhibitory antibodies. This cost-effective and efficient approach to oral delivery of protein antigens to the gut should be applicable to several genetic diseases that are prone to pathogenic antibody responses during treatment. | 01-03-2013 |

20150337511 | BIOHYDROCHEMICAL ENHANCEMENT STRUCTURE FOR STREAM-WATER TREATMENT - Novel streamwater remediation systems and processes are presented. The disclosed systems involve design and placement of geometric volumes of porous media of variable hydraulic conductivity within the streambed to enhance hyporheic exchange (exchange of water from the stream or constructed urban waterway compartment to the porous media, or streambed, compartment). The disclosed systems may help improve water quality in various ways, for example through the removal of contaminants from water as it passes through the streambed. In some embodiments, contaminant removal is achieved by microbes and/or reactive geomedia incorporated into the streambed structures. By pairing hydrologic/flow structures with bacteria or reactive geomedia, diverse contaminants such as metals, nutrients, organics, pathogens, and more can be sorbed, deactivated, assimilated, transformed to harmless chemicals, and otherwise removed from the water. Because the structures are designed to return water to the stream after treatment, the stream water quality is improved by the structures. | 11-26-2015 |

20090222224 | Multi-circuit direct current monitor with Modbus serial output - A multi-circuit direct current monitor consists of a plurality of Hall Effect current sensors mounted on a printed circuit board oriented to sense the direct current (DC) flow from power generating devices such as solar arrays, output from the Hall Effect sensors connected to an analog to digital (A/D) converter which in turn is connected to a microprocessor. The multi-circuit direct current monitor continuously monitors instantaneous and average current values for each circuit as well as total instantaneous current and average current for all active circuits. The multi-circuit direct current monitor provides continuous communications via Modbus RTU as well as providing alarm outputs if one or more circuits deviates from the average output by a percentage greater than the user specified threshold for a user-defined period of time to detect failed or underperforming power output devices. | 09-03-2009 |

20150029505 | Spark-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy Electrode Assembly - A spark-induced breakdown spectroscopy apparatus can have a housing with an inlet and an outlet that define an analyte flow path. A laser can define a laser pathway generally transverse to an intersecting the analyte flow path. A pair of electrodes, which can have insulating shields, can be mounted within the housing and can define a spark path. An optical detection element defines an optical path. The apparatus can be used to identify an aerosolized analyte. | 01-29-2015 |

20090316138 | METHOD AND INSTRUMENTATION FOR DETERMINING A PHYSICAL PROPERTY OF A PARTICLE - Physical property determination of a particle or classification of the particle as a function of the physical property by evaluating scattered light profile from a single particle is disclosed. The particle may include chemical structures that vibrate as a function of a physical property of the particle. The physical property may include an absorptive property of the particle or a chemical composition. From a detected scattered light spectrum, at least two anomalous dispersive regions may be identified. The physical property of the particle may be determined as a function of the at least two regions. A system employing the physical property determination can achieve sensitivities useful for low particle density applications such as detection for biological and chemical agents. | 12-24-2009 |
20100220323 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IN SITU AEROSOL THERMO-RADIOMETRIC ANALYSIS - Particle detection systems configured to identify a particle included in a bulk sample volume are less efficient than if measurements are to be taken of a single particle. An embodiment of a particle detection system according to an embodiment of the present invention capable of determining an identification of a particle in a fluid stream is presented. The detection system may employ one or any number of heating stations. Each heating station may be set to a distinct temperature. The heating stations may include a light source and a light detector, such that once a particle traverses a beam provided by the light source, the light detector may measure resultant optical scattering. Based on the optical scattering with respect to temperature or temperature variation, an identification of the single particle may be obtained, thereby eliminating measurement inaccuracies associated with bulk sample volumes. The particle detection system may be applied to detection of organic particles among inorganic particles in various fluid flow environments, such as for safety or quality purposes. | 09-02-2010 |
