20120297233 | SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOLS - Systems and methods are disclosed which relate to improving synchronization of clocks between a sender and a receiver communicating via an asynchronous serial interface. In a ring topology, a master device is connected to a plurality of slaves communicating using a bi-frequency encoded bit stream. A host device communicates with the master device using a non-return-to-zero data encoding. Each slave receives data from the master and sends it to the next slave in the ring unaltered unless the master indicates a requirement for a particular data, and transmits placeholder bits with a value of 0 around the ring. A particular slave can “fill-in” the placeholder bits with the information to be sent back to the master by inverting the placeholder bit. Clock synchronization between a receiving device and a transmitting device is improved using a fractional rate multiplier to generate a data sampling clock from a system clock. By adjusting the denominator, the sampling clock can be tuned to match the baud rate of the asynchronous serial data stream received from the transmitting device. Embodiments described include power management, data acquisition (DAQ), etc. | 11-22-2012 |

20130040285 | Saliva Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay for Cytomegalovirus Infection - Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is an important cause of disease in infants and immune-compromised adults. Most infants infected with CMV are not promptly identified because of the absence of symptoms. It has been discovered that an assay based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for testing of saliva specimens for CMV is rapid, accurate, and inexpensive. Some versions of the assay employ primers that are specific for sequences flanking the highly conserved major envelope glycoprotein B or the highly conserved immediate early 2 exon 5 genes. The assay exceeds the standard rapid culture technique in accuracy, speed, and economy. When the assay is performed on dried saliva, it loses no significant amount of accuracy, and is surprisingly much more sensitive than a PCR assay using dried blood. This assay will permit broader testing to detect and intervene in congenital CMV infection, potentially avoiding numerous cases of associated disease. | 02-14-2013 |
