Gant, Rebecca M. (2011-02-22)The increasing prevalence of diabetes and the severity of long-term complications have emphasized the need for continuous glucose monitoring. Optically-based methods are advantageous as they have potential for noninvasive ...
-
Sun, Wenjian (2009-05-15)A Matrix-assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) – Ion Mobility (IM) – Surface-induced Dissociation (SID) – Time-of-Flight (TOF) instrument with three different collision source configurations was developed in order ...
-
Nogueira, Felipe Guimaraes (2009-05-15)The objective of this thesis is to develop a low-cost infrared absorption spectroscope based on linear variable filter (LVF) technology for the automated detection of gases and vapors, and the semi-automated detection of ...

Huang, Po-Jung; Cote, Gerard L.; Robinson, Mitchell B.; Kameoka, Jun; Marks, Hurley L. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2019-12-31)There is a need in the point-of-care diagnostic community for an efficient and portable method for testing blood and other biological fluids that can be easily translated across multiple applications. An aspect of the ...

Cote, Gerard L.; Grunden, Daniel T.; Malik, Bilal H.; Pirnstill, Casey; Thomas, Erwin III (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2020-07-07)An embodiment relates generally to an improved method and apparatus for modulating the amplitude and rotation of the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light for multiple uses but primarily as part of a noninvasive ...
-
Malik, Bilal Hameed (2012-02-14)Clinical guidelines dictate that frequent blood glucose monitoring in diabetic patients is critical towards proper management of the disease. Although, several different types of glucose monitors are now commercially ...
-
Kwon, Sun Kuk (2009-05-15)Non-invasive dynamic optical imaging of small animals requires the development of a novel fluorescence imaging modality. Herein, fluorescence imaging is demonstrated with sub-second camera integration times using agents ...
-
Figueroa, Crescente E. (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)A mathematical model to predict separation rates of two phase liquid dispersions coalescing under a.c. fields has been developed. The model consists of a procedural algorithm that includes the effects of film drainage, ...
-
Son, Jong Bum (2009-05-15)Phase-sensitive magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has a number of important clinical applications, such as phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) and Dixon water/fat imaging. PSIR and Dixon techniques are widely used in ...

Ibey, Bennett L.; Yadavalli, Vamsi K.; Rounds, Rebecca M.; Beier, Hope T.; Cote, Gerard L.; Pishko, Michael V. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2010-04-27)This disclosure relates to systems, devices, and methods of sensing an analyte. An implantable sensor may be contacted with a test sample under conditions that permit a binding protein and a ligand of the sensor to interact ...
-
Brown, David Gerald (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Parallel magnetic resonance (MR) imaging may be used to increase either the throughput or the speed of the MR imaging experiment. As such, parallel imaging may be accomplished either through a "parallelization" of the MR ...
-
Venditto, Vincent J. (2011-02-22)Diverse dendrimer peripheries are often produced through convergent synthesis with multiple protection-deprotection steps. Achieving such diversity while maintaining monodispersity, has previously proven problematic. ...
-
Rahbar, Elaheh (2012-10-19)The lymphatic system is an extensive vascular network responsible for the transport of fluid, immune cells, proteins and lipids. It is composed of thin-walled vessels, valves, nodes and ducts, which work together to collect ...
