Alternative paths to alcohols and hydrocarbons from biomass
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-07-31)
A method of producing alcohols, hydrocarbons, or both from biomass by converting biomass into a carboxylic acid, reacting the carboxylic acid with an olefin to produce an ester and hydrogenolyzing the ester to produce ...
Rank modulation for flash memories
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-08-14)
We investigate a novel storage technology, Rank Modulation, for flash memories. In this scheme, a set of n cells stores information in the permutation induced by the different charge levels of the individual cells. The ...
Polymers responsive to radiation pressures
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-05-01)
Polymers that undergo a reversible phase change in response to being exposed to a light from a laser having a radiation pressure greater than a threshold level. The phase changeable polymers have the ability to reduce the ...
Beta-lactone compounds
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-09-04)
The present invention provides compounds having the general structure A, or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof:
wherein R is an alkyl group, and R1 comprises at least one moiety selected from a group ...
Error correcting codes for rank modulation
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-07-17)
We investigate error-correcting codes for a novel storage technology, which we call the rank-modulation scheme. In this scheme, a set of n cells stores information in the permutation induced by the different levels of the ...
Wyner-Ziv coding based on TCQ and LDPC codes
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-06-26)
An encoder employs a trellis coded quantization (TCQ) unit and a compression unit. The TCQ uses a set of polynomials that have been selected to maximize granular gain. The TCQ unit operates on a block of samples from a ...
Dispersion, alignment and deposition of nanotubes
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-06-12)
A dispersible nanocomposite comprising nanotubes associated with nanoplatelets. A method for creating an exfoliated nanotubes solution, aligning nanotubes and depositing them on a substrate or in matrix. In one embodiment, ...
Crystal structure of Staphylococcus aureus clumping factor A in complex with fibrinogen derived peptide and uses thereof
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-10-02)
The present invention provides a method for determining the structure of a microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecule in complex with fibrinogen, by providing a ClfA complexed with a fibrinogen ...
Method for glucose monitoring using fluorescence quenching
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-01-03)
This disclosure relates to a method of measuring a glucose concentration metric or a glucose metric in a patient by contacting an implantable glucose-sensing device with a test sample, which may be in the patient, under ...
Water-soluble nanoparticles with controlled aggregate sizes
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2012-01-24)
A method of forming dispersed water-soluble quantum dots and tuning water-soluble quantum dot aggregate size by providing a plurality of water-soluble quantum dots in a dispersion, the plurality of water-soluble quantum ...
