Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a fully-integrated, disposable biochip for point-of-care testing of clinically relevant parameters. Specifically, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the biochip is designed for POCT (point-of-care-testing) of an array of metabolic parameters including partial pressure of oxygen, Glucose, and Lactate concentration from venous blood samples. The biochip is fabricated on a low-cost plastic substrate using mass manufacturing compatible fabrication processes. Furthermore, the biochip contains a fully-integrated metallic micro-needle for blood sampling. The biochip also uses smart passive microfluidics in conjunction with low-power functional on-chip pressure generators for microfluidic sequencing. The design, configuration, assembly and operation of the biochip are ideally suited for a disposable biochip specifically targeted towards POCT applications.
Abstract:
A mobile communication system controls transmission power of radio links between a base station and a mobile station. The mobile communication system comprises (a) assigning forward and reverse dedicated control channels to the base station and the mobile station, respectively, and controlling transmission power of the forward and reverse dedicated control channels so that the respective channels can receive data; (b) discontinuing the transmission power control, when data to transmit/receive is not generated for a predetermined time; and ĉ for power level arbitration, re-controlling the transmission power of the forward and reverse dedicated control channels in a state where the transmission power control is not performed, so as to adjust the transmission power with which the data can be received.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed relating to the stimulating of tissue including nerve tissue based on combinations of capacitors and resistors. Application and removal of voltage to an electrical circuit is taught as part of a method of creating voltage waveforms for nerve and other tissue with such waveforms creating neural signals. The electrical circuits taught may, include a first electrical node grounded through a first resistor; a second electrical node grounded through a second resistor; a first capacitor connected to both the first electrical node and the second electrical node; a second capacitor separating the second electrical node from a biological grounding point and direct current sources connected to the two nodes.
Abstract:
This application relates to a novel benzo-heterocycle derivative and more particularly, it relates a composition for preventing and treating cancer or for inhibiting metastasis comprising benzo-heterocycle derivative or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as an active ingredient. The present inventors confirmed that KRS has an effect on cancer metastasis by facilitating cancer (or tumor) cell migration through interaction with 67LR, and also found that a substance inhibiting the interaction between KRS and 67LR can prevent and treat cancer by inhibiting cancer cell metastasis. Accordingly, the composition of the present invention can inhibit cancer metastasis, and thus provide a novel means for prevention and treatment of cancer.
Abstract:
A sensing material for use in a sensor is disclosed. Such a sensing material includes a polymer base and a piezoresistive nanocomposite embedded into the polymer base in a continuous pattern. The nanocomposite comprises a polymer matrix and a plurality of conductive nanofillers suspended in the matrix. The conductive nanofillers may be one or a combination of nanotubes, nanowires, particles and flakes. The density of the plurality of nanofillers is such that the nanocomposite exhibits conductivity suitable for electronic and sensor applications.

Abstract:
An electrowetting display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a conductive fluid and a non-conductive fluid. The first substrate includes a first base substrate, a first electrode layer, a hydrophobic insulation layer and a partition wall. The first electrode layer is formed on the first base substrate and includes pixel electrodes spaced apart from each other and a common notch electrode formed between the pixel electrodes. The hydrophobic insulation layer is formed on the first electrode layer. The partition wall is formed surrounding the pixel electrodes and the common notch electrode on the hydrophobic insulation layer. The second substrate is opposite to the first substrate. The conductive fluid and the non-conductive fluid are interposed between the first and second substrates. The conductive fluid and the non-conductive fluid are controlled to vary transmittance of light in accordance with an electric signal applied to the pixel electrodes.
