Multi-Transducer/Antenna Surface Acoustic Wave Device Sensor And Tag (Cip Of 11/203,260), Donald Malocha Nov 2009

Multi-Transducer/Antenna Surface Acoustic Wave Device Sensor And Tag (Cip Of 11/203,260), Donald Malocha

UCF Patents

A surface acoustic wave sensor or tag having multiple transducer/antenna pairs each having a different center frequency. The bandwidth of each transducer/antenna pair is inversely proportional to the number of transducer/antenna used and the bandwidth is the sum of the bandwidth transducer/antenna pairs. Implementing a SAW sensor or tag with multiple transducer/antenna pairs significantly reduces devices losses and improves the performance of the device since the individual transducer/antenna pair's fractional bandwidth is reduced by the ratio of the system bandwidth to the number of transducer/antenna pairs used in the sensor.

Photosensitive Polymeric Material For Worm Optical Data Storage With Two Photon Fluorescent Readout, Kevin Belfield Nov 2009

Photosensitive Polymeric Material For Worm Optical Data Storage With Two Photon Fluorescent Readout, Kevin Belfield

UCF Patents

Image formation via photoinduced fluorescence changes in a polymeric medium with two-photon fluorescence readout of a multi-layer structure. Fluorophore-containing polymers, possessing one or more basic functional groups, underwent protonation in the presence of a photoinduced acid generator upon exposure to a broad-band UV light source or fast-pulsed red to near-IR laser irradiation. Solution studies demonstrated formation of monoprotonated and diprotonated species upon irradiation, each resulting in distinctly different absorption and fluorescence properties. The fluorescence of the original, neutral, fluorophore was reduced upon monoprotonation leading to a concomitant increase in fluorescence at longer wavelengths due to the monoprotonated form, the basis …

Targeting Of Long Chain Triacylglycerol Hydrolase Gene For Tuberculosis Treatment, Pappachan Kolattukudy, Jaiyanth Daniel, Chirajyoti Deb Oct 2009

Targeting Of Long Chain Triacylglycerol Hydrolase Gene For Tuberculosis Treatment, Pappachan Kolattukudy, Jaiyanth Daniel, Chirajyoti Deb

UCF Patents

Tuberculosis, caused by the organism Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is one of the major public health threats in the world. The emergence of multidrug resistant strains poses serious threats to the control of this disease due to the complex nature of second-line drug treatment. Upon infection, the bacterium goes through an initial replication phase after which it enters a nonreplicative, drug-resistant state of dormancy. The bacterium is able to survive in this dormant state for decades until the hosts immune system is weakened when it reactivates and causes the infectious disease.

Stormwater Irrigation Volume Iii: Transport Of The Cyanotoxin Microcystin In Groundwater Beneath Stormwater Ponds: Results Of Soil Column Experiments, Martin Wanielista Sep 2009

Stormwater Irrigation Volume Iii: Transport Of The Cyanotoxin Microcystin In Groundwater Beneath Stormwater Ponds: Results Of Soil Column Experiments, Martin Wanielista

BMP Trains Research and Publications

As the demand for fresh water increases in central Florida to meet both public supply and irrigation needs, stormwater is increasingly being managed as a resource to help offset possible future declines in aquifer water levels. Water quality is an important consideration when using stormwater for recharge or harvesting. A constituent of recent concern is cyanobacteria (popularly known as blue-green algae) because some of these can produce toxins (cyanotoxins) that are detrimental to animal and human health. Microcystins are the most commonly found type of cyanotoxin in Florida and have been detected in a variety of rivers, natural lakes, and …

High Intensity Mhz Mode-Locked Laser, Martin Richardon, Arnaud Zoubir

UCF Patents

Systems, configurations and methods of using an ultrafast, self-starting, mode-locked laser are provided. The systems, devices and methods of using stable, self-starting mode-locked lasers, can be compact, use fewer optical elements and have energies sufficient for most micro-processing and micro-structuring applications. The large spectral bandwidth of ultra-short (femtosecond) laser pulses can be used in laser sensing applications, micro-matching, time-resolved experiments, where short-lived transient species can be observed in biological chemical reactions. Terahertz radiation can be generated using ultrashort pulses and used for imaging applications.

Messenger Rna Profiling: Body Fluid Id Using Multiplex Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (Rt-Pcr) [Div], John Ballantyne, Jane Juusola

UCF Patents

This invention relates to a body fluids identification method and kit. A parallel, multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for the definitive identification of body fluids commonly encountered in forensic casework analysis, namely blood, saliva, semen, and vaginal secretions. The methodology is based on gene expression profiling analysis in which the body fluid-specific genes are identified by detecting the presence of appropriate messenger RNA species. Gene-specific primers are labeled with fluorescent dyes, separated and subjected to laser induced fluorescence for identification of body fluid-specific genes present in a sample stain.

Interconnecting Microfluidic Package And Fabrication Method, Hyoung Cho Aug 2009

Interconnecting Microfluidic Package And Fabrication Method, Hyoung Cho

UCF Patents

A one-piece, microfluidic package with standardized multiple ports allows devices to be connected in series without resorting to extra tubing connections or bonding 5 processes. The one-piece construction consists of microfluidic channels that can be connected to fluid reservoirs and other fluidic components fabricated with interconnecting and interlocking ports. The size of the friction-fit interlocking ports is designed such that the smaller male port fits snugly into the larger female port in a manner that is leak-free and adhesive-fiee. The friction-fit ports can also be 10 reconfigured. Thus, the interconnection of microfluidic packages can be in an extended series including …
