International Classification:

G01N 33/543
C12M 1/34

US Classification:

436518000, 977902000, 435287200

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention provide methods for determining the degenerate binding capabilities of antibodies. The methods provide information about degenerate binding capabilities without the use of involved procedures. Optionally, a molecule toward which an antibody exhibits degenerate binding ability may be identified through the use of a reporter, such as, a composite organic inorganic nanocluster (COIN). COINs are sensitive SERS (surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy) reporters capable of multiplex analysis of analytes.

US Classification:

482107

Abstract:

A weight-lifting apparatus includes a plurality of weights each having a central hole and a slot extending from the central hole to a perimeter of the associated weight, the slot having a width less than the diameter of the central hole. The apparatus further includes a shaft having opposing ends defining a diameter about equal to the central holes, and a sleeve positioned on the shaft. The shaft is shaped to rotatably engage the central holes and is rotatable to different positions. The shaft further has a plurality of recessed surfaces on the opposing ends corresponding to the different positions that extend different longitudinal lengths, the recessed surfaces defining with other surfaces on the shaft a reduced dimension about equal to the width of the slot. Further, the shaft and the weights are configured so that by rotating the shaft, the recessed surfaces are selectively positioned to allow the shaft to slide along one or more of the slots, thus selectively releasing the weights. A person using the weight-lifting apparatus can easily rotate the shaft to select a desired number of weights without interrupting their exercise routine.

US Classification:

250227

Abstract:

A system for detecting chemical characteristics within a material includes an optical fiber having a relatively short unclad sensor section for embedding in a material, a source of infrared radiation to direct infrared radiation into the fiber, and an optical decoder connected to the fiber to detect the spectrum of infrared radiation absorbed by the material in which the sensor section is embedded.
